The GOP is endangering everything.

Its leadership is largely cowards who are looking after their own rear ends.

They don't serve the United States.

The country serves them.

They feel that the United States is just a backdrop to their precious selves.

We're just plebes and serfs to the Republican elites and oligarchs who siphoned off billions of dollars for themselves while members of Congress enjoy uninterrupted platinum healthcare, excellent salaries, and careers as lobbyists when they finally retire or lose an election.

During the shutdown, Republican senators went to a posh golf resort on Sea Island and another one threw a birthday party for his dog in his chambers: drudge.com

While good-for-nothing trolls keep bleating AIPAC talking points demonizing Palestinians on a different thread, the Dotard-in-Chief is bailing out the failed Libertarian regime in Argentina to the tune of billions of dollars while US nuclear safety is being jeopardized and Americans are losing their SNAP benefits.

But, hey! Palestinians are killing Palestinians!

Worst. Trolls. Ever.

Worst. President. Ever.
