Trey Gowdy Is Now the GOP’s Elder Statesman/War Hawk. He’s Advocating WWIII, No Biggy

“There are decades where nothing happens, there are weeks where decades happen.” — Vladimir Lenin

We are certainly living in one of those weeks where decades happen. Absolutely. When you have a week where, as we pointed out previously:

• Belarus has become a nuclear state.
• Germany has chosen to re-arm.
• Finland and Sweden have signaled that they are interested in joining NATO.
• Ukraine has applied to join the E.U.
• Switzerland has broken its record of neutrality.
• Queen Elizabeth is contributing aid to Ukrainian refugees out of her own pocket.
• Facebook and Twitter have been banned in Russia.
• Journalists reporting anything other than the official Russian narrative of the Ukraine War can be imprisoned for up to 15 years.
• It’s not even permitted to call the Ukraine War a War. It’s a “peace keeping mission,” thank you very much.

When all this has happened in a week’s time, give or take a day, you know things are pretty wild.

So add to that this image: Fox News abandons its previous Pro-Putin stance and none other than Fox contributor and podcaster, Mr. Benghaaaaazi himself, Trey Gowdy, is the voice of the Safe Republican Daddy. Who else is there? Mike Pence is too controversial. Wrap your head around that one, but it’s true. He keeps flip flopping on kissing up to Trump and publicly disagreeing with him.

Mitt Romney has never been Mr. Foreign Policy and at least he’s got either the good taste or common sense to stay out of this particular issue. The last thing the GOP needs is the likes of Jim Jordan or Matt Gaetz getting too vocal about Ukraine, so the mantle of Republican authority and respectability has devolved to Trey Gowdy’s shoulders.

Here he is, still trying to look statesmanlike, all these years after Benghaaaaazi. And here’s the part you’re going to love: He’s talking about Sparta and Persia in 490 B.C. You can’t make this up. And he thinks it’s a swell idea if the U.S. goes to war directly with Ukraine — never mind the insane and obvious escalation that would entail. Um….Trey? One thing wrong with your 490 B.C. example. Sparta and Persia weren’t nuclear powers.

Interesting how these GOPers are all constitutional scholars and historians. Did you catch Madison Cawthorn last week when he was playing Roman historian and got all the dates wrong — and not for the first time? At least the bar for intellectual prowess isn’t very high in the GOP. Trey Gowdy is Winston Churchill compared to Madison Cawthorn.

Let us see what happens with Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and most of all TuckyoRose Carlson, now that this massive pivot has taken place.

After all, tomorrow is another day, the start of a new week, which may contain decades. At least Gowdy didn’t suggest involving Space Force. So far the only person idiotic enough to bring them up is Donald Trump.
