See how many republican Senators backed Bob Corker?

Republicans don't care about the possibility of World War III.

Corker warned them and they yawned.

That's the state of American politics.

One party is willing to chance WWIII in order to cut taxes for the 1% and destroy the legacy of our first African American President.

The country can go to hell, they're obsessed with tax cuts for people and corporations that can't spend what they have now, but who need more, and that right quick. Luckily for them, our faultless media are similarly craven, and will never call them out on their collective cowardice. If we survive this calamity by some stroke of enormous luck we don't deserve, they will all agree to never mention this episode again. When was the last time you heard a discouraging word about W and his feckless administration?

keeping their jobs...nothing more. they start campaigning the moment they take the oath and

the media has no shame when it comes to politics...they did more than anyone to get this asshole elected but have

never taken an ounce of blame nor do they have any regrets....it's just more 'reality' teevee for them....news = revenue.

5. Why would you care about world war III

When you're a racist fucking idiot? At least Obama's not in charge!

But I'm not supposed to call people who are fine with nuclear fallout idiots. I'm supposed to "reach out". I'm supposed to be damn proud that John McCain stepped up and said no thanks to the whole war bit. Oh that didn't happen.

Bitch if World War III doesn't "reach" you, you're a fucking idiot and you need to be quarantined. Every last GOP congressman is screwing their constituents--but at least their constituents are represented with the same mode of thought; "I can deny facts because I'm a fucking idiot."

They're a danger to the planet I want them slapped and locked away.

Corker would be leading their proud charge of revolt.

The fact that they are cowering in silence is a heavy indication that, for now, they are not.

But take insurance away from millions of people, suppress our votes, leave Puerto Rico to rebuild themselves.
Oh well, if they let Trump bomb the $h!t out of No. Korea and Iran, we won't here to see what is left!
