I'm hoping the ones who shrugged and said "There's no real difference between them" or "He's just saying stuff, he's not going to do it" are rethinking things.
Fuck them. They got us here. I'm voting them off the island. Fuck 'em all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Those are the ones I most want to punch.
The only thing that will make any difference is if the Republicans in the House and Senate take a stand. Some of them might be influenced by their constituents, many not at all.
I read recently that in terms of calls to Reps, Republican callers are generally about 4 - 1 v Dems, 11 - 1 if it's an issue the right cares about. This is part of why they've developed the knee-jerk instinct to jump right at every opportunity. (Some are true believers, others maybe weren't from the get go and now are.)
This is just one part of the issue, but it's one we can potentially impact.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd lay some money on "Trump starts firing people out of pique."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was thinking more of his advisors/wranglers. But sure! Who needs experience in the State Department?

Also the US Chief of Border Patrol. He was in the same situation where he "resigned" in a way that is code for "was forced out."
I am currently the embodiment of the This Is Fine dog.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ack, I had to get away from FB because it's wall to wall Trumplian outrage, and it's here too.
Not that I blame anybody for talking about it.
But it's hashing my mellow. Living in Trump's America is stressing me out daily.
I suppose I should work.

Yeah, I expect he said "That's not going to work" within earshot of a Trump person.
And since we don't have a secretary of commerce, I hear Trump will be negotiating trade deals with PM May in the UK. Given his many bankruptcies, I expect we'll be singing God Save the Queen within six months.
Actually, that looks like a best case scenario.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
But it's hashing my mellow. Living in Trump's America is stressing me out daily.
