The more I see of what members of the Republican Party have done and are doing, the more it makes me question not just their goals but their sanity.
I showed earlier how bad, how poor some of the Republican Party candidates are presently in Kansas.
Kris Kobach Outed As A White Supremacist
Kris Kobach Admits He Violated
Ethical Rules for Attorneys
And then there's this guy, currently running for office in the state, in Kansas.
Roger Marshall was convicted of
reckless driving in 2008
And we can't forget good old Governor Sam "I Love Deficits" Brownback.
Now, in the midst of all this, in Missouri, there is this going on, famously, infamously.
We Missourians voted in a law to clean up our government so, what the hey? The Republicans created new legislation to---wait for it---undo our own wishes. Stunning.
And now, today, this just broke, nearly unbelievably.
Check this story out. It has to do with the two rich people who went outside their mansion a week or two ago in St. Louis and pulled guns on otherwise peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters.
Kim Gardner is the Circuit Attorney, or chief prosecutor, for the city of St. Louis. She was elected by the people of St. Louis in 2016 and assumed her duties in January 2017. She is the first African American to hold that position.
Trump and Parsons want to remove her from office because they don’t want her to prosecute the McCloskeys. Parsons wants to change Missouri law to give the power to remove her to the state government, somehow. Of course Trump has no authority to mess with elected officials of a state, never mind a city,. But it strikes me that for a state government to remove the elected official of a city flies in the face of the principles of republican (small R) government.
Then there's the fact that the Republicans are trying to dismantle the USPS, the Postal Service and have been for some time.
Now, the Trump administration wants statistics and health care data on and about and during this very killing, national and international pandemic to no longer go to the CDC.
The list of craziness from this man Trump, his White House, his administration and the Republican Party, over all, just goes on and on.
Insane.
You would think the insanity of this President, Donald Trump, would be enough but no, they have to add to it all.
