The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1089 - Politics and Economics

I assume he's talking about a vacant Florida State Senate seat for a departing GOP rep who sadly had to resign after dropping the n-word on his colleagues.

it will be a miracle if the Dems hold 41 in the senate. Hopefully Hispanic and black voters figure out what is coming and manage to vote in larger numbers in 2018...

I know this is gonna blow peoples' minds and all, but that guy shouldn't have been executed even if he is guilty. I'll let others elaborate.

It didn't even take that much. Pics in the thread was enough.

The White House has adopted a new strategy in the battle over funding the government, one designed to compel Democrats to help fund Trump’s Mexican wall and expanded deportation force. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney is now saying that the White House might agree not to sabotage the Affordable Care Act — by funding the subsidies to insurance coverage for lower-income people which, if halted, could melt down the exchanges — if Democrats agree to fund the wall and more immigration enforcement agents.

But on the Thursday night conference call, House Dems resolved not to back down in the face of any such pressure, according to a readout of the call provided by a Democratic aide.

“We have the leverage and they have the exposure,” Dem leader Nancy Pelosi told people on the call, per the aide, adding that, because Republicans are in the majority, keeping the government funded will be seen as “their responsibility.”

Quote:

Absurdly enough, even as the White House is demanding concessions in exchange for not sabotaging the ACA, it is also pushing Congress to vote on a new version of the GOP repeal-and-replace bill that would be even more regressive and destructive than the last one was. Trump would likely take the blame for the chaos and loss of coverage that killing funding for the CSRs would unleash. Why should Dems bail him out of that problem — and allow Republicans to wield the CSRs as leverage against them — as long as the drive to roll back coverage for far more people continues? This should — and likely will — increase the resolve of Dems to dig in harder.

Tellingly, multiple reports indicate that the White House is demanding a rushed vote on the new repeal-and-replace bill because aides are desperate to showcase something, anything, as a legislative achievement in time for the 100-day mark. So you’d think the last thing the White House can tolerate is a government shutdown on Trump’s watch at precisely that moment, which would further reinforce the image that Trump and Republicans are making an enormous mess of governing. And so, in the government funding fight, Democrats should see the looming 100-day milestone as something that also gives them increased leverage. Judging by last night’s Democratic conference call, they are aware of this.

The Republicans should just agree to intentionally lose a majority of elections from here on out. The Democrats get to govern, and the Republicans get to go back to obstructing. Win win.

Actually, all you have to do is make the state governor themselves inject the cocktail or pull the lever. Watch how many of them change their minds. It's easy to sentence someone to death when you are not the one doing the actual killing.

Apparently the Trump admin denies Exxon's Russia request, but I think that needs a big "for now".

Any talk in here of Carl Icahn's lawyer swearing street thugs in loyalty oaths to ISIS in Indonesia as part of an effort to overthrow the government? An Indonesian partner in Trump properties is also involved.

In other news, water is wet. I wish the partial source releases would stop. It is going to take at least year to get all the evidence before anything can really be done. Building a case is hard, especially with the FBI, CIA, and NSA giving their evidence. We know Russia did something, now to prove if Trump and his campaign had anything to do with... ugh

With that being said, the investigation started last July, so maybe this July the will have all their ducks in a row.
