"During an interview with Bob Woodward and Bob Costa in April 2016, candidate Donald Trump said when asked if he needed to tame the rage in the Republican Party:
"Yes, yes, but I bring that out in people. I do. I'm not saying that's an asset or a liability, but I do bring that out. ...
I bring rage out. I do bring rage out. I always have." Axios

You are more optimistic than me, I think democrats need to realize Trump isn't done until he is done, and he will continue to fight forever. No more proclamations of this event being the beginning of the end for him, or that event being the beginning of the end and his rule is now on an inevitable path to being impeached or resigning or whatever. Trump's reign will end when the next president is sworn in, not sooner, and democrats need to plan accordingly.Another Bear said:
Full fascism starts NOW and the circus continues but it looks like in the center ring will be Trump imploding on himself under the new pressure of Mueller, firing Sessions, Russkies and all that fun stuff.

The thing about this administration: there are so many evil actors that it's incredibly difficult to pick the most evil one. SHS will never be as evil as Trump because she doesn't have the force multiplier of presidential power, but this lady is the most evil one who is not president.golden sloth said:Scary times indeed, the House simply HAS to play hardball and has to play dirty for the next two years.BearChemist said:

I honestly think Trump can be pushed to the edge and shoved over by pressure. Remember the past two years he's had both houses and the SC on his side and it was still chaos and crazy temper tantrums, often at his own people. The WH is not well run. Now that the Dems have the house, they have some leverage, enough to squeeze him a bit. Add in Mueller and there's soemthing there. I agree no proclamations, so maybe this is simply a turn in the story.golden sloth said:You are more optimistic than me, I think democrats need to realize Trump isn't done until he is done, and he will continue to fight forever.

And to bring this back to football (who'd of thunk), this will be like Cal knocking off SC. I will believe it once the clock hits all zeros in the fourth and Cal has the lead, not a moment sooner.
This report is in the same vein as the IPCC's, a lot more political than scientific, it looks like it's been written by 27 year old activists, not serious scientists. It starts from the premise that the climate models, which have been proven to be wildly alarmist, will materialize.bearister said:
"Trump was shown a copy of the National Climate Assessment, a federally mandated report the Trump administration released without fanfare, or interference, last November. He dismissed it and said he didn't read it.
"Is there climate change? Yeah. Will it go back like this, I mean will it change back? Probably," Trump said, making an ocean wave motion with his hand.
Reality check: The report is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment published by the entire federal government, from NASA to the Environmental Protection Agency. It concludes that "there is no convincing alternative explanation" for the global warming we've observed, other than human causes.
Why it matters: These comments, the first on this report, are among the most extreme he's made dismissing a scientific issue nearly all other world leaders take seriously." Axios

With her re-election this week, California Rep. Maxine Waters is set to lead the House Financial Services Committee when the next session of Congress begins in January, and that is potentially bad news for President Donald Trump.
As head of the financial services committee, which oversees the American banking system and its regulators, Waters would have the power to subpoena Trump's personal tax returns and bring in bank executives for investigations.
Quote:
Waters said Wednesday that she plans to investigate Deutsche Bank AG (DB, -1.98%), which has loaned money to Trump, calling the Frankfurt-based lender "one of the biggest money laundering banks in the world." She also wants to meet with Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan and investigate payday lenders.
Waters, a 13-term member of Congress and the ranking Democrat on the committee, has long been a thorn in Trump's side, this summer encouraging her supporters to harass his cabinet members. If appointed, she would be both the first woman and first African-American to head the House Financial Services Committee.

I bet the Treasury Secretary simply doesn't comply with the request for Trump's tax returns, and the executive branch does nothing to force compliance with the demand. Perhaps it goes to the Supreme Court, who then rule in the President's favor.

All I can say now that the Dems have taken the house...conservative of all stripes are reacting like *****s already and things haven't even gotten started. If the responses even here are an indication...the conservative are going to self-destruct with rage.
Nearly two years of unchecked Trump and now the Dems have a reasonably big stick and they're going to nail the GOP, Nazis and Wing nuts with it...then they might roll them over and shove it were it's doesn't shine.
Nope, it will not be pretty but it will be PAINFUL AF. You saw how Kavanaugh cried like a big wussie...that's nothing. No one whines harder than a criminal who is caught. Right now there's no bigger criminal and criminal enterprise than the POTUS and GOP.
Prepare for a long drawn out, grind it out, butt kicking wing nuts. It's gonna hurt and they're going to be aiming at the nuts. And then Trump will resign...likely after Mueller drops the hammer.
This will be absolutely horrible for the country...but we're gonna get our money's worth on the reality TV front.
To the conservative ding bats...prepare for IDIOCRACY!!! (OW MY NUTS!)
Excellent read on Mueller. You WANT this guy in your corner. Conversely, if he's on the other side...perhaps to pee your pants or drink if you're a Russkie assetbearister said:golden sloth said:

Mueller is first string, baby, he already gots dem. I am putting my lot in with Mueller in a game of legal chess vs tRump and Whitaker. tRump is a senile old man and Whitaker's bulbous melon is the result of swelling not brain crowding.
