Republicans are a disgraceful bunch.

Riddled with hypocrisy and so wanting for principles, their arguments and beliefs careen wildly with each of fate’s gusts that either help or hurt the shameful party.

Just a few years ago, when a (black) Democrat lived in the White House, Republicans moaned ceaselessly about a perceived American “apology” tour led by Barack Hussein Obama, an evil man determined to undermine our greatness by criticizing us to foreign leaders.







Of course, their delusions had little merit. Obama most obviously did not travel the world putting America down and promoting other countries to new positions of glory. He never once apologized for legitimate American action or in any way hurt or risked our spot as the world’s greatest country. And obviously foreigners felt similarly, evidenced by their feelings towards him and our country.

But now, we have a president accused of being a Russian puppet traversing the world acting exactly as would a Russian agent alienating American from her allies, deflowering Western liberal democracy, and asserting the interest of autocratic states.

Republicans say nothing and actually rally around the president in record numbers.







When Trump saluted a North Korean general – a man who props up a totalitarian regime that enslaves its own people and confines them to absolute squalor – and the clip starred in the very propaganda used to trick people into supporting tyranny, Republicans said nothing. Worse, they defended Trump’s horrendous summit with Kim Jong Un where the president accomplished nothing but gave the very legitimacy the regime has sought for decades.

Trump’s summit with Putin and resulting press conference abdicated America’s spot as preeminent power. Rhetoric surrounding Putin, who, it must be reminded, routinely has journalists and dissidents killed and has waged to attacks on sovereign allied soil, one successfully, has been rosier than the Pasadena Parade. Asked about Putin’s thuggery and crimes, Trump responded by saying America isn’t perfect, either, and has done many bad things.

In other words, US President Donald J. Trump literally equated us with a country that persecutes gays, kills protesters, fabricates elections, and everyday descends further into authoritarianism.







He has done the same thing with the aforementioned North Korean state.

All of this happens as Trump threatens our NATO allies and the alliance itself, plunges us into a trade war that risks economic calamity with us and our friends, labels Europeans “enemies”, and called Canada a “national security threat.”

In what way is this not the very apology and destruction tour Republicans, in their fevered delusions, so cravenly lambasted in Obama actions? (it’s actually many orders of magnitudes worse than the accusations lobbied at the Obama administration.)

Silence is complicity; failure to check presidential power endorsement in all but name; openly supporting and defending such actions – as many Republicans have – an admittance of disgusting hypocrisy.

That’s who they are. Republicans are but hypocrites acting without principle or thought to our interest. They just want power, America be damned.
