19. How many times have they done this?
Fri Feb 8, 2019, 12:19 PM
Feb 2019

This isn't the first and certainly won't be the last time they've used strong-arm tactics like this. scarborough hinted that legislators in both the House and Senate, and possibly himself and his co-host, have been blackmailed by trump and his goons. That could easily explain their acquiescence to trump's madness.

This would also explain "tough guy" chris christie's total capitulation to and his willingness to be publicly humiliated over and over again by trump.

They're all cowards. And not a single one of those traitors belongs anywhere near a seat of power.

They all belong in prison for misprision of treason, among their myriad other crimes.
