Memorial Day Weekend

 













Today we should all be thinking about Gladys Sicknick, the mother of fallen Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. 

She begged Republicans to do the right thing, told them how important it was to her son's memory and was turned away or (worse) ignored by the majority of Senate Trumpublicans' offices.  

Sad for her; sad for Officer Sicknick's family. But also for our country to realize that these GQP members don’t want the truth. The realization that they are so obviously complicit in what happened is both nauseating and terrifying. Our country deserves better.

I never want to hear another Trumpublican claim patriotism or a love of country. They were afraid of cleaning their own house for fear of what it would uncover and discovering who aided the January 6 homegrown terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol.   

I don’t want to hear from a single Trumpublican senator on Memorial Day about how important those who protect and serve are to this country. They no longer have any credibility.

This veteran agrees 100% and I will NEVER accept that those who voted against finding out exactly what happened on January 6th are patriotic Americans who value the service of our servicemembers. Not all our wars are patriotic or just but most (99%) who have served for us are.

Sorry NANCY, but that "insurrection" label won't stick

Did they ever have any credibility?
I mean really... I wonder.

The Republican party led by Donald Trump is now made up of undereducated, angry racist folks, religious bigots who want to "save us" and impose their values and a bunch of educated wealthy Americans who got theirs, want to keep it at all cost and make sure no one else gets it.

Nope. You're wrong. "Trumpublican Insurrectionists" label is PERMANENTLY STUCK to GQPers.

For all eternity.

I don’t wanna hear even one word of “honor our fallen heroes” BULLSHIT from Republicans who continue to worship a despicable traitor and continue to do NOTHING about the deadly insurrection.

Connor Lamb should replace Kevin Dementia McCarthy as house minority leader. But then again why on earth would the trumpubllican gop want to become an actual party with principles and morals? Its done so smashingly well without so much as a single redeeming policy agenda.

No way. I like having the Democrats in charge and hope they gain even more seats (not likely, but I can hope). Connor Lamb is a Democrat. :)

"Joe Biden said in his Social Justice speech at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday, that EMPATHY is what fuels democracy.

Some of us discussed what we thought of that in the Comments from yesterday’s post….! (we didn’t think much of it, to say the least)"


THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LISTENED WITH YOUR HATRED AND NOT YOUR HEART.

You and your friends support a traitor to the United States!
