I can't speak for all Americans, but I feel...betrayed. Enough's enough. I know if he does something illegal he can be impeached and potentially removed from office. But whether he knows it or not, he works for We the People. Can't we just fire him? "Hey, look, Donnie, what don't you have a seat...look, this just isn't working out. I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go."
And he needs to get help for Bi-polar disorder; because, he just changed his mind again. Now he says he believes the intel community on Russian meddling. The guy swings with any wind!
He doesn't have to do something illegal to be removed from office. He can also be removed under the 25th Amendment.
Yeah, but they're not going to do that. I suppose we could all write our congressmen and say, "Remove him or you're out in November," but that won't happen. After all is said and done, more will be said than done. Enough of us need to be on the same page. This only happens if every senator and representative in the country gets hundreds of letters/emails a day calling for this. Will never happen.
Let's get rolling on the 25th. This asshole and the republicans are running this country right into the ground. I'm sure they were bumping dickheads during part of the meeting. Turncoat sonuvabitch! Whatever this child says---bottom line it's always going to be how HE ---no one else---( except maybe his children--the rest of the crime family) can make money out of this "deal." I'll say this again--I was glad when G. Bush was elected so that people could see how fucked up republicans are and maybe relegate them to the well deserved past;. Nope. Party before country . Party before citizens. The Trump party.
OOOOOOoooooo--it's getting more difficult for them!!! How in hell do you get behind this latest , fustercluck??
Trump has much more pressing issues to address. Trump to redesign Air Force One to be 'red, white and blue' Reuters July 17, 2018 Trump to redesign Air Force One
It's going to be so beautiful...everyone will have affordable health insurance...there is going to be so much love for the dreamers...I alone can fix this...Haiti is a shithole country...I talked to the president of Puerto Rico...
Trump’s Pathetic Performance Masks a Deeper Betrayal We may one day view the silence of top Republicans as its own national scandal. by Peter Hamby July 17, 2018 6:29 pm Trump’s Pathetic Performance Masks a Deeper Betrayal excerpt: "This is not to say Republicans shouldn’t vote for conservative judges, or tax cuts, or regulatory rollbacks. They are Republicans, and Republicans control the government. They should vote for those things, and the left is silly to pretend they shouldn’t. But Hillary Clinton faced three years of Republican-held hearings over Benghazi, and now the same Republican-controlled Congress stands by, mostly mute, as Trump slowly grinds away at our institutions and diplomatic norms, our treaties, our discourse, our free press, our justice system, and even our federal law-enforcement agencies? O.K. Instead of looking into Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns, instead of even just saying what’s actually on their minds, we are left with privately aggrieved Republican members whispering their discomfort to Politico Playbook, but only on background. In Tuesday’s edition: “There was a general consensus in the Capitol yesterday: President Donald Trump thoroughly embarrassed the United States standing next to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the world’s biggest stage.” The next paragraph of Playbook, however, revealed exactly where Republicans stand: “But, privately, senior-level Republican aides and lawmakers had a second message: what the hell do you want us to do?” So, despite the fury from unburdened Republicans like McCain and retiring Senators Jeff Flake and Bob Corker, the real power centers of the party, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan chief among them, are standing firmly behind Trump, even if they are privately mortified and maybe even wondering if Trump is indeed compromised. They’ll happily take a flawed, comprised, insecure president in exchange for their preferred policy outcomes—no matter the long-term damage to American institutions and our standing in the world. We may one day look back at their silence and see it as its own kind of national betrayal."
Look for Mattis, and Kelly to resign soon. Good for them, but bad for us. I am not a fan of either of them, but they were the best of the lot.
Hannity is still defending Trump who is still defending Flynn, Manafort, Putin, and the Russian intelligence agency. Hannity claims that Republicans who are critical of Trump are afflicted with a pathological need to be loved when in fact Trump is afflicted with that disorder. How Trump’s Disastrous Putin Press Conference Is Playing on Fox News by Ryan Bort July 17, 2018 11:59AM ET How Trump’s Disastrous Putin Press Conference Is Playing on Fox News – Rolling Stone excerpt: "On his radio show Monday afternoon, Trump’s favorite cable news host, golf partner and late-night confidant trashed the “pathetically weak,” “visionless,” uninspiring” and “spineless” Republicans criticizing the president’s performance. “The only thing they seem to care about in life is being loved,” Hannity said. He’d just finished recording an interview with the president that would air later Monday night. The focus of the sit down was the “phony” Mueller investigation. “You were very strong at the the end of that press conference,” Hannity reassured Trump, referencing the president’s bizarre invocation of FBI agent Peter Strzok and Hillary Clinton’s emails immediately before leaving the podium. “You said, ‘Where are the servers?'” Yes, he did say that. Trump railed against the probe, which most recently yielded an indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking into the Clinton campaign and other Democratic organizations prior to the 2016 election (plus another indictment of a Russian national with ties to the NRA late Monday). “It’s driven a wedge between us and Russia,” Trump said of the investigation. Never mind the wedge Russia has successfully driven between the United States and its actual allies. “They drove a phony wedge, a phony witch hunt, rigged deal, with guys like Peter Strzok and Comey and McCabe,” Trump continued. “McCabe, Strzok, Page,” Hannity confirmed dutifully. “The whole group,” replied Trump. “It’s a real shame.” The president wasn’t done. Not only would he continue to cite Putin’s comments as if they legitimized his belief that Mueller’s investigation is a witch hunt, he would defend his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who has pled guilty to lying to the FBI, and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, who is currently in jail awaiting trial for a host of corruption-related charges stemming from Mueller’s investigation. “He really is a nice man,” Trump said of Manafort. “You look at what’s going on with him. It’s like Al Capone.” It’s unclear what point the president was trying to make there. Capone, an infamous American gangster, was charged with tax evasion in 1931. “It’s a sad thing,” Trump said. “It’s a very sad thing for our country to see this.”"
Meanwhile, as Benedict Trump tries to climb out of the treason swamp reports are in about cold, hungry kidnapped children still held in detention by Trump. A report on conditions has been filed in L.A. federal court. Claims of forced hunger, dehydration, and sleeplessness; in other words torture, came from over 200 children and parents. Welcome to Trump's America.
The point where: (1) the economy takes a marked downturn; (2) Mueller produces a smoking gun; and/or (3) the Demos retake Congress.The tariff squeeze in the farm states is starting to take effect--a delegation from Iowa to congressional representatives to see what can be done. Inflation is creeping up. But so far, the stock market is holding, Larry Kudlow is preaching that prosperity is around the corner, that Trump's "tough " policies have brought positive results with NATO, etc. As for Mueller and the elections, we can hope. Trump's nominee for the vacant Supreme Court seat is on record saying he'd like to put the final nail in the coffin of the Special Prosecutor statute, and Trump's buddy Putin will do his best to take care of the 2018 elections. Then there's Maria Butina, the recently indicted Russian spy, who infiltrated that most "patriotic" of American institutions, the NRA. That caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal, which is not dismissable as "fake News". Alleged Russian Foreign Agent Cultivated Ties With U.S. Conservatives, NRA Russian woman charged with spying for Moscow by 'infiltrating' NRA But that will be swept under the rug and forgotten quickly. If the World War II generation can be called "the greatest", what name should we give the idiots and cowards making up the bulk of the Trump base. "Deplorable" isn't nearly strong enough.The movie "Idiocracy" should be required viewing in today's civics and political science classes.
