    He's tired of being president. All the fun is gone. He wants to make sure he won't be reelected.

    he is ignoring the 1st rule . When your opponent is digging a hole for themselves don't do anything to get in their way. Instead he appears to be taking the shovel and shouting "my hole ! "

    Like everything else, if Trump doesn't do it, think of it, it cannot be allowed, so good decision or bad decision, it has to be made in Trumpland by Emperor Trump. I thought you knew that. Maybe he will make one more crossing of the NK border and stay there with that other moron dictator

    If you could impeach a pres for saying something stupid, we wouldn't have any presidents last more than a year.

    Saying stupid stuff is just the icing on the cake. The last straw to an endless record of bad behavior, and obstruction.

    Not to mention the collusion and obstruction that Mueller and his team of liberal democrats declined to charge him with.

    You might as well face it. There is no solid case against Trump other than that of having a big mouth.

    "But publicly available voter registration information shows that 13 of the 17 members of Mueller's team have previously registered as Democrats, while four had no affiliation or their affiliation could not be found."

    Is that a joke?

    It is my contention that when you put together a team that is supposed to be neutral, then maybe you should actually go to a little trouble to be sure it really is.

    If the whole team had been made up of enthusiastic Trump supporters, can you really say that you would consider that to be unimportant?

    I haven't said they have. In fact, I think they did a pretty good job which is kind of the whole point. A bunch of liberal democrats investigated the pres and declined to bring charges against him. That says a lot.

    That's just by DOJ policy, and has been spelled out in great detail in the report. So to say declining to bring charges against the dufus is inaccurate. They were pointedly prohibited from such action. A far cry from he didn't do it.

    Jl knows that perfectly well, WG, but he has a tendency to skew the truth when it serves him. That kind of post by jl makes him less and less credible - hanging himself by his own petard.

    The report said, "The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred." In other words, the evidence obtained was not sufficient to demonstrate he was innocent, which of course is ridiculous since their job is to determine guilt, not innocence. That was in regard to the evidence, not to DOJ policies.

    Pelosi/Hoyer say Hse could vote as early as Tuesday on a resolution regarding President Trump’s comments regarding the squad. However, the text of the resolution isn’t available. And, it is against House Rules to criticize the President on the floor.
    But Dems could weaponize the resolution against Republicans. If written artfully, Dems put GOP members in a tough spot, conceivably daring them to vote against the resolution. If they vote for the resolution, they are breaking w/Trump. If they vote no, Dems will say they are defending Trumps "racist " comments .

    Whose fault is that? I guess there is not enough of a market to support conservatives views. There certainly is in Texas, and I bet Ms. also.

    Ben Shapiro's very good tweet about the four contentious congresswomen.

    "I mean, two of these people are open anti-Semites, another has labeled detention centers concentration camps, and the fourth said over the weekend that minorities who disagree with her are sell-outs."

    Not exactly heroes of the democrat party.

    Not sure of the accuracy of the tweet at all but clearly the right is making 4 out of 230 or so dems the face of the party to hurl insults at and disparage. Political racial profiling and a clear dog whistle to racists and haters, but the only way to stir up a base and the only way the dufus get re elected.

    The media is doing this. Repubs love it, but it's the media who is putting them forward.

    What have they said lately since being corrected by the other dems? Naw the media ain't the one calling them out, it's the dufus and his sycophants and fans who have jumped on the band wagon. Wonder how high you were told to jump? Oh you didn't have to be told? You just held your nose and jumped? Now don't lie to me, we see you holding your nose AND jumping.

    No one has told me to do anything, and certainly not Trump. I really pay very little attention to his public statements and tweets since they are so often disappointing. But if you want me to consider voting dem, you will have to nominate someone a lot better than the last loser you put forward. I believed then, and still do, that she was the worst presidential candidate of my lifetime. But she has great hope since Harris and Warren are possibilities.

    Hi, talaniman. Thanks for the warm greeting. Of course, I haven't heard it from God but I believe that he would say it because he wants we be like a big family and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, or what color you are. It is just my opinion so don't be strict with me.
