The GOP establishment is experiencing whiplash after a week of President Donald Trump bulldozing through the norms of policy and protocol — dashing off executive orders without warning, escalating a diplomatic crisis with the country's closest southern neighbor, triggering global confusion with a new refugee policy and generally hijacking party leaders' agenda and replacing it with his own.

Rather than the hoped-for collaborative new relationship between the White House and Congress, GOP officials complain that Trump is brushing aside their advice, failing to fully engage on drafting tough legislative packages on tax reform and Obamacare, and bypassing Congress by relying on executive actions, something they frequently complained about under President Barack Obama.



At the same time, Trump's unilateral moves continue to blindside Republicans and direct the national focus toward topics many in the party would rather avoid, whether that's how to pay for building the border wall with Mexico, warming ties with Russia, investigating false claims about voter fraud or, most recently, implementing sweeping new policies on refugees and visas.

In the name of party unity, many Republicans so far have refrained from publicly attacking the new president. But for some, the new refugee policy crossed the line, signaling the first major rift in their already fraught partnership.

1. KICK for 2 term Obama

[Dustlawyer]

2. Oh no, they own him!!!

No sympathy!

[thejoker123]

12. They won't. They'll push through

Their right wing policies and then blame "Trump" for it all.

That's why everyone (media esp) needs to stop acting like Trump is some aberration. Trump IS the Republican base!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. +1

[Soxfan58]

24. Hitting

The nail right on the head.

[DK504]

19. Damn right!

When there is violence in the streets, they will blame Obama. They already are.

They are already afraid of what the hell he'll do next.

[Initech]

3. They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves right now.

Their gross incompetence and failure to put people over party lines is what led to Trump. Their failure to abide by the constitution when Scalia died is what led to Trump. They own this.

[Canoe52]

20. They should be, but are they capable of feeling shame?

[Wounded Bear]

26. That is the question, isn't it....

IMNSHO Repubs have to have their shame and irony circuits disabled before they can run for office.

[thinkingagain]

22. totally agree

If we could take your exact words put them on protest signs in front of the capital building and then chant
"You Made it FIX IT"

[Alpeduez21]

45. +1

[tanyev]

4. Mitch must not have been paying much attention during the GOP primaries.

[Trust Buster]

5. It is Delta's fault.

[cilla4progress]

6. Karma's

a bitch

[treestar]

7. Failed at the one term thing

McConnell is just a failure at life.

[NBachers]

8. Time to take the gentleman's way out, Mitch.

[winetourdriver01]

9. Ha!

Thanks, that made my morning!

[gademocrat7]

10. This is all yours, Mcturtle.

[lunatica]

11. You ain't seen nothing yet

Because without warning he's getting even with the GOP. You all were downright giddy thinking you had yourselves a puppet but you forgot that you badmouthed him during the primaries.

It's gratifying to see the smirks beginning to get wiped off your faces. You are Trump's enemies and he's going to get even.

Especially with Paul Ryan. The giddiest of all.

Trump never forgets.

[not fooled]

13. Hahaha

Never thought I'd say this, but...when it comes to thwarting "I Love Ayn" Ryan:

GO TRUMP!

The Narcissist vs. The Sociopath!!!




P.S. Love that pic of the last real president. Obama might well be be simultaneously weeping for the nation and relishing the current GOP clusterf*ck as President Asterisk takes them down.

[3auld6phart]

17. Trump's loyalty??

Weird that thing about getting even with the GOP. That was my thoughts from long before that fatal day in Nov.
He is neither a Republican or a Democrat, he is all for Donald Drump f.He is really out to destroy the 'pugs and any body else that gets in his way. We live in dangerous times. Mind, after what they did to Pres. Obama, I do hope they take the 'pugs down.

[manicraven]

25. This is what Trump Chumps want. They voted for a wrecking ball, not the GOP. They're done with

business as usual. Good luck Ryan, McConnell, and the rest of the establishment in containing tRump or his base.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

32. He is NOT the GOP's puppet

He is Putin's puppet

They just haven't figured that out yet

[lunatica]

33. Actually I think he's Brennan's puppet

He and General Flynn swallow every conspiracy theory Bannon puts out there. They seem to be quite sincere in their beliefs.

3 million illegals voted against him and made him lose the popular vote. President Obama is a Kenyan. Muslim terrorists are on airplanes right this minute trying to get into the US. Claims FOX news should be held up as an example of how to be fair to him.

He's a frigging conspiracy theorist in a big way.

Whey else would he put Bannon in such a high position? The only answer is because he believes Brennan knows the truth and tells the truth. And Trump is going to force us to "know the truth"

[Sucha NastyWoman]

39. Hey, I think you mean Steve Bannon not John Brennan

Brennan just stepped down as head of the CIA and just made some very critical remarks about Trump.

I think you are talking about Bannon, the former Breitbart guy.

[lunatica]

42. You're right

thanks! I corrected it.

[Nitram]

15. Hey, Mitch, OUR goal is to limit Trump to LESS than one term.

Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it.

[oasis]

16. "For a person who said it was your goal to make Obama a one term

President". All reporter's questions to McConnell should begin with that statement of fact. That's one way of preventing him from dodging his well known edict.

[-Steph-]

18. This is their fault. They did this to us. I hope they lose by historic margins in the midterms.

[safeinOhio]

21. Appeasers

As they will go down in history.
Remember when repubs were calling Obama that when they they had no idea what it meant. They are about to learn.

[angrychair]

23. Sorry, don't buy this article's premise

Trump is doing exactly what they want. Republicans only goal is to turn our country into a dystopian version of Russia where we work as slaves to make them even more wealthy and powerful.

[Miles Archer]

28. Ryan has been aggressively kissing Trump's ass...

...because everything with SS, Medicare and Medicaid is lining up right where he wants it.

Mitch has a bruised ego because he thinks Trump sgould be interested in his opinion.

[heaven05]

30. I believe this

before I would believe anything else about the evil"empire" constituents and their leaders. Serfdom for us is on the way, strictly american made, with russian input, but serfdom none the less.

[gratuitous]

37. It's important to remember

Congress could rein in the administration any time they wanted. But they're just sitting idly by, kvetching about all the terrible things that are happening, but not doing thing one to stop it. Their words are very clearly not matching any actions available to them. What does that tell the perspicacious observer?

[angrychair]

41. Exactly my point

They could put the brakes on anytime they wanted but have remained silent.
Even more so, they have talked about funding for an actual wall and insinuated it would only cost as little as $12 billion and be easy to pay for it. We all know that is insane and would cost a lot more than that. More proof Congress is in someone else's pocket.

[Ligyron]

48. and it wouldn't do a damn bit of good

unless he knows someone in the construction business?

[manicraven]

27. It must be a bit unnerving not knowing what's coming next and not knowing if

tRump will do something so egregious that moderate Republicans start marching with the Dems and Independents (maybe some are). I bet their tummies are in knots.

[turbinetree]

29. It took only nine days for this ratf***ked party to get ratf***ked, by one of there own............

GOP-led Congress starting to worry about its role in the Trump era



Hey Turtle you do know where the word Ratf***ked" came from don't you? Your agenda your corrupt bribe infested fascist agenda.

[lunatica]

31. Has it been only 9 days?!

Fuck! It's going to be a very long ride.

[turbinetree]

35. Yepper.........and counting today makes 10 days of fascists republican Rat F***king

Oh Boy and now the head Rat F**ker just signed another EO attacking "regulations" , there goes further contamination of water, air and food, safety, inspections, you name it.................


Just think we have 1,450 more days of this sh*t, unless the Rat F***king Congress Impeach this dangerous clown, don't hold your breath

[2naSalit]

36. I guess

this has become our year of living dangerously. I agree with you, this is going to be a rough ride as well, for everyone including the biosphere.

I'm thankful I'm old.

[BSdetect]

34. So how did that nasty plan work out for you turtle?

[CakeGrrl]

38. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of scumbags!

[annabanana]

40. Love that pic of America's best president ever.. Judging from

how hard he was laughing, and the tux.. I'm guessing he was laughing at his own expense at the Correspondents Dinner.

[Raster]

43. I know, Comrade McConnell... who would have thought that electing a patholigical, vindictive...

...narcissist could have such negative consequences, and so early in the game? I mean y'all seemed to like tRump* just fine when he was first "elected." You and Eddie Munster were just rubbing your evil hands in glee at all the damage you could to. I mean, YOU EVEN WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY to make sure information about his potential Russian connection was kept from the American voters, even going to far to threaten the standing POTUS with claiming his concern was nothing more than partisan machinations.

So how do you like him now, Comrade McConnell?

[tenorly]

46. "Well," Bitchy Mitchy might say,

"as long as he doesn't mess with my wife's dad, all is forgiven."

https://www.thenation.com/article/mitch-mcconnells-freighted-ties-shadowy-shipping-company/

[blue neen]

53. Amen.

Moscow Mitch and Lyin' Ryan care way more about Power than they do about our country.

[Skittles]

44. FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING CONSERVATIVE ENABLERS

YOU'VE BEEN TRASHING AMERICA FOR DECADES AND NOW THE FRANKENSTEIN YOU CREATED IS ON THE LOOSE

[BlancheSplanchnik]

47. Eat shit and die, McCONnell. You and every puke, teabagger, anti-human, money grabbing, billionair

Coddling, Misogyny Normalising, Race-Baiting, Christofascist, Creationist, Wealth-hoarding, Gay-Bashing, Gun-Loving, Liberal-Hating, Corporate profits-over-people, CONservative-Media POS is responsible for this trainwreck.

Fuck you mcCONnell, Ryan, Romney, Cruz, Palin, Bush, Cheney, Boener, and every other fucking POS whose name I can't think of right now who fed into this destruction of human decency and integrity.

[world wide wally]

49. Is anybody else sick of winning all the time?

Win. Win. Win. That's all we ever do. Mr. Trump, can we please stop wining for a while?
Our country can't take any more winning

[JudyM]

50. Not nearly sad enough.

[C_U_L8R]

51. Mitch might just invite President Obama back

This Trump fiasco is a colossal fuckup.
The GOP will go down the sewer pipe
with Donnie if they don't cut him off.

[Rex]

52. Obama ran the country for 8 years! What the fuck, the GOP that stupid!?

We all know the GOP does nothing but obstruct and create fake news. Did they think they were going to get off easy not doing ONE FUCKING THING for 8 years?
