Not devastating at all......even the DEMS know this and they will be clamoring for Pelosi to start a new Investigation once they gain control in January.

But first look for Pelosi to be the driving force behind the push to give President Trump FIVE BILLION for his wall. This will be a Veteran move on Pelosi’s part as she doesn’t want this being something that President Trump and the Republicans can run on in 2020......Pelosi is smart enough to not want this on her plate in January so look for the deal to be done by December 7th.

So....O'Rourke. He's going to run, right?

Thoughts?

evollove 11.28.2018 12:47 PM

He'll probably run. He'll get the youth and progressives excited. Not sure about the rest of the country.

Sherrod Brown should run, though. He'd win cuz he'd bring in midwest middle/working-class voters, which I doubt Beto could do. Brown just won against a Trumpian in Ohio, where no other Dem did well. He knows how to reach out.

"It's been over two years since Donald Trump was barely "elected" president thanks to Russia and our lovable-and-quirky Electoral College, and THANK GOD, the New York Times is still committed to introducing us to every goddamned fucking Trump supporter in America.

But unfortunately, the NYT (with reacharounds from Politico and every other piece of crap out there) seems to have run out of roadkill diners and Alabama hootenanny Jesus revival cousin swaps to use as backdrops for their Cletus safaris, so unfortunately it is just back in Manhattan. Specifically, NYT found the dumbest fucking people in Manhattan.

Meet Bill 'n' Bryan!"

DNC Blasts Pence For Multiple Lies In World AIDS Day Address, Failing To Mention LGBTQs For Second Year

From The New Yorker's October 2017 article "The Danger of President Pence":

Quote:

“Trump thinks Pence is great,” Bannon told me. But, according to a longtime associate, Trump also likes to “let Pence know who’s boss.” A staff member from Trump’s campaign recalls him mocking Pence’s religiosity. He said that, when people met with Trump after stopping by Pence’s office, Trump would ask them, “Did Mike make you pray?” Two sources also recalled Trump needling Pence about his views on abortion and homosexuality. During a meeting with a legal scholar, Trump belittled Pence’s determination to overturn Roe v. Wade. The legal scholar had said that, if the Supreme Court did so, many states would likely legalize abortion on their own. “You see?” Trump asked Pence. “You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway.” When the conversation turned to gay rights, Trump motioned toward Pence and joked, “Don’t ask that guy—he wants to hang them all!”

choc e-Claire 11.29.2018 06:53 PM

Pence probably offers significantly more danger than Trump, for one reason: he actually knows what he's doing.

Trump's managed to swing his way wildly through two years without cocking things up too badly for anyone. Pence would likely be able to get the things that he and his fellow conservatives want done.

I get what you are saying, but I bolded a part that I think needs clarification: Trump has caused so much damage. No doubt, Pence can do more.

Admittedly, my view may be coloured, thanks to my geographical and political locations. But when it comes to things that've happened, I haven't seen many that have really lasted.

The two that come to mind immediately are the bans on travel and trans military personnel. Both ideas are awful, but IIRC both have been shot down or stuck in limbo?

Probably just a lack of information on my part.

Yeah, I just think of "big picture" things: He lies so much, the office of POTUS is now a joke. He has set the bar so low. Sorry folks, but America Is Not Great Again. America is now laughed at. Worst of all, America is deeply divided, and Trump does everything he can to keep it that way. He is not the leader of America. He is the leader of His Base, which, unfortunately, seems to be well over 40% of voters. That's mind-boggling.

Oh, and Mueller will soon show us how Russia helped Trump to become POTUS, and then there will be a civil war.

Fuck it.....I've put Bytor on ignore, like I did with tesla. I know I can be criticized for not wanting to even consider what "the other side" feels, but I have absolutely zero patience for bullshit websites worship and monumentally uninformed accusations.

Fuck, where do we go from here? There are literally millions of teslas and Bytors, who consume this unsubstantiated, flat-earth crap.

I fear for humanity.

Skuj 11.30.2018 01:53 AM

From Bytor's "source":

In late 2004 I started The Gateway Pundit blog after the presidential election. At that time I had my twin brother Joe and my buddy Chris as regular readers. A lot has changed since then.

Today The Gateway Pundit is one of the top political websites. The Gateway Pundit has 15 million visits each month (Stat Counter – Google Analytics). It is consistently ranked as one of the top political blogs in the nation. TGP has been cited by Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, The Drudge Report, The Blaze, Mark Levin, FOX Nation and by several international news organizations.

Jim Hoft was awarded the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award in 2013. Jim Hoft received the Breitbart Award for Excellence in Online Journalism from the Americans for Prosperity Foundation in May 2015.

It's obvious that Skuj is all out of popcorn......probably for the best because eating too much popcorn can give you heartburn and lay heavy on your stomach......and it’s abundantly clear Skuj doesn’t have the stomach for the truth!

Also, the story I shared contained a link to all 17 pages of the lawsuit.

ABC and The Washington EXAMINER (thank you !@#$%!) along with several other websites reported the story......no uninformed
information here!!


Collusion Hoax = Mueller has conducted the first COLLUSION investigation in American history that has failed to successfully charge ANYONE with criminal activity related to COLLUSION!!!

Before you guys continue with this "civil war" talk, let's agree you're using the term metaphorically.

THIS is civil war:

Iraq

Feeling a little bummed that H.W. died last night. His library in College Station is so worth the trip......it contains a section of the Berlin Wall. I’m guessing I’ve been in the same room with H.W. 12 times.

Room = Houston Astrodome, Minute Maid Park, NRG Stadium, Kyle Field & Red Stone Golf Club

About six years ago my dad took our youngest (she was 10 at the time) to Hobby Center to see the touring production of, The Wizard Of Oz. Just before the show started, Mr. & Mrs. Bush entered and Hobby Center gave them a thunderous ovation.

RIP 41

Skuj 12.02.2018 02:57 AM

I used to think that Bush Sr was a meh POTUS. Now he seems positively fucking monumental. His political opponents have many genuinely good things to say about his decency and kindness. Bush Sr was able to organize a vast coalition against Saddam. Other countries were very willing to support.

There's an elephant in the room when having this kind of discussion.

Comey

Speaker Pelosi

Government shutdown

......it’s going to be an interesting week!

h8kurdt 12.03.2018 07:07 AM

33 people indicted, or given guilty pleas. That group is composed of five former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Seven of these people (including now all five former Trump aides) have pleaded guilty.

I'd consider that worth the money spent on unveiling the rampant corruption in the Trump government. And to go with that you know there's more to come.
