The Republican Party Has Drowned Itself in Trumpism. LyinComey.com Proves It.
The Republican National Committee is throwing schoolyard insults at the former FBI director.
BY JACK HOLMES APR 12, 2018

President Trump is the little push that sent an already-deteriorating Republican Party plunging into full-blown madness. There are signs of this every day, from the congressman who runs away from reporters at the Capitol yelling, "Fake News!" to the activities of International Man of Stupidity Devin Nunes.

But Thursday brought a true milestone in the party's descent into lunacy, as CNN revealed Trump's allies have drawn up "battle plans" ahead of the release of former FBI Director James Comey's book next week. Part of that plan is a website, "LyinComey.com," established in an effort to discredit him...

That's right: This plan to drag the former FBI director's name through the mud with schoolyard insults will be overseen not by Nunes or some other fringe Trump toady, but by the Republican National Committee—the party's central apparatus. This quintessentially Trumpian strategy has the express approval of the Party Establishment, because the party is Trump. There is nothing else. In fact, the RNC seems downright giddy about the whole thing.

And rumored of their demise are greatly exaggerated. This is from someone who dearly wants them crushed out of existence as a party and ideology.

Its the lyin hypocrisy that really gets me.

Like the budget busting tax cut for billionaires that was sold as helping out the avarege working American, what a crock of shit!

And the fake Christians that lay hands on and pray for Dump who has lived his life in total opposition to everything they claim to believe in!
