President Trump- The Implications

[guido911]

I wonder how the House would respond if Trump fired Mueller. Can't very well impeach him given they found no collusion themselves. Be great to watch the freak out.

Country and rule law has gone to pot, but the drama has been fun.  And it makes the liberals upset.  So it was worth it.

I assumed the republicans would open a new investigation 13 or 14 more times like Benghazi.  This won't happen?

I wouldn't worry too much, the House investigation will fire back up January 3rd when the new congress is seated. If Mueller hasn't already charged Trump by then.

The House cleared Trump of any collusion with Russia. We can now move on. Finally.

Exactly the same way they cleared Hillary of any wrongdoing.  A dozen times...   But you didn't believe that one did you?

Sources close to White House: Saccone was a "weak candidate" who decided to "run scared"

From CNN's Jim Acosta

The White House blame game begins.

After millions spent in PA-18 and the President's weekend rally in Pittsburgh, last night represented a clear warning shot to the Republican party.

Two sources close to White House are blaming state Rep. Rick Saccone for his performance in PA-18 and putting some distance between him and Trump.

The "GOP does not view (the race) as a referendum on Trump. Rather a weak candidate," one source said. "Candidates either run hard or run scared. It was obvious that Saccone decided to run scared," said another.

The White House is not officially commenting for now.

To be fair the Democrat vowed to vote against Pelosi, supports gun rights, supports Trump's tariffs, personally opposes abortion. It's not exactly as if he ran on a hard core Democrat platform. Or at least the platform that the leadership espouses every day (which in fairness seems just to be the exact opposite of whatever candidate annoys them that day).

Even this guy agrees...

However, he is for the social programs that democrats value.  SS, Medicare, etc...whereas rank/file Republicans want to continue to gut them (even though they're not entitlements; workers have been paying into these for as long as I can remember).

I think most people want reform of entitlement programs....   Just not the programs that they would benefit from.

So far there have been no improvements suggested by the extremist right that would make anything about the systems better.

The big problem is that people are paying into a system that benefits them - to the exclusion of all the 1%er's rich buddies - they haven't figured out a way to get their hands on it, so they say there is a problem.   Which of course is just another lie.

They can impeach for any reason they want.

Perhaps you would prefer to excuse and rationalize doing business with a sanctioned bank in Russia??  That's just another felony his business' - meaning him - have committed it appears.

And continuing in the grand Trump Family Tradition.  Young Donald is out on the prowl for a porn star like Daddy always gets...he has been having porn star envy for some time!!

This has gone on long enough, I don't really believe there is any substance to Mueller's investigation.  I would think an indictment on Drumpf would have come down by now if there were going to be one.
