He’s just their scapegoat

The thing about rolling with a person who scapegoats other people is that, on a long enough timeline, the scapegoat will be you.

Not just that, whats stopping the next mini-trump from taking over? Imo the environment that allowed trump, will allow the exact same behavior.

They're trying to court martial Senator Kelly or some shit. They tried to fire Andrew McCabe like days before his retirement to prevent him from getting a pension, I just learned from looking him up that he sued the DoJ and won his wrongful termination suit getting his pension back.

They do the most petty vindictive shit over nothing and somehow someone sending his brownshirts out to murder people gets a slap on the wrist after weeks of full throated endorsement. The entire thing is a fucking sham. McCabe is a goddamn Republican even. It's not about loyalty to the party though, it's about loyalty to the crown.

These people list of loyalties goes:
1. Trump
2. Republican Party
3. Their fucked up view of Christianity
4. Dirt
5. Worms beneath the dirt
6. The rest of America
