Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

Well, thanks for that. Can you see if your GOP colleagues are awake yet this morning?

Can't wait to hear from Susan Collins.

Her vapors couch is getting quite the workout. She may have to get it re-upholstered.

(2,252 posts)You raise a problem and offer no solution. Yuck. Hate that.
Maybe its deeper than just the president, Romney. Maybe its your party.

Spineless, gutless bastards.
Trump can't gut the country by himself - he needs well placed gutless minions. Did i mention the Courts.

(260 posts)Not impressed. The Republicans made this Faustian bargain so they could load up the judiciary with activist right-wingers and cut taxes for the rich. Romney needs to go much further than he has. So do many other Republicans in office right now. But they are unable to truly put country over party.

(25,183 posts)He figures that Trump loses, and the GOP will go on a binge of "Woe is me, how can I ever recover from this horrible time?"
He plans on riding in on a white horse in 2024 to be their salvation, the only pure and noble person in the GOP to have seen the light before it all went to shit.
Still not going to work with the fundies, they will never elect a Mormon president.
