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."

More Worms Are Turning

 

Axios:

Georgia’s fake electors acted at Trump’s direction, indicted ex-GOP chair says 



 "David Shafer, former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party and one of the 19 defendants in the Georgia election interference case, claimed in a court filing that he and the other Republican electors who tried to falsely certify Donald Trump as the winner in Georgia were acting at the former president's behest. 

 Why it matters: As defendants in the sprawling case begin to turn themselves in ahead of the Friday deadline, Shafer's position signals that some may be poised to turn on the former president."





I'll answer my own question: NEVER!  

They're so far down the rabbit hole that they cannot work themselves out of it. That would mean they'd have to admit to themselves and others that they've been conned, deceived, hoodwinked, tricked, beguiled, seduced, and inveigled by the greatest con artist in American history:  Donald J. Trump.

No one likes to admit that, so we'll never see them acknowledge their colossal gullibility in believing that the 2020 election was stolen and in believing the Big Lie. That would be an admission of their egregiously poor judgement of character and willingness to believe a barely literate con man.

Even as we watch the lines of Republicans being fingerprinted, getting their mugshots, and being indicted for committing felonies in service to Trump's Big Lie, those people will never have the courage to admit what is sadly obvious to the rest of the country. They will continue to live in their self-deceiving worlds, ripe for another snake oil salesman to bamboozle them again.


And our country will continue to suffer from their stubborn allegiance to a Liar, Cheat, Fraud, and Rapist.

Trump still doesn't know the difference between a verb and a German Christmas bread.

What's the difference between some republicans and a sheep being taken to slaughter?

Some republicans will actually aid the executioner.

Hey Shaw... you must be getting to them.

Now that the FreeThinke named "Stench Trench", also known as WYD, where Lisa said she posts "True and false facts" seems to be permanently closed after the deletion of a series of posts, the trolls have moved on.

Yesterday I visited the Mothership and saw a typical off topic rant by a sailor there. The entire missive, which looks like it was written by a seventh grader needing to dump words in to get to the required word number, blasted off on you in some misfired attempt to troll your moment of Zen posts.

It's another example of vomiting forth anything when you've got no facts or defense of what looks more everyday like a former president who is also a criminal.

Wow! I didn't see that coming! NOT!

"CNBC reports that Donald Trump refuses to fund any of the co-defendants charged alongside him in Georgia, as their legal bills are about to skyrocket

"People familiar with the big bills in the GA case told CNBC that many caught up in the case are not expecting any help from the Trump political network"



Especially from the guy who stiffed anyone who worked for him, laborers and lawyers alike.

He's raising millions from his cultists for his legal defense fund (but I thought he was a billionaire!) and not a penny for the suckers who jumped on his Big Lie bandwagon.

Dave M. I visited WYD a while back and saw that someone had posted someone's SSN, which is a crime. And this was done more than once.

Maybe the law got to WYD and forced it to shut down? Don't know, but I was shocked to see that Lisa let her denizens do that on her blog.

Well, her posters have scattered like you-know-what when the lights are turned on, and they're trying to find another blog to ruin. They come here every day hoping to get published. I look at names first and delete any WYD troll without reading what they write.

It's not easy for a person to admit they've been duped, especially an authoritarian conservative.

Fine. Don't admit it. Just stop parroting the BS.

Most of them will take Trump's hate and lies to the grave.

Dave Dubya,

You're doing a Sisyphean job educating the folks on the Bonderenka blog. He's a good sport for allowing the threads. The problem is that the escapees from the WYD blog will never be able to process the intelligent, factual data you give them.

I'm pretty sure those posters are all one person using different names.

Dave Dubya said...

Shaw,
Yes, I understand the futility of trying to reason with a cult.
I confess I do it for sport to see their hysteria and obnoxious reactions. All they do is keep proving I'm correct about them. :-)
And none of them can ever claim they were never exposed to truth.

HA! "Trump still doesn't know the difference between a verb and a German Christmas bread." I had to go back to see what that comment was about. I totally missed LL.
