McCain has decided to throw caution to the winds, since he’s got brain cancer and nothing to really lose. Perhaps some other Republicans would be honorable enough to say what the truth is, but not too many are terminal, I guess. Or at least they don’t think they are. Gerrymandering made them all spineless cowards
I used to think Mitt Romney was the biggest coward in politics. After all, the Affordable Care Act was almost the exact same thing as Romneycare, which was Romney’s only real accomplishment, yet he spent the entire campaign hiding from it. Then I thought that Trump is the biggest coward in politics because of Trump. Now I think the Republicans who refuse to stand up to him are even bigger cowards—which I hadn’t thought was even theoretically possible. So, you see, Trump is teaching us new things!
This is too much like the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Only we’re doing it in less than 12 months rather than 400 years… And we could be saved…. It would only take A Few Good Men…. To put their heads together… And say " we ain’t going to take it no more, you could stand us in front of the gates of hell, but we ain’t going to take it no more".
Maybe the fault is in our humor. How often are politicians ridiculed for simply being politicians? How would we fare at our jobs if it was constantly ridiculed? Would we stay long no matter how well a job we did? And when we do finally leave, what type of person would take our place? What “outside” support would we, or they seek or accept to stay at such a much ridiculed job? This would leave only sleaze-balls to work at a job seen as being a sleaze-ball job. And how well would a sleaze-ball do that job?
Maybe politics and politicians aren’t so funny after all.

He needs a ride in an old sports car, wire wheels, that long tie, and the Isadora Duncan effect.

Why can’t all the other repubs grow a smidgen of a backbone like McCain’s?

Trump would not have lasted six weeks in a North Vietnamese prison. I wish he had gone.

OUR SOCIOPATHIC PREZ – {rhyme}
Yuuge is the catalog
of stuff which is wrong with our prez.
An unconscionable demogogue
who’s screwy in all he says,
and who acts like a grade-school bully.
He’s sociopathic, fully.

RX for the PRESIDENT – {limerick}
The Donald should wear a straitjacket
and eat some pills, – the whole packet
of meds from Pfizer’s
such as tranquilizers.
As prez he simply can’t hack it.

DIVERSIONS BY TWEET – {1.60 limericks}
A pattern in Trump’s truth-perversions: -
- He tweets to create diversions
from what’s going wrong
fast-paced and headlong, …
… so the media won’t cast aspersions
but instead play along
without banging the gong
on Trump’s destructive exertions.

Psycho paranoid Donald Trump just suggested the FBI, Democrats and Russia might all be co-conspirators.

As long as the Moron in Chief isn’t fully contested by the cowardly Congress, they’ll all go merrily on their conniving way.
