Trumps attacks stun Republican senators

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump’s management style isn’t making him many friends in Congress.

Trump’s habit of bullying his allies has sown seeds of doubt about whether any political sacrifice by a GOP lawmaker will be rewarded — or even remembered — by the president.

Trump’s pointed criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was the only senator to endorse Trump for much of last year’s presidential campaign, has shocked many GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have rallied to their former colleague’s defense.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who served for years with Sessions on the Judiciary Committee, said Trump “belittling and humiliating the attorney general” was “unseemly” and “inappropriate.”

The public shots are “a sign of great weakness on the part of President Trump,” he said.

What bothers lawmakers the most is that Trump seems to want to embarrass his targets.

Some note that Sessions resigned from his safe Senate seat to join the executive branch and work for Trump.

They say it is wrong that Sessions has become a target of the president’s ire for following Justice Department guidelines and recusing himself from oversight of the Russia investigation.

Cowardly little fuck

DURec

2. I had a boss that treated

his employees like this. He was horrific to work for and once he found your weak point, he'd hone in on it until you broke. He was a malignant narcissist just like 45. That said, if they are so "stunned", maybe they should actually do something about it.

4. No shit!

if they are so "stunned", maybe they should actually do something about it.

They're just shocked and whiny because it's happening to 'them!'

7. I'll take that.

Thank you. It just makes too much sense for the fantasy land where we all live now, doesn't it?

12. great comment

Until Graham - and others - do something other than issue a sternly worded statement, sounded or tweet, it's meaningless.

3. I do NOT feel any sympathy, empathy, whatsoever for sessions...

How does the saying go "sleep with dogs, you get fleas" - (no offense to dogs meant)....

Sessions has been chompin' at the bit for years, being the racist, bigoted imp that he is....

Where, oh where, is that video of the crying guy "leave Brittany alone".......

[MontanaMama]

8. Here you go!

The "leave Brittany alone" line is at 2:56.

6. Hey Congress when you wake up and look in the mirror

just remember you nominated him to be the face of your party. You have been doing his bidding and continue to do so. You only have yourselves to blame. However, we all know your party never accepts responsibilities of your mindless abuse of power!

9. "We didn't think the leopard would eat OUR faces," sobbed the people who

belong to the Leopard Eating People's Faces party.

10. Perfect!

11. Well, wait until

The orange shit-gibbon actually breaks out stun-guns and uses it own them! Then they'll really know what stunned means.

[gratuitous]

13. Awww, you poor babies

You didn't think he'd ever turn on you, did you, you little dumplings. No, you were special. You knew just what it took to stay on his good side. All those others? They were just stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He'd change for you. You'd be everything he wanted, and more! You'd defend him from all criticism because those other people were just jealous. He'd see how you fought for him, and he'd be oh-so-good to you. Everyone would just stare in wide-eyed wonder as you and he lived happily ever after. You'd show them all! And then you and he would go off together and laugh (A-haw, ha, ha!) as all his enemies just ate their own hearts out, jealous that you and you alone had finally brought him home.

Then one day. One very bad, horrible day . . .

14. Hypocrites. Liars. They are all fools if they believed Trump wouldn't treat them the same way he

treats everyone.

They can stop whining over how Trump is being mean to them.

I care every bit as much about Trump's behavior toward them as they cared when Trump was getting the crowd to chant "Lock her up!".

I simply don't believe they are stunned or shocked or surprised or offended by Trump's behavior.

Fools or liars. Both.

[LAS14]

15. He's behaving like Idi Amin and Kim Jong-un! And....

.... they are/were dictators. It works to scare everyone. I hope it doesn't work in our mature democracy, but, hey, who thought Trump would win in the first place? Who thought thousands of boy scouts would cheer him and boo Obama and Clinton.

How scared should we be?

16. I will never cease to be amazed at the people who watched this man on the campaign trail

heard all the stories about him from decades in business, and heard how he treated his ex wives, brother, nephew, and his younger daughter and are shocked, shocked I tell you that Trump is a disloyal bullying bastard. 70 year olds don't change, they don't grow into jobs, and they don't become decent human beings when they weren't for the first 69 years of their lives.
