The Republican Party has long done away with any semblance of civility. Every action taken, from fanatical gerrymandering to hijacking the Supreme Court, exposes them for the small-minded power brokers that they are. The current white supremacist in chief is corrupt. He was corrupt for decades, long before he ever ran for office. He ran a corrupt and treasonous campaign while he ran for office. And now that he is in the White House he has continued to promote corrupt practices, which are far too numerous to account for here. When the current Ukraine scandal became the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, Republicans remained silent. The question became: What angle should they take now that things were going to get serious? With news that Vice President Mike Pence is also seriously implicated in the current shenanigans, the RNC machine has gone into chicken-with-its-head-cut-off mode.
