"But i predict that the history books of the future will not celebrate. They will say this was the low point of the Republican Party."

This would be a prediction that won't end up being true, because there really is no bottom, and the GOP will find a way to have much lower points.

If they really wanted to follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, they should do like the Lincoln Project did, when they baccked Biden.

Ditch the GOP right now, en mass, while they continue to fawn over the Discolored Man's MAGrundle.

Leave the wayward cult party behind, with a vanishing minority that can no longer get its Filibuster up.

That'd send a message, no?

A little OT, but CNN just had a banner along the bottom of the screen saying "Cheney ousted for refusing to bow to Trump's Big Lie". At least they are being more honest now, just 5 years too late.

Or that lying is wrong only when you are under oath. In my opinion, repeatedly lying to 325 million people after repeatedly being fact checked is a much bigger sin, and violation of public trust, than lying under oath about a consensual blow job.

Me neither.

May this be the low point of the GOP. And may they never climb above it.
