The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[McParadigm]

I keep thinking back to how, just a few weeks ago, Pelosi had open rebellion in her own ranks and a freshly unified Republican Party that had replaced most of its weak links with fervent loyalists in front of her.

Miss Nancy. If you’re nasty


"The indictment of Roger Stone makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by top Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the American people. It is staggering that the President has chosen to surround himself with people who violated the integrity of our democracy and lied to the FBI and Congress about it.

In the face of 37 indictments, the President's continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raises the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially? Why has the Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the U.S. out of NATO, which would be a massive victory for Putin?

Lying to Congress and witness tampering constitute grave crimes. All who commit these illegal acts should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We cannot allow any effort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from appearing before Congress.

The Special Counsel investigation is working, and the House will continue to exercise our constitutional oversight responsibility and ensure that the Special Counsel investigation can continue free from interference from the White House."

And she hasn’t even given him his speech back yet. "Yes, you ate your broccoli, but you didn't do it when I first asked, so no treats until you clean your room."

It’s hard to overstate what a dynamic shift she just established for the next two years. On every new battleground, her caucus will be actionably unified and faithful, while Republicans will have to contend with Trump’s self-sabotage, simplicity, and insecurities. Mitch already figured this out, which is why he refused to swoop in after Donald yanked the Senate bill away.

Just such a stark contrast between her on the ball play during all this and her language and then look at the 18 minute long incoherent rambling by Trump in that ‘statement’. Was the TelePrompTer broken or something? He seemed to be repeating himself and rambling utter nonsense.
Surely this past month and his climbdown has turned his base against him even a little?

About his base - no. That won’t change.

About the promoter - I believe it was actually broken. For real

It definitely seemed like it

Don't go all high fives and back pats just yet. Nancy's played some good ball but I still think Donald J will declare a national emergency to get his wall down the road.

From what I gather it will be challenged and never actually happen?!

[dimejinky99]

Read somewhere that even if he went the emergency route it can still get neutered by the house.

This is, in fact, exactly what I said tops my assumptions about the next step. There’s just no way such an order survives the courts....especially after waiting so very long AND caving on the same issue you claim is an emergency moments before.

There will be someone to blame though. That's what matters. He doesn't really care about a wall in any real way.

Man Stone is a defiant psychopath. Interview with cnn right now. Man alive.

Guy is such a fucking loser.

Right. That’s the defeat right now. You say national emergency then why did you just postpone it yet again?

Next. But. Grab em by the balls.

It was, actually.

We’re all fine here. Everything’s fine here. How are you?

It’s a pretty simple process but it’s baffling how he’s gotten away with it for so long

[dimejinky99]

There it is ‘didn’t even know him! Never met him!’

When Don Jr gets arrested ‘minor son! Barely knew him! Not even sure he is my son! No collusion!’

[McParadigm]

This seems at first blush like a fairly weird thing to comment on
