awfulness reflects in particular the R party because clearly there is no emergency at the Southern border - clearly this is a POTUS and party who are ginning up a false narrative to have a win to save face due to the ego of a very unstable despot at the helm - I think back to the claims by R's that the D's (Joe Biden in particular) went out of their way to block a Republican's choice for a seat on the SC and when it came to Merrick Garland, the R's doubled down on that type of political play subverting the rules of the house the D choice claiming this is how the Democrat's play, we're just doing the same.
When a man, or mouse like Mitch McConnell roosts in a powerful position as his is, there's no telling how ugly politics can get.
Sadly, when it comes to Republican politicians - save a few (John McCain was one) - I have zero belief in their integrity and scruples. Example - we're the party of fiscal responsibility; there couldn't a more false statement ever canvased by a group of people and that's just a sample of their falseness. We can talk about their narrative on family values and it's the same, a falseness that is proven to be by their elected year in and year out. This is not a dichotomy of a party, it is their foundation - the same as when FOX TV called themselves "Fair and Balanced" where they were neither fair nor balanced in fact quite the opposite - a note, this is where the republicans who are really true to their party follow the mantras of that network and it appears it's where the Republican party elected get their speaking points and we know this is where our POTUS gets his.
Just look at this board, Eli, Cole, Baron, Neddie, IrishMac, Rooster, CC72, ColeyO, Aragoto just to name a few here who follow an R politicians down the rabbit hole on a daily basis. They come on here as purveyors of nonsense and they're perfectly happy with it.
