The (Cowardly) Sounds of Silence

The vacuum of courage and fortitude within Congress resists the usual abhorrence of nature.

No Republican has risen to defend against the challenge to the Constitutionally mandated balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches.

Not one objection to the disingenuous narrative of billions in savings, the wholesale indiscriminate gutting of federal agencies and services for spurious, irrational reasoning, or the termination of dedicated employees and experienced military leaders for purely political theater or, even more troubling, to cement loyalty over duty to country and constitution.

Not one outcry at the administration’s intentionally ignoring judicial orders.

I doubt anyone will ever see their thirty pieces of silver.
But if they do, it will carry the same consequences.

Joe Broadmeadow

Instead, much of Congress kowtows to the administration’s proposed blatant bribery of uninformed or willfully ignorant Americans by promising to return money to the American people.

Using what is essentially Monopoly money from savings that are more smoke and mirrors than reality to buy silence and acquiescence. Taking advantage of selfishness and greed regardless of any consequences.

Just more business as usual for Trump et al. and his willing sycophants.

I doubt anyone will ever see their thirty pieces of silver. But if they do, it will carry the same consequences.

Since we are renaming things, we can rename the Judas Tree the Elon Tree.

  1. Joe, well said. Our only hope is in the citizenry standing up and saying ‘enough’! A few hopeful signs in recent town halls in deep red districts. As one woman said (to raucous applause) to her GOP representative in Georgia, “When are you going to stand up against this megalomaniac in the White House?” I believe in non violent civil disobedience. A time honored call to speak out and stand up for democracy and the Constitution.

  2. Disingenuous narrative, Is that elitist speak for lie? Are you trying to say that by not spending billions of dollars we are not saving billions of dollars? That does not seem logical. What it sounds like is that the Republicans are finally doing what both parties have been promising to do for the last century, cut government spending, and that you are attempting to deny their accomplishment. If you think that the billions that we are saving is not real, explain your position, don’t hide behind the latest multisyllable catch phrase that all the angry Leftist are slurring. Explain the “disingenuous narrative of billions in savings.”

    • There’s been no actual savings just much fanfare over what they claim is waste but is really police differences. If you want to see an example of effective cost cutting by Executive branch with Congressional cooperation look at the Clinton administration
