He has been warning them, but they wouldn't listen. In a minute, he gets to own the high ground in his party while the rest hang heads in shame. Too bad none of the actual politicians are stepping up. McCain is too old, but Sasse or one of them coulda had a shot. But now they are just enablers of a corrupt regime.

but, it seems to be only the GOP pundits that are revolting against Team Trump. Most of the Congressional GOP is silent, save for the occasional strongly worded letter or statement that amounts to nothing.

I posted a thread a few years back about asking people that post links to video or other online content to at least give a short summary for those of us at work. Or, when somebody says to tune in to some politician speaking on air... I think I got a handful of recs and no more than 5 responses.

however, somebody else posted similar a few months back and it got 250+ recs and well over 100 responses.

the other day. So you never know who is reading the posts to start with! It doesn't bother me. Probably wasn't as funny as I thought in the first place.

I have posted 'funny' comments and tagged them in a discussion on Twitter only to see it show up 5 minutes later as an original tweet from a famous, verified account and get hundreds of shares. Sigh. They should give you the RT at least....

When they voted to repeal ACA 60 plus times not even discussing replacement until they had to when it was their turn at it and we demanded it. When they push their health care plan that they know will kill tens of thousands of Americans all because their mega rich Donors want more money! They proclaim to be Christian with family values while killing your grandma! They have sold us out and just want Trump to help pass their tax cut, er uh I mean health care bill, then on to tax reform! After that they will feed Trump to the wolves!

Shame, they do not know the meaning of the word!

may have been an indication of Trump's attempt to find out what info the various investigations had turned up. Comey was aware of these kinds of shenanigans so he shared his Trump memos only to FBI who were not involved with the investigations.

Tue May 16, 2017, 11:32 PM
May 2017

They had to have been told exactly where their PAC money was sourced from at the RNC convention. They were promised their deepest desires in exchange for perceived power and money. And because they are collectively complicit, they don't dare put down their mad dog. They know he will expose all of them with a Twitter rant if they cross him.

This is the only logical explanation I can come up with. They are all traitors.

The 2 leaders, Ryan and McTurtle are definitely complicit and are part of the collusion with a foreign country to steal our election. Rest not sure about but know that they put power and party above the country and it's people, so therefore they are mostly traitors to their oaths of office too.
