Once again the U.S. Capitol Building has been occupied by a traitorous mob of Un-American seditionists determined to overthrow the Constitution which forms the basis of our Democracy. For the second time in two months a mob of traitors has assembled within the walls of the Capitol Building itself, to desecrate the foundations of democratic government. The felonious mob that assembled in the Capitol on January 6, 2021 wreaked havoc through property destruction and loss of life. Their sedition was brief and promptly faded away as the cowards that they were quickly slithered back under the rocks from which they had emerged.
But today, the Capitol is once again occupied by traitors. Traitors who have determined to abandon their oaths of office, to abandon the Constitution, to abandon their Country and its Democratic principles. These traitors pose a much greater threat to the United States than did the slime which covered the Capitol floors on January 6th. Slime can be quickly washed away, and forgotten. But this collection of vermin is different. These rodents are supposed to wash away the slime. Instead, the group of Trumpublicans currently occupying the Senate Chambers will continue the stain on the United States by their boot licking fealty to a failed dictator, Donald Trump. The stain left by these traitors will continue. On January 6th, the Capitol was stained by riotous outside extremists, who will soon be incarcerated and duly forgotten. But the stain of the traitorous Trumpublicans is from the inside of the Senate itself. It will last beyond their terms in office and remain a stain on their institution, and themselves, into history. They have chosen fealty to The Big Lie over their nation and its institutions. Their shame will last forever.
It would have been less obvious that they are seditionists and members of an organized crime system had they defecated all over the Senate floor like their insurrectionist friends. I hope that the threat to investigate RICO violations happens and it scoops up a bunch of these--I try hard not to use expletives in these posts but the word rhymes with "othersmuckers".
They’ve earned the privilege of being vilified. Some of them many times over, like Brit-for-Shains-in-Chief. Off-line I am not kind to that fat balding . . .
They are people without a country, in my humble opinion. And Seditionists should also be stripped of their voting rights, their weaponry and their ability to run for any kind of public service.
As a resident of the North Carolina coastal plain, a swampy low lying land, the term “drain the swamp” is unfair and uneducated. Swamps are natural, fragile ecosystems that do have purposes that are not apparent to the untrained eye. Swamps absorb excess water during heavy rains and give birth to much life, just to name a few. “Draining the swamp” is a developer term implying that the swamp and its inhabitants are of no value. These Retrumplicans are an insult to the creatures of the swamp.
Jennifer, I couldn't agree more. I mean no disrespect to the magical swamp, and apologize profusely if it came across that way. I didn't coin the term, of course, but perhaps shouldn't have used it in this case. I too live in what I lovingly refer to as "the holler", the lowest lying area around, on a smallish river that is pure wetland as it passes through "our backyard". We see heron, otters, beavers, muskrat, deer, occasional moose, bobcat, all of which depend on this specialized ecosystem draining the surrounding forest. And that's what we CAN see. Thousands more species support and are supported by this ecosystem.
Much love and praise to genuine wetlands. "Drain the swamp" is common parlance as a metaphor and symbol. Everyone knows the Creature From The Black Lagoon isn't real, but it still makes us shudder.
Marshes and wetlands, the natural ones, are gifts of great beauty. The "swamp" of pollution and corruption in politics is a metaphor, as you know, of an evil and nasty smelling sewer. Sewage tank, not swamp.

When I asked my brother if I could share, he said, "it's not copy righted". So, yes, feel free. I thought it was pretty much spot on. TC probably has more outrageous adjectives but my brother did well i think!
Not my prose, but my brother said I could share.

Fothermuckers. They're shull of fit.
There's life in the old Rev. Spooner yet, I see!
😂 yes to RICO!
Bumscag nasty shieces of pit
Linda, TPJ, and Roland, you're my kind of folks! Mitzi, I love your solution.
Big smile 😊

Off to wash my mouth out with soap.
With all of your clever wordsmithing, there's absolutely no need!
Nothing wrong with accusing them of being shull of fit. You’re good. I can come up with much filthier.
The Big Lie by the Party of Sedition. We need to use the correct language all the time.
Love..." the Big lie Party of sedition" republicans have a new name
To me it is the Repugnant Party. They have nothing to do with a republic.
They are people without a country, in my humble opinion. And Seditionists should also be stripped of their voting rights, their weaponry and their ability to run for any kind of public service.
The Grand lie.
GOP no more. It’s GOS. Grand old Seditionist.
GQP or QOP too. POS works too, Party of ....
They will forever be known as The Sedition Party.
Instead of "draining the swamp", he brought the swamp right into the seat of the peoples' government, and all its branches.

And wetlands used to be vigorously protected by EPA. I doubt that is the case since the Orange Menace gutted it, though.
True, Nancy. Everything got worse under 45. Nothing got better.

What a wonderful book! Loved it.
But it would be beneficial to the swamp's ecosystem if all Rethglicans were evicted, wouldn't it?
Yes, it would!

Trump and the rethuglicans turned the swamp into a toxic waste dump.
Yeh! Okefenokee for ever. May he drown in it or be gobbled up by "gaters".
Thank you for this. Would it be ok if I shared it?
When I asked my brother if I could share, he said, "it's not copy righted". So, yes, feel free. I thought it was pretty much spot on. TC probably has more outrageous adjectives but my brother did well i think!
He sure did! Spot on!!!
I thought so, too, and was going to ask also. He is spot on!
Thanks, Lynn. Looking forward to more from your brother AND you.
Forever!
BLF. Boot licking fealty. 43 Republican Senators.
