On Trump indictment, Senate GOP leaders silent while top House Republicans vow payback

The top two Republican leaders in the Senate remain silent a day after former President Donald Trump, the current GOP 2024 presidential frontrunner, was indicted by the federal government.

While the charges have yet to be unsealed, the top two Republicans in the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Minority Whip John Thune have not put out statements, a stark contrast to the swift reaction among House GOP leaders who quickly rushed to Trump’s defense.

“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America. It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted Thursday night. “I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.”

Thune will succeed the turtle as majority leader. The people who will vote him in are in a club. You aren’t in it. Think George Carlin.

George Carlin was right about a number of things.

“In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.“

Just watched Tucker’s 2nd tweet at twitter. Ends with a guy getting fired for ‘cracking his knuckles’ in a company truck. Wouldn’t show the picture if his finger-blurred out. The employee was driving past a BLM protest when the picture was taken-Employee’s company on the door.

Go ahead-tell me it wasn’t his middle finger he was ‘cracking’.

Tucker is another O’rielly. In for it himself and we’re gonna follow him as if he were Obama on the left? Gimme a break.

Silence....

Dietrich Bonhoeffer — ‘Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.’

Matshona Dhliwayo — ‘Talk is cheap. Silence is costly. Action is priceless.’

“If at times our actions seem to make life difficult for others, it is only because history has made life difficult for us all.”
— John F. Kennedy

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”
— John F. Kennedy

And just what does that mean? It’s a rhetorical question. I know what it means.
Hold a few hearings. Maybe write an angry letter or two. That’s it.

Nothing more to see here. Let’s all move along now.

In 2016 we lost the executive branch to the deep state. Trump was their speed bump, but they fixed that in 2020.

This is not going to end well for everyone in Amerca.

Unelected bureaucrats now run this country.

Don’t forger, the Republicans will make frequent use of exclamation marks. Perhaps they will use all caps and bold font as well.

“Thats because McConnell and Thune are Deep State”

Most GOP senators are politicians who give lip service to being conservatives in order to obtain votes. In reality they are servants for corporate interests and wealthy donors. As the executives at big corporations, and wealthy donors, become more woke GOP Senators have followed the money. Likely 3/4 or more of Republican Senators would like for Trump to be convicted and put in prison for the rest of his life. What this does to the country is secondary to serving their wealthy patrons and using insider information to increase personal wealth.

Other than Rand Paul, and occasionally John Kennedy there is little outrage expressed by Republican Senators at the assault on the social fabric of this nation and the attacks on the bill of rights.

Based on some previous votes then I would say that minimum of 50% of the republican senators are infiltrators.

You don’t do that stuff while representing the company. Got what he deserved. Now Tucker is talking about unconfirmed aliens. Follow him my friend.

We got a VOW.

This is serious pretend to have a spine time.

This is going to call for a committee.
