Dont You Feel Like Damn Fools, GOP?

Because really, you should.

Donald Trump is a proven liar, an adulterer, a self-declared pussy-grabber who has openly boasted of sexually assaulting women. THIS is the man the “Christians” among you have continued to defend, and their leaders have declared to be “chosen by God”.

Donald Trump is a barely-literate, ill-informed idiot who has demonstrated, time and again, that he has no knowledge of the country’s workings, nor the workings of our relationships with our allies. THIS is the man you elected to lead the most powerful nation on earth, the man you insisted was a “brilliant businessman” who would dazzle us all with his intelligence.

Donald Trump is a lazy, do-nothing “pResident” who spends the majority of his time tweeting nonsense, watching TV, and golfing. THIS is the man you encouraged your party members to vote for because he would work tirelessly on their behalf.

Donald Trump cheated hard-working Americans out of their pay when they worked for him, had to settle a court case against him for cheating people out of their money with his phoney “university”, and still has every single product bearing his “brand” manufactured in low-wage countries. THIS is the man you told your constituents would put America first, and would bring jobs back to the US.

Donald Trump has persisted in distancing our nation from its allies, while openly praising our country’s enemies. He continues to pour gasoline on the volatile situations presented by North Korea and the Middle East. THIS is the man you held out as being able to save the nation from Obama’s “mismanagement” of our relationships with the global community.

Donald Trump has appointed inexperienced, incompetent cronies to positions of power and influence. THIS is the man you insisted would surround himself with “the best people” – many of whom are now under investigation and/or have had to resign in disgrace.

Donald Trump has accomplished nothing that betters the lives of Americans. He has not kept a single campaign promise – in fact, he has achieved absolutely nothing other than accusing his political rivals of doing what he himself has done, and calling for endless investigations into anyone who dares point out that your naked emperor has no clothes.

THIS is the man you have lied for, cheated for, even perjured yourselves for. THIS is the man you have abandoned your “Christian” principles for, who you have coddled and defended, who you have made endless excuses for, and whose abject idiocy, ignorance and blatant lies you have defended for over a year.

Ultimately, THIS is the man – the one under investigation for colluding with our enemies as evidence of his guilt mounts every day, whose lies are now the stuff of legend, whose mental competence is clearly questionable, whose buffoonery on the world stage has made our country the laughingstock of the world – that you have chosen to protect-and-defend, while failing to protect-and-defend the rights of your own fellow citizens, the freedoms the Constitution assures them, and the environment in which they live.

In light of all of the above – and much, much more – the obvious questions would be: “Are you not embarrassed by THIS MAN’s displays of incompetence, ignorance, and lies? Are you not totally humiliated by his displays of outright stupidity? Are you not concerned that an obviously mentally-unhinged madman has the nuclear codes at his disposal?”

But sadly, those questions have now been answered. While you busy yourselves trying to cover-up THIS MAN’s apparent incompetence, lies and deceit, your only real focus is trying to take affordable healthcare away from millions of Americans while giving tax breaks to the wealthy. While our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico are dying for lack of food, potable water and electricity, you busy yourselves with undoing the regulations that protect the food, water, and the infrastructure that all Americans depend upon.

The silver lining in all of this is the fact that THIS MAN – the one who you have risked your party’s reputation on – is going down. The evidence against him, his cronies, and his family members is already overwhelming – and it builds by the day. And make no mistake – your party is going down with him. Trump’s collusion with the Russians in order to subvert our democratic elections is becoming crystal clear – and by covering for him, your own complicity is being exposed for what it is.

But by all means, keep on keeping’ on. Keep pretending that your Idiot-in-Chief – the one who handed over classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office – is above reproach. Keep insisting – despite last Tuesday’s election results – that the jerk-off you stand behind is beloved by a nation. Keep telling yourselves that when the shit hits the fan, you will somehow be immune from the storm of feces that is about to be splattered all over your party.

Say what you will about the Democrats – anything you want. Go to it – do your worst. We can handle it – and that’s because it’s YOUR MAN who is drowning in the worst scandal the country has ever seen. We’re just the people standing on the shore, laughing our asses off and thanking whatever deities we believe in, while you sink beneath the waves of your own dishonesty, stupidity, and oh-so-obvious hypocrisy.

They're button less. All they do all day is push our buttons, and that's how they get elected and ruined the country. We need to stop letting them push our buttons. We can't let the Limbaughs, Jonses, Cernoviches, Posobiecs, and all the other alt right dipshits of the world get to us. The more they make shit up about us, the more we need to counter their bullshit with facts. That's how we did it last week, and that's how we will kick their ass next year.

Trump could openly admit to being a Devil-worshipping foreign agent committed to bringing down the U.S. and perverting its children (young girls, anyway), and GOP voters would still swear up and down that he's a "loyal, God-fearing patriot - who's a great businessman besides!"

Because then the millions will keep flowing into the Republican coffers from the ugly rich.
Nothing else matters.

We have to stand firm until the contagion is defeated, hopefully sooner rather than later. The damage Trump is doing is deliberate. He will pull the biggest heist in history and we'll pay the tab.

when they impeached Clinton for not disclosing lurid details of personal sexual encounters. How many people brag about sexual activity in a public forum? They're just weirdos and strangers to themselves.

who boasted about it at first. After a few years they shut up and stopped telling everyone who they voted for.

I bet the same thing happens with Trump. In a few years no one will admit to voting for him.
