Republicans weaponize everything; they lie & use sabotage & mob tactics -imperiling democracy & the 2024 election.

Our politics has reached the point where if you try to penalize bad or even criminal behavior, you’re inviting a tit-for-tat cycle of petty partisanship at best -violent retribution at worst. House Rs' nakedly partisan initiatives & investigations remain fixated on Hunter Biden (never worked in his dad’s WH) & hellbent on impeaching his dad-.

The Bulwark · Impeachment Is Just Another Word for Getting Even. Thanks, GOP.By Jill Lawrence

@KimPerales

This indeed, the party of resentment and getting even… undemocratic to the bone…

@KimPerales has everyone forgotten Bill Clinton getting impeached as revenge for Nixon (even though Nixon wasn’t impeached?)

@KimPerales
They have carte blanche to be venal hypocrites. Their donors want the govt dismantled. Best way to do so is to perpetuate dysfunction. Kakistocracy erodes everyone’s trust in govt. Why bother voting? “They’re all useless.They’re all the same” voters will reason.

MGT, Comer, Santos, Gaetz, Johnson, Jordan are tools, in every sense. Menendez is just a happy accident. GOP donors know avg voter is unable to differentiate garden variety corruption from uselessness of GOP.

@KimPerales This was always the plan... easier to get away with things if any punishment/recourse is eroded
