In Too Deep

There's an old saying attributed to Will Rogers, "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."

Apparently, the Republican Party never learned that lesson.

They continue to spread Trumpie the Clown's Big Lie.

They refuse to sanction an investigation into the insurrection on January 6th.

They encourage fake election "audits" in various states.

They keep lying....about everything.

These are all losing gambits.

And yet, they persist.

Why?

Because, like criminals everywhere, at some point they find themselves in too deep to stop.

For many years, the Goons on Parade party has been run like The Mob, complete with an omerta.

They've taken huge, yoog, amounts of money from various sources--including the Russian government. And people don't give you that much money and expect nothing in return, now do they?

They've undermined our alliances with our allies and encouraged our enemies.

Practically every Republican in Congress has been tainted. 

Practically every Republican in Congress is complicit.

Their crimes are so many, and so antithetical to American Democracy, that were they all exposed, the Republican Party would quite simply cease to exist.

There is no turning back from this sort of, oh, let's call it TREASON.

So, best to keep digging. Keep shoveling as much shit as they can, to try and confuse the issues. Keep bleating about "unity" and "bi-partisanship", words that to a Republican mean "keep doing what we say and no one gets hurt."
