Everything that they do that they know is important-- whether it's filing official papers or keeping secrets or doing your job without doing politics or planning for the economy and national security-- Trump cares NOTHING about. He's openly antagonistic to them doing a good job.

This general is probably going to be fired now, or relocated, because just like the weather pros in Alabama, he says that the president should shut up.

10. Old Phrase New Phrase memo

Old Phrase New Phrase memo,

It has been brought to the management’s attention that some individuals have been using foul language in the course of normal conversation between employees. Due to complaints from some of the easily offended workers, this conduct will no longer be tolerated.

The management does, however, realize the importance of each person being able to properly express their feelings when communicating with their fellow employees. Therefore, the management has compiled the following code phrases so that the proper exchange of ideas and information can continue.

18. What would impeachment do to stop him?

And how would making him feel like a cornered animal be good for the country, considering his state of mind is a national security issue.

And what good would come to this country would come from handing the GOP the Senate and possibly the House in 2020?

Why do you think that the GOP isn't banging the drum against impeachment - which they would be if it was bad for them and good for Democrats. They'd be on FoxNews every day talking about how bad it is. But they're not. Think about it.

In fact, it looks like some rethugs are actively trying to promote trashing of Democrats for NOT impeaching as a reason to trash congressional Democrats as "weak" ahead of the 2020 elections.

And some people are actually falling for it and helping them along.
