Surprise, Boss Hogg’s Congressional minions are standing by him. Maybe cuz his Republican henchman can’t stand the thought of losing ‘their boy’ and their positions of power, that allow them to hold the purse strings to the US Treasury, where they can write checks to their buddies. And they don’t give a shit that he’s a criminal. Who da thunk?

 His most devoted partisans will only become more so following Thursday’s guilty verdict. Just as they did after the Access Hollywood tape, the impeachments, the Jan. 6 riot, stealing Top Secret documents, sending fake electors to steal the election and other examples too abundant to recount or, for many people, even to recall.
