Sarah Hucksterbee said they were all "disgruntled employees" on Good Morning America this morning.

She is just awful and for God's sake, Sarah. Do you ever smile? Must be a fun job defending the piece of shit in the White House all the time. Honestly, why are conservatives and Republicans always so uptight? My theory is that they are actually jealous of liberals because they know how to have a good time and enjoy life more.

Is Sarah gruntled? She certainly seems gruntled. One look at her and one would say she’s very gruntled indeed.

It had been a rough day, so when I walked into the party I was very chalant, despite my efforts to appear gruntled and consolate. I was furling my wieldy umbrella for the coat check when I saw her standing alone in a corner. She was a descript person, a woman in a state of total array. Her hair was kempt, her clothing shevelled, and she moved in a gainly way. I wanted desperately to meet her, but I knew I'd have to make bones about it, since I was travelling cognito. Beknownst to me, the hostess, whom I could see both hide and hair of, was very proper, so it would be skin off my nose if anything bad happened. And even though I had only swerving loyalty to her, my manners couldn't be peccable. Only toward and heard-of behavior would do. Fortunately, the embarrassment that my maculate appearance might cause was evitable. There were two ways about it, but the chances that someone as flappable as I would be ept enough to become persona grata or sung hero were slim. I was, after all, something to sneeze at, someone you could easily hold a candle to, someone who usually aroused bridled passion. So I decided not to rush it. But then, all at once, for some apparent reason, she looked in my direction and smiled in a way that I could make heads or tails of. So, after a terminable delay, I acted with mitigated gall and made my way through the ruly crowd with strong givings. Nevertheless, since this was all new hat to me and I had no time to prepare a promptu speech, I was petuous. She responded well, and I was mayed that she considered me a savory char- acter who was up to some good. She told me who she was. "What a perfect nomer," I said, advertently. The conversation became more and more choate, and we spoke at length to much avail. But I was defatigable, so I had to leave at a godly hour. I asked if she wanted to come with me. To my delight, she was committal. We left the party together and have been together ever since. I have given her my love, and she has requited it.

I think that conservatives do good things because they think they'll be rewarded in Heaven. Liberals do good things because it's the right thing to do.

charitable toward all of these WH officials. Anyone with more than two brain cells knew that Trump was like this and that he'd be a presidential disaster. And, if they were that concerned about it, they shouldn't have remained so private about it. If they were that concerned about the nation, they should have been publicly speaking out and trying to actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, as they're constitutionally mandated to do.

They're constitutionally mandated to put the good of the country AHEAD of the president and their political party. AHEAD of their party's insatiable hunger for power and control and its putting itself above and before the good of the country. Their recognition of the very real danger of Trump, and the danger he poses to the country and its citizens (meaning all of us), not to mention the rest of the world, and yet their keeping it private and their lack of action, makes it even worse.

This anonymous letter is bs. There aren't enough secret (not secret anymore) decent people in the Trump administration to "protect" us from Trump.

I feel no satisfaction in Knowing that there are maybe a group of Trump appointed people who are saving us from Trump. I'm not buying it. As you point out, they are really enabling Trump.

If this group of people exists, and I'm leery of that, then Trump has every right to hunt them down and fire them and replace them with Steve Bannon, Corey Lewendowski, Hope Hicks.

Democrats taking back Congress is the only remedy, not a group of Trump appointed Republicans.

Vote.
