18. Moral Courage
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 05:15 AM
Oct 9

The Republican Congress and Senate is comprised of idiotic fools, cowards, traitors, liars, crazies and scumbags. There is nothing redeeming about their willful ignorance, indifference and self-serving greed. She is still one of them. But something seems to have changed. She doesn't just disagree with Trump on Isreal/Gaza, she speaks passionately against the obvious Genocide taking place and actually seems to see and understand the horror. It wasn't Chuck Schumer or any of our other feckless democrats that introduced a bill to defund Isreal's iron dome instead of helping pay for the atrocity. She doesn't just prefer the Epstein files to be released, she is actively fighting for the victims and not wavering in her demands to release.

As a liberal democrat it is amusing and disheartening to see MTG and her diseased brain more accurately perceive, more truthfully articulate a position against the Gaza Genocide than our senate minority leader. Why do I think we can count on her not to cave on healthcare more than some of the turds in the Democratic Party that caved on the first opportunity to shut down the government. Dare I call it what RFK articulated as Moral Courage?
