The Longer Republicans Sit On Their Hands, The More Likely America’s Self-Destruction Becomes Irreversible
The Federalist ^ | 08/15/2023 | Jordan Boyd

Posted on 08/15/2023 6:37:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Friday that U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss, who orchestrated Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal, will now serve as special counsel in the government’s probe of the Biden family business.

The blatantly partisan decision to appoint a co-conspirator in the plot to cover up the Biden family business should not go unpunished. Republicans should start by impeaching Garland, whose track record even before the recent special counsel appointment was worth immense scrutiny. Garland’s decision to bestow special privileges and status on yet another one of Biden’s corrupt deep-state attorneys only adds to the growing list of reasons why he should be prosecuted and removed.

Garland isn’t the only one who should pay. The whole DOJ, its pawns in the FBI, and whoever in the White House is giving them orders should be held to account for their travesties against the American people.

The Biden administration shouldn’t get away with its attempts to obstruct the Democrat president’s role in an international influence-peddling scheme. Unfortunately, the corrupt bureaucracy’s Biden business cover-up is only part of the downfall of the nation.

Any American can see that the biggest election-rigging plot to date is happening right under their noses. Every time there is a bombshell breakthrough in the Biden family corruption case, former President Donald Trump is punished with more concocted charges and indictments.

Now more than ever, the right must fight back. If Republicans don’t use their majority in the House and the thin margin in the Senate to curb the deep state, they may never have a chance again.

That sounds dramatic, but it’s true. One look at the actions of the Biden administration and its leftist cronies shows they want nothing more than to undercut the foundational principles of our constitutional republic and replace them with leftist fantasies.

Already, leftists have worked overtime to ensure the nation’s cities burned, hardworking taxpayers were forced out of their jobs over a jab, national security was comprised thanks to a wide open southern border, and American voters didn’t get all of the information they needed to make an informed decision during the 2016, 2020, and now 2024 election cycle.

The few institutions the left doesn’t quite dominate, such as the Supreme Court, are constantly threatened with smears and court-packing campaigns. Red states that have rejected the left’s advances face lawsuits from the feds and out-of-state-funded ballot measures designed to make them look like blue states. As I write, the unconstitutional left is trying to overturn election integrity laws so it is easier to permanently put themselves in power.

Once that is accomplished, there’s little to nothing that can be done to fight it. The authoritarian takeover is happening in plain sight, and Republicans are doing very little, if anything, to stop it.

Democrats love to use “X thing or person is a threat to democracy” as the justification for their unconstitutional actions. In reality, leftists and their radical agenda are the biggest threats our self-government faces today.

Impeachment can’t wait until Congress is back from its summer vacation. Defunding the FBI can’t wait until the spineless Senate Republicans get on board. Protecting our elections can’t wait until the corporate media are busy spinning on other issues.

The best time for the right to ward off the destruction of the country is now. Those Republicans who are silent now are throwing American voters to the wolves. Without a defense against a corrupt regime that has no problems imprisoning its political enemies and those it deems guilty of wrongthink, Americans and the founding principles that inspire and invigorate them will be long gone.

McConnell, Thune, Ernst are supposed to be leading the GOP in the Senate. But they hate Trump, so they’re quiet as the DOJ is weaponized against one of their party’s ex-Presidents and main candidates for 2024.

Self immolation.

Its far, far past time to stop hoping the GOP will be riding to the rescue.

Most of them are pulling for the democrats.

"Democrats love to use “X thing or person is a threat to democracy” as the justification for their unconstitutional actions. In reality, leftists and their radical agenda are the biggest threats our self-government faces today."

Its not just Democrats--Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger were the most direct. But there are other snakes that are more careful. Although Pence's mask slipped recently.

The crook McConnell even came out to lecture the House that a Biden impeachment is bad for the country.

All this while he is sitting there quietly while the democrats run their lawfare and other illegal activities against Trump, and covering up for the Biden family. Those are apparently not bad for the country.

"McConnell, Thune, Ernst are supposed to be leading the GOP in the Senate."

Their time may come, and then the words of Martin Niemoller come to mind.

Republicans sitting on their hands??? WE ALL KNOW WHERE THEIR THUMBS ARE!!!! Same place as where ALL those sternly worded letters come from.

Just a Bunch of Ball-Less Wonders. I would rather seem them fight and lose than just “Ride Their Thumbs.”

The Republicans do nothing to curb the Democrats’ aggressive and radical behavior. In effect, they have been long term enablers of those who are destroying the country by failing to ever hold Democrats accountable for their destructive misdeeds.

Permanent Republican weakness only encourages the Democrats to keep pushing their radical agenda. Democrats know they have nothing to fear from the other side.

The f*cking RNC is as useless as tits on a boar.

Why we still support those surrender monkeys is a total mystery to me.

They aren’t sitting on their hands. They are actively engaged in the destruction of this country.

McConnell states that he sees no end to aid to Ukraine.

People in places like South Dakota and Iowa still vote for Thune and Ernst, thinking they’ll actually do their jobs.

People all over this country continue to elect the same tired, “moderate” Republican that “can win” and expect something different in the next term.

Only to be disappointed, over and over again.

“Its far, far past time to stop hoping the GOP will be riding to the rescue.

***********

The GOP is what it is. The party’s DNA and culture (such that it is) is deeply ingrained and will never change.

Ronald Reagan wrote a great playbook for the Republicans but it wasn’t long before the party tore up the book and reverted right back to its appeasing ways.

The GOP is a soulless party that stands for nothing. If Trump succeeds in getting re-elected the party will once again weigh on him like an anchor dragging through the mud.

Impeaching Garland is a joke as was the impeachment of Trump, it is all for looks you will never get 67 Senators to vote for impeachment of this clown

The sad part is that, except for a few opposition voices, the Republicans are weak-kneed and spineless.

What are you talking about? The Republican Party is aiding and abetting the destruction of the United States of America. They joined forces with the Democrats to get President Trump replaced with Lying Joe Biden. They are working hand in glove with Joe Biden to send our tax dollars to Ukraine to be divided up among themselves in the form of bloodmoney. Hell with our Southern Borders where the real threat to the United States of America is. And that is just for starters.

They’re not “pulling for the Democraps”. They just want to keep the gravy train going.

With respect, most republicans are hoping the rats and their banana republic sh*tshow prosecution of Trump to succeed. Because most in both parties want the gravy train to roll on.
