The Senate's third-ranking Republican ripped his retiring colleagues for their criticisms of President Trump.

In an interview with NPR’s David Greene, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) said that it would have been better if senators Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Jeff Flake (R-Az.) had expressed their criticisms of Trump in private, rather than in public.

“I think that there are always going to be differences of opinion and disagreements, and that’s true in any family,” Thune said. “But I just think it’s better if you can keep those in-the-family feuds and fights within the family.”

Corker has publicly feuded with Trump, exchanging insults with the president via Twitter, and Flake used his retirement announcement this week to the Senate to slam the president and the divisive political climate Trump has caused.

9. I have just started reading the Book by Bandy X. Lee The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump

and if the first paragraph of the with Prologue is any indication of "malignant normality" and how she describe the her professional look and the other 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess this dangerous individual, and seeing it unfold with the likes of this asshole Thune trying to normalize this "malignant normality" and the media saying such things as give him a chance, and his advisers will be able to handle the situation, -------------------wrong

Presently McConnell, is getting ready to pack the appellate courts with the nominations from this "malignant normality" , which will effect the country for years to come if they are confirmed, three of the appellate judges under nomination were on the short list for the Supreme Court.

Corker and Flake, are cowards, they helped in this "malignant normality" by confirming people to the cabinet and presently to the court, they have side step there "responsibility" to protect the country.

If anyone wants to understand what this means read below------------------this is scary..................

11. but Trump is picking the fights. That's the problem.

He is like the drunk uncle at the Thanksgiving dinner, getting all belligerent towards everyone and lecturing on them on what's wrong with them.

For a teetotaler, Trump sure behaves like a drunk.
