This is some mind blowing tape you’re about to hear but it’s not the least bit irrational. Not with what we have already seen and heard. The GOP paused for the briefest moment on May 30. The world collectively held its breath after the verdict of guilty on all 34 counts came down. What would be the blow back? What would the GOP do? Would they pick another candidate? Mitch McConnell made it official when he tweeted, “The charges should have never been brought and shortly after that Mike Johnson declared that poor Donald Trump had been misused and abused and that he planned to defund the DOJ. Pure batshit but you can expect worse, according to Marc Elias.
We now know Donald Trump committed crimes to win his first election.
We know that he committed crimes to try to overturn his second election.
We are five months from the next election. Why would it be any different this time? Except that now, the GOP is his willing accomplice. pic.twitter.com/1xEuAWMQG6

It would not surprise me. Here we go, all over again. Remember when Christopher Krebs, who was the Director of the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency said that the 2020 election was the “safest and most secure election in history” — and Trump fired him? I’m sure that we can expect the same on steroids because the GOP has made it crystal clear that they are all in for Trump. That’s why the nuttiness about “the charges should have never been brought.”
McConnell knows how all this works as well or better than anybody. He knows how a grand jury works and how indictments are handed down and then how jury trials take place. There was no malfeasance in any part of this process. But McConnell has to infer that there is or state the obvious, which is that the crook on the top of this year’s ticket makes Richard Nixon look like a shoplifter by comparison. Think of it, all he did was have some goons pick the lock at Democratic headquarters. He wasn’t stealing classified secrets, banging porn stars, inciting riots, or asking the governors of states to find him thousands of votes.
So McConnell knows, Johnson knows, they all know, but they’re on board. Here’s one guy that’s not. I wish there were a lot more of him.
Republican Former Lt. Governor: Donald Trump is a convicted felon. If you're a Republican like me, voting for Joe Biden gives us a chance to purge our party of Donald Trump as quickly as we can. You can't deny the facts. Trump slept with a porn star, lied about it, and paid… pic.twitter.com/7COuW0ksAi

The rebirth of the new GOP, whatever that looks like, cannot take place without the death of the old and that means pulling away from Trump and his MAGA fringe lunatic cult.
Whatever happened to Reverand Jim Jone’s special communion grape juice guaranteed to send one along to meet Jesus? Hey magats…why waste your time in this evil world? Just drink Jim’s version of the blood of Christ and move on to your just rewards! Do it before it’s too late! Amen. Glad to help the Devil’s…er…God’s chosen people.
Wow, brace yourselves for what’s coming! This tape is nothing short of mind-blowing, but considering what we’ve already witnessed, it’s not surprising at all.
