1. Come on! Aide is complicit.

That aide is in the White house pursuing power at the expense of country.

The aide should resign if he or she has a problem with the tweets. What about the voter suppression commission or the Holocaust denial? Aide is ok with all of those in pursuit of power, but not early morning tweets?

Give me a break. That aide is complicit and should resign if they have any principles beyond pursuit of money and power.

12. Indeed. It is time to put country over

Party, Job, affiliations, whatever.

[KingCharlemagne]

16. Just another petty Eichmann, trying to make sure the trains to Auschwitz are

on time. To the gulag with the lot of them!

[Cha]

2. ".. unorthodox ways.. " Jeezbus! Is that what

they're calling BULLSHIT these days?

Poor aides.. weren't up to snuff on handling trump's Bungling the Firing of James Comey. Rofl

Hasn't there been a lot of that lately.. staff, aides, underlings NOT able to properly explain away trump's Fuck Ups?

So Van Jones.. still think he's "presidential"?

[yuiyoshida]

8. I can't even imagine what it be like to be a

Congressional aide, these days,. I be keeping my hands in my lap, way too often.

eats the second scoop of ice cream at the White House gains a perfect sense of their own existential absurdity and in the full realization of how pathetic their life of privledge has become has a massive coronary and face plants into the ice cream. Thank you, Amen.

PS live and on TV would once again show both your infinite mercy and kick ass sense of humor.

Amen, amen.

11. Let us pray.

15. Let it be so

[KingCharlemagne]

17. Props for the slightly-off Caine Mutiny allusion! Think it was fresh

strawberies, not ice cream, in the original.

5. Proof!

Evangelicals will say that's proof they were right---Trump will bring Americans to Jesus.

13. Borrowing!

6. This sort of thing

is going to continue throughout the life of this Presidency. He's not going to change so either they deal with it or leave. No one seems to be able to affect it either way since the GOP Congress refuses to do its job.

[Mr. Ected]

7. Not to be indelicate, but WH staff are like the family of an alcoholic

Torn between loyalty and doing their jobs and having to deal with the fall-out of his extraordinary disease. Making excuses for each of his rants, trying to bring clarity to actions and statements that bear no relation to reality. Dealing with his abuse and trying to put on a good face for the public.

Unlike family, though, these folks are there by choice. Therefore, no mercy.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. yep. n/t

18. Worse. Family trying to help. Most GOP trying to hurt average Americans

So sad that young GOP got into the White House by trying to hurt liberals and the working class, and now find in addition to being purchased by GOP donors, they're now complicit in autocracy and crimes.

I feel so bad for them.

9. What does "sr" mean?

I thought I'd figured out "senate Republican," but reply #7 suggests it's somehow a white house aid??
