    Just another reminder that the Republicans have the power to stop this ride at any time they want.

      Spoiler alert: “Top Republicans” will bottom for Trump and take it with zero resistance like they have for almost a decade. They have no pride, loyalty to country, or actual power.

      They sold their souls to the devil and won’t do anything but complain about it privately while supporting and voting for treason publicly.

    “Trump is keeping us out of the loop!”

    • An actual complaint from literally the only people in the country with the power to do something about it.

    If only you’d grow some balls and compel the Executive Branch to somehow keep you IN the loop. I wonder what that might look like?

    But some would like a heads-up on office closures, staffing cuts and other changes that affect their constituents.

    That’s just so they know when to stop taking calls.

    But this has always been the plan. The GOP have wanted this for years. If they still bother pretending to care, any outrage you see will be purely for performance.

    Believe me, we are aware of all sorts of things about this “Signal,” the best people tell me, really smart people, they’re talking. I don’t know it, never met it, but I hear it’s out there, maybe doing things, maybe not. But let me tell you, we have the best encryption, the greatest, nobody does encryption like we do, and that’s what’s important…

    But our lord and savior, he doesn’t speak BACK. We can’t infer or take ANY kind of actions.

    Does that sound like a typical Bible thumping Wingnut? Not knowing what’s going on hasn’t stopped them before. Fucking spineless.

    Old fucks tuned out thenews for so long they didn’t hear about how the new administration operates without them.
