Sen. Chuck Grassley: Russia can't blackmail Trump because we already know Trump's a pile of crap

But he's your pile of crap.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican, has a fascinating theory for why it doesn't matter if Russia has compromising information on Trump.

“It seems to me that when you go back through the campaign and all the things that Trump said that ought to give him political problems and all the things that were caught on tape — that he would probably just as soon not have the world know about it – it’s kind of improbable to me that anybody who knows anything about Trump — that’s going to end up hurting Trump. And he was elected President of the United States.”

So according to Grassley, the Republican president-elect is already known to be such a perverted, ignorant, crooked, lying pile of crap that there's just nothing else out there that could "end up hurting him." Interesting theory.

Remember back when every Republican was trying to build up their next candidate into the second coming of Ronald Reagan—Reagan being the last Republican president Republicans still feel comfortable mentioning in polite company? Yeah, Trump isn't getting the Reagan treatment. The best the top Republicans in the nation can do is shrug that hell, if he can be this crooked and still get Republican votes, then I guess they'll be sticking with him for the long haul.

watch out. He might seem meek,but he will go to no end to take someone down. Top it off,Trump took another shot at Lindsey Graham,another one of the get even Senators. Remember little Lindsey co-authored the Clinton Impeachment.

Cue Joel Grey. If Putin has Trump's wallet by the ballsack, then Trump will play ball. So we don't know what Trump owes to Putin-letting that leak or cutting the cash supply and Trump will do anything and everything Putin wants. He respects Putin ONLY because Putin is more evil than he is and because his whole identity is tied to his wallet. That's all that matters. There was one thing he wouldn't allow to be roasted on that roast on Comedy Central-questioning his actual worth.
