Define âcouldâ . . .
To hell with all of them. I didnât hear any âconcernsâ before they left town. In essence they helped stoke the fire and then pulled the fire alarm just before they ran out of the building.
True Rethugliklan heroism writ large.
Iâm pretty sure that Hitler actually wrote Mein Kampf himself.
"Outgoing Republican Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) on Wednesday warned of the dangers of accepting the term âfake newsâ and suggested that Trumpâs presidency could eventually lead to the emergence of a âHitler-like characterâ.â
Not much gets past Rep. von Papen.
Of course heâs not referring to tRump, just someone that could come along and be and do some of the things that are happening now. But, of course, heâs not referring to tRump.
âOut-goingâ aka the GOP ViagraâŚ
Conclusion: Corrupt liars are keenly aware of the instincts and motivations of fellow corrupt liars.
Sanford should know something about Trumpâs character, since he spent a certain amount of it on the Appalachian Trail. Trump has, metaporically, spent his entire life hiking the Appalachian Trail, including the part he should have spent tramping around the jungle in Viet Nam.
NOW he tells usâŚwhat a shitbag.
Just a wee bit late on the âif a Hitler-like character comes alongâ warning, but, yeah, thanks Mark.
Yet another chickenshit afraid to say anything about the incompetent running the country until heâs on his way out the door. Screw him.
We canât throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If we have no faith in our institutions and the people that populate them, our system breaks down.
We must embrace the truth, and it will set us free.
Open political systems cannot survive in a post-truth world.
We cannot accept chronic streams of distruth.
If everything is subjective, there is nothing to debate.
If, on the other hand, there is objective truth, and I can approach it from the right while you approach it from a perspective more to the left, then we can join in debate.
Without truth out in the middle, there is no starting point.
Mark Sanford New Years resolution say, No more read Confucius on Christmas break.
Sanfordâs a sad figure. He wonât even be footnote in congressional history. Iâd like to say he couldâve been better. But if he couldâve been, he would have.
Are the only responsible GOP leaders the ones who did not get reelected?
Person knowingly selling gas to an arsonist blames the fire exclusively on the latter.
Pretty much, some Republican will talk of being âconcernedâ or âhave doubtsâ but if theyâre Senators then McTurtle gets a hold of them andâŚitâs too disgusting to say, no shouldnât talk about what Mitch does to them in cloakroom, but he smooths the way for Trump.
Now if theyâre a Congresscritter how much you want to bet Jordan still knows how to perform a headlock?
Of course, to be truly âHitler-likeâ heâd have to be a Democrat pushing health-care reform.
Gee Rep. Sanford, did you just figure this out. A great many of us have been concerned about just that possibility since June, 2015 when Herr Trump came down that escalator.
Yeah, not killing prematurely 50,000 Americans a year is Hitler-like?
