Aaron Rupar reports that when trump entered the Senate Republican lunch just now

[senseandsensibility]

the Rs greeted him with applause and loud cheers. So much for them being angry that he blew up their bill this morning, "surrendered" on Iran, and is dragging them down with his low poll numbers.

1. Bunch of sycophant fraidy cats...kissing t-rumps widdle mushroom...so cute...

[senseandsensibility]

3. Cute is not the word I'd use

[Traildogbob]

4. They all gather

And are required to snort his mushroom spores, and they gleefully do.
Not off a mirror, right up under the mushroom cap.
And each one must praise the size of the cap.
Some like Lindsay have to be pulled away. But he just wriggles away and slithers back up his ass.
Some people say, behind a tarp.

[Ilsa]

2. When leaving the luncheon, onlookers reportedly told

the senators that they had chocolate on their noses. Surprised, they all replied that dessert was a strawberry shortcake.

[RockRaven]

5. They are cowards. Every single one of them.

Never be fooled by the occasional posturing. Deep down, they are abject worms.

[senseandsensibility]

6. Rupar also reported that right before trump entered he

was doing his usual nonsensical ranting and called Dems "communists" saying that the country is not going to have communists. That's his prediction for the midterms. Then he walked across the hall to his crowd of cheering Rs who love the guy who is going to lose the election for them.

20. I think that the R's believe trump's statement that Americans won't have to vote again.

They've given up trying to please the stoopids that elected them. They're just waiting for the one man/one dynasty rule that has been promised. (And they think they'll be rewarded!)

7. Before they entered the lunch room they stopped by the spine check room.

A gathering of squirming spineless toadies with no allegiance to the country for which they were supposedly elected to serve.

[senseandsensibility]

9. You have a way with words!

[erronis]

21. And the spine lockers were empty!

[orthoclad]

8. It's all about the power

Everything else is kayfabe.

[Alice Kramden]

14. kayfabe: I learned something new

Thanks for posting!

[Martin68]

10. They are all still on board. They will go down with the ship because they can't think of an alternative.

[senseandsensibility]

12. And it will be well deserved

Couldn't happen to more deserving bunch, in fact. And this time Dems need to brand Rs with their losing record. Unlike when dubya left office in disgrace after crashing the economy, we need to make it very clear that Rs own this and we will get the same if we elect an R again.

[Quanto Magnus]

15. Many still think

Trump will step in during the mid-terms to make sure they win, regardless of what the actual votes say.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. This Republican Party is a disgrace

History books will chronicle their cowardice and complicity for years to come.

[Chicagogrl1]

13. It really does make you wonder though

Is the fix in??? The fact that they have no self preservation on display makes one wonder. I am beyond sick today.

[erronis]

23. That's my reading also.

Each of them will be given 3 jillian trump coins when this republic comes crashing down. There'll be a run on the trump bank but the doors will be closed.

[struggle4progress]

16. "It's so exciting! It's like one of. those Nuremberg rallies!"

[hibbing]

17. Approval rating among Republicans still way too high

Polls I see with the google- Donald Trump’s approval rating among Republicans and Republican-leaning voters sits between 68% and 80%.

[WestMichRad]

18. Mob boss threatens lieutenants

… and they grovel in response. Details at eleven.

[maxsolomon]

19. We'll see. Not all of them could be pleased.

Cornyn and Cassidy can't be.

[Wiz Imp]

22. Nobody said that all Republicans or even most had turned on Trump

Most are still clearly compliant. Therefore, having cheers for Trump means nothing unless there is evidence that every one of them cheered. Other Reporting of the meeting says several confronted him in the meeting including Cassidy getting in a shouting match with him.
