Trump is ordering Republicans to defend him at all costs.

He had to have been shocked when Mitch McConnell contradicted his lies yesterday?

If you cannot lie for him, you cannot be on his team. That is a given.

We see the Trump ass-kissers storming the impeachment hearing room today, in efforts to disrupt and create a nuisance. All for the benefit of defending Donald Trump.

They are showing America who they really are. They are not deserving of the positions they now hold in the US Congress.

But, what they are really doing is dividing the Republican caucus. Division is one thing that Trump does very well. Even when it is his own Party.

That's an interesting thought. Let's see if the stupid prank today does ignite any disapproval from Republicans. It might have crossed the line. Maybe?

Few seem to have been all that bothered up to now. Hopefully they're working on breaking out of that form soon.

The cultists will see today's GOP mob-rule at the hearings and will take this as their license to disrupt.
As we get further along on our way to November 2020, these little incidents will start to become more common.
Look for the fascist/cultists to disrupt Democratic functions, rallies, campaign stops, and local Dem meetings.

This will certainly not end well.

It's up for the American people to just be tired of this *. Sadly, for many they love it.

this day was coming and that was forecast by John Bohener a week after the Tea Party through him out the door. Remember,him calling his Party just a bunch of Gangs.

They received foreign money and were then told where it came from...but instead of self reporting, they decided that they wanted more!

Now it's tool late for them to turn back and they know if Trump goes down, he's taking all of them with him!


The second reason could be that they're compromised by the Russians...and no one has a better history of compromising westerners, then the Russians...

A gilded toilet here, a tiger rug there, hide the dead hookers and underage kids, then invite the cameras in and tell the nation how great things are.

And his basest idiot-base will fawn and preen over the man-child emperor, complimenting him on his suit of new clothes.
