A Few Good Men
The GOP now finds itself in the unenviable position of having to continue to defend the indefensible - Donald J. Trump - a lying, self-serving, power-abusing madman whose corruption is being revealed on a daily basis, and whose crimes against the nation are about to be fully exposed via the January 6th Committee's public hearings.
The sudden cooperation with that Committee by Trump's inner circle does not represent a newly-discovered sense of patriotism - it is instead demonstrative of rats deserting a sinking ship.
The irony - and there has been no lack of irony when it comes to the actions of Republican powers-that-be during Trump's tenure in office and beyond - is that Trump's "base" of GOP voters has proven itself to be the most easily-led, the most easily-manipulated block of voters the nation has ever known.
Had a few good Republican men had the spine to say "enough is enough" during Trump's first impeachment, they would have been free of The Orange Anus - and could have framed their arguments in a way that persuaded the oh-so-easily-persuadable that extorting a vulnerable nation like Ukraine was NOT what the GOP was all about.
Had a few good Republican men had the spine to say "enough is enough" during Trump's second impeachment, they would have been seen as true patriots who put country above party.
But they didn't. They instead chose to again defend the indefensible, whine about a "stolen election" they have no evidence of, and cling to the notion that the easily-misled were incapable of being just as easily led to democratic ideas and ideals.
The shit is about to hit the fan - and the only reason GOPers have decided to cooperate with the January 6th investigative committee is a last-ditch effort to save their own political asses.
There is NO defense against fomenting an insurrection against the US government - and the Republicans who supported that insurrection are about to find out why.
