The Republican Party parade of rot proudly advances on all fronts

The Hill writes:
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign on Thursday after news that his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, emailed with conservative lawyer John Eastman, who was central in former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

In a statement on Thursday, Pascrell said Thomas “cannot possibly be seen as a neutral actor,” labeling him “a corrupt jurist.”

“Over the last few years, we have become numb to bad acts by powerful actors, but Clarence and Ginni Thomas have participated in one of the worst breaches of trust ever seen in our court system,” Pascrell said.

“Clarence Thomas cannot possibly be seen as a neutral actor but instead as a corrupt jurist who has poisoned the High Court. Clarence Thomas should have dignity and final respect for our democracy and resign,” he added.

CNN writes in an article entitled, New Mexico county commissioner who refuses to certify recent election results sentenced for role in January 6 attack:
Couy Griffin, a New Mexico county commissioner, ardent election-fraud conspiracy theorist and founder of Cowboys for Trump, avoided more jail time on Friday for his role in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.

He was sentenced to 14 days with time served, fined $3,000 and given one year supervised release with the requirement that he complete 60 hours of community service.  
Griffin, an Otero county commissioner, is still relentlessly pushing claims of election fraud, going as far as refusing to certify the recent primary results in his county, which the Justice Department cited to bolster its argument that Griffin should spend several months in jail. 

Cuoy, the happy boy, Griffin celebrates his non-sentence for 
treason outside a federal court house in New Mexico

Mental rot alert: See the hat on the right side there
Prosecute Fauci!!!
LOCK HIM UP!!

Prosecute Fauci!!!
LOCK HIM UP!!

There we have it rot fans. There's veritable a cornucopia of Republican Party moral, intellectual, judicial and law enforcement rot on display for your fun and entertainment. Clarence Thomas thinks he and his wife are valiant patriots instead of ethically-challenged traitors. That's moral rot. Griffin believes the 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen. That's intellectual-mental rot. The judge sentences Griffin to a paltry 14 days in the slammer, a $3K fine and some community service for treason. That's judicial rot. The DoJ asked for "several months" in the slammer for Griffin's treason. That's law enforcement rot.

This is more than a wonderful trifecta. It's a magnificent quadfecta, not to be confused with a quadrella, of Republican Party rot. Yes, that includes the DoJ under the thoroughly rotted rotter Attorney General Garland -- so far, he looks a lot more like a Republican than anything else.
