Trump Going To War With The Senate Is The Last Thing The GOP Needs Right Now

But it’s exactly what the country needs.

Poor Dear Leader. He may be forced to learn that the Congress is a co-equal branch of government. Maybe.

At the least, it looks like the Rs are going to ignore him as much as possible: Give him a pat on the back, tell him good boy, let the adults talk now.

Trump thinks they are ā€˜his’ Senators just like ā€˜his’ generals and ā€˜his’ Supreme Court. He doesn’t get the whole three branches thing…that is why we don’t elect BUSINESSMEN (or even faux businessmen) to run government…

But it may be exactly what the country needs… force the Senators to work across the aisle & fix O-care, stall tax cuts for the rich, slow march nominees… while building chaos in the GOP primaries that let the Democrats catch a bigger wave.

It is just a matter of time before the warning tweets by the Preshitident Anusmouth-Putindickholster turn into humiliations and threats. He ramps up his unhinged anger to code red levels pretty quickly.

Complicit. She’s hoping for Trump to prevail or she’ll get dragged into the abyss with him, IMO.

Or reality TV stars…Just wait till next season. I’m gonna get new writers, a new cast, new director. We’re going to end the show each week with a huge win of some kind. It’s going to be great, terrific. Believe me.

Every one of Trump’s instincts is screwy and divisive. So be it, he and the Republican party have proven that they cannot govern or advance America’s interests.

All the winning. It’s too much.

ā€œYou get a lot more with sugar and honey than you get with vinegar.ā€ Or with urine, although that may be an acquired taste for some.

How much longer, Mich and Paul? How much longer?

ā€œRepublicans hopeā€¦ā€ is the mantra for this failing Administration.

ā€œI think they’ve got to get a tax bill through now. Republicans have got to show that they’re capable of governing.ā€

Passing yet another tax cut when the government is running perpetual deficits only constitutes governing if you ignore all that Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, and form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty stuff.

Unfortunately, probably a lot longer. There are too many GOP House members who fear getting primaried from the right by a do-or-die Trumpite to impeach, and nowhere the 19 GOP Senators needed to convict a GOP President with the other 48.

Uh, might I suggest that Donald Trump himself was the last thing the GOP needed. Everything else is a foregone conclusion.

Then again, Donald Trump himself was the foregone conclusion after the past 8 years of Sarah Palin/Tea Party insanity. GOP, you are just fucking yourself over and over. For the rest of us non-GOPers, it’s our job to make sure you don’t take us all down the same shithole you’re diving headfirst into.

McConnell and Ryan have only expressed ā€œconcernā€ about Trump’s outrageous behavior and crazy pronouncements, they have no principles. It would be generous to call them tepid.

I’ve got to admit, even though this administration might start WWIII, cause the greatest depression in history, end civilization as we know it, etc… It’s extremely entertaining. Is all of this entertainment worth the end of the world? Probably not. But it beats having a boring end, I guess.

Yeah, they’d best start scapegoating him and the entire family, otherwise the mid-terms are going to be a BLOODBATH
