No accountability, no Rule of Law....hell, no law. Retroactively immunizing themselves and their accomplices from any consequences of their illegal acts, pardoning those who are caught. Creating private armies to subvert Congress's powers while blatantly flipping off any who issue subpoenas.
Directly defying the will of Congress.
Directly defying the Will of The People.
Threatening World War Three.
Joking about staying in power
And when will the only body with the power to stop them.....stop them?
The Bush 'administration' and the Republican 'government' is run amok.
They are using politics to defend their ideology, they care not for the consequences of their actions which are dictated solely by a belief system. Their failed belief system. A belief system that has failed the whole world and plunged it into chaos and war.
This is not politics as usual, this a form of madness born from an illusion of how a few people WISH the world was....wedded to an entirely amoral use of power to eliminate any constraints on their cronies and business partners growing obscenely rich while children starve and die with no medical care.
Is Congress finally, after seven long years, waking up? Do they finally realize that this is not business, or even the dirty business of politics as usual? That there is something WRONG here?
Or is Dodd just a hero of the moment...and Pelosi merely mouthing platitudes to pacify The Base? Does Pete Stark really get it....and can he convince others? Is this the beginnings of pushback? Finally?
Our treasury looted, our blood spilt, our nation sold out from under us and our grandchildren in debt to China and the Saudis, all in order to facilitate the greed of a tiny minority, all to a failed and ridiculous ideology, all to foster and maintain the illusion of white Christian superiority, all to profit the very few at the expense of the whole world.
Who KNOWS what they will do in the year and change they have left.
The Republicans have run amok.
The Democrats in Congress have the power to stop them.
Will they wake up in time?
