that Comey and the FBI have some shit on Trump that will take him down. And maybe they have some shit on the Senators, too.

Or at least I hope.

Shaken, stunned.

I have a theory, but I can't stand to talk about it, because it's too terrible.

But I really hope it's not that that left them ashen.

I would rather have complicity from sitting republicans.

Although there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support that speculation.

Just a feeling I've had all along.

And all the talk about ashen-faced congress persons...I just don't think a peepee video would cause that reaction in that crowd.

I was thinking more along the lines of a detailed toxicology screening. Hard evidence.

I really don't want it to be true. I want it to be something else. Anything else. I just had a bad feeling when I saw her collapse next to that vehicle.

Maybe it's just a peepee tape. Maybe it's just three minutes of Assface walking around nekkid. The brief-ees from today's meeting just needed their eyeballs washed with bleach, and were ashen from the pain. I would be fine with that. I wouldn't/couldn't watch it, but I would be okay with it.

I want to be wrong.

it means (of a person's face) very pale with shock, fear, or illness.

Yay, ashen! You rock!

26. Most commonly means that they were in shock

as that is the tone one takes on when in a state of shock.

I suspect that they were told that the speaker and some others are also in trouble and there may be a high level perp-walk soon OR they were told that we are all going down and they can't do anything about it, we are owned, period.

I think it's one or the other, I hope it's the first thing.
