Trump's $12 billion bailout for farmers hurt by the trade war he started because it would be easy to win is the final nail in the GOP coffin.
So from now on:
* No more stories about Republicans being the party of fiscal caution, let alone expertise. Also see, Paul Ryan, trillion-dollar deficit, etc.
* Ditto about Wisconsin Republicans who are throwing $4.5 in taxpayer money to a foreign company at the cost of additional depletion of already-strained state transportation dollars. Not to mention also the damage done to flood-mitigating wetlands, fresh water and clean air. More about that, later.
* And let's make sure the GOP is challenged if it hauls out sanctimonious tripe about being the party of law and order, what with a president who seized and jailed thousands of children and innocent adults at the US southern border.
And who makes secret payments to cover up his infidelities, uses a family foundation as a persona piggy-bank, cozies up to dictators worldwide like Putin whose menacing, lawless powers he longs to exercise, and stuffed his Cabinet with corporate puppets at HSS, EPA and Interior who broke or ignored ethics rules and standards they were duty-bound to follow and enforce on their subordinates.
* And whose US Attorney General provided misleading answers during his confirmation hearing and just smirked his way through a "lock her up" chant with high schoolers he should have lectured about American democracy and the US constitution.
* And whose Wisconsin counterpart had no problem quickly minting self-serving commemorative coin handouts with taxpayer funding that touted his dedication to work, yet is dragging his feet testing rape kit evidence and is campaigning as an opioid abuse crusader while the state leads the nation in new opioid emergency room admissions.
And from all Wisconsin Republicans, let's have a moratorium on campaign ads and self-serving photos like this one from Walker's Twitter feed showing him 'fishing' with his pole held upside down
while pretending they have any true respect for Wisconsin's environmental beauty they, like the rest of us, have inherited and should be resisting, not shrugging off as mercury and phosphorous and manure poison our waterways, or selling off land and legacy water rights to well-placed donors or out-of-state companies.
Wisconsin Republicans and the Trump team which is copying our Walker-era environmental contamination and sell off are neither stewards of the public treasury, guardians the law or protectors of our clean air, water and lands.
They always have the public sphere and interest in their sights, aiming to deploy across all three branches of the government, and every level they influence the 'chamber of commerce mentality' which Walker pledged to establish at what had been a science-and-conservation-directed Department of Natural Resources and which, whenever he can, coordinated it with other agencies as disparate as the Department of Administration and the purportedly-somewhat-independent Wisconsin Natural Resources Board.
* They don't even believe anymore in what had been bedrock Republican guideposts like local control or private property rights.
* And hearing Walker claim to be the education governor is as nauseating as the phrase 'Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education.'
These Walker-Trump Republicans are 'conservatives' without a shred of interest in conservation, and are fiscal managers of public money they control with more in common with Bernie Madoff while making off with your money instead of minding it for the public good.
