I felt a tiny disturbance in the infrastructure, as if one or two deplorables may have suddenly looked up from their telescreens and said:

“Maga??”

Sometimes Snark is all we have.

“When (Trump’s) most fundamental obligation is to represent the security interest of the United States, that was my last straw.”

So how many straws did you actually go through to get there?

”…a more moderate Republican who switched to the GOP in 2013 after feeling that Democrats had ‘moved too far left’…”

So he’s not even a real Republican, but an opportunist who followed the political winds to the GOP.

Well, as the old saying goes: “The only good Republican…is Robert Mueller.”

The last Republican patriot. For the rest it is party over all.

Well, welcome to our foxhole, Mr. Gagin. I don’t expect we’ll see eye to eye on very many things, but we do see eye to eye on one very important thing.

I feel a very similar way as I do with the family separation/baby jails debacle: there’s no way to finesse what happened at the “Surrender Summit.” There just isn’t. It’s one of those situations that speaks for itself. Feral trumpers will most certainly not see it but they’re a lost cause anyways so I’m not really counting them in that part of the population that can be considered sane and reachable. And the fact that this is ALL happening before the midterms?

Priceless.

‘Do you believe the intelligence community or Putin?’ and when he wouldn’t say that he believes our intelligence community over the Russian president and when he said that Putin had been ‘very strong’ and forceful in his denials, something just snapped,” Gagin told TPM Tuesday.

nope…

I rode an elevator today and the TV was saying that Trump let the country down. This may be a tipping point.

Well, we now have it, one Republican in the country who has some small feelings of patriotism. Sad.

“Something Just Snapped”

I fully understand that many do not follow the news intently, and do not look much except at a few this and that things, may be even just the headlines, and some even politically involved. Such people showing up late to the party are going to be surprised at how out of control it is.

He joined the Republicans after he decided that Democrats had moved to far to the left? No shit? I suppose Fox News told him that. I would really love to see the legislation produced by this swing to the left.

Meanwhile, Rep. Markwayne Mullin of OK, interviewed on “Hear and Now,” just blasted the AP reporter (Jon Lemire) for asking Trump an outrageous “gotcha question” on foreign soil and basically insinuated there was some kind of conspiracy by saying he was sure the question was cooked up behind closed doors.

Women assume Trump’s obligation as a man is to act like a gentleman.

That’s when he gropes them.

A worker believes Trump’s obligation as a businessman is to pay for work done.

That’s when he stiffs them.

Voters believe political candidates won’t collude with foreign governments.

Is it becoming clear yet, Republicans?
