(4,092 posts)puppet, but him and the people around him were not traitors, they did not sympathize with Putin and other dictators, and at the end of it, as bad as they were, they acted based on an erroneous ideology, which does not excuse them for all their crimes from which they were never made accountable for, something that I was very disappointed about Obama/Biden.
Now the idiot-in-chief...this is a guy who has never loved his country, he has loved what his country and his dad have done and continue to do for him, he is the antithesis of JFK's famous quote " Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.", he sees the USA as a bank, some entity where he can withdraw money from by cheating, he hates people, regardless of where they come from, he goes against immigrants because they are easy target for him and his base. I could write forever about the evil buffoon, but I believe we all know who he, his family and those around him are. Whoever wrote that quote "When you say that 'he is an idiot', we all know who you are talking about." is so on point.
The GOP followed on Grover Norquist recommendation to the tee, here is what he said:
"All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. [...]
Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared."
And there you have it!
