OD'd on kool-aid

When our president says do it … that means that it is not illegal
?w=1360&ssl=1

Plotting to overturn an election, battling police, sacking the Capitol, stealing state secrets … it’s all legal, by definition, if the president does it or sanctions it.

If there is blame to be assigned for Jan. 6, Joe Scarborough observes, the MAGA panel believes it’s Nancy Pelosi’s fault, it’s Democratic operatives’ fault, it’s the Capitol Police’s fault. Those arrested for the violence are political prisoners, etc. They have mainlined the kool-aid. Some of them probably have no memory of Nixon, but excusing their own for what are clearly crimes is nothing new, is it?

If our God-Emperor says, "Kill the Democrats", it is legal for me to do so because TFG was put there by God and is above all laws.

Those who can make you believe absurdities will make you commit atrocities. Look no further to the Russians in Ukraine for proof of that.

When a difficult question came up they all started chattering like a troop of agitated chimpanzees.

Isn't there a point where "these people are crazy" stops being worthy of non-stop news coverage?

Maybe we should hear a bit about what the sane people are saying, instead.
