Republicans want Trump to be a dictator. They're not going to stop him.

So he has a lot of bad days ahead.

I don't think Moscow Mitch will do that, even though there may be a few Rs who are sick of his crap.

It would be nice, though!

They're tied to that bloated orange ass for life.

Alea iacta est. They're in the same position that Slim Pickens' Major Kong was in at the conclusion of Dr. Strangelove. No choice but to ride that bomb right down to the ground. Might as well whoop and holler and wave your hat around.

Do you really believe the Republicans think Trump has done anything wrong?!

Pardon me, kentuck. I read your posts every day with interest and respect even though we're often of differing hues and perspectives.

In about an hour, when you see the vote tally after the so-called conviction vote, you'll know that the entirety of the Republican party stands behind Trump. Romney is an anomaly. Collins and Murkowski are almost anomalies. The Party will stand together.

Stupidly, a couple of Democrats might go along with an acquittal vote. Their re-elections prospects should be nonexistent.

Republicans have divorced themselves from any principles that the serious conservatives espoused. They are one of the following and I invite you to take your pick:

- Cult
- Religion
- Tribe
- Counter-Insurgency fueled from another nation
- Interior coup
- Idiocy

Don't count on any Republicans to buck up against McConnell. He told us from the beginning that he was going to cover for Trump.

Why would you expect anything else?

Revelation 13:5

The beast was allowed to speak arrogant and blasphemous things, and it was given authority for 42 months.

His Lardass would take do what is his nature...hit back (as he said himself, 10 times harder). He would defy them and dare them to do it.

but I do expect him to start having his political enemies "disappeared". Bill Barr will be happy to arrange that.
