Oh FFS, GOP


Senator Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota Republican, claimed this week that members of Congress are opposing President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration because they “dislike” the president. It’s a well-worn talking point we hear on a daily basis, as though Trump is some poor third grader who regularly gets beat-up in the schoolyard for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

I really don’t understand why you Republicans don’t get the bleedin’ obvious. So let me help you out.

Most people tend to dislike a so-called “pResident” whose every statement is a lie, who fabricates statistics and pulls “facts” out of his ass that are as self-serving as they are ludicrous, and who constantly accuses others of doing exactly what he does on a daily basis.

It’s an insult to their intelligence – and the only reason MAGAts accept this behaviour is because they don’t have enough intelligence to be insulted.

Decent people dislike anyone who brags about “grabbing pussies”, publicly mocks the disabled, and announces that Nazis and white supremacists are “very fine people”. The only people who support such a man are those who are just too fucking stupid to understand why such conduct is as unacceptable as it is reprehensible.

Patriots who love their country dislike a man who jeopardizes our standing in the global community by insulting our nation’s allies while embracing dictators like Putin and Kim Jung-Un, and has no problem dismissing our own intelligence community in order to side with our enemies. The only people who think this kind of conduct is a good thing are those who are incapable of thinking at all.

People with religious principles dislike a man who brazenly demonstrates his complete lack of morals by tearing traumatized children away from their parents, by demonizing anyone who is not white, and who pursues policies that ignore the homeless, the hungry, and the sick – the very people all religions admonish their adherents to protect.

The only people who applaud such actions are the hypocrites who, while holding themselves out as “good Christians”, are as equally devoid of morals themselves.

Patriots who respect our country, its institutions, its laws, and the foundation of our democracy dislike a “pResident” who consistently undermines the things that ensure that democracy – like a free press, and the power of congress to hold anyone and everyone accountable for their actions.

The only people who stand with a man who seeks to destroy the underpinnings of democracy are those who don’t posses the intellectual capacity to understand just how dangerous such behaviour is.

Citizens who understand how our democratic process works are understandably appalled by the appointment of incompetent, inexperienced, and totally inept people to positions of power and influence.

The only people who believe putting a bunch of foxes in charge of our country’s henhouses is a great idea are those who believe Ivanka, Jared, and Don Junior somehow became experts overnight on the running of a nation, along with a sudden expertise on international affairs.

Americans who are rightfully concerned about the respect traditionally demonstrated by a president for the office he holds dislike a “pResident” who disgraces that office by using it to sell his brand-name, made-in-China merchandise in order to line his own pockets.

Ironically, many of the people who are ignoring this blatant self-serving conduct are people who once had good-paying jobs in US factories that produce branded hats, T-shirts, and other such paraphernalia.

The people who dislike Donald J. Trump don’t merely dislike him. They despise him, they detest him, and many downright hate him. And they have every reason to do so.

Those who continue to stand behind the lying, pussy-grabbing, Putin-fellating “pResident” are simply too dumb to realize that everything he’s done is the undoing of everything they claim to uphold.

And pretending that those of us disgusted by him and everything he stands for should be relegated to the status of “disliking” a traitor is demonstrative of just how clueless – and willfully ignorant – Republicans are
