Perhaps there is hope.  Republicans impeaching a republican.  Baby steps. Hopefully you can drink some good bourbon this weekend and step back from the ledge for a few days.

There has been significant GOP pushback to impeaching him. It should have happened in January when the news he had committed numerous felonies broke. It turns out that many people in the GOP already knew about his assault and blackmail for more than a year in January, so it should have happened a year and a half ago.

Sadly, since Greitens wasn't a Democrat, the blackmail and sexual assault weren't enough for the GOP to stand up and do the right thing.

Some GOP did standup. The AG was one, there were others. Actual non-sarcastic kudos to them. That's why we are finally where we are today. Their outcry led to enough backlash that his campaign finance scandal that is just now breaking will bring him down a year and a half after his assault and blackmail was first known to other GOP power brokers.

They've known he's an incompetent, self-serving criminal for a long time, what makes you think they'll grow a spine now!

Nothing quite as ironic as high minded condescension about “spineless party” holding members accountable from the party of Ted “the swimming lion” Kennedy.

I don't know how to break this to you, but Ted Kennedy has been dead for a while now

Yes, then he photographed her while she was tied to the bar and told her he'd make the photo public if she ever said anything. Then she broke down crying and tried to leave. He wouldn't let her and held her in a bear hug while she cried. He then took his dick out and shoved it in her face while she was still crying. This was public news in January and news reports show that people in the GOP already knew for up to a year at that point. 

There are now campaign violations. Greitens had set up a charity for vets. He used the phone list from that charity to fundraise for his campaign and repeatedly lied about it. 

Now suddenly, the rest of the GOP cares. Blackmail, illegal production of revenge porn materials, unlawfully detaining and restraining a woman before sexually assaulting her. That's all cool. 

This piece of shit should have been ousted a long time ago and is only being ousted now because the stink is absolutely overwhelming in a party of already reeking amoral piles of shit. That's an accomplishment and Greitens is finally being recognized for his accomplishments.
