So much for the party that believes in federalism, hates activist judges and, now, endorses states rights. They all advocated using the judiciary to overturn election results in states that displeased them.
They believe only in loyalty to Trump. Not a single person listed above is loyal to the United States of America. They have all taken a massive dump on the Constitution and, by so doing, have betrayed their oath of office. Every one of them, if they had even an ounce of personal integrity, should resign their offices. They are all seditious losers, who deserve to be shunned by true patriots.
I am confident that history will judge them poorly. But hell, I'm not waiting around for that.
So, if you agree, do your part to ensure that their bout of sedition is remembered.
You left out 74 million other names.
ReplyDeleteI am going to presume that at least some of them are still loyal to the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteNope the constitution is there only if you agree with it. In this case they say constitutionally they "won". And here in the Badger state the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. No bets on how they rule. He still hasn't played the trump card. The final solution so to speak. When he orders the arrest of every elected democratic member of congress, every governor, every judge who ruled against him. Then he'll let the people judge. Nah even he wouldn't do that would he? No once the electoral college certifies its over, nope. As far as holding "them"accountable, miss Lindsey gets reelected, Mitch gets reelected, Purdue and Loeffler get elected, They'll never be held accountable for enabling this buffoon. The ones who break my heart are Crenshaw and Cotton. At least they have real Pedigrees. I know Cotton is batshit crazy but I had hope for Crenshaw. I can't wait to see what he does next. Like the head cheerleader at work says "the president is a fucking genius, he's got em all right in the spotlight now. Even the fucking Supreme Court fell into the trap". Maybe at the next superspreader event he holds up the constitution and lights it on fire and says I'm the constitution now!!! And the crowd roars 4 more years 4 more years
ReplyDeleteInteresting variation on Godwin's Algorithm (which really needs a rewrite, it is way out of touch): as more and more of these cretins attend more and more of these superspreader events and the lesser and lesser these exclusive kick-it-in-the-ass cocktails for the wealthy and well-placed are available the greater the likelihood one of these wealthy and well-placed are going to catch the trump-bug ... and die. Kick the bucket, roll it over, buy the farm. Push up a few daisies. Make Peace with St. Peter.
ReplyDeleteLet 'em have their fun. Am reminded of a joke my rogue Mennonite grandfather was fond of telling, of a midnight kitchen encounter twixt a Quaker and burglar: Quaker said “I wouldn’t think of harming thee, friend, but ye standith where I am about to shoot!” Everyone who is actively trying not to catch the Trump-Virus is as squared away as can be: masked-up, locked-down 🎶 I’ve got dishwater fingers! There just isn’t much else that can be done to protect ourselves and those around us. The odds are in our favor. Let ’em have their little covid-parties, catch the bug. Yes, yes yes yes, they have much better healthcare than the rest of us, but they’re still gonna’ get really sick.
Really, really sick. Some will die.
It is what it is.
I don't think they are as loyal to Fergus as they are terrified of his idiot hordes, who still comprise a majority of the Republican primary electorate.
ReplyDeleteRemember, they were all warned beforehand that Fergus was noting who supported it and who wasn't, mob boss threat style.
They should still be made to own their behavior.
Burn the lifeboats.

That list will live forever, they will be know as the the corps of
ReplyDeleteseditious traitors.
They are supposed to know better.
The other 74,000,000, no one is forcing them to be part of a
cult. I suspect many will leave once the fog clears.
Eck!
This was a most worthwhile effort. Appreciates.
