Is this supposed to be a revelation?

The irony is that it all started with a conspiracy theory that everyone in the world, including Trump's staff, knew was false.

The conservatives keep nominating dumb, incompetent candidates for president only to find that they can't get away from the many stupid (and sometimes deadly) decisions that these inept POTUS's make. SO WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY WAIT FOR FOXNEWS AND RUSH LIMPBAUGH TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO MAKE THEM FEEL AS THOUGH THEY MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO ELECT THIS MORALLY, INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, AND CRIMINAL BUSINESSMAN AS POTUS. THEY SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN. AS LONG AS THEY KEEP SPININ, THE CONSERVATIVES FEEL BETTER. This is why they keep buying into the biden angle, it's the kind of spin that makes them think "boy, maybe trump is innocent, maybe we didn't make the dumbest mistake in our voting history, whew!. But make no mistake, everybody else knows better, we are not stupid, we know what that thing is that sits in the oval office, we've seen that knucklehead in action and we know this is not about biden, its about trump. What did trump say, "I was concerned about corruption..." WOW!! That's like Al Capone going after a criminal because he's conserned about corruption. Crooks love corruption, it's how they make (or in trump case steal) money. STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN SPIN MACHINE, THAT'S ALL IT IS---SPIN. DAY SPININ, DAY SPININ, DAY SPININ!!

IMPOTUS wanted to tarnish the good name of his most likely -- and most threatening -- opponent, and he had come up with a scheme to create the announcement of a corruption investigation. The announcement was the main thing, not an investigation. That would give Fat Donnie enough to spin his lies at his rallies and in his tweets.

Since he's been found out, the Repugs have picked up the flag. By making the impeachment about Biden they have given Trump what he was seeking in the first place -- a tool he can use to bludgeon a truly decent man.

The Republicans are the enemy of our nation. From consorting with the Russians to voter suppression, to stacking the courts and violating the Constitution they claim to love, the Repugs have shown themselves to care only about themselves, and to hell with the well-being and security of our country.

November cannot get here soon enough. Time to unpack the powder we've been keeping dry and unleashing everything we've got to destroy our enemy (IQ45 and the Republican Party) and save the country -- and the world.
