I avoid saying shame on Trump becuz he has no shame, no superego at all, only ego and what passes for id. But lots of Republican Senators do have superegos and evidently can feel shame, so WTF is it with them?? Have they no life outside public office? So I agree with @waltshaub

The state of the union is a chaotic mess tilting toward destruction. We are living out Trump’s personal dysfunction. Shame on members of Congress who privately confess they know Trump is a grave threat to the nation but who lack courage to stand up to him. Shame on them!

Marines in Afghanistan ask the USMC commandant what the drawdown means for them: “the honest answer is I have no idea,” he told them.

1. McTurtle has no shame either -- what do psychologists opine about him, I wonder?

2. Complicit Republicans both in Congress

and amongst the deplorable citizenry and rightwing media are as bad or worse than Trump. They either remain silent or openly aid and abet the madman in the Oval Office.

3. The safety of the people in uniform, along with the nation they protect,

is at the whim of the illiterate imbecile's tweets ...

Welcome to the Tweetlight Zone ...

4. Our soldiers lives

are on the line and repubs in congress could care less. They got their corporate masters their tax cut!

5. I'm all for getting our troops home

But there's no way Trump does it in an orderly or competent fashion. "The retreat became a rout" will be the story, and a lot of people will die because of it.
