Republicans, once claiming to be the "party of law and order," are now the party of neither law, nor order.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/05/at-critical-moment-for-america.html

Members of Congress, lawmakers, standing outside a courtroom where a law breaker is being tried, as the Constitution of the United States requires, demonstrating support of his inability to exercise self-control and for his contempt for the law, are really sending a very clear message that they, too, hold the law in contempt, and resent any attempt to enforce it. They are taking a position that tells the country, loud and clear, that they are not American patriots at all, but that they are standing against the rule of law that their own political party once trumpeted as a campaign theme.

It is impossible to claim support for a "nation of laws" and then visibly demonstrate solidarity with a man who shows nothing but contempt for the law.

The means we have at our disposal to get rid of these unqualified, contemptible politicians is the ballot box. But they know this, and are doing everything they can to undermine this power, too, by claiming they won't accept the results of the election.

That is, they won't accept them if Biden wins. If Trump wins, well, that will be a different story. And that very fact tells every single American who knows anything about how our country works, that these members of Congress are not only not qualified to serve where they are, but they are using their position to serve their own interests, and not those of the people. And they are telling their own supporters that they are the most gullible, stupid bunch of idiots in the world, to believe this garbage they are selling. Those who believe this, and fit that description, don't recognize they've been insulted, and will vote for them.

Let's just hope there are still enough well educated, intelligent, free-thinking Americans who know what this country stands for, and are still true patriots, to give them an electoral beating they'll remember for generations.
