It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center.
Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.

6. Good one Bob.

[Dustlawyer]

86. Disagree! Great one Bob!

My 80 year old mom has been sick and hasn't been getting up much when she is ordinarily out in her garden most of the day. She saw this on TV and got up, went out and found me just to tell me, still laughing!

I don't always like Bob Corker (never til recently), but when I do,
It is for statements like this!

[Baitball Blogger]

7. Trump may be the reality t.v. President, but

he isn't ready for prime time.

[Docreed2003]

10. Truth from the GOP...will wonders never cease...

[Scarsdale]

26. Amen to that!

Finally, a repub. who speaks the truth. He is not running for re-eection so now the truth can be told.

[mopinko]

48. yeah, i am hoping the wave of retirees

might just save our asses. not holding my breath, but hoping.

[Snake Plissken]

12. Damn that one not only left a mark, the astronauts on the International Space Station just tweeted

that they can see the imprint of Corker's hand on the side of Trump's face.

[mnhtnbb]

24. Link?

[pangaia]

36. LOL

[Juliusseizure]

58. 😂

[Mrs. Overall]

13. Ouch! ...that hurts good!

[malaise]

14. Joy Reid on this NOW n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

55. Trump has the mind and attitude of a 9 yr old, if he is attacked by those he

perceives to be his base or friend, he will lash out the way a 9 yr old would.

Anything is possible, nuclear war, etc.

But this is what we wanted, I mean some of us anyway.

[sarge43]

15. That's a corker!

[WinkyDink]

29. It had to be said!

[sarge43]

35. When it's moving slow and low, just have to go for it n/t

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. That delicious burn is gonna leave a mark!

[shraby]

18. Didn't know Corker had it in him. He's becoming a human being!

[NewJeffCT]

85. His words are meaningless

unless he actually takes action against Trump. He still voted to approve all the deplorable cabinet nominees and the repeal Obamacare how many times in the Senate?

[gordianot]

19. I hate to have to agree with failed Republicans discussing other failing Republicans.

[calimary]

47. Me, too, gordianot.

A mere few minutes ago, I said to my husband, "shit, can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Bob Corker."

[smirkymonkey]

20. Touche!

[Funtatlaguy]

22. Good thing Corker is retiring.

Otherwise, he would have a major challenge in the primary from a Trumpista.

[volstork]

33. There are nothing but trump humpers

lining up behind him. (e.g.-- marsha blackburn)

[Funtatlaguy]

51. She is so completely foul.

Nasty, nasty person.

[pangaia]

37. Good thing he is retiring or he never would have said it.

[BigmanPigman]

50. Too bad he didn't write is when it showed more courage,

like 6 months ago and before he announced retirement. It is good now but would have been great earlier.

[iamateacher]

23. 37K ...snap!

[onetexan]

25. LOL this is so pathetic

Senator Corker is absolutely correct, we have a man baby needing babysitting round the clock.

[volstork]

27. Can't say i've ever been proud

to have Corker as my Senator, but this is certainly a glimmer of hope.

[spooky3]

28. Yes, but did Corker deny Trump's allegations?

[SweetieD]

30. Damn!!! Ethered!

[Thrill]

31. Wow

[Mrs. Overall]

32. If you look at Corker's Twitter feed, he usually averages 20-150 likes per Tweet--he's now

averaging 1000 likes per minute on this one.

Obviously it is resonating...

[jrthin]

34. That's how you do it. nt

[peacebuzzard]

38. Truth will set you free

Thank you Sen. Corker!

[bluestarone]

39. now only if Corker

would release some really good shit he knows about Moron THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

[nolabear]

41. I feel so dirty. I'm crushing on a Republican.

I'll get better, but

[oberliner]

42. Sadly, his retirement means a far RW loon will take his senate seat

Marsha Blackburn is awful.

[Juliusseizure]

69. Corker's voting record is abysmal

But he hasn't tried to repeal the Civil Rights Act or called for secession. I suppose in that context he's great, but I'd hope we could go on the offensive more effectively rather than applauding the best of a sociopathic party intent on oligarchy and now apparently white supremacy.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

43. So, what did Drumpf tweet that upset his blood-red apple cart?

Can't stand to go into Agent Orange's twitter feed, makes me ill - can someone summarize?

I trust Corker about as far as I could pick him up and throw him (not far - a coffee cup's a challenge this morning).

[Luciferous]

72. He was tweeting about how Corker wasn't running again because Trump wasn't

backing him and blaming him for the Iran deal.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

77. Thanks - what a repulsive and arrogant man!

Seems to love making enemies.

[Takket]

44. FINALLY! SOMEONE speaks to drumpf on a level he understands!!!!!!!!

[meow2u3]

45. Corker really lived up to his name on that one!

KABOOM! WTG calling the Toxic Tangerine the overgrown infant he is!

[kentuck]

46. LOL

[bitterross]

52. Surprised he didn't post a Corker2020 link with it.

Sure seems like the start of a campaign. I am not in favor of any Southern senator. No matter if they seem sane in comparison to 45. That isn't a very high bar to clear.

Also, I'm from TN originally. It's politicians are backwards ass fucks. They do not represent the best of TN.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

78. You echo my sentiments exactly.

Raised in middle TN during Al Gore, Sr. years, 50s/60s era. Everything is now upside-down!

Don't even enjoy going home there anymore.

[L. Coyote]

53. WOW, 126,555 likes already.

54. Boom goes da dynamite!

About time people start lobbing back at our would be dictator. He likes to fire at will, it is time for him to get a taste of his own medicine. It will only enrage him further but maybe if he gets mad enough he will blow a gasket.

Keep those jabs coming, Mr. Corker. You struck a nerve, I am sure!

KA-BOOM!

I just added my like, it's 130K now

60. Clean shot to the jaw! *ba-boom*

That’ll put a twist in Donnie’s trap-door onesie.

[mitch96]

61. The best payback Corker could give to tRrump would be

Would be to "nominate" him for impeachment!!!! I think he deserves it, don't you??
m

[malaise]

84. Corker is in the Senate

You need someone in the House

[mitch96]

87. Sooooooo

He could nominate someone in the house to impeach 'em, right? You know what I mean...
m

[malaise]

88. LOL

We both wish

[LovingA2andMI]

63. Senator Corker Does Not Need To Step Down...

He Must STEP UP and Run for the U.S. Senate as an Independent or Democrat. #TheResistance needs this type of truth-telling to Cheeto.

[Angry Dragon]

76. bull.........he only grew balls because he is retiring

[janx]

64. It's about time--

although he obviously isn't the only Republican senator who feels this way.

[Madam45for2923]

65. Hmmm Donald lying about Corker asking for endorsement?:

Two sources familiar with matter tell me this tweet is false. Trump told Corker multiple times he would endorse him.
Also Trump called Corker early last week and asked him to *reconsider* his decision to retire and said again he'd endorse him, per source

Link to tweet

[janx]

67. Yes.

CNN is reporting this too.

[janx]

66. CNN:

Moments after Trump attacked him on Twitter, Sen. Corker said the White House is an 'adult day care center'

Gawd, finally someone has the guts/support to speak out.

[AC_Mem]

70. unfortunately

they only seem to grow a pair when they are retiring and know that they don't have to live a daily lie in order to get the money to fund their "elections".

Sad times.

[Mr. Ected]

71. If only the media addressed Trump in this context

And quit trying to normalize him, and maybe just maybe putting the Russia thing front and center instead of pretending that they have to wait until he's indicted before they dare point out the FACTS that other news outlets have reported.

So sick of the double standard. It exacerbates an already impossible situation.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

79. Truth! Our media fears the right-wing.

They tippy-toe with anything against a right-winger, yet amplify the noise against a Dem (e.g. Hillary, 2016). They learned this, I think, from Rupert Murdoch and his trashy tabloids and Faux News, both here and in the UK.

Apparently, they fear repercussions from the huge mass of money controlled by the right around the globe.

[DFW]

80. Coming from a Democrat, this wouldn't have raised an eyebrow

Coming from a prominent southern Republican, it's a 7.8 on the Richter scale.

[bdamomma]

81. Adult Day Care

that is pretty accurate. Thank you Senator Corker.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

83. If those little hearts mean "likes" he's just shy of 300K. Truthiness...nt
