Let’s stop pretending. The mainstream media hides the truth from the American people and protects traitors and liars such as Trump, McConnell, Ryan, and every other Republican who continues to support their illegitimate president’s vile agenda.
This group in Washington are RINO’s; Republicans In Name Only. They have no principles; their only god is profit; they have become the enemy of the majority of the American People.
Republicans remain opposed to every issue supported by the majority. They serve their masters, the super rich, and ignore the majority of the American people.
It all began back in 1992. The Republican Party had their president in office for 12 years. But in November of 1992 the American people had the nerve to elect a Democrat. Bill Clinton, the Democratic Governor of Arkansas became America’s 42nd president. He was popular from day one, and a threat to the Grand Old Party’s plans for our nation’s backward slanted future.
Led by another Republican ‘criminal in office,’ Newt Gingrich, the right wing attempted to discredit Clinton, and have him removed from office. Clinton proved to be ‘bulletproof.’
In 2000, after two successful terms, Clinton’s Vice-President accepted the Democratic presidential nomination. Al Gore was intelligent, extremely qualified, and had no ‘skeletons in his closet.’
The Republican nominee was George W. Bush, the Governor of Texas. His father was the man Clinton defeated in 1992. George H.W. Bush had served as Ronald Reagan’s Vice-President for two terms, and became the 41st president in 1989. Other than executing an historic number of inmates during his time as Texas’ governor, this was his only qualification.
Republicans used a single strategy during the 2000 campaign. They attempted to discredit Gore and make him appear to be another Clinton. In the closest election in the history of the United States, Bush was given the presidency by the right wing dominated Supreme Court nearly two weeks after the election, as recounts had begun in Florida. This was the end of the Republican Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.
Extremists began to take control of Republican Politicians with the support of billionaires including the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson. A growing number of corporations and wealthy individuals began donating enormous sums of money to Republican candidates at all levels thanks to a bill passed by Republicans farcically named ‘Citizens United.’ This law was later upheld by the SCOTUS in 2010. This allowed unlimited dark money to be donated to Republican candidates.
GOP politicians survived through lies, misdirection, and fear tactics.
After two terms of failed leadership, lies, and multiple attacks on our Constitution, Bush left office and was replaced by Barrack Hussein Obama. Our nation was in an historical recession, and remained in two unwinnable and unnecessary wars. This really pissed off Republican Party leadership. A black man had been elected to the whitest nation in the developed world.
In 2010, the Koch brothers waged an all out campaign to insure that candidates who would support their wishes were elected. This was the beginning of the ‘TEA Party.’ These men and women promised to serve their benefactors; refuse to deliberate or compromise; and insure that the Republican Party moved much further to the right.
For eight long years President Obama struggled with the ‘party of no.’
The American people were increasingly disgusted with our government which had become completely dysfunctional. During all eight years of President Obama’s administration, they failed to pass a single piece of significant legislation.
In 2016 millions of angry, but uninformed voters, aided by Vladimir Putin and billionaire Robert Mercer, elected the worst candidate in American history. His lies and false promises were more egregious than any Republican candidate before him. He was proven to be without morals, and unfit to be the president, but he was gifted the presidency by the Electoral College.
In less than three decades, Republicans had became puppets of special interests and ignored the vast majority of real Americans.
Our nation now has the worst president in history soiling the White House sheets. Sadly, his failed and cowardly party has supported him without question for 15 months and two days.
Today, it was reported that an anonymous Republican Representative voiced his true opinion about Trump and his party’s future. I believe that he is not alone, but courage is not a synonym for ‘Republican.’
“I read you writing about this, about wanting to say nice things when you can and criticize when you need to. He may be an idiot, but he’s still the President and leader of my party and he is capable of doing some things right,” he says before conceding it’s usually other people doing the right things in the President’s name. “But dammit he’s taking us all down with him. We are well and truly f**ked in November. Kevin [McCarthy] is already circling like a green fly circling sh*t trying to take Paul’s [Ryan] job because nobody thinks he’s sticking around for Nancy [Pelosi]. She’s going to f**k up the cafeteria again too. [Lord’s name in vain], at least I’ll probably lose too and won’t have to put up with that sh*t.” He won’t lose. His district is very Republican.
“It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a f**king idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are b*tching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump. I listen to your podcast and heard you hate it too. What an overrated piece of sh*t movie. Can you believe it beat the Shawshank Redemption?”
He wasn’t finished his with his confession to his conservative blogger friend, Erik Erickson.
“I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.”
There you have it; the truth about how badly Republicans are failing you and your loved ones.
Trump is the worst man in America, but he could not succeed without his hypocritical party having control of both houses of congress. If they are sent home in November, we can take our country back; it belongs to us; not to a group of cowardly and self-serving politicians. November 6th is the day the revolution is scheduled to begin. Join us.
Please pass this on to everyone you know.
