Republicans Total Political Negligence

They have failed miserably. They have betrayed our country and their oaths. There is nothing to say in their defense.

There is no way to sugarcoat it.

They have stood behind someone who has murdered our citizens. Someone who has started a war that he does not know how to end. Someone who threatens world peace, by using the US Military to invade other countries and kidnap their leaders, and commits war crimes by bombing school children in another country, and by blowing up injured people clinging to a boat in the Caribbean.

His crimes are too numerous to mention, not the least of which is to attempt to steal taxpayer money from our Treasury.

They had a duty to protect our country and our Constitution and they failed at every turn. By all accounts, they should be in jail as accessories to murder and treason. But they are busy running for re-election. They are the last people on earth that need to be representing the people of this country.

That is the truth laid bare.

I don’t know who TF could vote for them — but sadly their voters are lacking brains that can think critically

Serious political malpractice and depraved indifference to human life. And, of course, treason.

should stand before a tribunal of international judges similar to the Nuremberg tribunal where judges prosecuted prominent Nazis for their roles in WWII and the Holocaust...

Psychopathy is a very common
mental disorder. It is twice as
common as schizophrenia,
anorexia, and bipolar disorder.
It is equally common as bulimia,
panic disorder, and autism.
The only mental disorders
significantly more common than
psychopathy are substance abuse
or dependence, depression, and
post-traumatic stress disorder.

Psychopathy affects all
ethnic, cultural, racial,
and socioeconomic groups.

...psychopathy
is a spectrum disorder,

Prevalence in the United States
Approximately 70% of the
population is estimated to
have no psychopathic traits
whatsoever.

The remaining
30% have low, medium, or

and sucked in my breath until I read it again. I first read it as 70% HAVE traits of psychopathy. Thank goodness I took that second look... made me feel better, although it does answer the question of how many magas there are in the country!

This is a fascist regime serving the oligarchs, not The People. Destroying constitutional rule of law and aligning with other dictatorships is not by accident.
