1. Yates has nothing to fear but Trump does and his tweets are evidence.

[chelsea0011]

2. Who is this fucker tweeting to? Everyone already knows the only questions from

republicans will be about leaks. the POTUS is a 2 year old.

[NewJeffCT]

14. Conservative Charles Krauthammer on Trump

"This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value — indeed exists — only insofar as it sustains and inflates him."

27. GAWD how I love it when cons turn against him. nt

[niyad]

35. wow, charles, you have finally come around. pity it is too damned late, and there he sits, in

the most powerful office in the world.

[NewJeffCT]

38. the article was from last summer

and, Krauthammer was one of the few "never Trump" Republicans out there. Unfortunately, the "never Trump" crowd seemed to be mostly Republican pundits and not actual politicians.

[niyad]

39. thank you for pointing that out.

[NewJeffCT]

41. I just love that entire paragraph from Krauthammer

even though he's a dedicated conservative.

[niyad]

42. same here.

[riversedge]

3. REC.

[mcar]

4. Ugh

[mopinko]

5. i any man in this country should know the diff between council and counsel,

it's cheato sporkhands.
i want an mri of that things head.

[snooper2]

8. At least we know fuckface sent it himself LOL

[meow2u3]

32. Cheato Sporkhands

[malaise]

6. LOL

Should have seen yours

[SticksnStones]

17. I'll see your LOL and raise you a ROFL. nt

[malaise]

19. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. I'd love it if the Madman tweets his way into an Obstruction of Justice impeachment charge.

It would be so......classically Greek.

[spanone]

18. i doubt they would EVER impeach one of their own...it's not in their DNA

[George II]

25. Republicans were the tipping point in Nixon's impeachment. As loathsome as they all are....

....they're also blind patriotic zealots, and when the evidence becomes compelling even they will turn on trump.

[maxrandb]

26. Sorry to disagree

but they are NOT "Patriotic Zealots". That term would imply that they have some "love of country".

They will only turn on Trump when their own political power is in jeopardy.

Don't for a second think that they love 'Murika. They only love the largess they can grift from it.

[old guy]

31. This is where I am too.

tRump is still a great asset to them as he is deflecting a lot of criticism that should go equally to them. They need him to sign every crappy bill they send him as long as they can. I also don't think they fear the 2018 elections because gerrymandering will protect their sorry asses (in the House).

[volstork]

36. Agreed.

Or should I say, in regards to the GOPers, "a greed." Greed is all that they are about.

[NewRedDawn]

30. That was when there was actual

Liberal Republicans. No such a animal exists today! In fact they were more liberal than some Dems.

[George II]

37. Barry Goldwater is the one who convinced him to resign.

[NewRedDawn]

44. Yes, but he was virulent Anti Soviet Union.

Today they are in bed with Putin.

[Alice11111]

46. Yeah, I remember when one's party was not such a defining

thing. Now, we are in a political civil war. Liberal Republican is dwad. Lindsey Graham used to be as conservative as they could get. Now, he is one of the few w any sense of moderation. He didn't change. The political spectrum scewed further right.

[VOX]

9. 45's "preemptive" tweet appears to signal some anxiety...

It's the kind of irrational demand a child makes when s/he's actually the one "in trouble."

[hlthe2b]

11. "You tell Mommy and Daddy, I'm gonna break your toys and tell them YOU did it"

Some never get past the childish tactics...

[VOX]

12. Precisely!

He's reverted to toddler status.

[WinkyDink]

10. Dear Donnie: Try looking at your own WHC members.

[Guilded Lilly]

13. Unhinged and still getting away with it. Reality TV, only the Internet version.

[MoonRiver]

15. Cheeto will cut a deal to resign, and keep all presidential perks, guaranteed.

Reason for resignation will be "medical."

[MADem]

24. He looks sick as shit--this was after sitting on tarmac at Andrews for 40 min yesterday.

Sucks to watch a beloved POTUS receive a PROFILE IN COURAGE award/ know that's never going to be in his future.

[MoonRiver]

29. I'm really surprised he didn't fall down the steps!

And, yeah, sucks to be him.

[MFM008]

34. Fatty hitting the buffet

Again.

[hatrack]

16. "WH Council"?

"Counsel"?

[nolabear]

33. Who knew? (She knew!)

Imagine what it would have been like to have a smart person holding our fates on their hands...

[countryjake]

43. The printed media needs to change (sic) to (sick) ...

whenever they're quoting one of his tweets. It could be the new "presidential" vocabulary designation, so we'll always know who it is that they're referencing.

[Phoenix61]

20. Dementia patients don't manage stress very well

Neither do narcissists. I really hope this pushes him right over the edge. I don't think even his handlers could hide a full-blown psychotic break.

[MADem]

21. Moron doesn't stop to think someone on "WH Council" might have spilled beans?

Or maybe an admin assistant, or one of those butlers who brings him his cokes?

[spanone]

22. BREAKING: Obama personally warned trump about flynn!!!!!!

[Adrahil]

23. How is this not an attempt to intimidate a witness.

This is getting beyond surreal.

[exboyfil]

28. The Democrats need to ask the Republicans

about this during the hearing. Let them go on record about whether it is appropriate.

[L. Coyote]

40. WH responds to Obama warning news with another grammatical train wreck:

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

[Cha]

45. So called president.. rigged in by the freaking russians

for one thing.
