Buy, buy Miss American pie
Once the party of Christ, law, and order, today's Republican Party now embraces the total opposite teachings of Jesus, and has become the party of crime and chaos, the "radical right".
Yesterday's moral leaders have been replaced by lieutenants in Russia's and Jeffrey Epstein's organized crime syndicate, selling out America as fast as they can, funneling as many taxpayer dollars to as possible to as many billionaires as fast as they can, while helping the failed billionaire experiment evade paying as many taxes as possible, while trying to minimize the exposure of the criminal orbit of Jeffrey Epstein and themselves by corrupting and weaponizing as many public offices as they can, while manufacturing as much immunity from prosecution for all of the same as possible, in hopes of being paid dark money or hidden bribes in a qui pro quo organized crime fashion, while the 6/9 SCOTUS they installed do the same, each obstructing justice for the other, in a wonderful example of the total collapse of moral leadership into an ongoing organized crime syndicate.
Anyone trying to hold them accountable, especially their own, are destroyed, threatened with destruction, censured, investigated, prosecuted, blackmailed, extorted, impeached, and/or threatened as Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Peter Strozk, Lisa Page, Colonel Vindman, Chris Wray, Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden, and others have endured.
American Heroes: Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney
"On July 1, 2021, Kinzinger voiced disdain about sanctions threatened by Republican leadership against Republican lawmakers who would participate in a House committee to investigate the Capitol attack.[58][59] After McCarthy rescinded his recommendations, Pelosi announced on July 25 that she had appointed Kinzinger to the committee.[69][70] Kinzinger was one of the ten House Republicans who voted for Trump's second impeachment.[71] As a member of the committee investigating the January 6 attack and related issues, Kinzinger oversaw its fifth public hearing on June 23, 2022, serving as the lead questioner of witnesses. The hearing featured testimony from former Department of Justice officials describing how Trump tried to enlist them in his fight to overturn the 2020 presidential election.[72] Kinzinger also co-led the eighth hearing with Representative Elaine Luria.
On February 4, 2022, the Republican National Committee called the events of January 6, 2021, a "legitimate political discourse" and overwhelmingly voted by voice vote to censure Kinzinger, along with Representative Liz Cheney, for taking part in the House investigation of the Capitol assault.[73]
In his farewell address to Congress on December 15, 2022, Kinzinger warned his colleagues of the influence of conspiracy theories and falsehoods on politics, as well as threats to democracy in America and rising authoritarianism and factionalism. He criticized the Republican Party, saying:
"Where Republicans once believed that limited government meant lower taxes and more autonomy, today limited government means inciting violence against government officials.
Following the tragic Oklahoma City bombing, former President George H. W. Bush publicly refuted those who used fear to gain support. In stark contrast, our leaders today belittle, and in some cases justify, attacks on the U.S. Capitol as "legitimate political discourse". The once great party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan has turned its back on the ideals of liberty and self-governance. Instead, it has embraced lies and deceit.
The Republican Party used to believe in a big tent, which welcomed the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Now we shelter the ignorant, the racists, who only stoke anger and hatred to those that are different than us.
Our constituents voted us in based on our beliefs, but we cannot use our faith as a sword and a shield while ignoring the fact we are all children of God, that we are all Americans."
