The alarming thing is that none of these folks could’ve done anything without the support of panderers and enablers. Even if he were to go away tomorrow, the structure that put in there exists and will be more difficult to remove.
Yes, it's not Trump that actually frightens me, (although I will be happy to hear he's dead) it's thousands of men happy to put on an ICE uniform and brutilize their neighbors, it's my coworkers who say if Good had only complied, she wouldn't have been shot, it's the people writing up stories that sane-wash all this, it's whoever drafts these Executive Orders for him to sign.
Can we ever be whole again? How do we restore faith in a system that allowed this? We can't and shouldn't, we need a new system.
I wish someone could/would have the opportunity to ask them (SCOTUS) in public and to their faces, with cameras rolling, if THIS is what they truly wanted when they gave Trump virtual immunity fro illegal official acts?!!
I expect that they would say: "We worded it to not give him immunity, but keep him happy enough to avoid his threats." And as I have mentioned, i suspect significant threats.
No telling how many GOP congresscritters know he’s dangerously out of his mind, but the rest of the world’s elected leaders know damn well he is. Putin and Xi are laughing their asses off.
They all know that Agolf Shitler is insane. Every last one of them knows it. They have known it for decades. They even talk about it. Privately, of course. Publicly, they won't say one negative word about their Dear and Glorious Leader. They are too afraid of him. Besides, they eviscerated themselves, emasculated themselves and removed their own spines long ago. All because they convinced themselves that being in liege to a pathologically lying, malignantly narcissistic, psychopathic, criminal moron was their path to power and glory. Just as powerful men in Germany 90 years ago convinced themselves they could control Adolf Hitler, so these lickspittles think they can control the present-day version. We all know how that worked out in Germany, don't we?
Yes! The very guy who came to mind. The one who got out of being jailed for fraud along with his business partner by arguing that he was too stupid to know what was going on.
Tubesock thinks the three branches of government are the executive, the House, and the Senate so that him not realizing what a monster Agolf Shitler is comes as no surprise
Why does the MSM even bother to get quotes from the White House? They can just insert, “The White House replied with some more self serving crap.” True, accurate and saves time.
Not really related but I never understood why someone would willingly dig their own grave when ordered to do so. You know that they are going to kill you, so why not make them do the hard work? Unless you are like Judy “Deep Hole” Cooper from the show “Resident Alien” and think that they will be so impressed by your grave digging skills that they will spare you and hire you.
I voted less than one quarter because I believe almost all of them think he knows what he's doing and he's the bestest ever. Yes, my opinion of them is that low.
Wish someone would tell him about Nguema. I'm sure he'd be sorely pissed that a black man did his shtick first.
You're right, but there's the chance the president would then slash another aid program, and African people he doesn't know he's currently helping would then lose something vital.
I had to vote "more than half" because Congressmen were included. There are some really pitiful examples of "representatives" there. If it was just Senators, I would have voted "almost 100%."
Overlooked in most stories is that Trump hitting the EU countries with more tariffs violates the trade agreements he made with those same countries over the summer. In other words, these countries tried to appease Trump then only to have him violate his word and those deals in a matter of months. Why negotiate with him now? A firm no is the only response.
I don’t think Trump wrote that letter. There are too many multiple syllabe words, and they are all spelled correctly. Secondary evidence is that nowhere does he talk about the rigged 2020 election. The idiot can’t say three sentences without bringing it up. So I think his keepers wrote it. My question is, are we anywhere near the Weekend at Bernie’s chapter of this travesty?
I think Trump (maybe) and more likely those surrounding him are just boys playing at computer games...it's fun to shoot and kill and steal and overwhelm but shit it's just a game and they have no idea about IRL. How many, besides Elo;n Musk, are admitted gamer enthusiasts?
Love what Dip shit-in-Chief told the TIMES about his need to "own" Greenland: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success." Not surprising coming from the poster boy for obsessive materialism, who has shown the pathology almost from the day he unfortunately came into this world. Social deficits, the need for control and low self-esteem masked by narcissism --- all the tells are there in spades.
As for that substance stuck on the bottom of your shoe politely called "Congress" --- by and large its members of the party formerly known as Republican are third-rate minds and stone cold opportunists. They obviously figure if a like mentally and morally defective is in the White House they're safe.
The Missus and I are completely flummoxed by how far gone Lindsey Graham has become. Not that we ever thought much of him in the first place, but gawd -- what a toady. (And now that I've brought *him* up, where the heck has Nikki Haley flounced off to???)
What I suggest is get Greenland to allow him to rename its Jakobshavn Glacier and give him an award with lots of gold on it. That should do the trick. 'Course wouldn't expect Demento to remember that a number of people "landed boats" on what is now U.S. soil and claimed it for their countries of origin. Being a flagrant (and fragrant...) dip shit is one thing, being a terminally dumb one is off the dip shit chart --- into rarefied double dip territory.
Unfortunately, no, any kind of ass-kissing does NOT do the trick: even when Machado gave Trump her actual Nobel Prize, she failed to score points with him. When bullies get rewards (or reward-like trinkets), they don't calm down--they go "Hey, bullying works" and they crank things up. I just wish all those gift-bearing diplomats understood this basic concept.
I think the useless idiots in Congress (they aren't even useful) believe that they are getting what they want, along with things they don't want, by letting Trump run amok. And I suspect they believe that when he "goes too far", so that it starts costing them those things, they can pull hard on the leash and either stop him or dispose of him. I really don't think they understand what's going on, but they seem confident that they are the smartest people in the country and it will all work out for them.

I'll say it agaign...my GREATEST fear is that the next guy will HAVE to be Trumpier than Trump in order to get elected.
That person could actually know what thy are doing. And why.
But it's those left behind before the next election....
I agree. We need to take JD and the entire Cabinet with him
And the Supreme Court somehow.

To be fair, Sen. Tommy Tuberville probably doesn’t realize this. Probably there are a few others. 😢
I went for the "half of them" option because there are just so many Tubervillesque GOP morons, both in and out of office, out there.
Yes! The very guy who came to mind. The one who got out of being jailed for fraud along with his business partner by arguing that he was too stupid to know what was going on.

I have visualized "Tuberville" as a small town in Texas near a river. Likely close to San Antonio or Austin.
😱

Ouch. Is there an aid program he's not cut?!
I did not try to look that up. I was being hopeful. But you bring up another good point.

I think everyone in the Legislative Branch knows, but they're either scared or complicit.

He's actually self-analyzing?

Thr GOP congress know that Trump is waaaaay short of a functioning brain.
They're either (1)gutless buffoons
(2)in thrall to the same amoral tech bros and donors who put Trump in office
That Equatorial Guinea guy was almost as funny as Trump; and by funny, I don't mean funny.
Yes! That "the stupid Pol Pot" sets up all kinds of discordant notes in my head -- ranging from hilarity to horror.
