I hate to break it to you wilt, but if you consider how effective Obama was with an absolute obstructionist congress, you know Trump has plenty of room to continue (bleep) (bleep) up.

Trump is a sick man. I was watching All In With Chris Hayes. Trump said he didn't know a woman, I didn't catch her name, that he had taken a picture with. Said he didn't stay overnight in Russia, plane records prove he did. Chris listed 2 pr 3 more lies he told that were be proven to be lies. He's surrounded himself with proven liars. How long can this continue?

At least another 21 months.


You mean 33 months. I know it is weird to think about, it trump has only been president 15 months.

Hope Dems take control of House and Senate and the remainder of Trump's last 2 years is mired with Mueller indictment charges. Bonus that Trump had illegal loans and his finances is revealed to be a sham. And Donald Jr. gets send to jail.

I see just an after thought. Not a real intention. No bar has been set.

A baby boomer told me the other day, "at least my generation 'handled' our George Wallace. Your generation elected him".
Had to google it to realize what he meant by "handled". Some people, when they hit a certain age, have no filter.

The end doesn't justify the means.

Troubles rise for Trump's VA pick as Senate committee delays hearing

While the statement did not offer details on the allegations faced by Jackson, CBS News reported that staffers are looking into chargers of a "hostile work environment," including "excessive drinking on the job [and] improperly dispensing meds.”

You really think someone could say that Trump weighed 239 and had great genes while sober? I'd have to be at a point where Keith Richards pulls me aside to tell me he's worried about me.

How Trump chooses the best people in two simple steps:

Unqualified person: Trump is awesome!
Trump: HIRED!

It would have been interesting if a Senator had asked him about Trump's weight and what he would have answered under oath.

Have to admit it's crossed my mind. Then came a vision of Mike Pence. (Shudder)

If there is ever someone you can no longer extend the benefit of the doubt to it's trump. anyone doing so at this point is just as bad as trump himself. When you start giving people like trump passes, you yourself are like trump. So the reason that you dont want people to be down on him as they should is because you see yourself in him and you wouldn't want people to be down on you in that same situation.

bigger words available but what a mess..

How does one rectify this within themselves..

Pema Chodron said when Mao Zedong died the Dalai Lama cried..
Mao brutalized his people.
DL cried because Mao would not get a chance to cleanse his Karma in this life

There is something about hearing Trumps voice that makes me almost physically ill.. I have only listened to him since president maybe two or three times. His speech and mannerisms are grotesque and I believe my mind is deeply fearful that other humans who hear him are believing and supporting him.. it hurts inside.

Politics really really xinfinity needs redefined
Politics.. not a fair description for the humans that wear the title. some of them are worse than every single criminal we've locked up

POTUS saying we should start killing the family members of terrorists and his first night as pos.. he kills several family members .. little children even .. in a botched raid.. probably botched via Russians getting the intel from a close Trump aide..

Which makes for an interesting thought experiment. If Watergate history repeats itself and the VP resigns before the President does (or is forced out), whom does Trump choose as the replacement VP, and therefore his own successor?
