My Dear America:
Something is radically wrong with the Republican Party.
Its not as though the Republican Party was always a mild and considerate political party that always treated Democrats and other political opponents with sensitivity and kindness.
But today's Republican Party has truly gone off the rails and unfortunately there is no sign that I can see that it will be returning to the rather upstanding and respectful political party that it used to be.
I think that it is clear to anyone who is bothering to look at todays Republican Party that there is a Cruel Streak a mile long running through the party these days.
Its not easy to say for sure just when or how that Cruel Streak got started. Maybe it was just there all along and just got worse and worse with each passing Republican Administration beginning, of course, with the outrageous Watergate Criminal Activities of the Nixon Administration.
The cruelty certainly progressed with Ronald Reagan's outrageous conduct with regard to arranging with the Iranians through his Campaign Manager and eventual CIA Director, William Casey, to keep American Hostages in Iran from being released until after Reagan was sworn in as President. To add insult to injury, while Reagan claimed not to negotiate with terrorists his representatives bypassed the arms embargo with Iran and sold weapons to them using the profits from those sales to illegally fund the Cruel Right Wing Contra Army in Nicaragua who were fighting against the legally elected Left Wing Sandanista Government.
Certainly Republican Strategists Lee Atwater and Karl Rove turned up the cruelty quotient in the Bush Campaigns with their take no prisoners and destroy your opponents political strategies.
When it comes to Scorched Earth Political Campaigning, however, nobody in the Republican Party has come close to Donald Trump. Mad Dog Donald has left many a political opponent lying battered and bruised and out of the running in his time in politics.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump also carried his cruelty into his Presidential Administration as evidenced by his Southern Border policy of separating illegal immigrant children from their parents at the border resulting in hundreds of families which still continue to be shattered by this Cruel Policy.
The Republican Party seems to have continued to learn its lessons well about the value of cruelty in politics from the Republican Presidents of the past.
The evidence is still there in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S. and the world where families continue to hope to be reunited again.
Also in Texas a woman who needs to have an abortion to stay alive is not allowed to have one and anyone who assists a woman to get an abortion risks jail time.
Republicans have learned the value of not just winning elections but also virtually destroying one's opponent in the process.
Republicans have also learned the value of taking away rights and privileges including voting rights rather than providing rights and privileges to Americans which Democrats are prone to doing.
Republicans who continue to promote the politics of cruelty do not deserve to be voted into office but Right Wing Media Outlets like Fox News and others continue to present their cruel and unusual vision of life in these United States to their millions of viewers and although Democracy is on the line the Republican Party's cruel charade seems to have continued unabated.
Yes, my American Friends it certainly has become and continues to be a cruel world out there and no one is more aware of that fact than the American President, Joe Biden and his only remaining son, Hunter Biden.
Prior to the 2020 Election I bought a used copy of Joe Biden's Autobiography, "Promises To Keep" from Amazon and really enjoyed reading it. I found it to be very well written, interesting and revealing about the man who was at the time I was reading it running for President. I was a Joe Biden fan long before reading the book but I must admit that I became a bigger and more enthusiastic Joe Biden fan after reading it.
I think that what I liked most about the book was the fact that it revealed just how much of a Great Family Man Joe Biden was.
Clearly Joe Biden loves Jill Biden and his present day family.
But Joe also revealed in the book how much he loved his first wife, Neila Hunter Biden and his daughter, Naomi, both of whom were killed in a car accident in 1972. That same accident almost killed Joe's two infant sons, Beau and Hunter, who were critically injured in the accident but did recover with time and treatment. That fatal accident occurred just around the time that Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate and certainly dampened the pleasure that Joe should have been able to enjoy with regard to that accomplishment.
With time, Joe did recover and he has had a spectacular career in the Senate, as Barack Obama's Vice President and presently as President.
Throughout his Political life Joe Biden has continued to maintain a close relationship with his family members including his sons.
His Son Beau, like his father, became a lawyer, he served in the Armed Forces and was serving as the Attorney General of Delaware when his bright Political Future was struck down with Cancer.
Joe's son, Hunter, was very close to his brother, Beau and also seemed to be also on his way to a bright future prior to his brother's untimely death. Hunter was also a bright Harvard educated Lawyer whose future looked bright when drugs, booze and hard living interrupted that bright future. Hunter's search for big money has not only put his own life on the skids but it has caused his father big problems, as well.
Hunter Biden's problems have been front and center for several years now thanks to Republicans like James Comer, Jim Jordan and, of course Donald Trump having a field day trying to tie Hunter Biden's problems to Joe Biden.
There is no way, however, that Hunter Biden's problems relate in any way to the crimes of Donald Trump.
Clearly, what Republicans are trying to do by attempting to tarnish Joe Biden's reputation through amplifying and tying the problems of Hunter Biden to his father is a disgusting example of what kind of Republican Scumbags we have running loose these days in the halls of Congress.
Yes, Hunter Biden spent time as an addict and his behavior was reprehensible for a considerable period of time. But some Republicans are equating Hunter's activities with the Genuine High Crimes and Misdemeanors that were committed by Donald Trump.
Sorry. There is no correlation or connection between Hunter Biden's actions and those of Donald Trump.
Republicans seem to be super focused on putting Hunter Biden in Jail.
For What.
Hunter Biden, after years of inappropriate shameful Republican obsession with putting Hunter in jail have harassed the Trump Appointed Special Prosecutor in charge of Hunter's case to the point where he has caved and indicted Hunter for the crime of lying related to filling out a form for the purchase of a gun. He was also indicted for income tax evasion charges although the taxes were already paid before these charges were filed.
If Hunter Biden's name was Hunter Jones none of these charges would have ever been filed. He would not be getting investigated by Republican led Congressional Committees and these Chickenshit Charges would never have seen the light of day.
Hunter Biden is no fool and he can plainly see what Republicans are trying to do to him and to his Father. He has advised James Comer's House Oversight Committee that he is willing to testify to that Committee if the proceeding is televised. That way the Committee doesn't have a chance to distort and put their spin on Hunter's testimony. But James Comer has so far refused to allow Hunter Biden's testimony to be televised.
What was televised recently was Hunter Biden holding a Press Conference in front of the Capitol building in which he truthfully pointed out the Shameful and Offensive conduct of James Comer and other Republican Donald Trump Toadies. Hunter made it very clear in this Press Conference that his Father, Joe Biden has never profited from any of Hunter Biden's business ventures and that the only thing that Hunter feels that Joe Biden is guilty of is being a Good and Loving Father
Even the Republicans would have to admit that in America we don't don't put people in jail for that.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
