There’s nothing in the cosmos that the Senate takes more seriously than the self-perceived dignity of the Senate.

I think this demand is sincere, though haughty and somewhat misguided.

Well what do you know the coward has finally decided to step up to the plate and do something worthwhile to show his disapproval of the White House. Now if only he could find some and enforce article 25 because the wacko in the White House is crazy and is unfit to be the president of the United States. As a matter of fact he Fascist dictator who is turning day by day into a monster.

Thus marking the first time in US history that a member of the underclass spoke a non-English language in New Amsterdam New York City :laughing:

Oftentimes, the deplorables don’t deserve the dignity of our anger. They only deserve laughter.

The comment wasn’t a “joke”. It was a cruel, heartless statement of fact about a man dying of brain cancer. Totally in line with the hatefulness of her boss, who no doubt loved an attack on a perceived enemy.

What is so pathetically puzzling about this episode is certainly everyone in the WH but Trump realizes A)-this isn’t going way sans public apology and B)- it’s a huge, unnecessary distraction from more important initiatives.
The clusterfuck that is the Trump White House is perfectly embodied by this event.

McConnell - looks like a turtle, moves like a turtle.

I am surprised he didn’t take out a gun and start shooting.

Malevolence tempered by incompetence. Own goal on top of own goal.

Make some mealy-mouthed bullshit statement like “So and so regrets her intemperate language and wishes Senator McCain the best, and further personnel matters are being handled internally”. This would be fine; this is how it works. Everybody would grumble and mumble and it would fall away with the next news cycle. But no, you have to double down, proudly planting a flagpole on the summit of shame… through your own instep.

This crew would toss a flaming bag of dog shit on your porch, and ridicule you for being stupid enough to have stepped on it to put it out.

You’d think one of those kitchen-cabinet sort-of-friends people he talks to would tell him to get out in front of those and have the aide apologize before McCain does, in fact, die and it’s too late. Imagine if that’s how it goes. My my my that would be pretty foul.

This is how he talks to his constituents whom he regards as domestic help constantly in need of correction.

Yeah, you nitwit, because if she doesn’t, it means any lowly WH aide can call you an idiot in public and no one will bat an eye. Have some respect for our senators, even if you obviously don’t for legally elected presidents.
