This is true, especially when they include Ken Paxton in the fray.

Oh my gosh, ever since William Bennett and Oliver North and Rush Limbaugh we have been getting beaten over the head with hypocrisy and exceptionalism. It's nauseating now.

"Ethical, and Standards" are the two most oxymoronic words in the Drumpfian (and by extension Rethuglican) lexicon.

Great article. People should really read the Constitution at least once a year. That would make enforcing it easier, especially the part that says involvement in an insurrection disqualifies a person from the presidency. And vote in every election.

Right. Technically, Demented Don is not the president. He is automatically disqualified. And it could not be clearer - he aided and abetted convicted insurrectionists by pardoning or commuting their sentences. No further arguments. Case closed.

I think unfortunately he is president, but only because so many people stayed home on election day last time because of all the "noise" surrounding the Harris campaign. People need to realize not voting is not without consequence, and perhaps voting for a candidate you mostly agree with is probably better than not voting at all, and winding up with our current situation.

Are/can they win in the general? That's the only question that matters!

Selective outrage has definitely become normalized by Trumplicans. Imagine if Obama or Biden had done a tenth of what this current administration is doing. As long as the 'right' side is doing it, it's okay by them.

I think people are traumatized, flabbergasted and stunted by the extent these criminals are going. When you live in a country where you thought you were supported and valued and find out every system that was protecting you and your rights is on the daily being destroyed. Rule of law is no more. The highest court corrupted. The few people on the supreme court are outvoted by the corrupt.

The people in charge become the enemies and not the protectors. Robbing us blind!

People are waking up but, to do what? There are hundreds of law suits filed against these people. If the bodies of government have no oversight, what the heck do we do?

We will not survive in this oligarchy. It’s alive and active right now. Oppression and corruption cannot stand. We must find a way to save what resemblance of a democracy we had. Thank you, for your commitment to bringing the people truth and facts. Be safe.💜

I don’t think republicans even notice that Republicans have no rules to follow whereas democrats have their feet held to the fire. They are also very loyal to being Republican that they are too blind to see the unfairness and discrepancies.

The Republican party is now the party of Lawlessness and Disorder.

Deranged Don loves any crime that is committed in an attempt to help him or if the criminal is rich enough to buy a pardon or if they can funnel at least a few million into the royal orange crime family’s “businesses”.
