Hypocrisy and Extremity

Republicans are hypocrites.  Big fat giant hypocrites.

I'm going to try reining in my desire to go off on rants and just focus on one or two topics at a time.  But let's be real here--Republicans feel like they have the keys to the candy store, and they don't give a shit that they're about to inflict pain on any Americans that are not wealthy and/or extreme and powerful GOP players.

You want hypocrisy?  President-elect Donald Trump, and Michael Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor, think Hilary Clinton should be in jail because she had a private e-mail server and because she was accused of leaking classified information.  Meanwhile, Flynn had a private e-mail server when he worked at the Pentagon as chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency.  And Trump considered David Petraeus for Secretary of State.  This one's a beauty, because this was Hilary's position from which she is accused but not found guilty of, you know, e-mails.  But Petraeus actually gave classified info to his former mistress and hid it in the walls of his house.  He pled guilty to this and was convicted.  So why is it okay to have an actual criminal in that position but not one that was proven innocent (I'm not defending her completely, but I'm just pointing out the sheer hubris of the Republicans).

We find out that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell wanted the classified info about the Russians hacking the election stay classified, and lookie here....his wife Elaine Chao was given a cabinet position by Trump.  Meanwhile, the whole thing about Russian hacking to help Trump get elected is utterly terrifying.  If that was something done to help Hilary, those two-faced bastards of the GOP would be all over her.

Speaking of which, Jason Chaffetz, head of the House oversight committee, had planned on more and more investigations into Hilary had she been elected, but is in no rush to investigate Trump for all of his ridiculous and blatant conflicts of interest, because he hadn't even been inaugurated yet.  Really? But would he give Hilary that same courtesy?  Absolutely not.

With every cabinet pick, I become more and more terrified.  But the one that is Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson being the pick for Secretary of State is the worst by far.  He and Vladimir Putin are tight, just like the hilarious SNL skit last night portrayed (yes, Donald, it's fucking hilarious).  Between that and all of the pro-fracking, pro-oil, anti-clean energy extremist picks in the incoming cabinet, spells trouble for climate change research and let's be honest and just a little hyperbolic here--speeding up the end of the world as we know it.  That's not to say of course that having a dumbass in charge of our country doesn't spell doom in any other number of ways, but this is just way over the top.  Oh and having The Weather Channel's Kait Parker debunk a Breitbart story about the earth not warming is extremely therapeutic.

Every pick for that cabinet or everyone being considered are all extreme right wingers.  Are you people that voted for Trump okay with that as well as everything I just wrote about here?  Or are you starting to worry as well?
