The Future Name Of The Republican Party: The Unindicted Co-conspirator Party



Yep. So said Paul “Crazy Eyes” Ryan, a man almost as ridiculous, sick, and bereft of a soul as Don the Con himself, as he launched the Republican Party’s “ignorance defense” of their Oh Great Leader’s actions regarding former FBI head James Comey. The thing is, the Republican defense instantly falls apart when you realize that, if Trump were indeed truly ignorant of laws and protocols, he would not have felt it necessary to clear the room of all but he and Comey when he wanted to have his now infamous little friendly chat.

Ryan, in fact endorsed Trump and continues to be one of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders. The Republican Party as a whole is marching in lock step behind their leader. For them, it’s loyalty oath time. Republican politicians have willfully forgotten that they took an oath to our Constitution, not that they really believed in it anyway. They have made a decision to share whatever blood, real or figurative, ends up on Trump’s greedy little hands. They have embraced Trump and are his co-conspirators.



Ryan also recently claimed, about Trump not only that “he’s just new” but that “he didn’t know better.” It never occurs to thuggish people of low brain wattage, like Ryan, that maybe the person your party puts forward to run to be our president should “know better.” For Republicans, ignorance is supposed to get you a pass at your job.

I remember all the Republican voters who said they loved Sarah Palin because “she’s just like me.” Palin was handpicked by $enator John McCain to be a heartbeat away from the oval office and all that goes with it. What was he thinking? Was it just arrogance? Was it contempt? Was it just stupidity? McCain had been around the block a few times, probably a few too many times. So, what was his excuse?
