How Do People on Trump's Team Sleep?

I don't know about them, but I spend some time before falling asleep thinking about the day, tomorrow, or other things. When I'm troubled, worried, or apprehensive, it can take me a while to finally fall asleep. It's not a problem, but there are times when getting to sleep takes longer than it should.

Thinking about Donald Trump and the rest of those miscreants, I imagine each has a prescription for Ambien or some other serious sleep inducing medication. Surely, their multiple issues, concerns, worries, and maybe even regrets make it difficult to wind down and finally sleep.

Frankly, if I were any of them, I'd never get to sleep. Even with medication. What sad, desperate lives they lead! They richly deserve sleepless nights. Bad cess to all of them!

I think they know. I think they are tossers and turners, mostly. Tossers, especially, in the British sense.

Must be all the evil and lies she lives with every day. Men seem better at hiding the effects of evil better. Well, except for SCROTUS. He looks more & more dissipated with each passing day.

denying sleep. All of them have those, in massive quantities, I'm sure.

Trump has Mueller. Really, they all have Mueller. I'm sure his face haunts their dreams.

is having NO conscience. It makes dealing with all these ethical/moral issues so much easier.

They don't have a bit of empathy so causing harm to others isn't a concern of theirs. They are busy making their rich friends even richer thereby ensuring a nice gravy job for themselves when they leave politics.

wondering if they will be the next to (1) be indicted; (2) fall out of favor and be trashed by tRump before being fired; or (c) be forced to quit in disgust to try to clear their conscience.

"Powell described his killer schedule in an interview Thursday with Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, a reporter for a London-based Saudi newspaper.

"So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?" Al-Rashed asked.

"Yes. Well, I wouldn't call them that," Powell said. "They're a wonderful medication -- not medication. How would you call it? They're called Ambien, which is very good. You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien."

with so much weight on their shoulders.

I would question every vote, decision and law I ever made. I doubt myself too much, and I care too much.

That makes it all the more baffling that the bad politicians are able to do the things they do and still sleep at night.

They must have no conscience, or they must truly believe they are right.
