Let's give all the Trump voters a free trip to North Korea. See how they feel about Trump then. |
Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert said POTUS has narcissistic personality disorder. It's obvious he does to anyone in the mental health field, even those who are Republicans. I don't understand why he's not shoved out! The country will be run by Pence or Ryan, solid conservatives who are more likely to get things done that conservatives like. But we wouldn't be living under a crazy man who has the means to destroy the entire world. BTW, the Vanity Fair article mentioned that Kelly and Mattis have a plan to tackle the POTUS if he tries to launch a nuclear assault!! This is the stuff of fiction, yet it's real, right here in the USA. |

Hmm... When did Colbert get his medical degree? And, sorry, not believing what Vanity Fair chooses to print. I am sure this was attributed to an “unnamed source with knowledge of these discussions.” Yeah, right. |
Lalalalalalalalalalala When will it be time to take your fingers out of your ears? When we launch nukes? Or when Kelly and Mattis have tackled the commander-in-chief? |
PP here.. IDK, better late than never, sure, but they should've spoken out way before this moron took office (and yes, I know why they didn't). Now we are all stuck with him. I just seriously don't know if these guys were cluess about Trump prior to the election (which tells me they are dumb), or they knew and didn't say anything because they didn't want to risk their political careers. Sure speak out now; we need more too, but I wish they had the balls to do it earlier. |
Some of it, maybe a small part and maybe a large part, was respect for process. Trump was elected, he is the president. A number of Republicans seem to see Trump as the leader of their party and the selection of the people, so they have aligned themselves with him, possibly against their better judgment. It may have taken a while before the respect for the office was worn so thin that they could let their own personal thoughts and feelings guide them, rather than respect for the office and the party. |
You might have had a point about "unnamed sources" if it were only one reporter reporting them. But come on. Surely you have to start wondering when so many articles like this come out, one after another, from different new organizations. Are you really on the side of saying that dozens of reporters are just making things up whole handed, when all of us have already seen first hand his erratic, juvenile, narcissistic behavior? It's not as if he's hiding this part of his personality when he goes out in public. |
I thought progressives were against the Senate because it's an inherently undemocratic institution. Some Senator from a small population red state not only has as much power as a Senator from a big population blue state, the stupid fillibuster rule gives each senator even more disproportionately undemocratic power. You should be happy someone is finally challenging their little "club" even if you don't like the specifics of the challenge or the challenger. |
Also the stupid seniority rules and powerful committee chairmanships make it even more undemocratic. |
Are you referring to Trump or Corker? |
If for example Corker doesn't like Trump so much, instead of his insipid little sniping on the way out the door, he should actually consult with Schumer and other Democratic Senators and try to get some legislation passed. But it's not about actually doing anything with guys like Corker--it's all about him being a petulant little prima donna who is pissed off because Trump doesn't give a shit about Bob Corker and by gum you better give a shit about Bob Corker!!!! |
Trump, of course. Corker is very very upset that Trump doesn't give jack about his "senatorial prerogatives." Well if Corker doesn't like that, there's a bunch of Democratic senators and presumably at least some Republicans who feel the way Corker does, why don't they all get together and actually pass some legislation? |
How do you know he hasn't tried? Wasn't there some R congressman who was working with a D to fix ACA? It wasn't Corker, but it seems like some Rs are trying, though they are too few and far between. |
Actually, Corker calling out Trump for the irrational danger that he is, based on what he’s seen from Trump since the inauguration, is far more valuable than fooling around with some legislation that McConnell will not introduce to the floor.
Way to go, Bob, for speaking up. |
