Thoughts on today's hearing with regard to the Republicans

Jaysus H. Christ on Pogo stick. What a fucking shitshow. I mean really.

I am absolutely baffled by the lack of self awareness of these fucking people. And I use that term very lightly indeed. The sheer tonnage of hypocrisy on display today should be enough to crush the great fucking pyramids. I can't for the life of me understand how it's even possible.

For these people to even hint at "the people's business" and doing "for the american people" after what? Seven investigations into Benghazi? After their own Minority Leader admitted the partisan chicanery these investigations were about? At how many millions of tax payer dollars? Wow. Wow. Jesusfuckmewithatuba this is insane. Again, I'm baffled at how these fucking FOX news, programmable meat bags are able to look in the mirror. And to make the claim that this fucking douchebag is a liar, when the guy they're trying to defend has been documented as lying +8000 times in 2 years? Holy shit, man!

The brain trust of this party has been replaced with a fucking hemorrhoid pillow. Seriously. I'm beginning to think the Republican House leadership may have been the guys in the Geico caveman commercials. I mean, yeah this shit will play with the base. But the base is a collection of proselytized, indoctrinated morons. And that's all these GOP Trump-lickers are paying attention to. They obviously forgot the third (or more) of voters that claim to be independent. It's amazing to watch these scumbags operate in the bubble that only holds a third of the country. They're like two year old's who hold their hands over their eyes and think no one can see them. I'm fucking revolted by what I saw today. The party that claimed we had to investigate a President for a blowjob because it's so fucking unseemly. So fucking tasteless. And so fucking lacking in character that it rose to the level of impeachment, couldn't be bothered to asl question one about their guy raw dogging porn stars.

Don't get me wrong, as a fellow human being, I can't say that I'm not guilty of being a hypocrite from time to time. Part of the human condition. I get it. But goddamn, man! This is Hitler calling Pol Pot a murderer level hypocrisy.

Perhaps I should blame my parents. Had they taught me truth is an inconvenience if you're negatively affected, I might be a millionaire. Alas, I was raised to stand by my words. And to admit when I'm wrong. Shame on them, right?

None. So they can lie about everything with no problem. And they do.

Doesn't that show they are socially aware?

You could see them literally licking their chops when it was their turn to speak. I hope when all of this collapses on them and there is no way to avoid the TRUTH, that they are haunted relentlessly by any part they have played and continue to play in this nightmare. And then locked up for their role in trying to take the democracy apart. See who is self righteous then.

Their base thinks their beliefs are just as important as facts. It's no surprise to me that they would ifnore criminal facts since they deny science, have reduced economics and budgets to tax cuts for the rich, and claim to be direct representatives of the sky god. They have no choice but to stay in character. The scary part to me is that some of them may be dumb enough to believe their own rhetoric.

I feel your astonishment, and, I, too, wonder what kind of alternate universe these delusional Republicans live in.

I’m beginning to believe that, they all know trump is crazy, and hopelessly corrupt, but they don’t care. His base still stands by him because he’s a racist like they are and he pisses off liberals.

My question is, why aren’t decent Republicans doing more to put a stop to this hideous cancer? I’m sure there have to be SOME out there. My own state’s senator, Rob Portman, is one. They just continue to mumble about being “concerned” or “troubled “ or some other lame thing. I want to scream at them to WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING! How can they continue to stand there and let this shit show disgrace the American people?? It’s truly mind boggling!

Threatening others who testify like they are doing to Cohen with perjury charges is obstruction of justice, and should be investigated if they were told to do this. A conspiracy to accomplish this for trump, sure looks like it is. These aren't Republicans , these are fascists , and corrupt people who back murders, molesters, and career criminals over the American people. They've become a hate group, and a party who can't accept the rule of law, unless its applied to Democrats. Sickening to watch these people now in OUR government.
