People jumping ship now will continue to be saddled with the horrors they have helped bring to this country. It's easy to leave when the end is near, it takes courage and a strong moral compass at an earlier time, and none of them showed either.

To say nothing of Stephen Miller's uncanny resemblance to Heydrich.

as Adolf Trumpler holes up in his bunker after losing everything, in the last days of his brutal fascist regime.

An American horror story.

I can't stay in Northern Ireland, because they are shaming me too badly, and since there's only 2 weeks left of Trump's term, I'm going to pretend to take the high road to try to cover my corrupt, seditious ass.

Spare me the fake outrage. Everyone with a brain saw this coming, everyone could see he was a mentally unstable racist fuck. Now all of a sudden these people are too " decent " to serve under him. Fuck them all

1. It makes those resigning look like morans for waiting until now to do it, and

2. I want it to be January 19, and it's only Trump, Meadows, Jarvanka, and one or two others in the entire place. No one else. I read even that Nazi Steven Miller was freaking out obver yesterday, so he may even leave.

I hate these people more than my abusive ex.
