The GOP hivemind keeps it doubling down on its biggest loser

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There’s a mental phenomenon known among gamblers as tilt. It’s a brain-hijacking that happens after an ego blow. Rather than taking a break, a gambler on tilt becomes absolutely convinced he should have won the hand or the slot-machine tug. He starts to risk greater and greater sums of money to offset shame, regain honor and prove he was right.

Don’t try to reason with a tilting brain. As a wild-eyed gambler’s losses compound, he won’t be stopped. Hit me, hit me, hit me.

This is the Republican Party right now.

On Wednesday, House Republicans voted to strip Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) of her role as chair of the House Republican Conference, the third-highest position in party leadership in the House.

When your enemy is self-destructing, stand aside.

3. I think what the republican party is doing is very un- American

In America we are not supposed to bow down to any one particular person. These people are so taken with Trump I believe they would literally install him as king if they had the chance. This over the top focus on Trump by republicans certainly can't be good for the republic. To me it's the type of thing Ben Franklin was warning about back in the day.

5. "To announce that there must be...

...No criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonous to the American public.”

-Teddy Roosevelt


-Bread and butter for fascists, traitors and seditionist scum, though.
