Sanders and Conway, to name a few.

They didn’t mean it then, either, except insofar as they were talking about you-know-who and you-know-who-else.

(And even then their meaning was corrupt.)

I’ve noticed things like this, especially since the election. But I don’t expect avalanches, upheavals, any kind of noticeable opposition at all. My guess is the calculation now is they can’t save him, so they’ll save themselves if possible, preferably without making a big noise about it. I think what’ll happen is when he needs them they’ll just quietly not be there. They’ll let him twist slowly in the wind. It’s kind of a tradition.

You’re not talkin’ about Agnew/Mitchell/Nixon law and order, are you, chief?!

The fact that Graham is still posturing with ersatz “opposition” to Drumpf on Syria must confirm that Drumpf must have a boatload of compromising stuff on Graham.

Something happened there. Graham was always a weasel though. He dances a couple steps in the direction of decency, and then three days later he dances back toward the treachery end of the continuum.

I’m whipsawed by Lindseybelle’s changing positions on Trump.

Oh, they all try to avoid getting him riled up, for fear of being tweeted at until the rubble jumps. But it sure seems like they’ve decided not to go down with the ship.

Obviously McConnell isn’t. I knew he was not sanguine about a government shut down. Or I should say another shut down.

He probably feels like the general of a retreating army, trying to keep morale up and prevent a rout. He doesn’t want to lose any troops catering to the mad king’s whims.

Probably so. He really does need to maintain some control since he’s coming back in his same role.

Gonna be a sweetheart of a year for him, I’m sure. Enjoy, Mitch! And when things get stressful, just remember: You did this to yourself, you power-mad traitor. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

How non-horrible could it be?

Trump literally fired Flynn for telling the SAME LIE to Mike Pence (or at least that’s what he told us publicly). So did Mike Pence trick Flynn into lying?

Let’s marvel at how the old fox (er…turtle) avoids scrutiny for all of his pre-2016-election actions.

Good point.

Scrutiny we’ve seen so far or are aware of. Things change.
