   Any day he’s not warming the seat in the Oval Office is a great day for America!

   Republicans liked to view themselves as the party of fiscal restraint, a party that valued character and personal responsibility and that was strong against Russia but, Trump showed us all that the Koch PR is a fraud.

   Republicans redistribute national wealth to the richest 0.1%, promote Putin-esque government, are self serving, dishonest and morally bankrupt.

   Pete Buttigieg takes money from the those who scheme to keep power while Bernie raised $34 mil. last quarter without taking corporate money.

   The thieves plotting to steal public schools share the traits of Republicans, a group that includes DINO’s.

     Well said, Linda. Pete is young. I have hope for him, even though he does look something like the DINO fallback position from Status Quo Joe.

   Reagan, during his second term, suffered from advanced dementia. And so we had, during that time, a kind of corporate presidency, in which staffers basically covered for him and made the decisions. Trump, ofc, spends his days watching TV and tweeting, but he keeps his nose in enough to ensure that everything will be total chaos.

   This is not to say, of course, that IQ45 doesn’t have his good qualities, I mean, aside from being vile, cretinous, narcissistic, racist, ignorant, lying, criminal, treasonous, crude, boorish, stupid, childish, vain, clueless, thuggish, rude, inarticulate, sheltered, autocratic, sniveling, loud-mouthed, crowing, arrogant, insane, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, authoritarian, anti-democratic, swaggering, foolish, heedless, thin-skinned, slimy, pampered, fascist, low-life, cowardly, dissembling, semi-literate, tacky, crass, puffed-up, bombastic, demagogic, amoral, erratic, dangerous, uncultured, dishonest, blubbering, elitist, pandering, squeamish, disloyal, cruel, dim, hateful, hate-filled, indolent, crass, orange, clownish, moronic, idiotic, unread, unrefined, haughty, blundering, backward, benighted, thick, ugly, twisted, corrupt, shady, senseless, humorless, laughable, petty, and predatory.

     The history of the Trump misadministration, when it is written, will begin with the fact that he was impeached and be followed by footnotes to each of these adjectives.

     Imagine having the power and pulpit this man has and using it THIS badly.

     Ofc, he never wanted the office to begin with. He fully expected to lose and was shocked when he won. Melania was horrified, as was Pence’s wife, “Mother.” Trump ran as a PR stunt to help him secure the tower deal in Moscow–the one he was negotiating while he was telling Americans that he didn’t have any business in Russia.

     But now, he has learned (even flatworms are trainable) that a sitting President can’t be indicted and that a successor cannot pardon him for state crimes, and there is a long, long, long list of crimes for him to be indicted and tried for when he leaves office or is booted out, so the coming election is critical for him.

   “Oh Donnie Boy,” or “Orange Is the New Slack” (to the tune of the oh-so-appropriate “If I Only Had a Brain”)

   I just while away the hours
   A-tweetin’ in my bower,
   Consulting with TV.
   I don’t care for cogitating,
   I just sit here agitating
   While I’m watching Hannity.

   Think I’ll order some hamburders
   And tweet out some diverters
   From the latest breaking news
   ’bout the crimes I’ve perpetrated
   And the folks I’ve terminated
   For developing a clue.

   Oh, I-I-I can’t tell you why
   Burning fossil fuels warms the Earth,
   I care only for increasing my net worth.
   A man is measured . . . by his girth.

   I would not be just a nothin’,
   My head all full of stuffin’
   And neediness and pain.
   I wouldn’t be insane, erratic;
   I might be quite democratic
   If I only had a brain.

       Great parody, Bob (Yip) Shepherd. Trump lacks a brain, a heart and courage–a hollow excuse of a person–with nothing inherently good in his being.

       LOL. Excellent point! Having consulted innumerable Wizards, e.g., Cohn, Manafort, Ghouliani, Trumpty Dumpty still lacks all three.

       Yippie! (though Don the Con does bring out the snarly, yipping, attack dog in me, so I guess, alas, that the other online argot meaning applies as well)

   BTW, no one prevents a witness who can exonerate him from testifying.

   Donald Trump does not know what “work” means. He will never know what “work” means even if he ends up in prison after leaving the White House (to bad prison chain gangs are gone).

   Donald Trump has never “worked” a day in his life.

   Trump has even said that he deserves a combat medal for surviving his sexual exploits as he molested and/or paid for sex from endless women while he was officially and illegally Cadet Bone Spur … because he survived “sexual combat” (where he was the aggressor and the women were his victims) without getting an STD.

   The only time he really works is when he is sitting on his heated, gold-plated toilet seat.

   And that is because of his fast-food diet. He has to be seriously constipated. When someone says Trump is full of “poop” (the polite term not the one I wanted to use), that is not figurative language or an exaggeration.

   Trump probably had a good thirty-to-forty pounds of the “stuff” backed up and hard-packed inside his bowels.

   Here’s a great reminder of how things change (or don’t) when you go from a black man to an orange one in the White House:

   Trump’s been busy planning assassinations, and watching or playing golf/gold while Rome burns – as we live out our history and daily lives! We should know him by now. Might be real dangerous when he gets a little quiet on Twitter.

     Right now, Donald Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet but Moscow Mitch is his equal. Without Mitch McConnel’s support, Trump wouldn’t be as dangerous as he is. William Barr is 3rd on the list of the most dangerous people in the world.
