The Republican senators went to the White House and saw a president so repetitive and rambling, some thought he might be suffering from early Alzheimer’s. But they know which way the wind is blowing. They gave him a standing ovation.

1. Party before country

Sure, we have a brain-addled nincompoop running the country, but we could get phat tax cuts out of it.

[octoberlib]

3. They covered up for Reagan , too.

[Irish_Dem]

13. They covered up for Reagan's dementia and Bush being drunk all the time.

They only care about money and power.

14. Daddy Bush or Dubya?

[Irish_Dem]

15. Baby Bush was the drunk. They covered up Daddy Bush's long time mistress

who lived in Georgetown. And they covered up for Dan Quayle who had a big problem. I don't want to say what it was.

But the list of cover ups goes on an on.

(I have friends inside the beltway, this stuff is common knowledge there.)

[bathroommonkey76]

16. Oh come on!

Share Dan Quayle's addiction with us!

[Irish_Dem]

17. It is an addiction of sorts, but not drugs or alcohol. That is all I will say. nt

[octoberlib]

19. I know you can't say but my guess is sex. There was that scandal with the playmate before

he became VP.

[Xipe Totec]

2. Progerial Alzheimer's nt

[struggle4progress]

4. "It's yet another way he's like Reagan! So let's all stand and applaud!"

[Wwcd]

5. Unless he's had alzheimers since he was 30, I think who we see is just WHO HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN

Cheater, liar, money laundrer, tax evader, criminal, traitor, asshole.
This is who he is, I'm not giving him the benefit of an out. Yes, he may be developing aging issues, but he began his criminal deeds long ago.

[octoberlib]

7. He's always been a scam artist and an asshole but his speech has deteriorated from

when he was younger. It's obvious if you watch his old video clips.

[Kolesar]

8. He perfected that shamelessness when he is hurting somebody

That's his narcissism.

[Goonch]

6. What you mean EARLY

[Kaleva]

9. What is this stuff about standing ovations?

[octoberlib]

11. Trump invited them to a dinner to talk about tax reform.

They said he hardly mentioned tax reform and kept rambling on about the usual stuff. Trump claimed that at the end of the dinner they gave him a standing ovation and from what Brooks wrote , it's true.

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. Fuck this excuse bullshit, though if that is what they have to do to 25th him, fine.

[Gothmog]

12. Trump has been showing signs of senility for some time

[peggysue2]

18. So, what is more shocking?

That Trump was rambling and unhinged or that fellow Republicans gave him a standing ovation after a disjointed rant?

What are their excuses? Beyond the fact that they sold their souls, presumably for tax reform and the ACA's repeal. The former has yet to be determined and the second was an utter debacle.

Or is the madness, the monkey brain affliction simply spreading, a communal brain fever?

I keep saying I can't be surprised anymore. But then I am. The level of craven indifference to the health of the country is, indeed, shocking.

All these people deserve tar & feathering. Ugh!!!!
