The R's are working straight out of the play books of Goebbels and Hitler, and every other disgusting tin pot dictator that has ever existed.

It bolsters their hateful and smug beliefs of arrogant self importance.

Or, as the Podcasters say on one of my favorite podcasts, "the Republican Party is full of Republicans."
Mean people with hateful beliefs and cruel actions.

That said, "trump did nothing wrong."

I just can't believe them, 8 years of lies and they still believe him. Unreal.
