The Washington Post reports:
After a two-year absence, the Gridiron Club hosted its 137th dinner Saturday night with the profound desire that the pandemic, two presidential impeachment trials and an attack on the U.S. Capitol have not permanently ruptured this country.
So there was both shock and relief when New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, the Republican speaker for the night, weighed in on Donald Trump.
“He’s fucking crazy,” Sununu said to laughter and applause — and, notably, no booing. “I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution,” he added. “But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out.”
Politico has some of Sununu’s other jabs:
On Ginni Thomas’ now-infamous text messages to Mark Meadows: “We know she may be extreme, but let’s face it: when it comes to texting, she’s no Anthony Weiner. And you guys thought we forgot about that freakshow.”
And Ted Cruz hanging out with the People’s Convoy: “Nobody really knows why [the Convoy protesters are] in Washington in the first place — which pretty much describes Ted himself, right? … What is with Ted? You see that beard He looks like Mel Gibson after a DUI or something.”
On Trump ally and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell: “This guy’s head is stuffed with more crap than his pillows. And by the way, I was told not to say this, but I will: His stuff is crap. I mean, it’s absolute crap. You only find that kind of stuff in the Trump Hotel.”
Only two other Republicans attended this year’s event, Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Roy Blunt.
It’s refreshing to read about a Republican that actually sees the idiocy that’s going on in his chosen party.

Hello Nan. Ever since the public turned against Putin and tRump kept publicly praising him the Republicans have seen their opening to go after tRump. Other than the cult sycophants such as Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, and Lindsey Graham most of the Republicans in leadership and higher office hate tRump. They don’t want to run defending him and his stupidity. He is not able to rally his cult like he did, the cult is shrinking. His ability to get the candidates he wants elected is being noticed. His waning power to sway elections is enabling other mainstream Republicans to finally move against him and speak their minds. I exspect the dam will break and a lot of people will openly speak against tRump after the midterms.
