It’s Really About Us
This from senior legal analyst Andrew Weissmann.
About 35% of Americans who voted are completely fine with the fact that their leader is a career criminal.
Sure, Trump’s a despicable human being , but he’s not even rare, let alone unique, in that regard. What makes him special is that more than one-third of Americans see him as the path to our country’s greatness.
Read Michael Wolff’s new book on the Fall of Fox, and you’ll find your answer why.
That MAGA 1 /3rd of the US you speak about here — are white nationalist / racist / Nazis — and always have been.
Trump just pulled the scab off the puss.
It’s time for the rest of us to “flush the Republican Party / MAGA toilet”.
You haven’t listened — so when they come after you — you’ll finally get the picture — as they overcome you.
In the UK, Boris Johnson was pretty much forced to step down as Prime Minister and also stood down as a member of Parliament after he was caught out lying to a Parliamentary investigation committee about breaking laws his own government had put in place to help curb the spread of COVID. (He was fined for the same offence). There is no way that a member of parliament would be able to remain a member of any British parliamentary political party were they facing charges anything like as serious as Donald Trump, nor would they be considered as a candidate representing any main stream political to stand for election as a representative for parliament, or even for any local council. If a party was foolish enough to field such a candidate, the public would not stand for it, and the party would most likely lose their deposit (candidates polling under 5% of the vote lose their deposit). How is it that in the US Donald Trump with “more baggage than American Airlines” can even be considered as a candidate, let alone be the front runner to win the Republican primary?
