Classified document fiasco

Here we go, with just another example of why the Republican Party is currently loaded with hypocrisy and downright pathetic and trivial pursuits to help support Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda.

There is absolutely no doubt President Joe Biden should not have taken those important documents.

However , there is also no doubt the Republican Party will pursue revenge and divert attention from the root cause of the chaotic and poisonous political discourse currently at play. Of course the root cause is Trump and his enablers.

It’s beginning to look like Trump has again escaped accountability for his agenda of chaos he so dearly loves. Here again Trump’s MO has been used to escape accountability. Will he ever be held accountable for anything? I’m beginning to believe he will not.

Trump has followed his MO that is all too familiar and predictable. When confronted with an issue he follows this path: First he attempts to discredit the accuser, second, he conjures up a conspiracy against the Democrats, third he ties up the issue in the courts with endless and mind numbing appeals, and finally runs out the clock and the public loses interest.
