The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1910 - Politics and Economics

LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!

TRUMP has a rally in Youngstown OH today. There were 20,000 plus ticket requests, arena only holds 7000.

Sessions has the option to be fired or resign. TRUMP obviously prefers a resignation. Pretty sure resignation is preferred due to NDA Sessions has but not sure. Dems going hard to the paint for Sessions would be hilarious after all the attacks on him calling him a racist the Dems leveled at him during the confirmation hearings. All the calls from Dems in Congress saying he should resign. Wasn't Manchin the only Dem that voted for confirmation? Anyway TRUMP wants to get an AG that will reign Mueller in.

Yes he doesn't care about hillary at all, that's why he hasn't mentioned or tweeted about her a million times.

Well he's fired Bharrara, Yates, and Comey very publicly so far. And that's just DOJ related folks. Think that's like one thing he's man enough to do.

It would be such an elite troll move if Trump Tweets something calling McCain a hero for making the vote.

I wonder if McCain's thought about the fact that Trump will want to give a bloviating eulogy at his funeral...

If you mean this in the context of "who to vote for for president" I would argue that the decision is almost meaningless.

Are you talking about something to do with his Russia statement? If I'm giving a statement about an ongoing investigation of which I am a target, I am absolutely reading that word for word, public speaking skills be damned.

This is literally what has always happened, so what are you talking about?

And I'm struggling for upsides that don't involve a mild case of narcissism. So it seems like a weird thing to do to me, but I'm aware it's reasonably common.

I don't have kids, but I have same first name as my father and his father. If I have a boy I may name him after myself.

It's a pretty normal thing to do in America.

Seems about right.

Josh Marshall wrote a nice article contrasting Ken Starr's 4 years of investigating Bill Clinton largely free of POTUS pushback, to Trump being openly hostile to Mueller's just-getting-off-the-ground work (he was appointed May 17, 2017). Conclusion: Trump is guilty, feels he and his family are above the law.

Immediately after he won the election, before all the revelations about Russia and whatever else began leaking, he was literally telling crowds that he didn't care about her anymore.

yeah he believes the "lock her up" rhetoric plays well with his base. little does he know it only played well because his base thought it would piss off liberals. well, hrc is nobody so locking her up doesn't piss off liberals anymore. he needs to campaign to lock up obama to really rile people up

He's bringing up Hillary not to get her locked up but to obscure the position if people calling for investigations. "They didn't lock up Hillary for her wrongdoings so why the hassle with me?!"

That's the difference between a normal US citizen and a brainwashed cultist. You think it's hilarious because Trump tells you which people are "good" or "bad" to him and you blindly follow.

But people who are outside the cult are free to take the side of America because THAT'S what this is all about. Democracy is bigger than one person, whether it's you, Sessions, or...wait for it...even Trump.
