Bye Bye

July 18, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Well, it’s happening a little bit.  Just a little bit.

Elsa Alcala, a retired judge from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals who was appointed by Rick Perry in 2011, has seen the light.

She has left the Republican Party in total disgust.

“It has taken me years to say this publicly but here I go. President Trump is the worst president in the history of this country,” Alcala wrote last week. “Even accepting that Trump has had some successes — and I believe these are few — at his core, his ideology is racism. To me, nothing positive about him could absolve him of his rotten core.”

Rotten core is strong language. She’s appears to have been festering for a while.

I hope there’s a line behind her just waiting to parade out.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.

Be social and share!

    I also wish there were a line behind her, but fear that there aren’t too many others willing to take a principled stand like this.

    Sadly.

  3. So she and others leave. The cult is still there. The GOP died in 2016 and is replaced by the Party of tRUmp. The cult is still out from under their rocks and are being fed nicely believing THEY are the true patriots when they are the scum of the earth.

    Just remember, you can only ride a wave so far, then it collapse’s under you!
    We haven’t reached the crest yet, but it’s coming and then it will be downhill the rest of the way!

  5. Context!

    Everyone needs to recall that in primary season 2016 there were plenty of Republicans around that would say things like judge Alcala. Actually they said things much worse and much of it was justifiable.

    Today those very same Republicans are are some of Trump’s biggest boosters. They sit at feet with adoration eagerly denying anything and everything that is ever said slightly negative about him. Cruz? Graham? McConnell? Make your own list it isn’t hard.

    Another list not hard to make is the number of articles and blog entries that point out the obvious: Trump isn’t the problem it is the entire Republican party. Without the Senate support he is getting Trump would be little more than a pile of donkeyshit ashes for years now. And the Republican party is more than happy to re-elect those very same Trump shields over and over again as long as it means stiggint and more forced-birther judges and saving us from Hillary.

    So if you want to see how principled she is let’s see what Alcala has to say about the Republican party as a while. Based on similar cases in the past I am not too optimistic.

    These Sister Souljah moments are somewhat less impressive for recognizing what the Republicon Party has been since at least their launch of the “southern strategy” and thinking it’s only the ‘new’ Trumponian Party that is racist. Steve King is still sitting in the House. That shows how much Republicons ‘care’ about the Fourteenth Amendment.

  7. A thuglican for 20 years.
    20 years of anti immigrant ravings and kris kobach trying to prevent citizens voting. 20 years of bogus gerrymandering to minimize latino voters impact.
    20 years of infantilizing women as being too flighty to know what they want to do with their own bodies.
    20 years of thuglican rape defenders.
    One must ask is what is her moral, ethical and intellectual standings if it took her 20 years of blind obedience to an anti human party.
    Or is it like mafia chieftains who when retired and facing death turn to religion to try to wash away the sins of their personal history. Gonna buy a new roof for a church? After all that what the criminal heads did when they wished to buy respectability. She wants to show true conversion.
    make public every document, email etc from any thuglican or conservatives be they individuals or organizations.
    Denounce tricky dick as a criminal and deride the myth of him as a victim. Admit addled ronnie raygun was a disaster for the US and the world ( ballooning deficits, ignorance as a virtue etc). State clearly that perjurer poppa should have died in jail for his 5 or 6 years of perjury ( what diaries? oh you mean these diaries iran/contra) plus abuse of pardon power to stay out of jail.
    That the twit and his whole administration should be in the Hague for war crimes.
    Other then that it appears to be nothing more than a cheap attempt to find redemption with out serving any penance.
    After 20 years of proof of your moral bankruptcy, ethical deficiency and intellectual dishonesty from now on just go and serve your penance in silence and isolation.

    ps Oh and return every penny of the fraudulent earnings you took while serving as nothing more then a sock puppet for your political masters.
