Does It Make A Difference (DIMAD).....

I'm going to use this 5 word statement in those posts I see here on DU - where fellow DUers point fingers at all those illegal and underhanded things that the Repugs do - that we think they should be held accountable for.

The problem with all those accusations and plots we expose of theirs - never amount to getting them in any trouble. They just go ahead and do as they please and turn their nose up to the laws - because they know that no one will ever hold them accountable.

So when somebody tells me that a Repug lawyer or House Member or Senator or TFG's cronies does something that is contrary to the law and they should be held accountable for. I'm just going to post - Does It Make A Difference (DIMAD)?

Meaning - thanks for exposing that - but nothing will happen to them. DIMAD? No. They'll get away with it because that is what they do.

They push the illegal angle anyway they can and throw caution to the wind. If their well placed judges don't let them off on some technicality a Repug president will just pardon them anyway. Or they'll attempt to change history and tell us what we see is not what we see and they will make of a story on how these lawbreakers are patriots.

Here's a good example of the type of post I'm talking about:

Trump Campaign Knew Lawyers' Voting Machine Claims Were Baseless, Memo Shows

Nice that they knew the voting machines claims were baseless. These claims of voter fraud and cheating were made anyway. And I say DIMAD that we know that now.

No - because that is all water under the bridge now. They took their shot. It didn't work. So they moved on to some other way to make trouble.

immediately prior to the sentencing phase of a successful prosecution/guilty plea.

And cats. And dogs, but only nice ones.
