Also 'Mr. Profiles in Courage' Arizona's junior US Senator, Jeff Flake, took a firm stand Tuesday against the prospect that Donald Trump might fire Central Scrutinizer Robert Mueller, giving an interview to the Washington Post to say that he would be VERY SAD if Trump did anything rash and left Congress with no other choice but to impeach him, because that would be just awful.

To your second question: I don't know for sure, but I'll warrant Faux News had something to do with it. And to the first - yes. Every last one of them.
Agreed. Which makes me wonder - how many of them (AOTK, I know) are getting a regular influx of freshly-washed rubles, and at what price was each willing to sell the country for? Ten pieces of silver?
I have to wonder how quickly they might try to pull off impeachment and conviction if the midterms sweep them out of power. We might actually see functional government come out of the GOP, temporarily, if they had three months to get, say, Paul Ryan installed as president. As soon as he was in place, of course, functional government would revert to the current pillaging and pursuit of theocracy.
We don't need to take our country back, as the right-wing so loudly proclaims.
We need to take our government back. If we could get special interest money out of our elections then our "representatives" would work for us. A lot of good things should follow from that.
Very simple, because the vast majority of the Republican base is adamantly behind Trump. If they come out against him, they will be challenged in a primary by a pro-trumpian candidate; and will likely lose to them.

I was gonna go with, there's nothing Trump respects and leave it at that..

Senator, you're no Robert Crawley
Better to beggar belief than bugger reality.
(I don't know what it means either, but it sounds deep.)
*Congress passes blanket approval of all the Trump familia sleeze.*
Problem solved!
There's a Cambridge Analyatica jibe to be made here. I'm sure it'll come to me later..

Mr. President, please don't expose us as the boot-licking toadies you and we and everyone in the country knows we are.
FIFY, Flakey.

Maybe we can get the teens on it.
