Ya'll been hearing a high pitched warble getting louder by the day? It's the sound of turkeys coming home to roost.
Must be getting close to Thanksgiving.
A lot of that gobble is coming from the conservative media echo chamber. Remember when conservatives honored military service? Today 'Thank you for your service' has been replaced by 'You serve the deep state'.
The cognitive dissonance for conservative veterans must be overwhelming. Of course, those are rare as turkey teeth in DC, so Purple Heart veterans are currently hearing another one of their own have their patriotism questioned.
The thing Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Sean Hannity and Rudy Giuliani have in common is not one of them have have worn a uniform of the U.S. military.
Neither have I, but the fact is if I questioned the patriotism of a combat veteran testifying under oath several veteran family members and friends would kick my butt. And they'd be totally right to do it.
There isn't much at all I agreed with the late Senator John McCain about. But what kind of person ridicules the experience of a prisoner of war? Think a Democrat who did that would ever be elected to anything?
The guy who did do that and occupies the White House anyway is a Republican.
So when facts show Cadet Bonespurs tried to get a foreign leader involved in our politics and it's a war veteran sworn to serve the constitution who reported those facts guess who isn't to be believed? The guy with over 10,000 lies or the one with the Purple Heart?
The turkeys in DC and the Faux News echo chamber say it's the guy in uniform.
There's a reason it's so easy for these anti-patriots to attack a service member who doesn't toe the line. It's because, deep down, they believe the military is for losers. The idea of service, to anything but their own self-interest, is as foreign as Thanksgiving sushi and cricket.
So in Trumpland, military heroes are now deep state mercenaries. Non-partisan career intelligence personnel are never-Trump activists. Actual high security information officers are leaking like screen doored submarines.
What you're supposed to believe is our intelligence is wrong that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, it was really the Ukrainians who framed the poor Russians for Joe Biden's son.
At least that's what I think you're supposed to believe, it's hard to follow these internet conspiracy theories.
Another guy with no military background, our own Senator Yertle, hasn't been quite so loud. He appears to be hidden in his offices deep in the muck.
He's probably coming to terms with the reality he's going to be stuck with protecting the most impeachment-worthy president in our nation's history while running for re-election in a state that just sent a loyal Trumpet home.
The Republican puppet master is suddenly more vulnerable than he's ever been. His approval ratings are lower than a mudhole and his main Democratic challenger is a female fighter pilot.
If he had a soul you could almost feel sorry for him. Gobble gobble.
