It seems that the Republican Party is in a self-destruct mode right now, with both Trump & Lindsey Graham coming out & attacking Mitch McConnell yesterday for refusing to increase the stimulus checks from a paltry $600 to a somewhat reasonable $2000.
Lindsay Graham slammed Mitch McConnell for delaying $2,000 stimulus payments: 'Going from $600 to $2,000 doesn't make you a socialist' (yahoo.com)
Then Trump Tweeted out that the Georgia Senatorial election would be/is fraudulent, supporting those two mad lawyers Sidney Powell & Lin Wood and essentially telling his supporters not to bother to vote, stay at home.
Fucking excellent, keep it up
I'm loving it
In Canada former prime minister John Turner called parliamentary debates "bullshit theater", I think the same might be true of Lindsey and all republicans. Lindsey is a narcissist, he wants his senate power and limelight as much as Mitch, if they lose the senate Lindsey becomes a nobody. After Jan 6th he will have one of his frequent fast attitude adjustments and by Jan 20th the transformation will be complete, Donald who? Lindsey and Mitch have 6 years for the base to forget Donald, Mitch won't be running again then, but Lindsey should be.
Defeat them this year in Georgia and you can do much more damage to them in 2022, provided the democrats govern skillfully. The number one priority must be covid, but the secondary one has to be their destruction as a federal political force by whatever legal and constitutional means are available, no second chances for treason. These people stopped playing politics and started playing social/political war long ago, it just became blindingly obvious with Trump. War they have waged and war they shall have, divide and scatter them into the political wilderness.
They tried their best to give you Trump again and for more than 4 years too, until the fucker died. 74 Million Americans voted for national suicide, most were bigots brainwashed and radicalized by domestic disinformation. This is not just a real and present danger, it is an existential threat and must be dealt with, if you win the senate. A house divided cannot stand and there cannot be two realities, the truth should not compete with lies, it deserves more respect. People have a fundamental human right to the truth, in a liberal democracy it is essential. The quality of our decisions is dependent on the information we have to work with. Deception and disinformation are tactics of war, not politics, politicians lie, but journalist traditionally held them to account and mitigate their falsehoods, not amplify them as a segment of the media does now and has for sometime.
