Politics-What's on your mind?

This has all been done before...

As per the prophetic Mel Brooks film, A History of the World: Part I (1981)

Mel Brooks, as Comicus, says:

"Politics, politics,
politics, politics!

Politics! Yes!
The Roman Senate.

The Roman Senate
is the best legislature
that money can buy!

Corruption starts
in the streets
with the little peddlers.

They bribe an assemblyman,
he bribes a councilman,

the councilman bribes
a senator, and the senator...

It goes all the way
to the Emperor!"

You see, history has truly repeated itself!

The above quote starts at @ 1:57 in the following excerpt from the film:

Donald Trump Jr. posted a picture on Instagram calling Sen. Mitt Romney a “pussy” after Rommey announced that he would be voting to convict Trump on one of two impeachment charges.

The picture featured Romney wearing high-waisted jeans, and was captioned: “Mom Jeans, Because you’re a pussy.” “Mitt Romney is forever bitter that he will never be POTUS. He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now,” Trump Jr. ended his post by calling for Romney to be expelled from the GOP for being part of “the resistance.”

Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree!

Trump attacked his political rivals at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, just hours after his acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial — charging that they had inappropriately invoked "their faith as justification" for calls to remove him from office. The dig appeared to be directed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who have both referenced religion as they explained why they believed Trump needed to be impeached, though the president did not specifically mention the lawmakers by name.Pelosi struck back at the president during a news conference in the Capitol, telling reporters Thursday morning that she found his statements to be "so completely inappropriate" and chiding Trump for "talking about things that he knows little about: Faith and prayer."

Yet Trump has the nerve to call Schiff and Pelosi 'vicious' and 'horrible' people?
