About the flag thing
by digby
I hope nobody thinks Trump begrudgingly agreed to re-lower the flag to half staff and make a tepid tribute to John McCain yesterday because he felt any shame or contrition. He did it because Republican Senators were clearly upset about the controversy and he needs them to protect him from the Mueller probe.
That’s it. That’s all. But it does show one important thing: they have power to affect what this miscreant does. They just won’t use it for anything that isn’t self serving and personal to them.
They are just like Trump.
