'Human scum!' Trump issues threat against Romney and other moderate Republicans as impeachment talk

‘Human scum!’ Trump issues threat against Romney and other moderate Republicans as impeachment talk grows louder

Published 1 min ago on October 23, 2019



President Donald Trump issued a threat against wobbly Republican senators as impeachment heats up.

GOP Whip John Thune (R-SD), the second-ranking Senate Republican, admitted Wednesday that former Ukraine ambassador Bill Taylor’s testimony was “not a pretty picture,” and the president sent out a warning to him and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) not long after.

“The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats,” Trump tweeted, and then pinned to the top of his Twitter feed. “Watch out for them, they are human scum!”

Do Nothing Democrats. If he wasn't scared then why are they all trying to block investagation. If one is innocent one opens up and invites a investigation to prove they are innocent. However in this case they all know he's guilty.

They could "do more" if your toady in charge of the senate would stop cock-blocking any progress.

Calling someone who disagrees with you "human scum". Most presidential president EVAH.

Whoever occupies the WH next will have to have it fumigated for bedbugs. An exorcism might not hurt either.

get a conviction in the Senate if he was impeached today in the House.
Unless of course there is something even worse that he is afraid is about to leak out that he fears will be the straw that breaks the camels backs and causes most of the Repugnants to turn on him in the Senate to save their own careers.
Question is what could be that bad?
After all he has been behaving like a piece of shit since day one and in fact thats what he ran as so what could cause him to be so afraid? It sure as hell cannot be fear over being ridiculed or looking bad to the public as he already has done all that.
About the only thing I can really think of is the fear of going to prison but the only way that would happen is if he did something really major like say informed Russia about the names of agents we had there or something equally as bad.

...particularly when that group now includes the second-highest-ranking GOPper in the Senate. With the discipline that Moscow Mitch maintains in that caucus, you have to assume Thune wouldn't say anything unless the tide were starting to turn. (And, in fact, even McYurtle publicly refused to back up 45 when the latter claimed that Mitchie had said the Ukraine phone call was completely innocent.)

Just because they dared to speak out against him.
But then I could never have imagined Trump would be president of our country.
This is so bizarre.

I might add that, we, as experts on the subject, and quite knowledgeable...know exactly who the head..human scum in the world is , ...and that person...Is...DONALD TRUMP President of our Association.

...Let us give credit where credit is due, Donald Trump does know a lot about ..human scum,...because he has been our leader for a very long time. He actually defines the term better than anyone could.. , it is well known among us, that .."human scum" does not have the ability to call anyone else ..."human scum." Scum is really too scum laden to know what other scum is..

...Actually Trump has been the leader of our association for the last 30 years. He is the essence of who we are, have been, and will always be. in case you missed it, this is ...............................
..................apologies to human scum everywhere to be associated with Donald Trump..........

Three years ago Hillary was pilloried for calling the racist trash among Trump supported "a basket of deplorables" -- but now Trump can get away with a worse insult and it's directed at Members of Congress and other dignitaries.

... The regime did not limit itself to a purge of the SA. Having earlier imprisoned or exiled prominent Social Democrats and Communists, Hitler used the occasion to move against conservatives he considered unreliable.
