Trump's wins in three battleground rustbelt states were aided by the Russkies. Without Russian help, I doubt Trump can get reelected...if he survives the corruption charges. It's telling Trump has delayed election security funding. Regardless, shut down the Russkies and a conduct a fair election...and I doubt very much Trump can win.

Easier said: According to Facebook's recent head of security, any hope of avoiding the 2016 election problems in 2018 is already lost - especially since the President is in fact, actually, no-kidding, blocking all legislative and administrative attempts at reform.

tRump's wish list for our legal system:

"Trump tweets reflect his parallel legal universe:

March 30, 2017: "The failing nytimes has disgraced the media world. Gotten me wrong for two solid years. Change libel laws?"

June 4, 2018: "The appointment of the Special Counsel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL!"

Same day: "I have the absolute right to PARDON myself."

June 24, 2018: "We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came."

Specifically with regard to the Justice Department, he believes two things:
1. These people work for me. Why should I not expect personal loyalty from the people who work for me? And

2. This is how the world works, so everyone should quit pretending otherwise." Axios

With 35-40% of the electorate (well situated elecoral college-wise) blindly supporting him and most of 1 major political party sycophantically trudging along behind him for fear of getting primaried by this voter base, there's a decent chance we get at least 6 more years of Trump.

IMO this is overstated. Trump held an Electoral College advantage in 2016, yes. But his margins in swing states were extremely slim. It wouldn't have taken more than a 2% shift against him to generate a loss. No reason to think that can't happen next time, even if his "base" remains supportive.

And by "base", you are actually meaning to say idiot ostriches, like my step-brother-in-law Barry, and all other FoxNews brainswashees, right?

I think he actually wasn't drinking from the bottle, rather spitting something back into it?

He's always looking to deceive, and he's actually excellent at it, no?

Now that he can't play Stones or Aerosmith at his rallies, tRump's new theme song:




*stole song idea from Morning Joe

Dude on tv, morning joe, who was spiro Agnes's lawyer says it doesn't matter if trump pardons manifort, because the same violations that he was just found guilty of occurred in NY and the state can prosecute similarly and the federal pardon does nothing for state convictions.

Thus, pressure will be on manifort to flip, or spend the rest of his life in jail.

That made me happy. Gives me hope.

Yet, then again, I'm actually surprised that dead bodies of somebody's relative(s) haven't started popping up.
Like, a tragic accident. A heart attack. Anything to sew doubt in the mind of the flippers.
That is stronger than anything else, and it's a tool for Trump/Putin to use. Why I previously said Cohen et al wouldn't flip.

Yeah, I'm watching that extended hour long segment on YouTube replay right now.
They opened their show with it.

But the song I have had going thru my mind is Aerosmith's Love In An Elevator.
The part in the middle where instruments stop and Steven Tyler says
"Go-Ing Dooooowwwwwwnnnnnn".

At 3:12



Methinks Aerosmith would allow Never Trumpers to play that at their rallies.
I'd pay money for it.

Speaking of paying money for anti trump entertainment, where are the comedians during this time?

Someone from DC showed this to me last weekend. Definitely worth watching!

Oh, my! "There's a HORSE in the hospital!"

There's always at least 25% of the population who is like this. Probably a bit higher with Trump.

I wonder if God has been whispering "25th Amendment" into the ear of Mike "The Man from Glad" Pence? All it would take is one order from General Kelly to the palace guards.

I do think he is very close to trying to grab the miniature pink Pterodactylus out of the air he sees flying around him.

President tRump met with one of the leading promoters of the "QAnon" conspiracy theory in the Oval Office on Thursday.

Could be, but it is the second photo I have seen in my life that looks like a Welcoming Committee at an event I don't think you want to go into. The first such photo:

Yeah well...it ain't no sideshow bub.

Bill Maher:
"If they keep locking up Republicans there won't be anyone left to lock up Hillary."

"If they keep locking up White Republicans White NFL players are going to start taking a knee."

These are scary people, and it ain't even close to Halloween yet. Wow!

That's before Trump's DOJ, with Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General, arrests the Democratic candidate for pedophilia.

The 2018 election is the most important election in our lifetime.

The payment to Stephanie Clifford a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
James Comey's firing
Trump's firing of U.S. attorneys

Scoop: the Republicans Secretly Study Their Upcoming Hell

I just read that...amazing list really. Da shtt hit the fan and now the GOP will tell us it's fake shtt and a fake fan...but that list sure looks real.

Picture of Trump glowering at a small child becomes a meme

"The U.S. will be paying up to $4.7 billion to help farmers dealing with trade war pains, including $3.6 billion is earmarked for soybean farmers." Axios

W.T.F. ...an intervention? The S.S. Orange Puke Small Hands is taking on water.

"TRUMP IS NUTS. THIS TIME REALLY FEELS DIFFERENT": TRUMP REJECTS "WAR COUNCIL" INTERVENTION, GOES IT ALONE

Quote:

With his closest allies defecting, the president increasingly trusts only his instincts. He "got joy" from stripping former C.I.A. director John Brennan's security clearance. And after betrayals by Allen Weisselberg and David Pecker, a former White House official says, Trump "spent the weekend calling people and screaming."

What if Trump Did Actually Shoot Someone on Fifth Avenue? By Thomas F'ing Friedman

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/28/opinion/trump-midterms-shoot-fifth-avenue.html

tRump to Evangelical ministers:
"If Republicans lose Congress, "they will end everything immediately", the president said, seemingly referring to Congressional Democrats.
He went on: "They will overturn everything that we've done and they'll do it quickly and violently. And violently. There's violence. When you look at antifa, and you look at some of these groups, these are violent people." The Guardian
