General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

IT WAS ME!



This happened:


"A US Navy plane crashed into the ocean southeast of Okinawa Wednesday afternoon, leaving three people missing in the latest of a string of troubling incidents facing the Navy in waters off East Asia this year. 

 The C2-A Greyhound transport plane was carrying 11 crew and passengers to an aircraft carrier when it crashed into the Philippine Sea around 2:45 p.m. Japan Standard Time, the Navy said."

And the GOP's pedophile-supporting president, instead of comforting the Navy families who lost loved ones, tweeted out this:







Trump's own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, called  the POTUS a "fking moron." 

We also learned this week that Trump's National Security Advisor, General H.R. McMaster, reportedly referred to Trump as an "idiot" with the "brain of a kindergartener."

Trump's own people know what Trump is. 

Now let's think about where we are as a country as we approach our national holiday of Thanksgiving.

Trump is supporting Roy Moore, a man who has been accused of molesting little girls, over Doug Jones, a man who brought to justice the KKKers who killed four little girls. (Trump called Jones "soft on crime.")

Evangelical Christians continue to support both Trump and Moore because they've said it is more important to elect a child molester than a Democrat, so that Congress can raise their taxes.




Meanwhile, this is where the current GOP is headed:


“You have the president of the United States now saying clearly and out loud he takes the side of Roy Moore,” Geist said. “He takes the word of Roy Moore versus the word of the nine accusers.” Geist then tried to appeal to Trump with a different argument: 

 “So if your moral code doesn’t dictate that you come out strongly against someone who’s been accused of these things, maybe a political, strategic argument would prevail on the president. Which is that: you win this seat, this Senate seat for Roy Moore, it’s a Pyrrhic victory, because you will be saddled — as you all have just said — as the party of a pedophile for the rest of Roy Moore’s term. And by the way, the president will be saddled with that…you stood up in this moment of truth, you stood up and took the side of an accused pedophile.” 

Co-host Joe Scarborough added he thinks that Moore is likely to still lose the Alabama senate election to Democratic opponent Doug Jones, despite Trump’s support. 

 MSNBC analyst John Heilemann called that scenario the “worst of all worlds” for the Republican party: “you lose the seat, and in the process of losing it you’ve become the party of pedophiles.”

DONALD J. TRUMP'S LEGACY TO THE GOP.

From my fb friend Charles G.:

"When I hear Jeff Flake moaning that he doesn’t want the Republican Party to become “the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore,” I am compelled to point out that the Republican Party has been the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore for 30 years. It’s just been waiting for Donald Trump and Roy Moore to come along. It is to laugh, and then it is to weep."

Enjoy the day, Dave. Blessings to you and your family.

Happy Turkey Day to All!

Not a Republican Anymore said...

Shaw, all of what you posted is true but the GOP doesn't care because the GOP has no moral standing anymore. They are the party of cheats, liars, pedophiles and sexual predators. Lincoln is weeping.

Re Trump's Twitter whine concerning LaVar Ball... Trump lovers are attacking LeVar Burton because they think he's LaVar Ball. One Twitter-er wrote "@levarburton You're a has been actor with a thief for a son and Trump is the president of the United States. Get the picture?".

Dervish, Trump supporters are not very bright. They prove this over and over.

conservative: “He denies it. He totally denies it,”

Will somebody remind me how what Trump said about Moore means that TRUMP IS DEFENDING ROY MOORE??? EVERY liberal I’m hearing and reading is saying that. ???


They're too dense and corrupted to understand that a decent person and especially a POTUS would not excuse a child molester by saying "he totally denies it." That's giving a criminal an excuse. But we know Trump is not decent, he is the most corrupt and indecent man to ever stain the Oval Office and his supporters are no better because they keep excusing the p-grabber!
