America’s Nine Years of a Double Standard

Democrats are cowards, and Republicans are liars and hypocrites. This is what it means to be a member of a failed political party. All political organizations are bad, some are just worse than others.

It is not an exaggeration to claim that all Republicans are criminals and care only about themselves and their party. The truth is, the once Grand Old Party committed suicide in 2017.

Democrats say all the right things but lack the courage to act decisively.

Where do these facts fit into America’s future? As long as our choices at the polls are between these two failed political parties, our country has no future.

The recent pardon of Hunter Biden by his father, the President of the United States, was courageous and the right thing to do. So why was Mr. Biden criticized by both Democrats and Republicans? You tell me: it makes no sense.

Hunter Biden’s alleged “crimes” are seldom prosecuted. This situation was a Republican witch hunt and an effort to hide their many crimes over the last nine years. Americans have accepted this double standard since the least qualified man in the world announced his intention to win the presidency in June of 2015.

Trump has committed at least one crime against the American people, and humanity in general, every day since January 20, 2017. No one cares. The Supreme Court and Moscow Mitch McConnell have proven that Putin’s Puppet is above the law. He lies constantly,  without shame, and ignorant voters believe him.

When I was just a boy, I listened to my grandfather and uncles. The consensus was that “all politicians lie, cheat, and steal.” The truth is that the situation is far worse today. Multi-term politicians learn to use the system for their own benefit, discarding the needs and wishes of the voters who elected them.

In just over a month a convicted felon, a confirmed sexual predator, the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America, and our nation’s greatest traitor will tell another huge lie as he takes the oath of office to become your illegitimate president. The fact that the most insignificant, incompetent, and self-serving man in the world will once again defile the people’s White House is unimaginable and unforgivable.

The America I remember over my 78 years no longer exists. The recent election, rigged or not, proves that the people are not worth saving. The American voter is the least informed in the world. Every member of the three branches of our government in Washington is corrupt, immoral, and surrendered their principles over the last eight years.

Sadly, most of you will never know what it meant to be a proud American. There is nothing positive about our country in the 21^st century.
