When, when, WHEN are we going to realize that we are at WAR?
We cannot continue to expect the Republicans to EVER respect either the process or us. They HATE us and they want us destroyed.
Corey Lewandowski, a vicious, smirking right wing PUNK was allowed today to insult the Democratic members of the House Judiciary committee. He lied. He stonewalled. He exhibited utter contempt. (I am going off of reports from numerous sources.) This was the same PUNK who in 2018 swore at Democrats investigating Trump’s treason by saying.
I'm not answering your fucking question.
And this is the same PUNK who was allowed to make a farce out of today’s hearings.
We didn’t even hold him in contempt.
Rick Wilson, the apostate Republican who has become a fierce opponent of Trump, saw it all too well:
The hearing was a political test, and the House Democrats failed it. They’re shudderingly terrible at this work; they lack the bloodthirsty instincts of political killers. Trump and the House GOP are playing nuclear hardball, and the House Democrats were playing the old normie politics of the days before social media, reality television, and the Insane Clown President.
Centrally, Lewandowski continued to hide behind a phony privilege claim even after it was clearly established the claim was invalid, and Democrats seemed content to let him. His eye-rolling, snippy responses and insults received nothing more than sour looks. Without consequences, people like Corey will always win, and in the nastiest way possible…
...there it was, for hours on end. First, taking the contempt, abuse, and lying showed how weak the Democrats were. More importantly, egos of the member of the committee the Democrats came before an effective investigatory function; they should have used professional legal staffers who know what they’re doing to hammer Lewandowski. Instead, it was the usual herd of cats.
It’s not about Corey. It’s about the total inability of the House majority to get down to nut-cutting. It’s about the only line of defense in a threatened democracy being manned by a group of people who don’t understand that until you cause Trump’s minions actual pain, with penalties and consequences, they will act with impunity. They know the rules of the show, and Democrats don’t.
Damn straight. DAMN straight. We are up against people who want a RIGHT WING DICTATORSHIP. The so-called “president” claims Article II of the Constitution allows him to do anything he wants. Our criminal Attorney General asserts that the all-powerful president can destroy any investigation he doesn’t like. The Fox “News” propagandists who dominate their night time programming lie about us, throw every hateful smear at us incessantly, and put out worshipful Trump propaganda so nauseating it would make a North Korean propagandist cringe.
And we let Corey Lewandowski throw excrement in our faces.
And we didn’t even cite the son of a bitch for contempt.
When are we going to realize the Republicans don’t see us as the opposition?
They see us as the enemy.
