Trump needs to go.
He’ll be JFK-like in that both presidencies ended while out of town during a White House remodel.
Note to future Presidents: Stick close during a rehab!

Silence -> Agreement.

History is recording that these guys are enabling the racist President.

I will tell you what he needs to do:

  1. Apologize for the birther nonsense.

  2. Apologize for the sexual assaults.

  3. Apologize for racist comments.

  4. Apologize for the Charlottesville comments.

"I’m concentrating on finding areas of agreement and doing everything I can under my committee’s jurisdiction and what I can do to improve the situation.”

Oh, really? Like what, Ron? Name one thing you’ve done in this area. Take your time. Take the rest of the week if necessary.

Actually, given that Sen. Johnson could not bring himself to openly and directly denounce Trump, let alone suggest his resignation/impeachment, he is another politician who should say “I resign”.

Johnson: “Can We Move On From Trump Defending White Supremacists Already?”

“And get back to the issues that matter to our voters?”

“Like emailing photoshopped images of President Obama with a bone through his nose?”

“Or comparing his wife and children to monkeys?”

“Maybe demonizing Mexicans and Muslims?”

Someone needs to explain to Johnson that it’s not a question of whether or not he (or the President) supports white nationalists. The question is why THEY support YOU.

…from my standpoint, I’m concentrating on finding areas of agreement and doing everything I can under my committee’s jurisdiction and what I can do to improve the situation

I got the memo from Paul Ryan and I’ve finally memorized it.

Fine. Let’s talk about the debt ceiling, passing a budget, Mueller’s investigation, confirming racist nominees, Price sabotaging the ACA, Pruitt polluting the entire country, Tillerson cratering the State Department, and DeVos all but inviting a mutiny against herself at Education. Oh, and future racist demonstrations encouraged by a president who did not condemn white supremacy.

Is that a good start?

Senator Johnson is the most odious member in the upper chamber. What happened to the citizens of Wisconsin? What happened to: Wisconsin Nice?

Nope, but thanks for playing Johnson you fuck.

“Is it too early to think about Article 25 and impeachment?” asked one reporter.

“On what grounds?” Johnson responded.

i’ll give it five more days, but one of them will be defending Trump’s right to ‘come strong to the mic’.

Trump on Tuesday blamed “both sides” for the violence leading to counter-protester Heather Heyer’s death. He also said “both sides” had “fine people.”

welcome back 2016.

Your committee is Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. What are you doing to improve the situation of a violent fifth column of radical white supremacists, possibly with foreign funding and support?

With all due respect, Senator, fuck you. If the POTUS were a Dem you’d be in the front lines with your tiki torch.
