The Dufus said he was draining the swamp. He's doing a great job on repub critters.

Dems are suing ala the Watergate years.

https://gizmodo.com/democrats-sue-tr...ion-1825421936

I expect the investigation wasn't yielding the right results, the demorats are now suing because they lost the elections

Clete yup . both Mueller and Rosenstein have told Trump he's not a target of investigation. Rudy joined Trumps legal team this week . He will focus on the Mueller investigation and not this side bar issue of Trump's NY lawyer Michael Cohen.

The Watergate lawsuit netted the Dems some cash .Nixon settled with them as he was walking out the White House door. This is different . When entering the civil law ring ,you are entering Trump's domain . And the laws of discovery are way different . Look out what you wish for . Every DemRat can be deposed under oath ..... Their servers searched(of course they have had a year to smash cell phones and bleach-bit the servers ) . Interesting thing is that it doesn't claim that the hacking of the DNC and Evita's illegal email server did not cost them the election. Instead it argues that the Dems lost fund raising opportunities. The first thing I would demand of them is proof of hacking . Just because WikiLeaks released transcripts does not mean they were hacked . Podesta was very careless with the DNC server ;and Evita in Comey's own words was careless.

This is all a half court jump shot trying to keep the story alive into the mid-terms.

Well, of course, if they can't campaign against Trump then they will have to get real on some other issues, They could have had a better health system by now, they could have dealt with DACA. A campaign on holding lost lines won't carry far, and lowering the voting age can only "help" them in the future, not now. Although gun reform might be needed, a campaign based on that can only bring them misery, but no real leadership has emerged.

Now if Trump just learns to shut up and not shoot the Republicants in the foot he might retain the support he needs to move forward

Not hard keeping things riled up against a lying, cheating, bully Dufus as the law closes in on him after rounding up his sycophant crew. Even Rudy, his new lawyer is under investigation. As the rats abandon the repub ship, some for bigger things, and the Speaker of the House calls it quits, the Twitter fool keeps digging his own demise when his words and actions don't match. Under repubs red states that support Trump has been squeezing local budgets and cutting taxes, and teachers are up in arms about low pay and no school books. It's not just about the Dufus and his policies, but their local leaders too. So keep hollering about Hillary while the voting public is sick of this TV drama, and feckless incompetent administration.

I suppose when Kim gets done playing him like Putin does Mueller, or the PEOPLE, will finish him off. Whichever comes first.

Be careful what you wish for

I wish I were Rich instead of HANDSOME, and this bloviated egotistical narcissistic occupier of the Oval Office get's stripped of his veneer of supremacy, and exposed for the lying, cheating, conman bully that he is. A republican loss of the house of representatives this fall would surely be a great start.

Wishful thinking

There seems to be a lot of people who may turnout for dems and a sitting president's party typically loses the house to the opposition party. It's more than just wishful thinking.

Tradition! Otherwise known as the protest vote

I prefer RESISTANCE to the governing party, it's a more apt and accurate description of the events of the last year or so.

You could also call it disillusionment or just political fatigue

It doesn't matter what you call it, or why! All that matters is progress is made to get the job done. Under the structures of our government and society November is when we see the next step. That's when the people will have their say. All the wishful thinking and b1tching and disillusionment stops with the reality of law. I've survived many Nogheads before, and will survive the ones now, and yet to come. Obviously I am not alone in this and that's just reality, in spite of the chaos The Dufus reeks.

You take a dim view of our ability to rise to the occasion Clete. That doesn't matter either.

Of course nothing I say matters, I just observe from afar, Tal

I can hear your snickers from here, so is there no sympathy for the likes of people like me who get a close up of this circus of corruption on a daily basis? I don't think I have ever seen this level of dysfunction on so many levels, and just when you think it can't get worse, The Dufus finds a way. The sight of the French president and our president slobbering over each other was a disgusting display even though the stakes are very real for us all as far as Middle East policy and trade goes.

Well, you scored the French President and we scored the French PM, much said about the important part Australia played in WWI to break the Germans. I think you should forget the middle east, all they want are your arms and aid, and you can get the oil much closer to home.

I feel sorry for your dysfunctional economy as I gaze upon our beautiful autumn days, it even rained last week, but this is what happens when you let the corporations rule. Our government is about to announce tax cuts on two levels, which is an extraordinary event. Nice to watch a Treasurer eating humble pie and he is doing it without benefit of Turncoat stealing the limelight

Our economy is not dysfunctional, it's as robust and dynamic as any in the world bar none. It's the greedy grubbers who seek to exploit it that's the problem, aided and abetted by this dysfunctional government administration headed by a complete idiot and his sycophants and the right wing loonies he has enthralled with his BS. Order will be restored once the disorderly are dispatched. That may take some time and that includes the ME.

I suppose the pomp and ceremony of the ruling heads has to be tolerated and Macron got a standing ovation for his speech to the congress but that doesn't diminish the challenges in front of us both in the populations of individual countries and on the perceptions of the world stage. The ME is but a part of that picture.

If it wasn't dysfunctional why did America need to be made great again? I expect you are in transition in a post industrial age just as we were. Because we were farther down the socialist ladder industries were given assistance to adjust and abandon non competitive industries like steel, clothing, dairy even automotive and power and so no rust belt, no abandoned suburbs and to embrace others. There is pain, but we move on not sit on our duff and hold a pity party

I agree we are in a transition between the old industrial jobs and the new service economy. Thank you technology that made the use of many humans to do a job that is handled by robots or automation, or new technical advances. The campaign of The Dufus made a catchy slogan, but had no basis in reality. In truth we have grown jobs in other sectors since the transition began way back in the 70's. More about the Dufus,

Donald Trump criticized a particular group of people who invoked that right: former staff members of Hillary Clinton called on to testify about her setting up a private email server..So there are five of them taking the Fifth Amendment, like you see on the mob, right?” he said at another rally in Iowa, though it was three former Clinton staff members who pleaded the Fifth. “The mob takes the Fifth Amendment. If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
