Colin Powell gets it. Condi Rice doesn’t.
By Jennifer Rubin
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...i-rice-doesnt/

Quote:
Powell indicts not only Trump’s rank dishonesty, racism and ineptness but Republicans’ refusal to do anything about it. His message is clear: Voting to keep Trump in office is antithetical to support for American ideals. He is under no illusion that Trump or his enablers can change. They must be defeated.

Rice remains willfully blind to the essence of Trump, to the impossibility of his rising to the occasion. Later in the interview she refused to embrace Mattis’s incontrovertible observation that Trump is the only president in his lifetime who does not even try to unite the country. “Well, look, I have enormous respect for Jim Mattis. And he’s a man of great integrity. He’s a patriot … What I want to speak to is the future and what we do here over the next several months.” Really, is it so hard to condemn what has been among the defining features of the current administration?

The politics of racial resentment come back to haunt the GOP
By Jennifer Rubin
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ack-haunt-gop/

Quote:
Trump’s lead among whites is down dramatically, his support among women and among college-educated Americans disintegrated. The presence of so many whites on the streets over the past couple of weeks provides hope that a majority of whites finally grasp the pervasive nature of systemic racism. Trump and the GOP should understand that means whites who refuse to buy into the “whites as victims” mentality and who cringe and cry at the sight of police brutality want no part of him. That is a formula for racial change — and a blistering defeat for Republicans.
Donny is toast. The GOP is toast. So sad that the Party of Lincoln has become the party of racists and uneducated fools.

As his support dwindles Donnie will get more and more desperate and that makes him dangerous. He's all about image. The image of him loosing is one he can't stand.

Did Ted Cruz Say Democrats Wanted to ‘Arrest Churchgoers’ but Not ‘Looters’?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cr...goers-looters/

Yep. Sad that this former Trump hater has become an idiot Trumpkin, though Cruz has long been a fool.

He's conflating looters with demonstrations to smear Dems.
Cpt. Obvious.

Der Fuehrer's tweet on protester sparks GOP backlash

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...s-gop-backlash

This rant was over the line for even some Repubes (the few with a shred of a conscience remaining).

Talking

Way back when this madness that is the tRump administration began I said at some point the GOP would turn on tRump to save it's own hide. I might just be wrong.

Thanks for the greeting Don. Was glad to read a while back that you removed yourself from densely populated NYC.

I just like to tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may.
