Unfortunately, there's too much truth to the TIME cover below. In a few words, what we're learning in real time - for the slow ones who didn't see it coming - the GOP has traded what was left of their self-serving souls for access and flattery from their "chosen" one.
As spot on as the TIME cover is, for my money, this Salon piece nails it. What's happening now is only the beginning. A snippet from the article ...
... Trump assembled his coterie of sycophants and minions in the East Room of the White House, where like Stalin, Hitler, Caligula, Nero or some other autocratic fiend from the worst annals of human history, he promised that retaliation and destruction would be visited upon those people who dared to oppose him.
Trump again claimed that he was a "victim"; his heroism in the face of such great and evil opposition was the stuff of legend. As the Guardian reported, his speech "quickly turned into a screed against all of the investigations into his administration, starting with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. 'We first went through Russia, Russia, Russia,' Trump said. 'It was all bullshit.'"
Trump's court performed on cue, clapping, nodding their heads and smiling in approval.
So, yeah, this is only going to get worse.
Thank you GOP.
