Nine years ago, the first members of a new and extreme branch of the GOP were elected thanks to the financial support of billionaires; primarily the Koch brothers. These extremists included Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and others. They constantly screamed about “government spending.” Although they voted against any bill which would raise the quality of life for the majority, they supported any legislation benefitting the super-rich. They are one of the primary reasons our government is dysfunctional. Their refusal to deliberate and compromise is un-American.

Many politicos are claiming that under Trump’s chaotic “leadership” the TEA Party is now dead. This extremist group along with the Freedom Caucus continues to scream about spending unless it’s by their fuhrer or for their owners.

Trump and his Klan waste $16 million of taxpayer money each month to live lives of billionaires.

 Trump’s “tax reform” has been confirmed as a gift to the wealthy and corporations. The result is the addition of another trillion dollars to the national deficit. (For those of you who cannot imagine how much money one-trillion dollars is, simply realize that that figure is 1,000 billion dollars). Not a single member of either of these extremist parties has complained about Trump’s enormous waste; the biggest in history.

To call Republicans hypocrites is too kind. They have ignored the American people for the last two-and-one-half years and served the man they called “racist,” “unqualified,” “unfit,” and a “disgrace to America” prior to his illegitimate victory from the Electoral College. Today these same failed politicians bow to their fuhrer’s every unconstitutional demand.

Since 2000 the entire Republican Party has been non-existent. The once Grand Old Party is now nothing more than a group of old, white opportunists. They refuse to represent the needs and wishes of the great majority of all Americans. Time for them to go home. November 3, 2020 is coming soon.

The truth lives here. Tell everyone about my blog; we all deserve the truth.
