Discussion: Trump Goes After Corker A Week After Senator Criticized White House

Self-evidently true that (a) Trump only heeds news that explicitly references himself and (b) his news intake is insanely tiny–basically, Fox & Friends and his own staff’s press gaggles.

Boy, the whole “John Kelly will bring stability” thing is really workin’ out for ya, right Mitch?

Trump: Let’s get that guy from SC who called MLK ‘Martin Luther Coon’ to move to Nashville.

Wow, I never thought that as bad as Trump would be, we’d see him actively trying, with words, money and recruitment support, to unseat long-time Republiscum politicians! This is good news yet one other good side I’ve yet to see widely discussed.

Just think how many House and Senate incumbents are scared shitless that Trump may zero in on their upcoming election runs if they dare to oppose him. Hence, as he keeps issuing unhinged, racist, stupid and dangerous utterances, these hapless Republiscum warriors get tied ever tighter to his crazy presidency.

We can only hope for evermore loony Trumpisms!

Based on the video, Sarah actually said Corker’s comments ‘do not dignify a response’, which seemed an odd formulation; so glad we have the benefit of media correction… not.

If Trump got wind that an anonymous maid at one of his properties made even a mildly negative comment about him, I think he’d tear the whole place apart trying to find out who did it. Then tweet about her relentlessly to shame her.

This is exactly what happens when you skim Cliff Notes…Sarah isn’t alone. Tweety is a regular geyser of malapropisms to list just one other example.

I like yours better.

Terminally incurious and only interested in self-aggrandizement. Probably not the first two attributes one would normally seek in a job applicant.

I think we might have made a mistake in electing him.

Now that you mention it… you may be on to something there. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, eh?

[taps foot, twice]

Yepper… I think you nailed it.

Well, best not to be too hasty in these things.

Reminds me of that wonderful line, ascribed to Nelson Rockefeller: “You are no longer beneath my contempt.”

It’s like a twisted variant of Life of Pi - the GOP stuck in a lifeboat with a hungry tiger - actually more like a rabid skunk - and no way to get off.

I must be getting senile. Here I am, thinking the Republicans may be our only hope against Trump’s mental illness.

I thought he and Corker were actually almost friends.

Yeah he doesn’t have any friends and this is why.

Good movie reference. Here’s another. Hey, GOP, you know what you gotta do.
