I cannot grasp, moreover, the mindset of those MAGA cultists who continue to endorse the view that these traitors are &#8220;hostages&#8221; being held by the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>The fall campaign has begun in earnest. The former president has acquired enough GOP delegates to be nominated to run against President Biden, who&#8217;s also reeled in enough delegate votes to win the Democratic Party nod.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, that the Republicans still would even nominate this idiot makes me wonder aloud what has happened to a once-great, once-viable, once-legitimate political organization. It has been captured and &#8220;held hostage&#8221; &#8212; to borrow a phrase &#8212; by the dipsh** who is poised to be nominated for the third election cycle in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The entire world witnessed what happened on 1\/6. The crowd stormed into the Capitol, smashed windows, attacked D.C. police officers, defecated on the floor of our federal government, brandished signs calling for the lynching of Vice President Pence.<\/p>\n<p>And yet &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We have supposedly serious individuals telling us the mob was behaving peacefully?<\/p>\n<p>The 45th POTUS could have stopped the assault. He didn&#8217;t. He allowed it to continue. Now he vows to pardon those who have been arrested and in many cases <em>convicted<\/em> of felonies?<\/p>\n<p>The former Liar in Chief is getting some pushback from the former chair of the GOP, Ronna Romney McDaniel, who said that as RNC chair, she had to &#8220;take one for the team.&#8221; Now, she said she is able to &#8220;be myself&#8221; as a <em>former<\/em> party chair.<\/p>\n<p>What utter crap!<\/p>\n<p>The former POTUS has sown the seeds of anarchy within the once-great political party.<\/p>\n<p>The list of reasons why this moron should never be elected POTUS is long and getting longer. For my money, the pledge to pardon the traitors who sh** on the Capitol floor is more than enough reason &#8212; all by itself &#8212; to reject this idiot&#8217;s lunacy.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the campaign promises the presumed Republican Party presidential nominee has said, the hands-down deal breaker came when he pledged to issue a presidential pardon to all the criminals who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
