House Republicans Are Morally Bankrupt

[angrychair]

While there is the ongoing issue of Republicans actively protecting pedophiles but now they are protecting a House member, Rep Tony Gonzales, that drove a staffer, Regina Santos-Avilesto, literally to die by setting herself on fire.

This is absolutely disgusting. If any of us had done half of what Gonzales did we would already be in jail. Why hasn't he been indicted? Arrested? He drove her to suicide.

Republicans are a living, breathing crime against humanity.

1. I'm sure Gonzalez knows his congressional career will end this year.

Once out of office, hopefully the late staffer’s family will sue for damages, so he can be financially bankrupt too.

2. Why hasn't he been indicted? Arrested? Three obvious reasons...

it's Texas, House is controlled by GOP who care only about winning, and Trump controls the DOJ.

3. From the party that gave us Nixon,,,,,

Reagan, the Bushes, and EptRumpstein, would you expect anything else? Their only use for altar boys is, well, you can guess......

4. I frequently...

... characterize der Republican Party has having metastasized into a terrorist organization. The very existence of ICE proves that beyond the remotest shadow of a doubt. They can be legitimately categorized as a malignant cancer.

5. They've accomplished 1 thing

A huge transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthiest (mostly Americans). That's basically it.

And that's all they wanted.

6. It's all about power, no morals, no principles, just power.

I'm no lawyer, but I don't think that driving someone to suicide is part of the criminal code. It could be there's no proof that would stand up in court.

Or it could be that the DOJ is just a corrupt cesspool of villains who don't care about women being abused.

Wow. This hits. Well said.

9. With a few notable exceptions, all they care about is power, and they will do anything to get it and keep it.
