What truly baffles me is how anyone who has ever worked for 45, doesn't publicly stand up to him?
What are they afraid of?
He's just a bully. People are supposed to stand up to bullies.
Why are so many people around him such damnable cowards?

I've asked that same question for over a decade. Sniveling cowards who whore themselves out to a child rapist predator.

Example, Sarah Sanders "walked out of the White House" yesterday with her head held high. She has no concept of long range consequences; like her kids, grandkids and other family members having to deal with her reputation and bold face lying. Despite her repeated claims she is a good Christian, hypocracy at its best.

She and everyone who had ever worked for him, supported him, will go down in history as was the ugly white people blocking a SIX year old African American girl from going to school. Those photographs and videos will haunt her/their descendants for decades to come.

When you are complicit and profit from it you shut up and stay shut up.

You're right, of course. I just have such utter contempt for people like that.
I can't handle the blatant hypocrisy.

@KKGator they deserve contempt, they screw up people's lives and get people killed.

Fuck them all with cacti.

I too have wondered this, thinktwice had a good comment. trump did not get there alone and people like mcconnell are even more dangerous and have been at this game longer. All I know is something has got to give and the non-cowards have to stand up or we really are doomed.

They ALL must be removed.

Because he throws just enough "crumbs" to keep them around wanting more - and always dangles the possibility of something realty great being bestowed upon them as a result of his influence or interference. So.....cowards - or whores? hmmmmmmm

Cowardly whores.

Because Republicans want power.

True dat. They don't care what happens to the nation, long term or short term, as long as they have the steering wheel.

You know what else I've noticed, and on this site?
Whenever I challenge anyone to defend 45 with actual facts, they can't.
Sure, I get called names, insults are hurled, my political affiliations misrepresented,
and ultimately I'm blocked, but they can never truly defend him or anything he's
done.

Because he practices insidious techniques of intimidation much like a battered woman is subjected to...he is loud, he yells, he cusses...he takes away support structures and introduces others that reinforce his behavior so that the "new" person starts thinking they are wrong...he is very skilled at getting his way because he has done it all his life...

He is a manipulative little man with no heart...and he has turned even the brightest and once best of people into sniveling cowards who are in so deep, they can't get out...notice that many grow a spine once they are leaving...

I worked for a man like this (less than 9 months)...it took family and friends to get me out because I could not see it...and I turned from a strong, decisive, powerful woman into a doting sniveling coward working for him until I woke up...and then it turned to rage, revenge, and hate...took years to get over it...

You're right, of course.
I think, in my own case, I've just been through enough abusive relationships
that now, I just go Defon 5 whenever I come across anyone portraying those characteristics.
There's no more "measured response", it's just straight for the jugular.
45 has always been a piece of shit. I've hated that miserable con man since the 70s.

@KKGator I am with you there...same time frame...I also go crazy because I see how he does it and can't figure out how others who support him don't see it...the world would be a better place without people like him....

@thinktwice Agreed. We should be able to eliminate them.

Notable exception goes to Michigan's own Justin Amash, who called out Trump despite his own party holding anti-Amash rallies outside his HQ and calling for his head (in some cases literally). In the birthplace of the Republican party, this is one Republican that Lincoln could be proud of.

Although he technically doesn't work for Trump, he's one of the only Republicans to speak his conscience instead of the party line.

Yes, Amash has shown he's one of the very few republicans with any integrity, and he's being attacked for it.
Which only shows that the rest of them have ZERO integrity or ethics.
One or two, here and there, aren't enough to effect any kind of real and necessary change.

It's "circle the wagons" syndrome. The Republican establishment is afraid to admit they fucked up. His base is so loud that they have the old guard terrified.

They figure Trump won't last past 2020, but anyone who speaks up now will have won the ire of the right wing base and they'll never work again. They won't get any more appearance fees from Faux News or fellowships with Heritage University. They won't be team players.

Simply put, with a very few exceptions, they're exactly what you said; cowards.

Damned good question!
