Republicans Confirm Their Loyalty is To Trump And Not To America

If you ever hear a Republican claiming to love America again, point to the year 2020 as evidence of how much they loathe everything about this country. From the people to the institutions, Republicans have spit on everything this country is supposed to be this year, up to and including yesterday, when more than 100 Republican members of the House signed onto a brief supporting the President's legal challenge to overturn election results in 4 states. There's a reason they are doing this, but its the dumbest reason imaginable. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

More than 100 Republican members of the us house of representatives, along with 17 additional, um, state attorney generals have now signed on to Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, his lawsuit, trying to overturn the election results of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, therefore, or thereby giving Donald Trump enough, 12 votes to get a second term. All of them, these individuals know that this lawsuit is designed to fail. They're also very much aware of the fact that Ken Paxton filed this lawsuit because he is likely going to need a presidential pardon? Dude's involved in a pretty big scandal down there in Texas. That threatens to not only end his career, but end his freedom by sending him to jail. He wants a pardon. He's filed this ridiculous lawsuit to be like, Hey Trump, I'm on your side. Pardon me, please. Uh, we'll see if it happens. I'm sure it will. Nevertheless, 106 Republicans in the house of representatives signed onto a brief saying, yes, I support this. I support sedition because that's what, this is the attempt to overthrow the government's decision here or what the government is or what the government does.

That's weird. I mean, to say the least, right? We're looking at 106 Republicans who are serving as elected representatives saying I'm cool with overthrowing the constitution, no problems here because the constitution clearly says that each individual state is allowed to determine how their elections are conducted and how they choose their own electors. Texas cannot Sue Georgia. For that, I am surprised this lawsuit was even allowed to, you know, be filed. That's how stupid it is. And sure we have a right wing pact Supreme court. I still don't think for a second. They're going to say, okay, let's consent. No, they're not. They're not. So why like Trump's going out the door. He's not going to be empowered anymore. Why are these Republicans saying, Oh, I'm going to risk it all. You know, risk fricking sedition to put my name up there with yours because to these Republicans, Trump's not going away again.

They don't think obviously that he is going to get the second term, but they think he is going to remain the GOP King maker for the rest of his life show. If you want to can in Republican politics, you're going to have to go and kiss the ring of Donald Trump, which would represent a pretty massive shift in the Republican party. Because typically when Republican presidents leave office, they just disappear forever. You know, unless you show back up at some kind of event and you start handing candidate to Michelle Obama, nobody gives a crap. What you do. Most people are just glad that you're going

On. You know, all the

Former Republican presidents that have been alive in my lifetime

Done that, did they just go away? Trump's

Not going to do that. He is going to stay involved,

But here's the kicker on that.
