Fine words.

And yet…voted with Spankee over 94% of the time. Sigh.

Another enabler.

NOW he’s “beyond repugnant”? You didn’t realize that all the time you’ve been giving him a hummer, Kinzinger?

How many times has Fat Ass threatened his rivals and critics with bodily harm and political retribution? And now this wussy mofo finds a spine.

Looks to me like someone thinks the political winds in his district might be changing and he’s worried about his upcoming election. The hypocritical fuck.

Donald knows he’s going down and doesn’t care what he says(pretty much his norm) to save his ass.The most interesting thing he’s saying is calling what others are doing treason and should be punished as treason, when it’s he that’s actually committing and has committed treason.

It is a floating civil war. Trump wades from one side of the pool of state to the other on his rubber ducky civil war, reveling in his paranoid fantasies on his unsecured phone with his frenemies for hours of executive time at a stretch, sucking down mass quantities of Diet Coke while scheming to get back at all of his enemies.

What!? A Republican found a statement from Donnie two scoops that is too extreme, AND actually said so.

Times are a changing for sure.

Kinzinger won 59-41 in 2018. It’s a safe red district.

I don’t know. Kind of seems like they became a sleeper cell and finally took over the government 150 years later.

As unjust as it may seem, so many of us just want him GONE

Even with no charges.

His NPD will not allow him to do this, but this kind of cray cray makes a Resignation-With-No-Charges much more attractive.

His ABSENCE from the office of the Presidency is fast becoming an environmental, domestic, economic and foreign-policy imperative.

Man needs to be removed This Minute.

I guess, in hindsight, maybe (just maybe), some Republicans are finally beginning to see the light, and are emerging from the abyss of Susy Collins deep concern?

I foresee a tipping point coming very soon where Trump’s antics trigger even more Republicans to come out against him which will, in turn, trigger even more outrageous behavior from Trump and so on. It will get very ugly but, in the end, no one will have the stomach to stand by him.

Before it’s all over, Trump will be acting far worse than this in public and on national TV:

They’ve timed the regeneration of their spines to not appear too early in the election cycle, but some will emerge too late to save themselves from the frosty reception voters will give them so close to election time.

Republicans are still gonna be Republicans. I don’t expect that to change. I do, however, greatly appreciate the courage it took to stand up to him like this and I hope this is just the first drop of rain before the tsunami.

Civil war? Probably not. I think there may be a few civil dust-ups,may be even a civil skirmish or two in front of the WalMart, mostly because about 38% or his 38% actually believe they’re in the majority, but most of these nobs will stand down when they’re told to by their fundagelical handlers and assisted-living caregivers…
