Tonight we're going to point out the STUNNING level of hypocrisy from Republicans when it comes to outrage.
Mind you, today we discovered Trump ordered a, Iranian military leader, from a country we haven't declared war on, to be assassinated while he was in a third country (Iraq). Trump and the Administration did so claiming they had HARD evidence this Iranian general was targeting US interests, but they've not come forward with said evidence to justify this almost unjustifiable action. Trump also failed to mention this assassination attempt to the Democratic leaders of the Congress, including the Speaker of the House, the 3rd most powerful person in government, even though they (once again) claim to have an iron clad case to conduct an assassination.
On top of that, a former Fox News host stated in a book she was openly propositioned by Trump during the campaign. This would be the 40th or so woman to claim sexual misconduct by Trump, a group of women who've been collectively dismissed as 'liars' by Trump and his allies.
Trump is speaking at an Evangelical gathering tonight where religious leaders will cheer him on. They will cheer him for assassinating someone. They will cheer him on for having yet another woman claim sexual misconduct against him. They will cheer him on even though he has children locked in cages on the US border, one of the most un-Christian things a person could EVER do.
Nothing. Silence. And I'm not even bringing up countless other things which should cause his most staunch supporters to turn on him. Heck, even Republicans who claimed to have 'valid' criticism of President Obama for his golfing and budget deficits are stunningly silent in the face of FAR worse behavior from Trump.
Let's travel back to a time and age when Republicans used to get triggered far easier. Tonight's Friday Link is The Daily Shows top ten Obama scandals. Date night, bowing too deeply, selfie sticks, latte salutes. We forget some Republicans were calling for President Obama TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE because of some of these made up scandals.
To be fair, if the same people ever held Trump to the same standard they held President Obama, they'd explode.
Have a good weekend everyone, and remember if Trump wants to get us into a war, make sure to tell his supporters only cowards expect others to fight wars they think are justified. Tell them to sign up their kids for military duty!
Don't expect others to die for YOUR causes.
