Conservative Columnist Asks For Barf Bag After Seeing Trump’s Cabinet Praise Him Like A Dictator


Conservative columnist Mona Charen had some harsh criticism for Donald Trump’s cabinet on Wednesday after they met for the first time of the new year.

In the meeting, Trump officials were quick to heap praise on the president as if they’re working for some third-world dictator.

“Look, honestly, you do wonder, do they keep the barf bags underneath the table there at those cabinet meetings?” Charen said during an interview with Chris Hayes.

Charen said:

Look, honestly, you do wonder, do they keep the barf bags underneath the table there at those cabinet meetings? It’s just beyond belief – the toadee-ing, and the lack of self-respect. Now, admittedly, this is already the “B” team and some of them are “C” team, but that is the part — look, Mike Pence used to be a man a long time ago and look at what he has become. It’s a really lamentable display, I’m sorry to say

.

The blind praise of Trump is unprecedented

It’s typical for a president’s staff to support his or her agenda, but the level of suck-uppery we see on display in front of Trump is unprecedented – and scary.

That’s because part of the job description when you work for this administration is that you must blindly and publicly support Trump no matter what he says and does. If you don’t, you lose your job. It’s partly why no adults remain in this White House.

It’s the stuff of authoritarian regimes, not democracies.

As former Obama White House cabinet secretary Chris Lu said on Wednesday, “If one of us, whether staff or cabinet, had ever done something like this, we would have been mercilessly mocked by President Obama, and in the Trump administration, this gets you the job of attorney general.”

That was put on full display on Wednesday as Trump’s cabinet members left their self-respect at the door before meeting with their boss.

1. These would be the people

who we would have to believe would invoke the 25th?

[MyOwnPeace]

7. Absolutely!

There is not one person in that group that would have the bal - er, courage to even think (well, there's another challenge for any of them) about beginning the process to have IQ45 removed from office.

[NCjack]

12. Gen. Mattis was the last of any that would lead A25 to remove Trump. That was

likely a reason he was removed, in addition to being the author of "Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" in the NYT.

[olegramps]

14. Is only indicative of the repulsive Republican Party. It is a combination barf bag and diaper.

[Achilleaze]

2. republicans have become a party of amoral BrownNosers

[sarge43]

11. What's the difference between an ass kisser and a brown noser?

Depth perception.

[Cha]

3. Pod people

[CharleyDog]

4. to have to sit there and act a toady, suck up and kiss his bunghole, there's the sitting there

while Dumbo lies, makes up fantastic numbers, exaggerates, and acts the clown, the bozo, the fool, the dotard mendacious lizard Republican. What would you do for a Klondike bar?

[gratuitous]

5. But Mona!

This is what you've lusted after since the days of Reagan, another powerful man taking America's helm and running roughshod over his opposition. You wanted it in the worst way, and now you've got it. You should be very happy, shouldn't you?

[Saboburns]

6. Where ya been Mona?

Did you miss the other half dozen of these tongue baths. These 'Cabinet' meetings bring me much mirth and many belly laughs.

I mean have you ever seen really real people act like that before?!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Proud Liberal Dem]

30. It's always like

Republicans just discovered fire or something when further evidence of how insane Trump's Presidency actually is becomes revealed to them.

[PeeJ52]

8. The Executive Branch of the US government has become The Apprentice, Part II...

Unbelievable...

[UpInArms]

9. Where has Mona been? Under a rock?

This was the surreal first cabinet meeting in 2017

[keithbvadu2]

24. Priebus

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

[Cosmocat]

34. right

All the cabinet meetings are like that, and we have had congressmen kissing his ass like Sadam in front of the capital building ...

[Paladin]

10. "Mike Pence used to be a man" is my favorite part. (nt)

[calimary]

18. I don't think that's even true. Sure wasn't one when the poor gullible voters in Indiana

recklessly and with a cock-eyed naïveté put you in charge of their state. And you got right down to work shoving your narrow intolerant phony-“Christian” worldview down their throats, enshrining discrimination into your state laws and nearly bankrupting your state, and screwing your workforce because of all the businesses and big conventions that took all their jobs and ran away in reaction.

Nice job, little boy.

[Paladin]

22. Doesn't have to be true to be funny. Kinda like trump's press conferences. (nt)

[renate]

35. That was my favorite part!!! nt

[calimary]

13. As you GOPers loudly blared at one of your recent pre-donald CONventions:

“You Built it.”

You sure did, red team. YOU built this. ALL of it. Happy now?

I guess I’m glad that some of you seem to be waking up - MAYBE. MAYBE you’re seeing the error of your ways.

MAYBE. Because you all look SO incredibly shitty and petty and stupid - just like your Deplorables back home. You’re NOT reborn, or rehabilitated, or saved. Once the disaster finally passes and we somehow grope and claw our way back to some sort of normalcy, after the adults - the Democrats - clean up the mess you made, I think the smarter bet is - you won’t have learned One Damn Thing.

You, too, Mona.

[Texin]

15. I agree with everything she said EXCEPT Pence. He's never been a man.

Not now nor ever.

[duforsure]

16. Being made to publicly shower trump with loyalty

To him over country is the most outrageous and arrogant display of contempt for OUR country I've ever seen. He demands it from anyone that they serve him and only him before country

[JHB]

17. Witness to the event (or one like it)...

[calimary]

19. AWESOME!

[Major Nikon]

20. When the President is surrounded by sycophants and his DOJ says he can't be indicted...

You know you're being ruled by a despot. That's why I call them Banana Republicans.

[VOX]

21. 45's cabinet lines up to rub his ample buttocks with velvet.

Not literally, of course, but all that supplication, documented on camera, is vomitously revolting to any well-adjusted adult. Our democracy has been perverted and transformed into a corrupt monarchy.

And all the while, 45 folds his arms and gloats directly at an America that has been set completely adrift.

[czarjak]

23. Moan on Mona...

[keithbvadu2]

25. "as if they're working for some third-world dictator. "

[oasis]

26. "Mike Pence used to be a man" she says. 2020 campaign ad material.

[dalton99a]

27. The Trump cabinet at work

[Laffy Kat]

28. And I hope it comes back to bite each one in the ass.

Clips of heaping praise on 45 will make great re-election fodder for Democrats when the time comes.

[Farmer-Rick]

29. what a bunch of servile empty headed fools.

In light of their actions I have more descriptions of them provided by Webster.

[DBoon]

31. Manchurian Candidate

"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life

[Bayard]

32. I also like the other guy on MSNBC last night

Can't remember the name, but was in Obama's cabinet. He said, if any of us had ever acted like that in a cabinet meeting, Obama would have teased us mercilessly.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. Fuck ya Mona Charen

I am positive that it is people like you who enabled this atrocity. SO FU.

[central scrutinizer]

36. More like a Mafia "Don"

He’s splitting up the action so they can all have their cut of the take. It’s like a scene from Scarface. “Joey, you take narcotics on the south side. Benny, you take gambling and prostitution...” Of course they’re happy. They never had it so good.
