Not Anxious zero anxiety! Go Trump/Pence! Keep America Great! MAGA

MAGA 20/20!!!!!

Really Good Article

.Rather than delivering on his promise to 'drain the swamp', portly patriarch of the Trump crime family is himself circling the drain. Still, the lunatic fringe willfully cling to hope.

We have anxiety over Mueller? News to me. I haven't seen much anxiety from his supporters. Mostly us laughing at your lunacy. MAGA

But will Republicans grow a spine or is it too late.

Next rally.......

'People are saying', that Seal Team Six was spotted as part of the crowds taking tours of the White House. You know it's true, but the fake news won't report it.....

Let this be a lesson to any President that doesn't tow the globalist line. This is what happens to you. Media, political elites and the intelligence agency's will conspire to take you down.

Fake news. The real news is that the justice department is a liberal tool run by criminals. realDonaldTrump lock these people up!

Fake news

'...calculating that most GOP base voters will believe whatever the president tells them to believe.' Says everything about the deep critical thinking of, and contempt in which they hold, his base. Some of my friends are his base and it is exasperating.

.......'Rather than building a war room to manage the intersecting crises as past administrations have done, the Trump White House is understaffed, stuck in a bunker mentality and largely resigned to a plan to wing it.'

Last night he was Tweeting and tell Macron basically he doesn't know what he is doing. And telling him how to govern France.

they are scared for themselves and what will come out about them. Nothing else.

Yes & ppl on the other side of the world screaming “ We need Trump.” Can you imagine the President of Pittsburgh being praised in France while they destroy their country. America first a true model for the world!!!

Trump realDonaldTrump is looking like a deer in the headlights!

'the president needs a team that can go to the mattresses,” Bannon said.' Uh, isn't that what got him here?

😂

I love it. No matter how many times the washy post proclaims a smoking gun has been found, only to find out it wasn’t, you guys always come running. Once again— nothing new here.

GOP base may believe his lies, they've believed the rest after all - but this shouldn't be about playing to delusional gullible bumpkins, this should be about the rule of law. Individual1 is a criminal and unfit to be President.

Wrong, Deep State Fake News.

Don't forget economic perils, e.g., tariffs and their consequences.

fakenews. Just a biased opinion!

Bannon said. “The president can’t trust the GOP to be there when it counts . . . They don’t feel any sense of duty or responsibility to stand with Trump.” GOP what do you fear most? POTUS? Loss of party values? Truth for ppl? WHERE DO YOU STAND? POTUS, Party, or Truth for PPL?

Is this the 10th or the 20th time you've reported something like this? I lost count. 😂

👀 JFC this article. Our White House is “winging” it. We should never hear that expression about anything our government - at any level - does. How tf is this even real.

ByJohnLMicek While Hillary sleeps like a baby. You need to wake up.

Trump will surely fall. And like a felled tree, his many branches will also wipe out those who stand close.

jonfavs Why is he even on the street, you or I would be in handcuffs already

GOP better wake up and quit enabling Trump or they can go down with him.

Why doesn’t the gop just distance itself from him? He’s a lunatic

jonfavs Oh how I pray that this ends Trumps time in the White House! Now if it is Mike Pence isn't any better!

Gosh and that's just the beginning! I can't wait to see Reps. Schiff, Nadler, Cummings, Lewis, Waters in action ... I dont thing Trump will be able to tweet that fast... that aside he may suffer apoplexy! 😎

Too late to abandon ship now... you're going down with it

he can always trot out that dr feelgood looking personal physician to bolster an insanity plea

Wrong again.

The Republican Party is so complicit in all of this, and I'm hoping those who have been screwed can bring themselves to admit that they've been conned by Don the Con.

When will you be leaving White house pinocchio?

It took this long? The Republican Senate better be aware of the depth of Trump’s lies, illegal ties, and involvement in treasonous activities.

“the president needs a team that can go to the mattresses,” Bannon said.” Tre45son goes to the mattress just fine on his own!

jonfavs fakenews

Fake news. Literally no one I know is concerned the least bit.

Really!!...too little too late

Nope. No anxiety here. theGreatAwakening

jonfavs Jordan will be the face of the Republicans defending Trump. Hmm, not sure they thought that one out.

I see no evidence of this.

Oh please. The only anxiety we are suffering fom is waiting for Justice! Hillary, Comey, Lynch, Obama, Brennan, Clapper indicted for their Corruption! realDonaldTrump

The longer the GOP refuses to do their responsibility in checking DJT the more trouble they will be in. How will they defend their support? “I didn’t know or think it was real “ is not going to cut it. They have lost the confidence of more citizens than they realize.

jonfavs It’s almost as if the GOP should have “extremely vetted” Trump during the primaries

The hell with their anxiety. They asked for this by supporting him no matter all the terrible things he did .

Heard it for two years now.

jonfavs Starve em all till they croak.

Talk about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic....this administration is done and the cancer has spread to the entire GOP. Neither will survive 2019.

Yawn.

でも、ぼっちは、やっぱさみしいから、わたしのこと好きな人に看取って欲しい。

だから、もう納得して死ねる。わたしの良心を信じてもらえたから。

Everyone of them that supported him should be held accountable

jonfavs The crime family is going to the mattresses.

Propaganda FakeNews

Can't wait to see the rats leave the sinking ship. Dopey Nunes the one I am looking forward to most followed by Hannity

The only one left in Washington that believe that little weak trump is innocent is little weak trump. He will be standing all alone.

dagenais

You think the House of Representatives will try to impeach a President based a spurious campaign finance violation? Do you know nothing about the political election process? Half of them would have to join him in jail! It's collusion with Russia or bust!

jonfavs Don't worry, everyone, nothing's going to happen, like always.

There are no growing perils. For god sake read . There is nothing so far.

If the Russians funneled $30 million to the Republican Party, what does Mitch know & when did he know it. The entire party is corrupt

Legal peril from what? Another report that proves no collusion? You people really are disgusting. Fake news

Fakenews

chrislhayes WITHpod latest episode beautifully sets up this quote... 'The White House is adopting what one official termed a “shrugged shoulders” strategy for the Mueller findings, calculating that most GOP base voters will believe whatever the president tells them to believe.'

Where is repub leadership!!!

jonfavs

Fake News

GOP are a party fighting & ignoring the obvious, to keep Trump in WH...a man who is fighting to keep what he has done hidden & disinterested in doing his job. In any other corporate job he would have been sacked. Trump will cause the death of the GOP. TheRickWilson said it 1st.

jonfavs Who knew this could happen ?

Good. They’ve richly earned all their “anxiety”. They had numerous chances to push back against Trump, but chose to sit on their hands and do nothing. They enable him, they deserve him.

jonfavs We have Mike Pence. No one cares what happens to the Business man. Hes our Scrooge for Christmas.

If the grand old party wants to survive they better figure how to get rid of Trump

I almost feel sorry for them, but not quite. They asked for it and even Lindsey Graham said so. GOP

jonfavs But surely QAnon will save them...

'Siege warfare': Republican anxiety spikes as some of them face growing legal and political perils of being comprised by Russian gangsters.

I think that even the base is now beyond believing what the Drumpff has to say.....

A little to late for Republican cans. They should have taken corrective action during the primaries.

'Shrugged shoulders.'? Whatever happened to good ol' Republican personal responsibility?

Lmao. Speculation at best. The president gets to see everything..there are no black lines he can't make disappear.

MAGA!

LOL. For what? This time for sure right? hahahahaahahahahahaahaha TDS PANIC QANON

They all knew.

Cry havoc and release the dogs of war. No quarter. No prisoners.

How can people still be so blind to the truth 😩. It’s a sad time, hopefully the ignorant stop following the blind when the truth finally comes out

Hahahahahahahaha!!!! No anxiety, 🤡s

Fake news

Good tgey deserve anxiety & panic after all the insane BS they have let Trump get away with-They are Complicit it this mess of a presidency-That's why they lost big time in the midterms

Garbage !

The Republicans demanded Trump run as republican and not independent. They brought this onto themselves.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE.

Lies and more lies!

Yo, this shit funny son!

100% realDonaldTrump would rather burn the whole thing down than act with moral courage, or any semblance of humanity. Only when the GOP realizes it will we be saved.

Projection at it's finest. MAGA QAnon

Except that I'm totally calm. But wow, it's impressive how you can be certain about the emotions that others are feeling. Can you share your telepathy secrets with the rest of us?

Wrong! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

'...calculating that most GOP base voters will believe whatever the president tells them to believe.' Did is the problem. We know Trump is a corrupt sleaze. The problem is there are idiots who believe him.

so, Captain Slack Bladder (aka Wet Pants) is in trouble then huh.

impeachment is coming, notwithstanding his poker face :)

FAKE NEWS ALERT! WP MSM use false headlines ie dem party propaganda! 'Media is the most powerful entity on earth.They have the power to make the innocent guilty & the guilty innocent & that's power. Because they control minds of the masses.' MalcomX

The day Mueller reveals ALL will be the day the GOP, & his family begin to actively promote the false narrative that he has dementia & therefore cannot be held accountable or incarcerated for his crimes. It will be one more Trump con job the MSM will buy.

So far all Mueller has is Campaign finance violations. And that one the word of a lawyer who plead guilty to lying. Hardly anything to do with Russia. Oh and there is a criminal complaint against the Mueller team for suborning perjury.

There was no collusion, just russian operatives trying to help elect trump in exchange for liniency. Nobody said let’s collude and no one met at the Collusion Caffe.

Anyone who didn't abandon him after the Access Hollywood tape will never abandon him. That's a ton, literally, of Kool-Aid. Start digging the mass grave. The cult members are in it till the end.

When will senate congress impeach this corrupt ass. Take pence too!!

Fake News! I'm more enthusiastic than ever for Trump.

They got a choice to make and the clock is ticking

Horse shirt

You are Very Fake News and the Enemy of the People

These republicans need to realize that this is larger than their agenda. This is nation destroying behavior. Please join together to support our civilization and not individual interests.

Bs

I don't care, do u? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Are the GOP so stupid as to not realize what they have to do? Come on, save face and sever Trump completely OUT of the executive branch and the party. Otherwise GOP will go extinct.

hahahah its been 2 years and 0 damning evidence against Trump you people are in a fantasy world

' $iege Warfare' must be conducted silently cuz Rethuglicans have been quiet collaborators ... scared of their Twitter feeds

retouch

WaPo is having a meltdown because Cohen didn't come up with anything Mueller could use against Trump.

YEP....MAGA over Globalists. We will prevail. MAGA 2020. Suck it democrats.

The same way they saw HRC winning. Fake news there's no anxiety

Sometimes doing something, anything, apart from making a complete ass of oneself tends to lessen the anxiety COUGH COUGH ENTIRETY OF CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS

Maybe theyll all get ulcers

GOP needs a trump exit strategy. And quick!

Lol lmao got Paris? Rotflmao

Anxiety is growing as we watch Trump continue to spiral down, tweeting out of control.

If they grew a backbone then they could put a halt to all of this.
