Before midnight on Election night, 2012, Mitt Romney canceled his staffers' credit cards

Wouldn't even let 'em charge their cab rides back to the hotel after the concession speech.

How much nastier are we expecting Trump to be to HIS staffers if things don't go his way, and how soon?

And how House of Atreus will he go on his family?

(I'm thinking he starts with getting Melania deported and sends Barron straight to military school, after telling the kid it's all HiS fault).

...so I had to look up House of Atreus. Not sure what's in store for Trump's poor family, but I would love to see a fitting punishment befall Trump for what he has done to the nation. What the gods did to Tantalus, king of Lydia sounds perfect!

For his wrongdoing, Tantalus was doomed to Tartarus, where he stood in a pool of water. When he would try to drink, the water would recede. Additionally, fruit would hang from trees just above him, but would move away when he tried to pick them.
