And they seem to be oblivious to the fact that damn near everything Don-the-Con does helps Putin and shames the U.S.

To be fair, some of them are just as effing stupid as a brick. Brain Mast, Republican from Florida, tweeted (10/13/19)

Happy birthday to the US Navy! To the men and women who serve to keep our waters safe, we thank you.

He included in his tweet a picture of a cruiser, with “Happy Birthday US Navy” superimposed.

Of course, it was immediately pointed out (on his twitter feed) that the ship is actually a Russian battle cruiser, identified as the Pyotr Velikiy.

The stupidity is mildly understandable: he is a modern Republican, and he was elected from Florida.

Trumpists either don’t see it or actually like the lawless, blustering, and lying as a way to behave. Secret bullies they are. And they seem to be oblivious to the fact that damn near everything Don-the-Con does helps Putin and shames the U.S.

To people outside of that despicable group, it is all too obvious, but with the Senate Republicans terrified of the current Republican base, there is little hope of an actual removal from office (which would only give us Pence anyway) but I’m hoping for a House of Representative impeachment that will tell history that not everyone was nuts and/or craven invertebrates in the U.S.A. of 2019.

What does it take for any person to be able to so clearly show that they don’t really have a moral core? (And note, it isn’t just the Repubs in power: the usual right-wing posters here do the same thing.)
