The thing I don't understand about Congressional Republicans

trump is bad JuJu, plain and simple. He's toxic to the party and their "brand". A number of them privately despise him, a number of them fear him, but there isn't one of them who wouldn't admit that their jobs would've been a lot easier if he hadn't gotten the nomination.

So it begs the question; Given the breadth of trump's scandalous affairs, his dubious character, his corruption, his recklessness, and his unwillingness to shut up, why don't they cut their losses, help impeach, and just go with Pence? Of course, WE all know that Pence is bad news, but he is indeed more "Their kind" of president. They'd still get their Supreme Court and their vile conservative legislation, and I'm sure he'd be malleable when they need him to be. Why does it not occur to them? Why does that ignorant hairdo have such control over them?

WTF with this Asshat! trump weighs in on Notre Dame

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-offers-unsolicited-advice-on-fighting-notre-dame-fire/2019/04/15/626e6030-5fcc-11e9-bf24-db4b9fb62aa2_story.html

As a catastrophic inferno tore through a cultural treasure, President Donald Trump assessed the response from 4,000 miles away and offered unsolicited advice for firefighters trying to save Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral.

“Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out,” Trump tweeted from Air Force One, minutes before landing in Minnesota for a Tax Day speech. “Must act quickly!”

Trump’s armchair observations were striking, even for a president who seems to offer an opinion about just about everything.

Just hours before, Trump had weighed in on Boeing’s ongoing troubles after two crashes of its new airliner, suggesting a rebranding campaign is in order for the beleaguered 737 Max, and he’d spent the previous day commentating on professional golf as Tiger Woods overcame long odds to win the Masters on Sunday.

I thought it was a satire.

"I just can't take part in something that is so focused against a white man because frankly I feel white men have done a lot for this country and this legislature."
