Top Dem: 'We have a seriously flawed human being in the Oval Office'

Source: The Hill




BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 01/07/18 10:23 AM EST

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in a Sunday show interview said the United States has “a seriously flawed” person occupying the White House, referring to President Trump.

“The big question for us, though, is you know, plainly we have a seriously flawed human being in the Oval Office,” Schiff said on CNN’s “State of the Union. Will those flaws be allowed to permeate the whole of government?”

Schiff, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said he does not think anyone is shocked by the revelations in Michael Wolff’s new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” about how the Trump's inner circle views the president's capability to do his job. “I don't think there is anyone in Congress, frankly, of either party, who does not concur at least privately with those observations and concerns,” Schiff said.

“Certainly, very few are willing to express them publicly in Congress and I think that's to the detriment of our institution.”

Somebody to destroy "da gubmint".

It's a bit like the Texans who thought it would be OK to secede because they'd still have income from the military bases.

As long as only them who get to die in a nuclear attack if their dumbass gets pissy.

Less dumb people in the gene pool is good and all, but leave us normal, thinking and reading people alone.

Remember, the "dumb people" in the gene pool make us look smarter...

The only peeps I don't want reproducing are the religious fanatics; i.e., Roy Moore and Jim Jordan types.

"You! Outta the gene pool!"

Stop focusing on their useless president, all that "patsy" does is sign whatever the Republican party wants.

Ds need to start to focus on elected Republicans, stop them, expose their corruption- get rid of them.

get our Presidential candidate out now. Let's get this ball rolling, Get Trump something to bitch about. They can pull out in a year and another one can take his place. Take away his media but make sure he aims his remarks personally at Trump.

Let's see his handlers fall. Make him show himself that even his voters worry for grandchildrens safety. Democratic Party, hello?

No Ds discuss any real policies at all in todays media, its all only gossip about the republicans bill signer. Ds shouldn't even accept interviews about tabloid gossip.

There is no way "the home of the BRAVE" belongs in there.

May I suggest "the home of the bought"?
