There are names written in American history books that will survive for hundreds of years. Most of us do not remember them, but historians and researchers will record their names for posterity. Names like James Wilkerson, John Walker Jr., the Rosenbergs, Aaron Burr, Aldrich Ames and Benedict Arnold are part of our history.
The new names will include people like Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Green and Donald Trump. One might ask why these people qualify for being a traitor to American history.
The reason is not only because they supported the “resurrection” and “big lie” in regards to Trump losing the election or because they do not support democracy or our Constitution. The reason that history will remember them is because when Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, which killed hundreds of innocent people, Trump, Green and Gosar were praising and cheering for Russian president Vladimir Putin and his diabolic invasion. And of course, their Republican followers did the same.
Hopefully, Trump’s financial supporters such as Sheldon Adelson, Timothy Mellon and Geoffrey Palmer will also be blamed for this stain on America’s morals. I hope those in office such as Mitch McConnell, Ryan Zinke, Jim Jordan and Paul Ryan will also be remembered as those who brought disgrace upon this country for supporting a wicked and corrupt president and his criminal activities.
The Republican party will always be remembered as the party who embraced and approved of criminality, immorality and wickedness to our generation.

Good, but you may want to update your knowledge of not-so-current events. Sheldon Adelson died over a year ago, and it is now his widow Mariam who helps fund the pro Putin wing of the Republican party.
