REMINDER: Trump isnt teflon. Republicans are complicit.

[kpete]

In his inaugural address, President Trump thundered about “this American carnage” laying waste to the nation. One year later, his dystopian description is more apt for his administration. Three hundred and sixty-five days of sustained destruction of every norm and custom that made the United States the envy of the world and its president a global leader who commanded respect.

Last week, a friend of mine from New York marveled in exasperation at Trump’s ability to avoid being held accountable for laying waste to everything we thought we knew was acceptable or appropriate or legal. With eyes wide and mouth agape, he said, “He’s Teflon!” It was in that moment that I realized that my friend’s assessment was off. Trump isn’t Teflon. Republicans are complicit. By their silence or active participation, they are allowing an unaccountable Republican president to lay waste to America. This government #TrumpShutdown is simply a new form of their complicity.

1. In truth, Democrats are going after the wrong target, Trump is only deflecting attention away

from the collusion of the Republican party, who theoretically should know better. I want to see the attack taken to them for their treason rather than being sidetracked by a 6 year old.

2. They OWN everything Trump does!

Their unwillingness to investigate, their obstructionary, moves, and their collective silence tells you everything you need to know about who these people are.

I said early it on, if the Republicans are given rock solid proof of treason, they will yawn and say, "no crimes; time to move forward.

3. Hang Trump around the neck of every Republican running for office this year.

4. An important reminder indeed

As far as I am concerned, the Republicans in Congress are as bad or worse than Trump.
