As The Government Reopens 5 Stubborn Realities Greet Republicans

The following is just a small part of an excellent post by Jennifer Rubin in The Contrarian:3. 

As the government reopens, five stubborn realities greet the Republicans, less than 10 months into Donald Trump’s shambolic presidency:

1. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal has exploded with incriminating new emails that undermine Trump’s feigned ignorance about the pedophile ring and put Attorney General Pam Bondi in extreme jeopardy.

2. The job market has crumbled.

3. The affordability crisis is getting worse, with health insurance costs set to skyrocket absent a MAGA humiliating about-face.

4. The rich and Trump-connected are making out like bandits.

5. The increasingly decrepit president couldn’t care less about Americans. (In fact, he’s willing to maximize their pain).

The ramifications for this political landscape and the battle to recapture our democracy are profound. . . .

While Rome burns, Nero Trump fiddles and naps, deteriorating physically and mentally before our eyes. He shamelessly reiterates he does not give a damn about the American people. He denies there is an affordability crisis, wants to strangle the Affordable Care Act (with no plausible alternative), flaunts his disgusting taste(desecrating the people’s White House) and flagrant corruption pardons high-flying white collar swindlers and plans to plunder $230M from the Treasury. He not only does not know how to help Americans; he does not want to. He only helps himself.

After gleefully inflicting pain on the American people, MAGA Republicans are stuck defending their Epstein coverup and a politically wounded president, a rotten economy, a self-inflicted affordability crisis, their determination to jack up healthcare premiums, a reverse Robin Hood scheme that takes from working people to enrich the mega-wealthy, and defense of a money grubbing, corrupt, low-functioning president. Whatever Democrats’ Senate leadership difficulties, they have plenty of time before the midterms to hang all of that around Republicans’ necks.
