        Yeah, I think you could make a plausible argument that many staffers didn't fully understand what they were getting into in January 2017, but if they're still in it a year and a half later, they have made their bed.

        In addition to the GOP-funded hush money payments, they'll end up with cushy academic jobs thanks to Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University.

        No sympathy here. I’d have sympathy after year one. By then, anyone with common sense should have been out.

        I like the use of the word "moral" for "morale" in this putative statement from a White House staffer. Morals as well as morale, I'm sure, has never been at a lower level in the White House.

        It is true though that moral in the White House is pretty damn low.

        Ya, well probably no better time to remind these spineless losers that 63 people were indicted during Watergate, 43 were convicted, and 41 went to prison. Have a great weekend!

        Know whom else didn’t sign up for Trump’s shit, W/H aides who are now getting up w/fleas? * 2975 Puerto Ricans who needed more than a roll of paper towels, thanks; * 528 kids zombified on purpose by Trump Miller et al. to punish their parents. But tell more about your pain.

        Freudian slip? Surely he meant morale because the moral(s) of this White House have always been exceedingly low.
