now is the time to take some focus off of trump and apply it to the repubs across the board IMO

since repubs are complicit and silent in the face of the terrors, they should be getting a lot more credit (or blame) for the current situation. Using trump as a whipping boy ignores the fact that repubs could put a stop to a lot of his nonsense with just a few well placed press conferences and votes in the house and senate. Repubs are responsible and It is not all about trump anymore.

fortunately the hawaii delegation is all blue, and I still email with the request to sock it to the repubs as a whole. our wishy washy ed case has a progressive primary challenger so we will see how ed responds.

You are right of course. I did hear a term new to me that I really liked for them.

Retrumplicans.

A blustering, bigoted buffoon. If Republicans returned to their normal “business-first / people-be-damned” ways, the constitutional crisis we are in would be over and Trump and his gang would eventually be behind bars. No more fiscally-impactful cruelty from the GOP (just the kind that’s free)
