How is he still there? When do some Rethug Senators march up to the Whitehouse and demand his resignation? Oh... right...

although keeping it under the radar.

After all, geez, they couldn't possibly admit they made a mistake, could they? And, for some of them, not this close to an election.

And, of course, we know many of them are terrified of the bully and his tweets and name-calling. Fucking cowards.

Any moderate Republican remotely open to reason has long ago abandoned this shit show. The hardcore 40 to 44 percent of his worshipers are baked in at this point. They either don't give a shit about what a slimy bastard he is or even worse love him precisely because of what a slimy bastard he is.

We can quit hoping that anything is going to happen that will turn his core faithful from him. I mean he could commit political suicide with them by calling a press conference tomorrow and announcing that he was all in for BLM, or openly announce that he has was pro choice, or admit that he did indeed consider people who join the military to be suckers and losers. But that's not going to happen.

We just have to get our side to turn out and vote. We outnumber these bastards if our people just show their ass up and vote.

Because the GOP is now about the Teabagger/QAnon loony bin. If the rats run from Trump, Trump will sick the base on them an they'll get primaried to death.

They can't run from Trump. And the ones that have principles? They are already purged and gone.

Live by the dumpster fire, die by the dumpster fire.
