(988 posts)I guarantee that the GOP is not going to be willing to find anything with Trump.
Anything they can to continue the power they have. They just dont realize that if they continue letting Trump run amuck for another 2 years, they risk losing seats in 2018 / 2020. They could alternatively go with Pence and have the same power with smoother sailing.
But we know the GOP dont seem to use any brains.

(48,955 posts)Drives me crazy - his tweets - but it gives us insight into whatever is really in his head, and into what he is reading/watching (Fox or Brietbart.) I am starting to think it is the only kind of transparency we are ever going to get from this Administration.

(5,730 posts)We have no power. The checks and balances are gone, and we have exposed a huge flaw in the Constitution.
Almost ALL his tweets have helped us. Please don't take away his tweeter. Let him keep his Android too. We will have a record. The Russians already know everything anyway because he's been so careless and clueless.
Imagine if this were Hillary. She would have already been impeached and convicted. Hypocrisy!!!🖕

(7,142 posts)that means that someone has the dirt on Trump. If Breitbart is just covering for Trump and lying about the wiretap I hope it left Trump in on the subterfuge because otherwise he is probably soiling his pants about now.

(11,843 posts)He is so stupid that he'd start tweeting "UNFAIR!!" about them.
He is addicted to prescription uppers. And there is some proof of this. At least, he acts like a speed freak...

(2,226 posts)A long time he's on drugs. Would like to see in his med cabinet. His dr is goofy enough to give him anything. Same with Hitler's doc. He was strung out on all kinds of stuff. Was on the history channel.

(17,237 posts)THEY ALL SAID WE DON'T WANT TRUMP when they had the chance. now GOP is sorry they allowed him to be nominated etc.
it is THEIR fault.
i can't believe the GOP LEADERSHIP ... ie RYAN Mc Connell etc are not coming out in ALL MEDIA and telling Rump to shut the hell up
i have a feeling that NOW the top gops will tell trump to leave or they will impeach him.

(1,387 posts)they can contain him and any damage he does-slow learners.
azureblue
(2,150 posts)They created this monster and it's out of their control. They have no way to contain Trump without destroying their precious political party. Their first thought is to keep in power. The two cannot coexist, but the GOP is frantically ignoring that.
GliderGuider
(21,088 posts)The only way they can escape is by letting go of the prize - power. Since they are psychologically unable to do that, they will stare at the onrushing danger like a deer in the headlights until they are destroyed. If you'll pardon the mixed animal metaphor..

Any decent Republican who cares about the USA (or their own dignity) should denounce this shit-show and become a free voting independent.

(17,237 posts)BAD PERSON ETC. THEY HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THEN moderate GOPs will join the group. Then some "POPULAR" DEMS JOIN. not controversail people.... folks who are likable.... to form a group of 20 people .... then more join
Trump can't fight 25 people !!!
am i too naive?

(28,874 posts)This is strong language for a conservative who is usually an asshole.
45 read a story on Breitbart and went crazy.
Really, Kristof should be asking Mattis to put 45 in a straitjacket
and a padded cell.

(63,221 posts)It only shows how desperate he is. He knows there is no truth to his accusations. He's just throwing shit out there and hoping something will stick. It's the act of a weak and pathetic man.

(2,150 posts)He's panicking big time-freaking out and hoping he can make enough noise to save his ass.

This guys enuf of a psycho to use nukes if he thinks that will give him the Dictatorship he's already halfway there on already?
His immigration policies just seem cruel and heartless and totally un-American at the core! We have probs, but we are a much more compassionate nation than this. It's the fucking oligarchs that are the concentration camp bastards doing this cruelty to people for no seeming constructive purpose other than fomenting hate? By ruining perfectly good normal American lives.

(2,191 posts)I believe that Jared and Ivanka are neck-deep in the collusion with Russia, so I don't feel sorry for them. But their observance of Shabbat makes things worse for Trump. Someone (I presume President Bannon) talks Trump into doing crazy things on Friday nights.

He should give InfoWars a press pass too to get even more of this
