Laughable comparisons

Sun., Dec. 22, 2019

For all the bluster and hyperbole of the Republicans in the House of Representatives yesterday, you would suspect they had never had a civics lesson in their life.

The hypocrisy of their howls of discontent were almost laughable - comparing Donald Trump to Jesus? Really? Comparing impeachment to the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Have the Republicans lost their minds?

Talk about desperately grasping at straws for the approval of their Demi-God Trump….childish at best, unpatriotic at worst. Refusal to accept the facts does not change them. Refusal to cooperate with impeachment does not change the history books that will be written with an asterisk of shame next to Trump’s name.
