I don't actually live there any more - I'm in the UK, but I go down once a year for a few weeks. White middle-class suburbia pretty much the same as it's always been there. Hoping for some shake ups in next year's election - this whole farm thing is a desperate attempt by the ANC to grab votes, and I have little hope that people see through it.

President Donald Trump questioned how he could be impeached when he's made strides improving economic conditions in an interview aired Thursday.

"You know, I guess it says something like high crimes and all -- I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job," Trump said in response to a question from Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt, who asked if he believes Democrats would try to impeach him if they win back control of Congress.

"If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor," Trump said. "You would see numbers that you wouldn't believe."

Trump said during the interview that he would give himself an "A+" if asked to grade his performance in office so far, citing his successful appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and predicting that Brett Kavanaugh, his next high court pick, will be confirmed as well.

"I give myself an A+. I don't think any President has ever done what I have done," Trump said.

"We haven't even been 2 years. Biggest tax cuts in history. Soon to be two unbelievable Supreme Court justices, I'm sure that Justice Kavanaugh will be approved. Justice Gorsuch has been a star. You look at all the things we have done with regulations, the economy is the best it has ever been in history. The only thing I'm doing badly in is the press doesn't cover me fairly," Trump said.

I saw someone say it doesn’t matter that he’s admitted it here, he’s speaking to his own crowd. Surely he’s been instructed to do this, but they don’t seem to be taking undecided/apathetic voters into consideration in all this. Surely all this bullshit will activate them against him, no?

I mean in the real world that’s what would happen.

My partner hates swearing, so she replaces "fuck" with "flip", and that's making this a lot more amusing to me than it should be.

I know "but Hillary's e-mails..." has become a meme, but how can conservative commentators think they will be taken serious when that's all they talk about when defending Trump?

That was Hannity's defense for most of his show today.

This "Law & Order President" might want to worry more about what is currently illegal before he attempts to tackle what ought to be outlawed.

Also, when he's ultimately gone, how many papers will run a headline of "Unpresidented"?

AP: National Enquirer hid damaging Trump stories in a safe
WASHINGTON — The National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents on hush money payments and other damaging stories it killed as part of its cozy relationship with Donald Trump leading up to the 2016 presidential election, people familiar with the arrangement told The Associated Press.

The detail came as several media outlets reported on Thursday that federal prosecutors had granted immunity to National Enquirer chief David Pecker, potentially laying bare his efforts to protect his longtime friend Trump.
what the what.
