Republican need to experience a Marley's ghost apparition.

Accountability is coming

Republicans will eventually learn about repentance, to atone for their complicity in supporting #TFG's cult!  Like seeing Marley's* ghost, they will be held accountable for their selfish behaviors.

Echo opinion letter published in the Penn City Current, an Iowa newspaper, published by Chuck Vandenberg. (Black and White and Read All Over! And Free, too! - Love the slogan!)

Republicans, like any common criminal, selfish child, or cowardly bully, wish fervently to avoid accountability for their actions. Their supporters will do everything within their power to see them accomplish this goal, including lie, rewrite history, develop selective memory, employ distractions, use “what-about-ism,” and invent false equivalencies. All of this is exactly what was going on for the entire Trump administration. We watched it play out in real time. There are five or more years of documentary footage and recordings we can review now to watch it all again. The effort to erase the events of January 6, 2021, is just a continuation of the Republican effort to avoid accountability. Democracy-loving people and their representatives must not allow that to happen.

Look at the Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, in the US House of Representatives. (Here he is with his ventriloquist handler!)
Kevin McCarthy also has a private ventriloquist! i.e., #TFG 

There is no breach of conduct, either ethical or procedural, that he won’t silently condone among his Republican members. But let one of his members speak, or even attempt to discover the truth about the insurrection, and he is quick to publicly punish them. Just ask Liz Cheney. He himself has said he will make it his mission to punish and even “shut down” those companies that agree to provide information to the Jan. 6 House Select Committee in response to requests or subpoenas from the committee.

Republicans who are (horribly!) promoting lies or disinformation are rewarded, those seeking or speaking truth are punished. No wonder the GOP hopes to avoid accountability. Sorry. 

Accountability, like winter, is coming.

*Jacob Marley's ghost: "The chain he drew was clasped about his middle. It was long and wound about him like a tail; and it was made (for Scrooge observed it closely) of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel.....'I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the Ghost. “I made it link by link, and yard by yard...',"

Iowa echo opinion calls Senator Grassley a hypocrite

An opinion letter from Iowa, published in the Iowa newspaper The Madison Daily Democrat ~ echo (MaineWriter sees hypocrisy in every Republican who called for the resignation of Senator Al Franken, while many, like Senator Hatch-R, have already made up their minds about Christine Blasey Ford.)
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford wrote a letter to request for an FBI investigation about her allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Opinion: A video from the Bill Clinton impeachment vote in the Senate showed a young Senator Chuck Grassley expressing his outrage that President Clinton would lie and how this offense was worthy of removal from office.

Fast forward to today and you’ll hear a different Senator Grassley. Now telling lies, meeting with the Russians to alter the election, and paying hush money to a porn star and Playboy bunny to buy their silence seem not to be important.

Why the opposing views on morality? Donald Trump is a Republican and the party comes before country? 

Saying shame on Grassley is a waste of time, because the man has no shame. He proved his lack of shame when he refused to allow Merrick Garland’s name to be brought up for an up or down vote.
