That's how Rick Wilson described the corruption of the Trump administration: We've seen only the tip of it and it already stinks, and we know there's much, much more below the surface. So what will happen after His Lardship is acquitted by the pusillanimous GOPers in the Senate - pretty much a foregone conclusion - and afterwards the rest of the fecal iceberg surfaces, as it surely will? Are these craven senators so afraid of His Lardship's wrathful tweets they will acquit him even knowing (as they must) that as bad as the known shit is, the yet-unknown shit will turn out to be much more and much worse, and will be discovered, sooner or later? A third of them have to run for re-election in November. His Lardship, of course, also will be running. Should we assume that the senators are whistling past the graveyard, or are less fearful of the ship of state being sunk by the fecal iceberg than they are of Trump's demented cult?
I am hoping that after Trump's acquittal in this reverse-kangaroo court impeachment trial the fecal iceberg will surface in its odoriferous entirety and the GOP will have to eat all of it.

(23,166 posts)drumpf won't be able to stop and will accelerate his mania of lies, destruction and criminality to even greater heights and this leaking out plus Bolton's book will explode their shit mountain to shreds, all over them and their rw russian repug enablers. I don't think we're anywhere near to knowing all the many ways he hurts this country and endangers us every day for his own profit. When (if) SCOTUS enablers his constitution shredding, things could get so much worse.
Don't know if this is salvageable, but still we have to give it all we can in that effort.

(3,011 posts)or is afraid of him, why won't the Senate get rid of him so he can go to jail? He can't hurt them after he's gone. Surely, all the Senate isn't being blackmailed. Right?

(111,383 posts)and I think they're more afraid of Barr than they are of him.
Once you get sucked in by the mob, you live in fear of pissing off some honcho with that balanced by glee of cashing in and getting away with breaking laws all over the place and having mob protection. They know they'll be safe and in the money as long as they play ball, but that Barr will try to destroy them and the purse will snap shut if they defy Fearless Leader in any way, never mind physical danger from unhinged morons out in Gun Land.
The stench coming out of that party is unmistakable but much of the center of the country seems immune to it.

(19,204 posts)I couldn't stop laughing. It describes Trump perfectly, because for every rotten, stinking, fetid act you can see or hear, there's 90% below the surface you don't see, and it's much worse than what you actually see.
That's the most perfect description of the Trump Shit-Show I've ever heard.
