Traitor don continues to survive because of his spineless party and rw noise machine

"This time, Trump’s crossed the line! He’s done! He’s finished! He’s toast!"

"Yet the lines Trump crosses — the endless indications that, as James Fallows put it in The Atlantic, he is either Russia’s “conscious tool” or “useful idiot” — never bring about his downfall."

"That is, above all, due to the corruption and debasement of the Republican Party, which has turned into the Trump party, roared on by the right-wing talk machine honed over many years now through Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the rest. The machine that says that Democrats are evil and want to blow up the American way of life — guns, God and all. The machine that said Barack Obama was a Kenyan socialist."

It's not all of Congress, it's the spineless corrupt Republicans in Congress that block anything being done.

Article specifically said “Republicans in Congress have responded in a spineless and morally vacant way to this president who is a horrible embarrassment,”

to them, the brave, stand-up, "spiny" thing is going on television and supporting dear leader no matter how outrageous the lie, no matter how treasonous the behavior, no matter how odious the policy.

to them, the cowardly, spinless thing to do is to tell the truth and admit that donnie sucks and his policies suck and republicans suck.

i kinda see their point, i guess if you're part of that world, it takes guts to throw all decency and reason aside and spit on reagan's grave and unconditionally back a russian agent in the oval office.
