The stunning hypocrisy of today& #39;s @GOP
1. They claim to be the party of "family values," but they support the foulmouth guy who cheated on every wife he ever had and bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. They support his foulmouth porn-star wife, too.
The stunning hypocrisy of today& #39;s @GOP
1. They claim to be the party of "family values," but they support the foulmouth guy who cheated on every wife he ever had and bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. They support his foulmouth porn-star wife, too.
2. They claim to be the "all lives matter" party but turned a blind eye when their leaders said that old people would be happy to die for the economy and that "there are more important things than living" while backing policies that have killed over 200K https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/dan-patrick-there-are-more-important-things-than-living.html">https://nymag.com/intellige...
3. They call themselves Christians but vote for the guy who gassed fellow citizens and hauled away a priest so he could have a photo op in front of a church he never attends -- instead of voting for the guy who& #39;s a lifelong dedicated Catholic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/03/priest-stjohns-church-trump/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2...
They prattle on about Hunter Biden, while going merrily along with the never-ending public display of self-dealing nepotism from Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, and Eric. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/06/trump-nepotism-too-obvious-to-ignore-elitism.html">https://slate.com/news-and-...
They shout "LAW & ORDER" but pretend that it& #39;s perfectly acceptable and legal for cops to kill and injure unarmed citizens in broad daylight. https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1284526898991828992?s=20">https://twitter.com/greg_douc...
They would not shut up about Obama& #39;s birth certificate, but are happy not seeing Trump& #39;s falsified tax returns, his sketchy medical history, or even DNA that would *exonerate* him in a rape case. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/judge-rules-that-trump-has-to-submit-dna-sample-sit-for-deposition-in-e-jean-carroll-defamation-case/ar-BB17StL2">https://www.msn.com/en-us/new...
They squawk "SOCIALISM" when presented with stimulus plans that go to working class families -- but happily nod along when the Fed buys up $2T in stocks and bonds (socialism is typically defined as "government owning the means of production"). https://nypost.com/2020/04/16/43k-us-millionaires-will-get-stimulus-averaging-1-6m-each/">https://nypost.com/2020/04/1...
They chant "AMERICA FIRST" while supporting policies that have led to the largest trade deficit in 14 years. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/06/economy/trade-deficit-august/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/0...
They call the Democrats "coastal elites" and somehow fail to notice that the President is the son of an east-coast billionaire who never worked an honest job in his life - while Clinton, Obama, and Biden all came from middle / working class families. https://qz.com/1411006/trumps-413-million-inheritance-doesnt-explain-his-mysterious-cash-spending/">https://qz.com/1411006/t...
They scream about the "sanctity of life" when blocking embryonic stem-cell research, but are perfectly okay when the President takes, invests in, and *publicly promotes* a treatment made from embryonic stem cells. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/regeneron-trump-covid-aborted-fetal-tissue/">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rege...
Which brings us to the countless examples of grift from the same people who demanded that Jimmy Carter put his family farm in a blind trust because of "conflicts of interest." Regeneron is just the latest. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/05/investing/trump-regeneron/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/0...
Republicans chanted "lock her up" when it was revealed that Hillary Clinton was using a private email server. We *STILL* haven& #39;t heard the end of THAT "scandal."
But it& #39;s fine to use private email when Ivanka and Jared do it. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/us/politics/jared-kushner-whatsapp.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/2...

They refused to hold a hearing on Obama& #39;s Supreme Court nominee because it was an election season (un-stacking the Court to 8 justices for over a year) but are positively racing to confirm Trump& #39;s nominee less than a month before the elections. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/18/politics/merrick-garland-senate-republicans-timeline/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/1...
But mostly, I just want people who consider themselves Christians to consider who said:
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
OK....

I& #39;m not new to US politics. It& #39;s always dirty.
But the last four years has been unlike anything I& #39;ve ever witnessed. And I remember Watergate.
You know I& #39;m right. This is not normal. None of this is normal. This is not how an American President behaves.

I was not a fan of the Clinton impeachment hearings, but Bill Clinton definitely lied under oath, and the Republicans were right in 1999 when they said "character matters."
Now those same people are enabling the worst Presidential behavior in history. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/08/opinions/clinton-impeachment-gop-hypocrisy-avlon/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/0...

Character matters.
Divisiveness hurts all of us.
Appalling behavior shames the whole country.
Grift and nepotism steal from everyone.
It& #39;s time to end this dark period in American history.
Let& #39;s return to normalcy.
Please, I urge you: vote #BidenHarris2020.
