our Congress looks incredibly small and insignificant compared to . . . |
|
the Congress of the Watergate era . . . though Nixon's offenses were FAR less than BushCo's, those representatives and senators (including Republicans) stood up to "preserve and protect the Constitution" -- as they all were sworn to do . . . they put country ahead of party -- and fawning obeisance to "The Leader" . . .
Congress should be deeply and profoundly ashamed of themselves for clicking their heels, saluting, and then trashing the very foundation of our democracy . . . instead, they're oblivious to what they're doing . . . just as long as those campaign contributions keep coming in, those salaries get COLAs each year, and all the perks -- legal, quasi-legal, and illegal -- keep keep on a-growin' . . .
many of these people quite simply have no conscience . . . they call themselves Christians, yet they've have lost their fundamental humanity . . . to the extent that treason, torture, war crimes, and crimes against humanity are all perfectly acceptable policies -- just as long as "I keep gettin' mine!" . . .
just a sleazy bunch of amoral motherfuckers who should all be arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned . . . for a long, long time . . .

1. The mysterious power this incompetent administration |
|
wields over Congress and the media is incomprehensible. At times like these I truly wonder whether there is some sort of direct intimidation or coercion at work.

2. No doubt the worst in US history. |
|
There really isn't anyway to debate that intelligently. They are technically outlaws. They have moved against the constitution.
