He's just got a few more functioning braincells. We shall try to vote them both out, but you know republicans have been busy interfering with elections as much as possible. And I'm afraid there's no guarantee Trump will leave even if he does lose. He's got that emperor for life mentality and republicans in congress have already sold their souls. But when we do get them out, we can't ever let them forget that they betrayed their country and the people they were supposed to represent. We have to make sure that they can never get away with rewriting the narrative. I don't care if McConnell lives to be 120, there should never ever be a day for the rest of his life when someone doesn't scream a list of his sins into his ear. None of them can ever be allowed to forget that they shamed their country. And that goes for the lowliest of his supporters. <br />McAlvienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-55060025296777727582020-02-19T14:34:32.492-08:002020-02-19T14:34:32.492-08:00Dear Mr ex-President,

It is believed that President Nixon once referred to the holiday as President's Day. The Press picked up on that and thus it morphed into being called President's Day. However, it is still legally known as George Washington's Birthday. Or as I refer to it, the only government holiday that is never celebrated on the right day: February 22.<br />Ken Dudley<br />Ken Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162813374129544596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-74351995592670921902020-02-18T02:54:51.968-08:002020-02-18T02:54:51.968-08:00"And now I'm off to the theatre with my w..."And now I'm off to the theatre with my wife.

I'd also love to see his reaction to the morons who continue to fly Confederate flags (all while going on about how oh-so-patriotic they are, no less!). That would make his head explode, I'd imagine.<br /><br /><i>To what end, so you don't lose your cushy job serving the public? You've LOST that job. You've FAILED your responsibilities.</i><br /><br />This. That's what the GOP can't seem to understand. They're at potential risk of losing their jobs either way-if they had convicted him, Trump supporters may have voted them out, and since they've acquitted him, those of us who are horrified by that will try and vote them out, too. If I'm going to lose my job, I'd rather it be because I tried to do the right thing rather than because I attempted to protect a craven criminal and his cronies. But apparently integrity doesn't mean squat to the GOP anymore, so... <br /><br />At least we now know for sure where they stand, so yes, God willing they'll get the message of how we feel about their actions loud and clear come November. I want this election to be THE most <i>humiliating</i> defeat the GOP has seen in ages, to the point where they have only two choices going forward: lick their wounds and rebuild their party to something that's actually respectable, or go the way of the Whigs, and, as this blog post rightly notes, become the laughingstock of history alongside all the other stupid people who've com and gone throughout the centuries. Their choice.
