ORIGINAL: Musicmystery We could use a lot more integrity in Washington. "Drain the swamp." .....and instead it runneth over. I'd take James Buckley for pres. over any repub since Ike. If that were true the establishment would warmly embrace president Trump, rather than mount this silent coup Nobody likes hypocrites-- most especially when they're embarrassing the entire country and putting everyone who understands the situation on edge. And by 'everyone who understands the situation', I obviously do not mean you. This weird need to see the establishment as part of a union of evil people and everyone who isn't part of the establishment as objectively good is part of why you are incapable of assessing the situation correctly. RealOne is even worse as he has gone all the way to declaring Trump a true people's champion. Trump isn't part of the establishment because he is incompetent and the establishment doesn't trust incompetence. If it were a matter of him posing a threat to their power or whatever, they wouldn't have let him run in the first place. They don't see him as a threat, they see him as someone who is too stupid to know what he's doing and can be easily manipulated whenever he isn't embarrassing them. Nothing he actually says or does is causing them serious grief, because they know he will sign off on whatever they want or let someone else handle it while he goes to another rally. The GOP will put up with it because they want to push through their disgusting vision for the future. On the other hand, I am sure that they are all equally worried that he's going to start a war or launch some nukes because someone insulted his hair or something. It's an uneasy alliance for sure... but nobody really believes Trump can, will or even knows how to 'drain the swamp'. Trump was as much a part of the democratic establishment such as there is one, for many years. He was part of the NY city legal, political and real estate establishment under dems and repubs. Trump threw money at the dems (and maybe a few repubs) for the same reason all greedy capitalist scum do...for a return on his investment. Now this insecure, babbling, ignorant asshole runs as a repub having stated on tape (since pilled) that the repub are so stupid, they'd vote for anybody. Right on all counts and is in such a self-created, political and personal maelstrom that some on the right are finally seeing crazy. Trump and his 'music-chair' cronies, now all live both on egg shells and a political bubble and it...better not burst.
