Hey, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell

[Cyrano]

You both saw, or watched replays of last night's anger-filled hate fest which was Trump's huge "Nuremberg Rally." (The only thing missing was the burning of books.) So it must have entered your minds that this dangerous, narcissistic, sociopath should never be anywhere near the levers of power (not to mention the nuclear codes).

Yet, as leaders of the House and the Senate, neither one of you has said a word. It seems your loyalty to the Republican Party, or perhaps concern for your own careers, is more important to you than the well-being of the country you are sworn to protect.

Both of you, and your ilk, talk a lot about "patriotism," "love of country," and how America is "Number One."

So, given your silence on last night's fascist rally, here's what I believe about both of you and your whole fucking Republican Party. Trump, and his entire entourage of freaks, are out there poisoning this presidential campaign. And you are nothing more than a terrified bunch of pricks, running for cover, while our country is under attack by some of the ugliest creatures of your own creation.

Fuck your Party, fuck your ideology, and fuck both of you. If you are remembered at all, it will be as cowards who turned your backs on democracy, on your country, and ended up in the dustbin of history.

1. Yes

They are very afraid, they have lost control of the beast that has become the republican party and it terrifies them.

2. This:

And you are nothing more than a terrified bunch of pricks, running for cover, while our country is under attack by some of the ugliest creatures of your own creation.

3. And if Trump were to become President? (God Forbid)

They would do everything he asked. Their days would begin by kissing the ass of the Fuhrer Trump. There would be no guardians to our Constitution.

If we wake up the next morning, after election day, and Trump has won the election, we can only hope that the Democrats have won the Senate? Otherwise, our nation is in very, very deep shit.

4. Many liberals I know in San Francisco and Marin County, CA. are

pricing out homes in Vancouver, BC. They are seriously scared to death that there are enough morons in this country to put Trump into the White House.

I don't agree with them. But then again ...

5. Trump must have told them to keep quiet?

He promised them something or paid them off! But you know, where all the Dems leaders, nothing out of them either? Only Joe & Kaine have said anything.

[Cyrano]

6. Many Dems have spoken out. No media coverage.

7. Because

that's their base

[Cyrano]

8. Yes it is. Here's one way to define base

Synonym for base: low, vile mean deserving of contempt because of the absence of higher values. base stresses the ignoble and may suggest cruelty, treachery, greed, or grossness <base motives>. low may connote crafty cunning, vulgarity, or immorality and regularly implies an outraging of one's sense of decency or propriety <refused to listen to such low talk>. vile, the strongest of these words, tends to suggest disgusting depravity or filth <a vile remark>.

Seems to me to be a pretty good definition of the Republican Party.

9. That too

11. Agree

10. Would like to add the Koch Brothers and NRA

Found this article a bit ago , may have already been posted it is worth looking at since it lists some of Koch 's key listings

http://www.pdamerica.org/about-us/national-staff/item/104-the-koch-brothers-reign-of-terror-how-their-great-wealth-is-buying-our-government

This part surprised me from article ....

"And, leaving no stone unturned, the Kochs also fund cultural centers like New York City's Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as serving as board members of PBS in both New York and Boston, where they have contributed funding to PBS programs like Nova. It should also be noted that their money and clout likely helped keep an unflattering documentary about them from being aired on PBS. "
