Yes, thump is already LOVING the prospect of two more years of bare-knuckle combat with the Dems in the House. He’s bored if there’s not a dogfight going on.
And they can subpoena his tax returns until the cows come home, but he will NEVER release them, and no one can/will make him.
Yeah, I think the Dems need some political aikido - use Trump’s energy against him. Having Pelosi as the antagonist would be a nightmare.
He, personally, wouldn’t have the choice, the subpoena would go to the IRS.
And we can stop pretending that Susan Collins (R-ME) is an “important swing vote”.
If I were the House Democrats, I would move to create an independent commission, similar to the 9/11 Commission, to look into Russian interference in our elections. This will probably die in the Senate, but when Democrats get accused over partisanship they can say “we tried to do a non-partisan inquiry, but the Republicans wouldn’t agree to it.” They can then proceed with their own investigation.
I have the same feeling that a cancer patient has when he finds out his cancer is in remission. Your problems aren’t over, but at least the cancer isn’t spreading further.
Republican voters won’t be able to delude themselves when they receive that notice in the mail that they lost their health insurance. Sadly, that may be the only thing that motivates them in the right direction.
I think the Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time. They can do both. It’s probably not wise to put Russia front and center though. Just quietly investigate. Don’t make too much fuss about in the absence of any bombshells.
Yeah, but they and thump will blame the Democrats.
I agree. Let’s not gum that thing to death right now. Wait until the Dems can detonate an explosion right in the Oval Office (metaphorically speaking).
Yes. And let’s also tackle all the other things that are wrong with this administration, start with the blatant corruption and graft-peddling of certain current-and-former cabinet members.
There’s just so much going on, all of it needs to be looked at.
And none too soon. I just listened to a few grueling minutes of the Not-so-Great Pumpkin taking questions from the press, and Jesus H. Twerking Christ.
I realize that “Trump is an idiot who has no fucking idea what he’s talking about” isn’t exactly breaking news, but he could’ve just stood there making armpit fart noises and his answers would’ve made just as much sense.
No, Trump likes having somebody he can use as a punching bag. He has no interest in being in a fight with somebody who can hit back. He’s just a bully and like most bullies, he lacks what it takes to be a fighter.
Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz disagree.
…but not too strongly, since they’re whiny little man-baby sycophants (except for maybe Jeb, who seems to have disappeared into the aether).
I’ve highlighted the key words every way I can find. Do I need to figure out some way to make blink tags work?
Why start with cabinet members? Let’s go directly to Trump’s blatant corruption and graft-peddling. He’s the most personally corrupt President we’ve ever had. Let’s get it on record before 2020.
This is one of those moments that makes you ask yourself: “Is he on LSD, or am I?”
Nonsense. These guys are all his fellow Republicans who have no interest in taking down Trump. The fact that Trump and his followers act like the mild disagreements he has with these people are major battles just demonstrates how incapable Trump is of fighting a real battle.
Jeff Sessions has resigned, effective immediately. At Trump’s request.
He doesn’t want to be IN a fight. He thrives on presiding OVER a fight. He has said that this is his preferred management style (if you can call it that). He believes promoting and creating chaos is the best way to govern/manage. Keep everyone on their toes.
Yep - his line is “let’s you and him fight”
Thump throws tantrum at presser.

SNAFU.
