Not every picture is worth 1,000 words, but the image included in the latest Department of Justice filing, showing highly classified documents scattered over the floor at Mar-a-Lago, should be good for for at least 10 to 20 at Leavenworth. Of course, not everyone sees it that way. Viewed through the secret MAGA filter available only to those who have replaced their love of country, family, and justice with an icon of Trump on his golden throne, all signs of Trump-related crime are invisible.
How else to explain this?
The head of the Republican House Judiciary would be Jim Jordan. Which seems to beg the question: Did he employee this ability to ignore the things he didn’t want to see back at Ohio State?
It’s hard to tell exactly what tune the Republicans are whistling past the graveyard, and it’s hard to hear it in any case, considering all the laughter directed at this tweet.
And then there was this related reply, which seems even more hilarious than all the rest.
This seems like the point where sensible people are quiet. Where they start backing away. Where they check the nearest closet to see if maybe, just perhaps, they have a 20-foot-pole that they’ve forgotten to deploy in the past. But then, the people here are Jim Jordan and Donald Trump. So “sensible” isn’t a factor.
It’s hard to say which of these tweets is more ridiculous or more pathetic. What’s clear is that the Republican Party has followed Donald Trump over a cliff. And they’re going to keep denying it, all the way to the ground.
Sign if you agree: No one is above the law.
Donald Trump and his MAGA allies came close to overthrowing our democracy on January 6, and they will try again if they win in 2022. The best thing you can do is to help get out the Democratic vote for the midterms, and we need everyone to do what they can. Click here to find all the volunteer opportunities available.
