Joyce Vance - You know, there was a time in this country when a politician like Kevin McCarthy was

[mobeau69]

caught in a lie like this he would resign. We’re obviously way past that time now.

No shit. I’m old enough to remember that time. Fuck you, trump. Look what you’ve done to our country you bastard.

1. Started well before trmp, imo started with gingrich and they latched on, never gave up.

11. Newt. Yup.

At least as far as politicians go, he started it. He was all-in on “no compromise” and “any lie is acceptable for power”. But, I think Rush “The Vulgar Pigboy” Limpballs (R-OxyContin) started it via AM hate radio.

2. Howard Dean is thinking

my f'n scream???

[MacKasey]

8. Still mad about that

The scream was nothing, the media did Dean in

[Rebl2]

12. Yep

[summer_in_TX]

14. Yes, as soon as Dean said he planned to

regulate Big Media, he didn't get any more positive press.

3. After Rove and "Please Clap" Jebby flopped, GOP went Evil Cartel bad.

I do think it was inevitable though. Very few Republicans can stand a simple Google search vetting.

They needed T***p badly to lower the bar to beneath sea level.

4. I bet TFG just said to blow it off, nothing is gonna happen. And I bet

it won't.. If the powers that be don't do anything.. nothing is gonna happen. The repukes will just continue to lie and cheat, lie and cheat.

5. Since all of the repugs are liars and cheaters...

they think it's normal behavior and just shrug it off when one of them gets caught.

7. Yes, those days are long gone and way before McCarthy/Trump

although the frightening downward spiral has furiously accelerated in the last few years. Sadly a good 25%-33% (maybe more) of USA citizen voters are on board and okie-dokie for electing and re-electing destructive Republican lowlifes.

9. He had help from every single right wing fundagelical preacher out there

who told those poor, desperate saps they're leading around that god works through flawed men when anybody with synapses that still functioned could see plainly that TFG was beyond flawed, he was irreparably evil.

So I don't blame the craven cowards like McCarthy or even the intersection between psychopathy and narcissism that is TFG. I blame those pompadoured scum sucking bastards in all those pulpits. They created him and they're continuing to blind their followers to who and what they are backing in leadership roles in this country.

So I'm almost hoping Roe is partially overturned, giving the slave states the right to enslave womenby creating hoops too high to jump through, who one hopes will then vote with their feet. It would kick the entire underpinning out of the political wing of the fundagelicals.

Who knows? Some of them might take to reading that book they've been waving around and realize what has been in their pulpits all this time, especially if his "ministry" requires multiple mansions and a fleet of private jets.

13. Well said

[TFRD]

10. I'm old enough to remember that too and it usually

started with getting kicked of every committee and public admonishment by the respective party.

16. The party of the R's has had no SHAME since 1972

and they have not given a shit about anything other then get elected since at least 1980

[Achilleaze]

17. Republicans lack HONOR

They flushed their honor down the crapper long ago when they embraced the Big City Casino Hustler-Grifter as their moral exemplar.
