"In private, Republicans are in the deepest despair of the Trump era." "hideous spectacle"

[Demovictory9]

Trump Is Going to Burn Down Everything and Everyone, and Republicans, That Means You
That press conference was terrifying. And congressional Republicans should be more afraid than anyone. Trump’s going down and taking them with him.

Donald Trump’s Oval Office performance-art masterpiece Wednesday was one for the ages, a pity-party, stompy-foot screech session by President Snowflake von Pissypants, the most put-upon man ever to hold the highest office in the land. If you watched his nationally televised press conference, Trump’s shrill, eye-popping hissy fit scanned like the end of a long, coke-fueled bender where the itchy, frenzied paranoia is dry-humping the last ragged gasps of the earlier party-powder fun.

Between calling Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) a panoply of Trumpish insults (and for the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to be held for treason), engaging in his usual hatred of the press, talking about Mike Pompeo’s intimate undergarments, and quite obviously scaring the shit out of Finnish President Sauli Niinisto—who looked like he was the very unwilling star of an ISIS hostage video—Trump spent the day rapidly decompensating, and it was a hideous spectacle. All the Maximum Leader pronunciamentos won’t change the reality that Donald John Trump, 45th president of the United States, has lost his shit.

In private, Republicans are in the deepest despair of the Trump era. They’ve got that hang-dog, dick-in-the-dirt fatalism of men destined to die in a meaningless battle in a pointless war. They’ve abandoned all pretense of recapturing the House, their political fortunes in the states are crashing and burning, and the stock-market bubble they kept up as a shield against the downsides of Trump—“but muh 401(k)!”—is popping.

[Skittles]

[mcar]

9. Poor lambs

You sold your soul to the devil that is the Republican party - Trump is just the manifestation of its evil.

I revel in your despair.

[spanone]

10. I hope he takes everyone of those spineless republican cretins with him

they have and are still promoting every fucking line he's crossed

[bdamomma]

27. Our job

is to increase the numbers for impeachment. Let's blow him away. Fuck that 30% they can't be helped. 70% of us want justice.

[spanone]

36. Got that right!

[GoCubsGo]

11. Beds. Made. Lie.

They deserve everything that's coming their way, and then some.

[qazplm135]

12. it's WWI

and Trump is telling them this charge out of the trench will be the one to break the other side's lines.

[uponit7771]

14. Buncha punk asses

[Mr. Ected]

15. Nevertheless, they will soldier on as they always do, in lockstep, posturing and posing

And their constituents take them absolutely at face value.

[dameatball]

16. My Trumper inlaws are finally admitting he has serious problems, but they basically are just waiting

for a clone with fewer obvious flaws that they can support. This crap is a long way from over, even after the nutbag is gone.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. GOP is guilty ...

[myohmy2]

18. trump...

...and the republicans respect no bounds, conventions or laws...

...they shit on our Constitution, our institutions and then lie to cover their ass...

...America has now come to a crossroad...America has to decide,

...join the call to impeach/stop trump and then vote republicans out of power in 2020 or forever see the United States changed into a banana republic run by oligarchs...


...face it, trump has to be removed from office, for there can be no fair, legitimate election if he remains in power...

...May God Save the United States...

[blm]

19. I say, Kick em while they're down. They are MONSTERS and you cannot

Trust any claims of sorrow, regret, or shame. We KNOW they are shameless.

[relayerbob]

20. All they need to do ...

is stand up for what they actually know is right, and tell Trump and his cabal, to go f themselves, and vote him off the island (and by island, I mean, Earth)

They'll feel better instantly

[Historic NY]

21. Fuck 'em let them burn with him , they are cowards, unpatriotic, eunuchs. Trump has gelded them all

[bdamomma]

25. they

are embracing a thuggish criminal regime. They will go down.

Another DU'er posted yesterday GOP, Gangsters of Putin. How fitting huh???

[Hekate]

22. I certainly hope so. Every stinking step of the way from when he came down that elevator...

...the Republican Party apparatus had the means to stop him. They saw what he was and embraced him anyway. I hope they suffer the torments of Hell. I hope he takes them all down. I hope his entire grifting family is left with nothing but their ancestral whorehouse in the Yukon.

[bdamomma]

23. Lay

down with dogs wake up with fleas.

[mwooldri]

24. That 401k will end up being a 100.25c if we continue to have...

... Mr. Trump in office.

[yellowcanine]

26. "hang-dog, dick-in-the-dirt fatalism"

[flibbitygiblets]

29. my favorite line as well

The imagery is priceless. And could not be more deserved. OMG those treasonweasels are going DOWN!!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

38. My favorite line from Rick Wilson's editorial there is this:

" . . . frenzied paranoia is dry-humping the last ragged gasps of the earlier party powder fun."



Brilliant !

[woundedkarma]

30. Wishful thinking

Rethugs aren't going to go anywhere. There will always be enough stupid, ignorant, hateful people to keep them in power.

[burrowowl]

31. K&R

And may corporate enablers go down with them.

[LisaM]

32. A pity party!

Considering that they only have their majorities through election cheating, they've appointed 14 of the last 18 SCOTUS judges despite losing the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 elections, and they are thwarting the will of the people on healthcare, the environment, and taxes...


I DON'T CARE!

[Luciferous]

33. I don't care what they think in private. Grow some spines and say it publicly!!!

[warmfeet]

34. Fuck repiglicans.

To hell with them!

Fuck'em.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Don't make it lite, and don't make it complicated

Sort the charges into obstruction, emoluments, abuse of power, and foreign election intrigue.

Pick 3 or 4.

Then do it. Blitzkrieg Impeachment!!

[Duckandcover]

37. C'Mon, the ONLY thing that will send the Repugs into panic mode

Is when the donor money stops flowing into their coffers

[MontanaMama]

40. The GrOPers dobbers are down.

Whomp whomp.....

[Danascot]

41. It really was performance art

Wait until the RW nutbags find out he's a deep-cover liberal, a brilliant actor sent to destroy the Republican party.

[dlk]

42. Buyers remorse...

[live love laugh]

43. Fuck them. In the worst sense. nt

[Aristus]

44. Are they? I thought they were "drinking libtard tears".

Oh well, there's a price to pay for everything...
