saying that Trump is insane and needs to be hospitalized in a psychiatric ward.

I wouldn’t place any bets on him going back to The White House. Anyway, the first time he only lasted 11 days. I’m surprised he hasn’t already written a book: “My week and half in Trumpworld: Life on The Edge.”

Putin invited him and he said he's considering it. Not sure that's an invitation he can refuse.

Their reward for being dutiful, subservient, and providing loyal cover to their Fuhrer — they will no doubt be players in the traveling shit-show.

In about 72 hours we may all come to know.

THAT was some galling quid-pro-quo MF45 was peddling to Cuomo today!

Maybe NY Guv and AG got a few bazingas coming Trumpsters' way!

Fingers crossed. And eyes, and toes, and ....

shortly after leaving the white house at 15k per month. Now they are on the Taxpayer Payroll at the same price. The Orange Anus is moving the payroll costs back to the Taxpayer,you know he will steal all the Campaign Funds left over.

keep mouth shut, and then rehire because hey, he can do whatever he wants now. Interesting. I can see that. But is it for real he was paying them all this time?

that Trump will be upset and blacklist them from working at Fox News, right wing talk radio, right wing "think" tanks or becoming RW op ed writers for all the RW newspapers.
