All of These Things

 “I wonder how the senators demanding due process will feel once Trump’s attempt to oust the acting attorney general is described under oath. Or how excruciating it will be to watch footage-like the 10 minutes of crowd-sourced video published Monday from Just Security — that Democrats are certain to submit as evidence.” (Hayes Brown/MSNBC Opinion Columnist)

"One of These Things" was a song regularly used on Sesame Street for sketches where viewers would be shown a group of four items, one of which was different from the other three, and they would have to identify the item which didn't belong. 

“One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn't belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others?
By the time I finish my song?”

 

Sadly, within the Republican Party morphing into whatever the current toxic stew, it has fomented, ALL of these things are the same; from INSURRECTION/SEDITION/FEAR OF TRUMP/TREASON &TYRANNY/DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY/CHIPPING AWAY IF NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION/AND OF COURSE SELF-SERVING SELFISHNESS. AND even worse, with perhaps the exception of a dozen and half members of the GOP, all of the MINIONS/CULTISTS/DOMESTIC TERRORISTS/INSURRECTIONISTS/ENABLERS are the same. No bravery, no love of country, no backbone, no conscience, no concern for the future of this nation, just their own political careers. These Republican clowns have decided to keep the Trump Circus Tent alive, available, and to gladly assist in the demise of democracy; well because, for them staying in power, means keeping the MOB BOSS, Donnie as KING! Am I afraid, you bet, do I see hope just around the horizon, NOPE! Will my values and morals, respect for justice and freedom fight off those who are JUST THE SAME, wishing and wanting destruction and divisiveness to define democracy? Well, for me, each day, that Trump is NOT held accountable nor his army of traitors, becomes one less day I can breathe!
