In the end we need to turn our steely gaze onto the DNC also, every single politician needs to know that if they even think about stepping out of line we'll be watching and waiting. A Brave New World my ass; how about a Pissed Off World Mr. Huxley? Did you ever think about that? Eh?

Our political system is broken beyond repair and we just have to hope they occasionally toss us a candidate that doesn't make our stomachs turn. Why does the television media get to decide that we can only have a two party system? The number of people that vote in this country is roughly half of the people that are eligible. Apathy and ignorance is going to take us all down.

Oh well, never mind then.
Trump declares the Stock Market would collapse if Democrats impeached him.
“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job,” Trump said, in the interview which aired Thursday on "Fox & Friends".
Further, he warned, “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor, because without this thinking, you would see — you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”

The big joke here is that Mueller has been on a tropical vacation since the whole investigation started, since he figured out early on that if he simply kept his head down and his mouth shut that Trump would impeach himself.
All the best arrows in the quiver came from Trump himself.

45 is now in full blown injured scorpion mode. He lashed out at Sessions for not making this whole thing go away and damn if the little weasel didn't stand up from himself and the DOJ. You know you're in big trouble when when the weasels stop cowering and turn on you.

I have to believe that most of the West Wing, except for 45, understands. At least he probably isn't just sitting there talking to Lincoln, he doesn't take anybody's advice, alive or dead.

It's time to concentrate on November and getting rid of as many evil motherfuckers in Washington as we can. Then we can talk about shutting his Presidency down.

I do know. At least Trump's incompetent, so he's somewhat limited in the damage he can do. Pence is a truly scary guy.

That means that there is, effectively, a Coups D'etat going on in the White House right now. As much as I hate the fucking pig bastard, he was elected President and should be removed not governed around by people we didn't elect. Ted Cruz and all the other sycophants deserve the worst level of hell that Dante could imagine.

Exclusive: Psychiatrist Bandy Lee says White House officials told her Trump was “unraveling”
Yale shrink says Trump officials reached out to her last fall, suggests his mental state is rapidly deteriorating
Essentially, the White House staff have de facto informally invoked the 25th Amendment, recognizing among themselves that [Trump] is incapable of carrying out the duties of the office. Knowing that he is dangerously mentally unbalanced, they are seeking to provide ballast to keep him from capsizing the ship of state. This is a madness of King George situation. Or perhaps we should say the emperor's new clothes, where everyone can see the emperor has no sanity, even though no one is allowed to say it aloud...

These are fair-minded and honorable thoughts. As my Bloomberg Opinion colleague Francis Wilkinson noted, “anyone who thinks they escape the moral and political taint of this administration by murmuring anonymous misgivings about Trump is a fool as well as a coward.” And writers, as the first lady highlights, should have the courage and character to stand by their words (though anonymity is a valuable necessity for reporters' sources if used judiciously).
He totally misses the point that the "anonymous" writer is known to the New York Times but requested anonymity, presumably, so they can keep Trump from blowing up the world.
Addendum:
Wouldn't it be a hoot if it turned out to be Pence or Sessions?

As the saying goes, you won't be seeing this on Conservative radio and television Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decades.
I've been waiting on more stories about this since he started campaigning. Either it's total bullshit or everybody in the press here is afraid of the Soviet poison pellet.

The best evidence of collusion, which is hiding in plain sight, is Trump's own behavior. Trump's endless drumbeat of "no collusion" is totally out of character for someone who is in fact innocent. Then there's the fact that Trump has been obstructing the investigation with aggression and regularity, which is in itself potentially criminal. Why would he do so, and take the accompanying risk if he didn't need to?
Taking Trump's behavior in its totality, there is no other credible explanation for his actions.
Then there's the fact that his campaign has already been caught colluding with Russia. The only remaining question in my mind is whether Mueller will find concrete evidence proving that Trump himself was aware of, and approved of the collusion. At this point only Mueller and his crew know that.

I don't really give a rat's ass about collusion which, by itself, isn't even actually a crime. He's a crook who didn't even have sense enough to realize that the dirty dealings he was involved with before he was nominated had to stop after you're a candidate for President. Unfortunately for him it can't, because he's in too deep with the Russian Mafia a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian Government.
This guy has cruised through life lying, abusing his power, and forcing people to sign NDAs. "Not acting Presidential" is the least of his crimes.

It only works as trolling if it cranks someone up, and I don't see that it is upsetting anyone. JetRx is merely advertising the fact that he draws unsupported conclusions from a paucity of data (the fact that Woodward found no evidence is not evidence in its own right, and it's not particularly compelling either -- especially given everything else we know).
If he wants to pick a fight with only a weak argument to defend himself, I'll play along for a round or two. But I'm a scrapper.

You're right, it is boring, and past caring whether the infamous PEE TAPE reveals more than weak stream syndrome.
Trump didn't pwn and suck the air out of the nation's news media. Our oligarchs accomplished that, in record time, too.

I was not aware of the fact that political posting was frowned upon. Trump has been front and center since I've been posting here, and it's pretty difficult to get through a week (and sometimes even a day) without the subject of him coming up. But, hey, I can learn and adapt.
