Rule of Law..Rule of Law..Rule of Law

Do you remember hearing that from republicans over and over and over and over and over and over again during Whitewater and Monica?

OK, so they found nothing at all, zip, illegal or inappropriate in Whitewater and had to create a situation where they knew they could probably get him to lie about a blowjob.

I know that is twice today I have brought it up and I am NOT trying to bring it up to harm him, I am trying to make the point of hypocrisy on the right.

When the Rule of Law benefits them, they wont shut up about it, even if the law broken was lying about sex and NOTHING else.

When the Rule of Law doesnt fit into their agenda or their defense of Rump, they ignore it like it never existed.

You all do know what separates us from the rest, right? THE RULE OF LAW

We don't say THE RULE OF LAW just to give it lip service. We damn sure mean it.

They hold themselves out as all law and order, but look who's mercilessly denigrating the FBI and the DOJ right now?

Those fascist hypocrite a-hole Republicans. That's who.

been allowed to win the election she won.

The patriot and pissed off in me wants the showdown, which I think is inevitable. If rump goes down as any democrat would in the same situation, they are gonna react violently, the only question is how many and how many police will support them.

I take that showdown part back, what I want is JUSTICE. But it may get messy.
