The ex-president operated like a Mafia boss and, thanks to a new racketeering charge, may go down like one too.

    As the saying goes, “If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

    I don’t care how many Republicans are troubled by Trump’s behavior, I don’t care how many Republicans think he’s a bit too much, I don’t care how many Republicans dislike the MAGA movement.

    Talk is cheap.

    74 million voters decided that they wanted Trump to be president for another term in 2020, decided to give Trump their vote, decided to support Trump.

    That makes them Trump supporters.

    And it makes the GOP the Party of Trump.

      Not all Republicans are sitting at the same table. There are two very different tables and only one has Nazis sitting at it.

        The one with the Nazis sitting at it has 74 million people.

        How many Republicans are sitting at the other table, and where can I find that table?

            LOL.

            The Freedom Caucus is the bloc that is trying to pull the GOP further to the right. The Freedom Caucus is where all the Obama hating Tea Party radical agitators ended up. The Freedom Caucus is completely aligned with Trump.

            From your own link:

            After hardline House conservatives aggravated GOP leaders by halting the chamber floor in protest, the Freedom Caucus — which most of the agitators call home — is growing in numbers.

            The Trump-aligned bloc admitted two new members this week

            Are you just not familiar with US politics?
