    Trump has already threatened a purge and revenge against people who hurt his fee fees.

    Same old shit. People supporting radicalization and installation of a dictator find themselves shipped off to a gulag or out of a job because they all think they’re going to get to participate in the new power structure, except dictators never share. They put family and extreme loyalists first. The rest are just window dressing to be traded out at first inconvenience.

    This is why voting in Congress should be anonymous. And this is exactly why purse holders wanted voting to be public- so they could carve out any nonconformists.

    Any way. These fuckers better learn from the Greeks and form a Phalanx.

      Anonymous voting by elected representatives may be the goofiest thing I’ve heard of in a while.

      I agree completely, but your comment begs the question: can you supply a picture of Trump that isn’t? He always looks like mummified foreskin wearing a cotton candy toupee to me.

        So, funny story, I had my foreskin mummified the other day. Have you guys seen it? I smeared some pineapple cotton candy mixed with motor oil on it…accidentally.

      Of course I care. The fragmentation of the Republican party is something that many of us have been hoping to see for a long time.

      The good thing about the situation now, for those of us who think Trump is an evil piece of s***, is that he doesn’t have too much power. He can kind of pressure people who are up for re-election in 2 years, but his voice will mean nothing at all in 4 years. Also, many politicians want to wield their power so that they can either feel powerful or get richer, and if all they do is rubber stamp the word from the White House, nobody’s going to give them the time of day.

      If it is a sign that the GOP will start beating eating itself, that would make my life a lot easier.
