Mob rule is mob rule, even when it's waged by members of Congress. And a filthy mouth is simply that.
A filthy mouth.
"We're gonna' impeach the mother****er." That filthy mouth belongs to a newly-elected member of Congress. And those were the first words spoken by Rasheda Tlaib (D-MI) after she was elected.
She was talking about our president. And newly-elected Rep. Mitt Romney (R-UTAH) followed suit, writing an Op-Ed for the Washington Post critical of President Trump.
The meandering Op-Ed only served to reveal that Romney, as John McCain and Hillary Clinton before him, is a sore loser. He didn't win. The presidency. And he wasn't chosen to be Trump's secretary of state.
Tlaib and Romney demonstrated a gross lack of dignity, as elected representatives of our country. And it makes you wonder: "Who in the world elected these two?"
As to their moral character, is this the way Islam and the Mormon religions work?
Who cares when Snoop Dogg says "mothers***er?" But when it comes to a member of Congress, it should matter.
This week the Dogg grabbed his fifteen minutes by telling government workers affected by the shutdown, "If you all vote for him after this, you're some stupid mother***ers." Who cares what a rapper says? But there's something more disturbing about Tlaib. It has to do with misplaced loyalties.
She's been clear. Her loyalty lies with Palestine, the country she replaced for Israel on the map she hung in her new office.
She is a mentor to Linda Sarsour, the Muslim advocate for Sharia law. The woman who has close ties to Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan.
Tlaib supported terrorist Rasmea Odeh, a member of the terrorist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who was convicted in 1990 in Israel for a bombing which killed two university students.
Tlaib, like Ocasio-Cortez and newly elected Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is anti-Israel, anti-Trump, and pro-impeachment, to the exclusion of all other legislative concerns.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out there is a Constitutional crisis happening before our eyes. The Trojan Horse was nothing compared to this.
Those who love their country, as it is, are now faced with groups that hide and subvert their true motives.
These groups endeavor to insert themselves into the political arena, never fully disclosing who they are, or what they want for this country.
It is a movement designed to abolish our Constitution, little by little. It's already begun with a push to abolish the Electoral College. It's the only way they can get elected.
And twice-defeated Mitt Romney is in there pitching for the other team. He should know better. He should do better. But he doesn't. And because he doesn't, the Liberals love him.
"On balance," Romney wrote in his Op-Ed, "his conduct over the past two years, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office."
And Romney should know?
He mentioned a "divided, resentful and angry" nation, and blamed it all on Trump. Not Obama.
He said the president's "qualities of character," are "where the incumbent's shortfall is most glaring."
And as all good losers do, he gave advice. "To reassume our leadership in world politics," he said, "we must repair failings in our politics at home."
Did he miss Trump Draining the Swamp?
The exposure of the Deep State? The politicization of the FBI and the Department of Justice during Obama's tenure? Hillary's duplicitous acts while secretary of state? Restoration of the balance of trade? Falling unemployment numbers? And that the EU is hanging on the ropes. Not the United States. Trump did that.
His Op-Ed was embarrassing. And yeah. Liberals loved it. Just like they loved McCain when he went Democrat. If Romney had been as critical of Obama during the debates, he might have won.
As Trump said, Romney had a chance to beat a failed president, but he choked. And Trump didn't.
Although it might be crass to say, we pay these people's salaries.
Tlaib and Mitt will receive a $174,000 paycheck, for opposing a sitting president and trying to impeach him.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will now receive $223,500 in her new job. She started the job by vacationing in Hawaii during the government shutdown; by sending her and Schumer's aides to a meeting with Vice President Pence regarding the shutdown, neither of them choosing to attend. Later, when interviewed, she giddily offered the president $1 for the Wall.
Like it was a game.
And Never-Want-to-Let-It-Go Speaker Paul Ryan had his priorities, too. He announced he was leaving 14 months ago, but he didn't. Leave. He held off until January so he could income average the speaker's salary for three consecutive years, to bump up his pension.
They don't come to work. They don't take their work seriously, and here we are, paying through the nose for all of it.
As Billy Joel put it, "Is this all we get for our money?"
Hold the line, America.
Where We Go One, We Go All
