Is this really too much to ask?
Trump’s Presidency will no doubt go down as the costliest in history, not only in dollars, but also in lives, and it is all mainly due to his lies. We’ll be paying for it for decades. (Although according to citizensforethics.org, we also actually paid Trump’s properties $620,709,659 during the four years he was President. Outrageous!)
For the party that is supposed to be fiscally conservative, Washington Republicans are the worst about wasting money, whether it’s the filibuster or other obstructionist techniques (like making the clerk read the entire bills out loud for hours to no one), or just their poor work ethic. Despite the fact that Congress gets more time off than anyone, its the GOP that have made it more than obvious that they would rather spend their work days doing anything but what they’re actually supposed to be doing: governing.
But what should really make all our blood boil is the fact that we are now actually having to pay our military to protect us from ourselves, thanks to the Big Lie, which is already going to cost us hundreds of millions of dollars in investigations, prosecutions, etc., for no telling how long.
Republicans could save us all a lot of money, stress and embarrassment, as well as prevent any further violence from happening, by simply telling the the truth: The election was not rigged, the election was not stolen from Trump, there was no significant voter fraud, and Biden won fair and square. Isn’t it ironic that telling this truth is just “too much” to ask?
