Benedict Arnold was a general during the Revolutionary War. His fame came in the Revolutionary War from his act of treason and betrayal to the United States. George Washington had trusted Benedict Arnold, and had Benedict command West Point. There, Benedict Arnold planned to surrender his army to the British, but his plot was discovered in 1870 and he fled to the British. He would eventually lead British troops in to battle, and face the very troops he was planning to surrender to the British.
I think it’s time to rename the Republican party to the Benedict Arnold Party, and Donald Trump is Dumb—Dumb Benedict. The actions of Donald Trump throughout and before his presidency, and the GOP’s actions and responses to Russian election meddling has proven they are traitors.
Republican senator Ron Johnson upon returning from a GOP-only visit to Russia said; “I’ve been pretty upfront that the election interference — as serious as that was, and unacceptable — is not the greatest threat to our democracy, We’ve blown it way out of proportion.” That’s party over country, that’s saying American’s cannot and shouldn’t trust their votes, you’re Benedict Arnold. To say it’s not our “greatest” threat to democracy, having someone elected that a foreign has aided and embedded, I’d say that’s pretty fucking serious.
Ron Johnson is right to say Russian interference isn’t our greatest threat to democracy, it’s called the Republican and Democratic party. The Republican party wants a tax policy that favors the rich, the destruction of labor and citizen rights, destruction of consumer protections, destruction of environmental protections, destruction of women and minority rights, which is why Republicans obstructed Judge Garland’s nomination to get two actual activist-judges who will partake in destroying all of those things in the name of big business. The Republicans are doing this, and the Democrats are just taking what they can for themselves too, which is why Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders haver popular support, but neither have anything else in common.
Kirstjen Nielsen, a Trump loyalist whose super power is separating immigrant children from their parents and family members, in May said she was “not aware” of Russian interference in the 2016 elections. On July 14, she told secretaries of states in Philadelphia that the Russians won’t infiltrate our elections with the “scale and scope” of two years before. This is your fucking secretary of Homeland Security America. Her reassurance for 2018, is like a parent going to their child at night and saying “don’t be afraid, there’s no boogey man, but the neighbor is a convicted-serial child molester.”
What were other Republican reactions to the indictment of the 12 Russian hackers?
The GOP twitter site posted a tweet with a video of Rod Rosenstein laying out the indictment, followed by a tweet that read:
“As @realDonaldTrump has been saying along: No collusion.”
The GOP Twitter page blatantly lied about the contents of the indictment. For example, in paragraph 44 of the indictment, the hackers were communicating with a person “who was in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump.” Maybe the person knew they were Russians they were communicating with, maybe they didn’t but to say “No collusion” can and should be considered so.
As I have written and podcasted about before, and will as long as this investigation goes. Trump and his people are morons, as presented by his own son Don Jr. and Trump adviser Roger Stone. Not only is Don Jr. dumb enough to tweet the emails of him colluding with a foreign government, but Roger Stone provided the same stupidity by tweeting “Trust me, it will soon the Podesta’s time in the barrel” (Podesta was cyber attacked by the Russian hackers), and “Wednesday@HillaryClinton is done. #WikiLeaks.”
Rudy Giuliani also wrote a dumb tweet; “The indictments Rod Rosenstein announced are good news for all Americans. The Russians are nailed. No Americans are involved. Time for Mueller to end this pursuit of the President and say President Trump is completely innocent.”
Paragraph 22 in the indictment, it states “on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third- party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign.”
July 27, 2016, was the same day that Trump asked for the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Amazingly the GOP twitter account, and Rudy Giuliani weren’t the most Benedict Arnold moves of the day.
As Rod Rosenstein was letting the world know about the indictments, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows was on the floor with an impeachment document for Rod Rosenstein. Think about that, as a man tells the world about Russian election meddling, a Republican was trying to get him impeached. You’d think it would be for a President who insults our allies, praises the man who tried to meddling with our elections, and has gone out of his way to obstruct justice for this man. Nope…
“Congress has been blocked today from conducting its constitutional oversight duty,” said Meadows, but the man who’s the chairman for the Orwellian named caucus, I doubt “constitutional oversight duty” is what this is about. If that was the case, you could go after Donald Trump for having conflicts of interest with China, and breaking the Emoluments clause of the Constitution.
Donald Trump obviously had his lame excuse (but not lame for Mark Levine and Sean Hannity I’m sure)—blame Obama; “These Russian individuals did their work during the Obama years. Why didn’t Obama do something about it? Because he thought Crooked Hillary Clinton would win, that’s why. Had nothing to do with the Trump Administration, but Fake News doesn’t want to report the truth, as usual!” I don’t know if Trump knows that you don’t get in trouble if the Russians meddle with the elections, you get in trouble if you were working with them meddling the elections. Not a bright guy folks, not a bright guy.
On Face the Nation, Donald Trump for the millionth time expressed to the world his utter-stupidity, saying “well, I might” when asked about extraditing the Russian hackers. Trump added "I hadn't thought of that. But I certainly, I'll be asking about it. But again, this was during the Obama administration. They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration." Hadn’t thought of it. Sounds a bit apathetic about it doesn’t he?
For Donald Trump, on Face the Nation, his “I hadn’t thought of that” was the least asinine thing he said in the interview. It seems that Donald Trump was making an attempt to have a world record for saying as many asinine statements in one television interview as humanly possible.
Here are some other things the fuck head said:
"Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe. Russia is foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they are a foe. But that doesn't mean they are bad. It doesn't mean anything. It means that they are competitive.”
"And I heard that they were trying, or people were trying, to hack into the RNC too. The Republican National Committee. But we had much better defenses. I've been told that by a number of people. We had much better defenses, so they couldn't. I think the DNC should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be hacked. They had bad defenses and they were able to be hacked. But I heard they were trying to hack the Republicans too. But -- and this may be wrong -- but they had much stronger defenses."
How saying the EU wasn’t the most asinine thing he said, is stunning. Maybe we should appreciate that America elected the dumbest man to ever hold a position of power in any time or place in human history, maybe I’m being too, ha! Just kidding. Fuck this asshole..
In reality, even if Trump didn’t purposefully collude with the Russians before the election, what he has done since could be considered obstruction.
As David Rothkopf, Editor and CEO of Foreign Policy Magazine wrote in the Daily Beast:
Trump may deny collusion. But given that this the attack continues, denying it is collusion, distracting from it is collusion, obstructing the investigation of it is collusion — because all these things enable it to go on.
The left is told to be civil, meanwhile, Republicans are systematically trying to destroy our democracy, and people’s rights (If you think gutting the voting rights isn’t a big deal, you’re an asshole and this blog site isn’t for you).
When the editor of Foreign Policy writes:
That the president is abetted in his aid for the Russians — again, in the midst of this ongoing attack — by the leadership of the Republican Party makes the situation all the more extraordinary and dangerous. As Republicans seek to undermine the investigation, they serve Russia as directly as if they were officers of the GRU. Some now reportedly seek to impeach Rosenstein on trumped up charges. To attack one of our national defense leaders as we are being attacked, and to do so to benefit our foreign adversary, is textbook treason.
Donald Trump is Benedict Arnold, only dumber and has smaller hands, and to the Republicans I say; fucking traitors! If you don’t want yourselves being called that, you can go ahead and WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP!!!!
