Average House Age: 58.4 Senate:64.3. Is this insane "fear" of Trump nothing more than decades of National Enquirer dirt?

[Noel Kums]

His relationship with the Enquirer/David Pecker goes back to the 80’s. Anyone with a functioning brain can’t possibly be terrified of a 79-yr old man with orange makeup and shoe lifts and the temperament of a 3yr old.

About the only thing that would unite everyone in his orbit in fear would involve him holding even the slightest dark secret/misstep on more House/Senate members than we can imagine. Most are old enough to have stepped in something over the years - and many have.

He’s really nothing more than a grifting, sniveling coward. The type of idiot who you really would punch in the face if given the opportunity. An intellectual zero hellbent on revenge for……winning? That takes a special kind of psychopath.

1. He's about to have a personal police force.

That's something to fear, IMO.

8. Also a personal DOJ, and a personal SCOTUS.

2. What is your motivation for downplaying the well-established threats we are facing? WHY?

It sounds for all the world like the cowardly Vichy French movement that chose to appease the NAZIs taking over France in WWII--whether you meant it to or not or whether or not you know history--any history.

3. I"m referring to government officials. There is text in the message body.

4. Rapist Traitor.

WTF?

5. Yes they could be protecting themselves as much as Trump.

We can assume some of the classified documents included dirt on US members of congress and US judges.

But we also know that GOP members of congress are being threatened with primary opponents and also possible death threats to themselves and family.

6. The trick is as old as can be...

And that is to appeal to their favorite vices, set them up in a scenario that is embarrassing or even criminal and secretly record it.

That’s what Epstein did. Set up rich white dudes with teenage girls to have sex with them and video record the whole thing. Then you have insurance that can be used if they turn on you.

I bet Trumpy has that sort of dirt on a significant number of them.

7. They are terrified of being

primaried.

9. How to tell me you are a white man,

without telling me you are a white man.
