You mean even some Repuglicans are finally realizing that Trump is a vile, bigoted, racist pig? Who’d a thunk it?

“Highly inappropriate behavior” from the president*?? Color me shocked…oh, wait, that’s the only kind of behavior he’s capable of performing. Check out this little bit of “fake news”: http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/politics/president-donald-trump-competency/index.html.
Someone can expect an incoming nasty tweet or two…

I think I’m losing focus. I’m starting to hate Huckabee as much as I despise Trump.

Senators, one way to express your disgust is to vote NO on the tax give away to the ultra rich.

This has gotten to be the GOP’s equivalent of Ron Popeil’s “Set it and forget it” – mild disapproval followed by nothing. Move on, nothing to see here.

I’m getting to think the “R” after their names means “Ronco”.

This is like retweeting something from the Klan or the American Nazi party or the skinheads. Which I’m sure will be coming up next. Maybe at Christmas. What a fucking scumbag this man is.

So this is what passes for courage in today’s Republican party.
Sad.

I’m sure there are also ‘good people’ among the Britain First mob.

“I’ve heard a little bit about the group and the group seems to want to ban the publication of the Koran.”

Yet Roy Moore calling for the same thing somehow doesn’t disqualify him for these GOP mavericks.

I’m truly touched by their concern over anti-Muslim bigotry whenever it doesn’t threaten their Senate majority.

Yeah, yeah, we know. You’re concerned and saddened, saddened and concerned. But you still back him. Thoughts and prayers to anyone who was offended.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told MSNBC that while he believes Trump was trying to highlight the threat of terrorism, the decision to retweet the videos was ‘not helpful.’” As usual, Lindsey was giving der Furor too much credit. What Trump was doing was simply to demonstrate, yet again, that he’s absolutely nuts.

Yes, Lindsay is always “this probably won’t help”, or “this might make things more difficult”… There’s always a soft-core criticism, with some slack in it.
With Trump, there is no “probably” or “might”. There’s only “definitely” and " facial prolapse"…

I think you are giving them too much credit. The criticisms were pretty damn tepid. Note that vile, bigoted and racist are your words, not theirs.

The British government was quick to condemn Trump’s retweets of the videos.

“Britain First seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions,” a spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement. “They cause anxiety to law-abiding people. British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right.”

Despite quick condemnation from the British government, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump’s decision to retweet the videos.

Quick some one wake Rex up from his nap and ask him if we still don’t need diplomacy.
