The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5319 - Politics and Economics

I was just reminded by an article that Sen. Amy Klobuchar said in her speech at the DNC in 2016 that Clinton wanted a world where "girls are not captured and sold, but are fearless and bold!". The memory of that line is now making me want to chew my own face off.

govt shutdown is an interesting one for the nuttiest of the derpers as they've been championing govt shutdowns as good things. but now drumpf is trying to label it the 'democrat shutdown'

these are the same ppl that lost their minds about the devastating impact of quantitative easing (increasing money supply) and are now losing their minds about the devastating impact of quantitative tightening (decreasing it), so i'm guessing they now all agree that govt shutdowns are bad

Not female genital mutilation, but increased leadership participation!

Ok I think the wheels are falling off this riff.

I had no idea there was a wall already in so many places,like what the hell is this ****?
Wall in the desert and wild?
American are worse than I thought and it was already pretty bad

Canada needs the wall more than the US. We can't handle the influx of asylum seekers crossing into Canada fleeing the US. Last year we had to convert the Olympic stadium into a shelter because there was no place left to house them.

This morning I phoned my friend, the former Republican member of Congress.

ME: So, what are you hearing?

HE: Trump is in deep sh*t.

ME: Tell me more.

HE: When it looked like he was backing down on the wall, Rush and the crazies on Fox went ballistic. So he has to do the shutdown to keep the base happy. They’re his insurance policy. They stand between him and impeachment.

ME: Impeachment? No chance. Senate Republicans would never go along.

HE (laughing): Don’t be so sure. Corporate and Wall Street are up in arms. Trade war was bad enough. Now, you’ve got Mattis resigning in protest. Trump pulling out of Syria, giving Putin a huge win. This dumbass shutdown. The stock market in free-fall. The economy heading for recession.

ME: But the base loves him.

HE: Yeah, but the base doesn’t pay the bills.

ME: You mean …

HE: Follow the money, friend.

ME: The GOP’s backers have had enough?

HE: They wanted Pence all along.

ME: So …

HE: So they’ll wait until Mueller’s report, which will skewer Trump. Pelosi will wait, too. Then after the Mueller bombshell, she’ll get 20, 30, maybe even 40 Republicans to join in an impeachment resolution.

ME: And then?

HE: Senate Republicans hope that’ll be enough – that Trump will pull a Nixon.

ME: So you think he’ll resign?

HE (laughing): No chance. He’s fu*king out of his mind. He’ll rile up his base into a fever. Rallies around the country. Tweet storms. Hannity. Oh, it’s gonna be ugly. He’ll convince himself he’ll survive.

ME: And then?

HE: That’s when Senate Republicans pull the trigger.

ME: Really? Two-thirds of the Senate?

HE: Do the math. 47 Dems will be on board, so you need 19 Republicans. I can name almost that many who are already there. Won’t be hard to find the votes.

ME: But it will take months. And the country will be put through a ringer.

HE: I know. That’s the worst part.

ME: I mean, we could have civil war.

HE: Hell, no. That’s what he wants, but no chance. His approvals will be in the cellar. America will be glad to get rid of him.

ME: I hope you’re right.

HE: He’s a dangerous menace. He’ll be gone. And then he’ll be indicted, and Pence will pardon him. But the state investigations may put him in the clinker. Good riddance.

It's not news in the US, because nothing that happens outside the US is news unless it is a terrorist attack.

This.

Anyone proposing this should have to put forth a list of even 10 GOP senators that might do this. I will then laugh at said list.

I almost wouldn't put it past the DNC to agree to endorse them and run no opposing candidate in exchange.

Robert Reich is a left wing grifter. Once you realize that, idiotic stories like that make sense.
