On The Rachel Maddow Show last night as I was listening Doc Maddow read an excerpt from the book A Warning by Anonymous I thought about a warning that President Barack Obama gave the American People in his usual “No Drama” style:
Yes, I think the Republican nominee is unfit...He does not appear to have basic knowledge around critical issues...he is woefully unprepared to do the job…
In the introduction I think that Anonymous states exactly what President Obama was talking about:
No kidding. It’s pretty self evident that the man child exhibits these traits, he tweets them out like clockwork. Which brings forth the next question:
So why did you stay. Well Mr. A says they did it out of patriotism and loyalty to the Government:
Maybe? Are you kidding? In my IMHO, I call Bravo Sierra, you did it because you lacked the courage of your convictions. Now I am not faulting you for that, only a few of us are as brave as LTC Vindman. Courage is a difficult thing to have, especially if it cost you your career. But a little honesty would be nice.
If you really felt sincere concern about the Country Mr. A, you and all the others would have resigned immediately the first time Don the Con ordered you to do something crazy. You would not have spent the last 3 years propping up and enabling a worthless incompetent fool who should only be inside the White house as a tourist. And yes maybe the Country would have suffered in the short term, but the long term effect is the most horrible of all: You normalized the Bon of a Sitch.
Republicans say that Trump’s quid pro quos were normal. Here’s why they’re wrong.
The body of existing testimony shows how Trump has crossed the line
Republican pundit Ben Shapiro has argued that...There was a quid pro quo. The question is whether it was a corrupt quid pro quo... Quid pro quos in foreign policy happen all the time.”
Political history makes it clear that the claims that Republicans are now making are factually incorrect. The kind of quid pro quo that Trump apparently requested is not the kind of quid pro quo that is typical of previous presidential administrations, because it had nothing to do with American national interests but rather the president’s personal gain.
So here we are 3 years later, and a helluva lot of the people in United States (and
the media) see the Con Man as just another politician no better or worse then his predecessor, just different. Great.
