Our Representatives bow down to Trump

My current read is “Patriot,” by Alexei Navalny, who courageously tried to save Russia from Vladimir Putin’s dictatorship.

That raised at question: Who is currently the U.S. patriot playing the same role as Navalny was in Russia? I immediately thought of former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney and her courageous dedication to saving our democracy from wannabe dictator President Donald Trump.

At the bottom end of the courage scale, my recent read was the Aug. 18 Time magazine featuring Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Notably, our former Republican U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and her successor, Republican Rep. Michael Baumgartner, are implicated because McMorris Rodgers nominated Johnson for speaker and Baumgartner has fully embraced Johnson’s conspicuous cowardice.

Johnson appeared on the Time magazine cover with the label, “The Survivor”, having survived as House Speaker by the blessing of his idol Trump.

Johnson and Baumgartner claim to be Christians, but their worship of Trump violates one of the Bible’s 10 Commandments: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
