McCarthy has just announced he is going to have a House investigation into the D,A.'s investigtion and possible indictment of Trump. I guess this means that in every investigtion of Trump McCarthy will try and end it with an investigtion of his own. Has not worked yet and you wonder how far he will go to appease the MAGA troups within the GOP and Trump himself. To the right wing Trump truly is above the law and his peon McCarthy is there to try and insure that is true. Will McCarthy ever get off his knees?
I think one must realize that today we live in what I call the modern political era of polarization, the great divide and the super, mega, ultra-high partisanship. Most Republicans firmly believe that the democrats going after Trump in his two impeachments and the 1-6 committee investigation was purely political. That Trump had done nothing wrong. As an extension of that, the DOJ, New York and Atlanta investigations are also purely political. All being unwarranted in their minds, Trump did nothing wrong except defeat their queen Hillary Clinton. It doesn’t matter if the above is correct, wrong or indifferent, this is what they believe in their hearts. The Democrats have a political vendetta against Trump and are trying to bring him down by hook or crook. With the Democrats in control of the house, Republicans were powerless to do anything about it. Now they have the power and by gosh, they’re going to use it.
The first thing the Republicans did was open an investigation into Hunter Biden to decide if he used his father’s position and influence to enhance the Biden family’s wealth. At least that how I understand it. Now the Democrats are howling about an unwarranted investigation. Certainly, I think these investigations into whether or not federal funds were funneled to New York and Atlanta’s DA’s is an attempt to shut down those investigations. But what if federal funds were found to be funneled to both DA’s or just one? I don’t even know if that is against the law or not. I suppose it must be for the Republicans to open up an investigation or is just to show the Democratic power apparatus is doing all this for political revenge, vengeance against Trump not only pitting the power of Democrats in control of state prosecutions, but the power of the federal government also.
Living in today’s modern political era of polarization, the great divide, the super mega, ultra-high partisanship, nothing of this bothers me. I’m just sitting back, relaxing, drinking coffee watching all of this play out. What I want is Trump out of politics, how doesn’t matter. Indicted, arrested, in jail, exiled to Timbuktu, retires on his own to Mar-a-Lago free and clear, any and all other scenarios is fine with me as long as Trump is out of politics. I want a return to a previous political era where cooperation, compromise, playing the old political game of give and take is the norm. I’d like to see all of these ideologues go climb back into the rabbit hole they came out of, a government and political era of pragmatism returning. Where political campaigns are about substance, issues, policies, not 100% negative personal attacks where the idea is to get the voter to hate the other guy more than they hate you. Bring back some common sense to our politics, but that is way too much to ask for.
