Damn liberals keep hounding the Golden Boy as though he weren't a god: http://www.nationalreview.com/g-file/450624/trump-last-straw-charlottesville-antifa-alt-right-battles


On a related topic, remember how many people were convinced by last year's election that the Tangerine Twit didn't want to win? We had it slightly wrong: he wanted to win, he just didn't want to be president. That is to say, he has no interest in policy or legislation, no knowledge of hos the legislative process works or any inclination to learn.

Logically he should now want to resign.

I don't think he will. First he'll want to get re-elected more (he might resign right after the 2020 election if, Jove forbid, he wins). Second, he knows full well all he's done that could land him in prison, and also has deluded himself into believing he can pardon himself. So he wont' resign until either 1) he can quash the Mueller probe or 2) he can attempt to pardon himself for something really heinous.

On another related topic, it would seem Congress, especially the GOP wing, as well as certain cabinet officers like Mattis and Tillerson, are trying to work around the Douchebag in Chief. But it's just as plain they're tired of him. if the GOP does realize large enough losses in the 2018 midterms, whether they lose control of Congress or not(*), they may be more amenable to impeachment and removal.

(*)Perhaps especially if they don't lose control of Congress.

I just heard Paul Ryan commenting on Trump's speech, that Trump had spent the last six months working on this new doctrine. 6 months? Can Trump focus on anything for 6 hours? I'm sure he's signing on to someone else's hard work.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

He's been waiting on it for six months.

But I think it's sweet the Orange Twit wants to fail in a whole different way than his predecessors did.

Trump's idea of uniting the nation is "You let me do everything I want, and find a way to be ok with it."

Remember in 2016 many people, myself included, were predicting a civil war within the GOP?

Now, was that Trump I heard threatening the GOP Congress with a government shutdown.

Here's a periodic reminder for the righties with their heads in the sand that the 'pee tape' stuff has never been disproven, even though they often claim it has...
