GOP in shock over White House drama

GOP in shock over White House drama
BY NIALL STANAGE - 07/29/17 06:01 AM EDT

Republicans are in shock this weekend as the chaos around the Trump White House reaches a new intensity.

Recent days have brought a deluge of drama.

Embattled chief of staff Reince Priebus was ousted, in news that broke late Friday afternoon. Priebus said in television interviews that he submitted his resignation the previous day.

"How this level of dysfunction helps the White House move its agenda, I have no idea," said GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak. "This is a circus right now."

It was a fucking "circus" the day after the election when Pence unceremoniously ejected Crispy Creme as transition head and took on that role, after which all hell broke loose with the crazy, and it hasn't stopped yet.

This was always about that deal for Russia. And so is this. Now that the sanctions are staying the deal looks dead, Putin's fall back position has always been to create as much chaos as possible in the US. He absolutely owns Trump and you're about to see Trump go to war with Reps.

It's the craziest Administratiin we've ever see by a mile. This is unprecedented. It's about to get 10 times as chaotic and crazy and there is no guarantee Democracy will survive in America.

The Orange Julius Caesar looks on Repubs as a bunch of sheep to bleat his praises. And they have been obediently bleating away, expecting reciprocal support. It's just starting to register with some of them that they're all disposable sheep.

and if Julius Caesar is the literary precedent here, I hope Cassius is in the wings plotting impeachment

We Democrats have always known and stated that the maniac was not psychologically competent to serve at any elected level.

A couple of hundred thousand mental midgets in key states decided to show the rest of us how fucking really stupid they were by voting for the asswipe!

The American people had it right, dip-shit lost by about three million votes that if this was a true democracy, we would have avoided this debacle!

Fake president, PINO.

But the Republican Party is now the Gathering Of Psychotics, run by the greedy, the selfish, the hateful, the ideologues, and the short-sighted. The people who voted against Hillary and voted out of spite are still only beginning to reap the whirlwind.

and start to do something about the calamity YOU created. You were as silent as a tomb when the monster in the White House called Mexicans rapists, mocked a disabled reporter, was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault, held rallies in which he encouraged violence, and many, many other examples of how he's unfit for ANY government office. You ignored clear warnings by the Obama White House about ongoing and increasing government interference and later tacitly agreed with Trump that it was all Obama's fault. You looked the other way when he threatened Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

You could have stopped him. You didn't. Now, it will be much much harder, but you must stop being paralyzed with "shock" and join with Democrats in ridding the country of a real threat. I don't mean Russians; I mean the current occupant of the White House. Our House.
