Well, actually only the nickname is changing. The party is often know as the GOP, short for the Grand Old Party. But recent events have led us to rename the party the GOD, the Grand Old Deniers. Here’s the reasons.
- Climate change denial. The party’s candidates for the 2016 election denied the notion of climate change. Of course, that’s from the Fake News Failing New York Times.
- Crime denial. According to the transcript of the Trump call with the Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the line about doing us a favor sure looks like it’s a request for a foreign government to aid the election campaign of the President. This was confirmed by many official. The party denies this is a crime.
- Crime denial (2). The Nixonian claim “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” has been debunked by legal scholars. Of course, we all know that legal scholars are a bunch of Liberal Elitists, except those who hold Republican views. They are right thinking Americans.
- Senate rules denial. Mitch McConnell said that he was not an impartial juror and was working with the White House on the Senate Impeachment inquiry. This appears to be at variance with the Senate rules.
- History denial. Lindsay Graham once called Trump “unfit for office ” but has since become a true believer.
There’s probably more, but let’s keep this concise. You’ve probably noticed that Grand Old Deniers become GOD. And the Republicans have become the party of God, at least according to religious conservatives who back the Donald. Didn’t Sarah Sanders tell us the God wanted Trump to be president. Rick Perry agrees. And it’s not just Trump appointees. Half of Republicans agree with her.
Party of GOD. Catchy name. Could go places.
