Mark Sanford just BURNED Trump in the context of Paul Ryan's "Unity" speech

Morning Joe right now.

Sanford threw out Trump's remark about "You punch him and I'll pay the legal fees."

Scarborough is trying to use diplomatic weasel words, saying "This might not have started with Donald Trump, but I hope it ends with Donald Trump...TRY a little bit of decency, TRY a little bit of humanity..."

And no matter how they are dancing around it, all roads lead to Trump.

1. The road that leads to Trump passes through McConnell-vile and Ryan-station. That's a fact!

Mika saying it starts at the top. Conspiracies, lying and lack of decency from the President.
Man, the gloves have been off and hitting hard for weeks now.

That's what's so stupid. People that listen to that crap think they actually are forming an informed opinion. I know people that can't tell me the name of any of their state reps but they know all about how those same reps think. This is why our country is almost completely fascist.

6. Great Irony in Ryan's new definition of "Family"
Thu Jun 15, 2017, 08:22 AM

The dominant Republican definition of "family" until now. has been the 2oth century traditional nuclear family.

Now Ryan declares his workplace colleagues a "family" although the Democratic members of the "family" seem to not enjoy full family membership rights. Sort of like the rich family who claim that the servants are "really family."

Members of Congress are not a family they are individuals sent to Congress by Americans to conduct our business.

Frankly Paul Ryan's invoking of family status-as he hid in his meeting with Republicans in a bid to keep "family secrets" sound more like the pleading of a crime family boss warning his crime family to keep information in the family and away from us-the rightful owners of the information.

Members of Congress are colleagues and co-workers--not family. Ultimate loyalty is to the citizenry not to each other or to. party members or sitting president's of their own party.
