No low the GOP won't stoop to

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. 

Yesterday a group of GOP congressmen stormed an impeachment inquiry that was being held by the House intelligence committee.  And I mean stormed.  And I mean they stormed a SCIF, which is supposed to be a secure room free of electronics where witnesses can be called in to testify in private with members of the committee (members of BOTH parties). 

But these asshats, led by chief asshat Matt Gaetz of Florida, stomped and yelled their way into that room to try and stop the deposition of Laura Cooper from the Department of Defense regarding the Ukraine scandal that brought us--finally--some impeachment inquiries.  But not only that, they brought their cell phones in to take video of the proceedings, which is, you know, really fucking illegal.  This had the blessing of both House majority leader Kevin McCarthy and the dickhead in the White House--and probably Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo as well.

To show how much we've fallen into an alternate reality, yesterday one of Trump's attorneys argued to a federal appeals court that while in office, Trump could literally kill someone and not be arrested, charged, indicted, incarcerated, whatever.  No, seriously--check this out. 

Trump, Barr, McConnell and all of the members of yesterday's asshat brigade think they are above the law.  To think they have whined for years about Hillary's e-mails, and yet here Trump is withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for them to investigate his mot likely opponent in 2020, Joe Biden and Biden's son Hunter.  And here are the asshats bringing their phones into a SCIF. Here are subpoenas being ignored and defied, with key witnesses being told not to testify by the Trump administration.

There is so much corruption, lawlessness, and grift happening in real time, and it's impossible to keep up with it all.  That is by design.  It's the Putin playbook, and if you really wanna see this laid out perfectly, try not to read this tweet thread from attorney Uncle Blazer without having your eyes and mouth wide open. 

This shit cannot and will not stand.  We need to tighten the grip we have on democracy more than ever, and to keep it away from Trump's BFF (and handler) Vlad.
