Trump was and is a deranged man who has no sense of honor or duty. Apparently, that’s what his cult loves about him. https://t.co/QKaj5Y0K4L

Last time there was a government shutdown, 800,000 Americans were furloughed or worked without pay.

But enjoy your weekend. https://t.co/wAz1SpInV5

The House GOP, which is “tearing itself apart”, is divided into three factions. There’s the Freedom Caucus; abt 160 reps who do what the Freedom Caucus tells them to do; and about 20 moderates who bitch and moan before doing what the Freedom Caucus tells them to do.

Trump is the supreme anti-patriot.

 

But we've known that since 2016 - remember what he said about POWs? That was the day my dad, a POW in Korea, stopped being a Republican.

 

You father is a rare breed. 95% of Republicans haven't noticed that he's anti-troops, anti-America, anti-patriotism, anti-American's friends, pro-America's enemies. He waves the flag and attacks people, and that's enough for them.

 

Most of them don't really care. You are hung up on policies and to these people that is secondary. They want a father-like authority figure to be leader. And your father is never wrong.

 

Well, my dad also had a French wife, two gay sons and a black son-in-law (sister's husband). Let's just say he was swimming against the very strong political current in our family. That it took Trump effectively insulting him personally as a POW to be the final straw, rather than the anti-French, anti-gay, anti-black actions and attitudes of the GOP, spoke volumes as to how entrenched he was as a Republican.

 

Always knew Reade was shady.

Remember when people insisted that you were betraying feminism and MeToo if you had any doubts about Reade's accusations https://t.co/uuyRCENrPR

Or that push come to shove, he cared more about himself than his relatives.

 

"Establishment media" ... I have never in my life heard of this woman, but those two words tell me all I need to know. And then some.

 

She's the one who accused Biden of sexual assault and now works for Russian television. Nothing suspicious there.

 

Half the country is worthless, half is deplorable, those are not good percentages.

 

People who believe in the Rapture use it as a threat that other people will be left behind, but I hear it as a promise that they will finally leave.

McCain should have been the last straw.

 

That punchline is gold!!!

Of course Menendez was taking bribes - I mean, have you seen what dinner costs at Newark Airport these days?? https://t.co/RzuzgHiVV5 pic.twitter.com/3HHc4gxG6G

I am trying to imagine Dem POTUS candidate crapped over Hillary like that. I mean, not while running against her, just as a side point of nastiness. I'm pretty sure that I would detest that candidate.

 

I know, it's all so weird. Because along with being the nastiest campaigner on record, he's also the softest, whiniest campaigner on record, always going on about how people are mean to him. It's bizarre that voters don't connect those two dots and write him off as being the hypocrite that he is.

You will respond, but he says the things they want to hear. Well yeah but so does DeSantis, and the voters judge his behavior. But not Trump's. He is not asked to be consistent, or for that matter even to make an attempt at being a decent human.

 

Why would they? Trump was simply embracing the typical attitude manifested by conservative evangelicals and their incredible persecution complex. They are the ones who are constantly exerting their influence and power over others, oftentimes working to deprive others of the same rights they enjoy, all while whining about how society is unfair to them and out to get them.
