I'm shocked, shocked that McConnell and Boehner might have double standards. I firmly believed they had no standards at all!

I really don't think Boehner gets enough credit for helping to bring the GOP down the road they went just because he liked to get drunk and high after he stepped down.

To be utterly and truly without shame is the key superpower of the Right. Helped along by a generally supine press (not you).

They guy correctly identified Trump as a huge threat to America post-J6. And just endorsed him to lead the nation in 2025. McConnell is a moral vacuum.

The guy who angrily said Trump was responsible for January 6 and then endorsed his candidacy for president? No way! /s

The moral pole star of the right: Good and bad, right and wrong, are determined exclusively by who and what you are (or claim to be, or are perceived to be), with zero regard to what you have or haven't done.

This is why most Americans do not trust our institutions. We learned from VNWar, Banking crisis, “The Great Recession “ our institutions failed most of us and seem to actually work to impoverish and bury, rather than lift up and support. Capitalism or subjugation?

McConnell/Netanyahu decided that giving Obama the finger was good domestic politics for both of them. They chiseled away at decades of bipartisan US support for Israel. Just one of many ways they helped create this moment.

For Republicans rhetoric is a weapon for attaining power, not a tool for arriving at truth.

This is also why I dont feel like criticism of Biden for Israel is quite realistic. Bibi is obviously aligned with Republicans and will do what he can to damage Biden.
