If anything, he just keeps getting worse - if that's even possible. He started out horribly - and it's been downhill from there. It's the new "normal," what terrible and terrifying outrage is next???

falling, and have sprinted to Trump's side, at the very point where they need to be running AWAY from him. All because McConnell wants to stick the knife into Bannon.

that this guy is severely ill mentally and physically. He is one irregular heart rhythm away from catastrophe. We are one unchecked tirade away from catastrophe.

that he is incapable of acting responsibly.
Republican leaders have all been colluding with him since he won the nomination. They passed their tax scam, making them winners-just like Trump. They are a cult and Trump is their god.

The only people Prima Donnie takes seriously are the kind who have a reputation for dealing with people who cross them "all permanent-like". Concrete galoshes, polonium, ricin, whatever happened to Hoffa, that sort of thing.

Does Joe think tRump sees McConnell and Ryan that way? Ha!

So which Comcast executives are such Joey fanboys that he still has a job?

Scarborough and McConnell and the rest of the Repugs are THRILLED because they have a
Blank check to run shit through Congress and payback the donors AND pass bills they have wanted to pass for DECADES.
They are not about to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Also the added perks of money from
Put in to pad their wallets doesn't hurt either.

They are like pigs rolling in shit.

Ram through everything they can, then let Pence serve out the rest of his term (which, by then, will be less than half left, so Pence can run on his own twice more).

Once installed, Pence can be counted on to continue to rubber-stamp whatever the bubbas in congress want anyway, with the added benefit of mandating gun ownership from birth and fundamentalist church attendance every Sunday (attendance WILL be taken).

Trump sticks around until January 21, 2019, then "resigns" or is otherwise removed. Pence takes over to do up to 10 years in office (He won't be around that long). Paul Ryan, who IMO will lose to Randy Bryce, or if he wins, will step down prior to that date. Pence needs a VP, so it could either be him or Nikki Haley, more than likely Ryan.

The Rs, which would only control at best one legislative branch, and likely none, will be more inclined to pass whatever they want and Pence will sign. Pence is evil, but generally not stupid. As he is impeached and possibly removed for doing some of the same stuff as Trump, then the Rs get Ryan or Haley and lather, rinse, repeat.

Should it be Haley, then they get more of the same plus the benefit of the 1st female VP (should have been Hillary, but that's frozen water under the bridge based on location). Haley is less evil, not quite sure on the stupid part. Ambitious, absolutely. Her only positive move was the flag removal on the statehouse after Charlotte resident Bree Newsome helped her with it. Plus she has a legislative working relationship with Rev. Clementia Pinckney in his capacity in the SC General Assembly; the body she came from before being elected Governor.

If scum were serious, he'd challenge gop leadership name-by-name to impeach. He loves to brag about his "friends" in the capital builiding. Those friends are killing democracy.
