> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > Since it’s not a real danger to Napoleon Boneyspurs himself (between the shrieking mobs of deplorables and the Kremlin’s kompromat files, few if any GOP senators dare turn on him), he isn’t going to be dissuaded. The aforementioned GOP senators will just have to try to weather the storm as best they can (I’m rooting for the reefs and shoals). Are there pocket sharks living amongst the reefs and shoals? Because that would be really cool. ---

> [@asahi](#): > > There’s no way he stays quiet, and that’s a real danger if this ever ends up going to the Senate for a trial. It’s well-documented that there is less support among Republicans in the senate. Some Republicans, like Romney, don’t have to worry about re-election anytime soon. And others, like Collins, do have to worry about carrying a state that could easily go Blue. They will be watching the polls. People have a tendency to live in the present. If he says the wrong thing at the wrong time, that could put some senators under the spotlight. I was just watching the news and there was an item on how White House officials are nervous because he’s going down to Mar-a-Lago now for the holidays and who knows what he’ll do/say/tweet when his handlers are at a distance and he’s listening to his buddies (such as they are; I don’t think Trump has ever had any real friends, just associations with people who have similar interests such as Jeffery Epstein). ---

In his head, he “helped” someone, so now they owe him. He can’t wrap his head that they might be guided in some other way. … Another factor adding to Trump’s rage is that he has been personally assured by some substantial number of “Christian faith leaders” that he IS Chosen. They’ve been in and out of the Oval Office since he was installed there, and they’ve been flattering him quite far up the wazoo. So naturally he expects all Christians (as well as “Christians”) to treat him with the deference he’s been told that he deserves. ---

My very religious grandmother, who voted for the Constitution Party in 2000 and believed that George W. Bush wasn’t a good Christian, used to read CT. She kept it in the bathroom when I lived with her as a teenager. She’s not lucid anymore and she probably has no idea what’s going on these days, but I’d _really_ like to think she’d be sick to her stomach with Loser Donald. ---

No, no, grasshopper, you’ve got that wrong. Whatever he does, however he looks, whatever he says-- THAT, _by definition_ is “good optics.” On the golf course, at a rally, behind the desk in the Oval Office, on the toidy, licking Putin’s ass-- all of it: good optics, the best optics, perfect optics! See how that works? ---
