The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5201 - Politics and Economics

Has anyone else developed some sort of severe aversion to listening to Trump speak? I'm not kidding that with me when he comes on TV and is on for more than about 3 seconds I automatically rise as if to leave the room. There was a clip on MSNBC an hour ago or so with him talking up the gains in the stock market over and over, and next thing I know I'm in the next room for no apparent reason. I think this started a while back, maybe two months ago. I really have to force myself to listen to him. My deep, visceral hatred for that man is not normal.

This thread is the only time I listen to Trump ever. I have him blocked on Twitter and I don't watch TV other than sports. I can't even imagine watching FOX for 15 minutes.

"Republicans won the Senate 53-47"

Gee whiz, it's almost as if he thinks all 100 Senate seats were contested during the midterms.

I believe boarder walls were banned by the 3rd amendment.

Dems actually won 24-11 in the 35 seats up for grabs this election

(Of course 26/35 were already dem seats, but it’s still more accurate than saying r won 53-47)

Watching Maddow on DVR after having crashed following a full day mediation in LA. Apparently This American Life, the No. 1 ranked podcast and top NPR show, did a podcast on the NC election fraud guy two years ago. Headexpload.gif

There's a kinda interesting 30 for 30 podcast from the most recent season about filming the 2003? ME won by Moneymaker. Theme is how they were trying to set up this kind of pros vs Joe's narrative but unknowns we're winning.

Meant pinko, was a typoe.

I physically cannot watch an actual Trump speech. If it's significant I cringe read a transcript.

haha it's funny to me because you know mason and david both enjoy a super nice standard of living- both of them are set and making money into perpetuity for doing nothing, like, they're good.

but lol, we all know how much republicans love the almighty dollar (because it is their single biggest motivator and metric for personal validation in life), and it must make them soooooo mad that they missed out on that real yacht money. like we already know they blame dems/obama, so it stands to reason that they probably still lose sleep at night over it.

it makes me chuckle

I probably get in about 2 hours of MSNBC a day. If you're a junkie for this disaster of a presidency then Maddow and Lawrence are pretty key. They are both very sharp and near merciless.

"In charge of 'legal'"? I need to go to sleep. Please, Mr. President Donald J. Trump do me a favor and have a massive stroke today.

I'm sure his charity had a lawyer in charge of “legal” and a few in charge of “illegal”.
