In reply to the discussion: Neext Week's Newsweek Cover - Insane in the Membrane [View all]Grammy23
(6,124 posts)16. Long before the convention and way before the election....
People who knew tRump for what he is were speaking out. It was not a closely guarded secret thst he was a con and seriously flawed. Anyone who ever did business with him knew. But the Republicans had an agenda they wanted to work. They jumped aboard the tRump train, I am sure thinking they could outfox him. Use him and then abandon him. Take advantage of his naïveté when it came to Washington. Little did they know his massive ego had an agenda, too. So it has turned out to be a nightmare for all concerned.
They are finding him to be just as difficult as many people warned them he would be. His dishonest ways are evident. The snarky things done during the campaign are coming back to bite many of them on their butts. Mueller could well end up catching a lot of the Republican leaders in his net.
It has been no picnic for tRump. He is finding out things are a lot harder than he imagined. Being President is not just a ceremonial job with lots of pomp, bowing and scraping to him. It actually involves work and stress. Being almost universally hated by the people he needs to work with has driven him into the Democratic camp just so he might find a win to put on the score board.
I feel no pity for any of these people. They deserve each other and as things heat up with Mueller, I am watching with glee as the various players have their asses puckered up to their esophaguses. This has the potential to make Watergate look like child's play. The hardest thing is knowing it may take much longer to put all the pieces in place to convict all of them of high crimes and misdemeanors. Just hoping the Madman in DC doesn't get us all annihilated with his bluster and braggadocio.

And never forget that Reagan was the first to use foreign meddling to influence an election....

Really? "false-flags" or other ruses have been pulled by every leader since the beginning of time

I still can't believe people vote for candidates who openly say they hate government.

Never thought I'd be giving Lil Kim any props but he won that round over the Dotard.

Always, the bottom line. But it's nice when that coincides with doing the right thing. :-)

It's not another word for brain. "Insane in the membrane" makes no sense at all.
