Well, it’s more than sad, more than disgusting, more than vile, more than malignant…..
but there it is: Donald Trump voluntarily standing with a murderer, Mohammed bin Salman, in exchange for a few billion in arms contracts (contracts, by the way, which will likely be used to cause even more Yemeni deaths). Oh, and not to mention who knows how much money personally funneled into Trump’s pockets.
While some might say we are all whores in that we sell ourselves in the marketplace of capitalism, most of us sell in socially acceptable ways. Even true prostitutes sell sex in an up front manner: nobody trying to fool anybody about what is going on.
But for me, I reserve the moniker of “whore” for someone who has made a morally bereft sell decision that has absolutely NO socially redeemable attributes. Donald Trump has just declared that we’re OK with murder as long as it isn’t him that is getting the ax (or bone saw) and enough dollars roll in. That’s my definition of a whore. And Mike Pompeo supports Donald Trump’s whoring.
When will Republicans find that sliver of humanity that we all hope yet remains in them and start the process to get rid of this abomination? Or have they too become whores?
