They don't believe in oversight, unless it is Democrats they are over-seeing.
Trump can fire all the IG's he wants and it makes no never-mind to them.
He can lie his ass off about Joe Biden and Barack Obama and they have nothing to say about it.
He can lie about the cupboard being bare and they are silent.
He can dispute the W.H.O. and the CDC on the coronavirus, and they are all OK with that.
Republicans are pretty much useless.

To the rest of us, they are surely of no value.

(17,938 posts)getting elected, reelected and retaining power. The country, the American people, the Constitution, democracy be damned. They don't give two shits about any of that. Ain't no money in it. That applies to loathsome creatures like McConnell, Cornyn, crazy Gohmert all the way to the concern trolls like Collins and Murkowski. They all don't give a shit about anything but power and cash. If they did, they would have kicked Donnie to the curb last Fall.

(12,712 posts)There real constituents would disagree about how useful they are. They are golden retrievers and worth a lot by way of keeping the gushing upwards gushing and keeping us in check.
They help keep the Wealth Hoover sucking away as it vacuums the wealth into the coffers. We are the wealth creators, they are the wealth usurpers, enjoyers, keepers.
That's their job: acquire and keep, crack the whip and talk about the dignity of work for the plebs. Wear a family values suit and toss out wedge issues. Project, deflect and distract to defend the vested interests. The armor of industry.

(383 posts)where my professor asked everyone on day one to write on a card what is the greatest threat to the planet?... He then read a card everyday throughout the semester to strike conversation. Most of my fellow students put global warming, or, pollution, or, nuclear war. Things like that. I wrote, Lets get down to brass tacks here.... Republicans are the greatest threat to the planet.
Needless to say, I got an A in that class. The professor was a total hippie.
