So my husband and I were discussing the news about Trump today and the idea that’s floating around that he will probably resign in the next few weeks. (One could only hope for such a lovely New Years gift!). But then we lamented about having a President Pence. And then I brought up that Pence is probably implicated in all of this too. Which took us straight to...
President Pelosi! 😂😂😂. If Trump and Pence were both removed after the transition in January, it could totally happen! While she wouldn’t be my top pick for president, I know she would do a much much better job at managing this shit show of a government than a lot of people in DC at the moment.
A girl can dream, right?

Greg Sargent... “Schumer just called McConnell and rejected his "offer" of a $1 billion border slush fund, which was supposed to give Trump a way of saving face, I'm told.” Why should anyone want to help trump “save face” ? Especially when it comes to something as stupid as the wall? WHY THE FUCK ARE WE TRYING TO GIVE OUT 1 BILLION DOLLARS TO SAVE ANYONES FACE!?!?!?? A billion fuckin dollars to save face! Get the fuck out of here you fucking hypocritical assholes! Fiscal conservatives my ass!

Jake Tapper... ”Judge Sullivan: Does Flynn's conduct rise "to the level of treasonous activity?" Special counsel prosecutor Van Grack: we did not consider charging Flynn with treason. Sullivan: "Could he have been charged with treason?” Van Grack won't go there.” Why don’t they go there? maybe they’re saving that card for someone else. Someone more worthy of being charged with treason. 😈

I don’t think it works that way unless they’re both removed/leave at the same time without appointing another VP. And somehow someone else comes into play, pro tempore of Senate or something. I don’t remember the details anymore. *sigh* We can always dream. I haven’t heard any rumors of him resigning though, where are those circulating? I think his ego is too big to allow that. Also, I asked on the Flynn thread...but does someone have Trump’s phone today? Between Flynn & Trump’s charity I expected to wake from my nap to an amusing twitter meltdown.

I haven’t heard any rumors of him resigning though, where are those circulating? I think his ego is too big to allow that. what I heard discussed on the radio last night (MSNBC? Progressive radio? can't remember...) is that someone floated the idea of, "what if they gave Donald a deal; either the special counsel would go after Ivanka and Don Jr., or they'd all be acquitted if Trump just agreed to leave office." I think I actually YELLED at the radio when the guy suggested that as a possible option! I do NOT want that to happen- We've all had to live through two years of this shit-show circus, and we'll have to go through however-many years it will take to fix all the stuff he and the Republicans have messed up... and the Trumps bilked millions upon millions of money out of all their victims all these years... so I want them to GET WHAT'S COMING TO THEM, not agree to leave quietly and just 'go away' without being punished. The main thought behind it was that the prosecution threat to Ivanka and/or Don Jr. might be the thing that would get him to agree to leave, because he probably wouldn't hang his kids out to dry if they were being investigated. But I'm not so sure, myself.

Yeah I’m not so sure either. Long ago didn’t he say his line in the sand for Mueller’s investigation was his business? Maybe he arrogantly didn’t think his children were at risk.

He might to protect himself, but even that is super doubtful. He doesn’t think he has done anything wrong, even if he did acknowledge his wrong doings, he sure as hell isn’t going down to protect his kids.

Get the fuck out of here you fucking hypocritical assholes! Fiscal conservatives my ass! One billion ‘to save face’ BUT nothing for veterans needing benefits to deal with the effects of agent orange. Hmmmmmmmmm Here’s a thought let’s provide everything we can for our veterans since you couldn’t possibly ‘save face’ for Trump anyway- he himself proves himself to be an ass daily in Twitter it would take a time machine to ‘save face’ for Trump.

trump...
“The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall - but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it....”
”....It will be beautiful and, at the same time, give our Country the security that our citizens deserve. It will go up fast and save us BILLIONS of dollars a month once completed!”
So now the wall will be beautiful! No it won’t, there is nothing beautiful about the wall he is talking about.

Him resigning will show he did something wrong or made mistakes. He will never resign. Narcissistic people don't admit defeat. He will never admit he was wrong. Sociopaths don't admit they were wrong. Oh no, he will blame everyone else. I predict he will be removed by article 25 and that Pence will be impeached for conspiring with him. Pence knows too much..how could he not? I want to watch Trump being dragged out of the WH kicking and screaming all the way...that meltdown would be epic! 😂😂😂 I also want Jr, Eric and Ivanka following behind in cuffs. Then they can lead out Sanders and McConnell too. What a parade that would be!

”Just got back to Washington yesterday after visiting servicemembers, national security and intelligence professionals in Afghanistan. I’m grateful to them for their service and sacrifice at a time of year when it’s especially painful to be away from loved-ones.”
Sooo when is trump, the Commander in Chief, going to visit our troops in Afghanistan or Syria?

Now this is funny coming from this guy “ and my job is to fight for ALL citizens”. I mean it really is funny and so not true.

That's my dream.......... but I have to add a few trials where we all get to hear them admit what they've all done--that they've all run scams for all of their lives! If they slink away quickly, the American people will very quickly forget the reality, and buy into the newest schemes they'll quickly create!

Now this is funny coming from this guy “ and my job is to fight for ALL citizens”. I mean it really is funny and so not true. But not our veterans who need help all the way around. Senior citizen, low/moderate income who need medical, food, housing! "Bigoted @foxnews host @tuckercarlson has lost at least six advertisers in the five days since he disparaged immigrants by saying they’re making the U.S. “poor and dirtier.” " Not too dirty to wash dt's laundry and make his bed! And all the other things they did for our ancestors and do today! We all came from immigrants, including your people Tucker Carlson!

The GOP allows Trump, day in and day out, to subsume the interests of the country to his personal fortune, without so much as a peep.
They disgust me more than Trump does.

trump..
”In our Country, so much money has been poured down the drain, for so many years, but when it comes to Border Security and the Military, the Democrats fight to the death. We won on the Military, which is being completely rebuilt. One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!”
”Mexico is paying (indirectly) for the Wall through the new USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA! Far more money coming to the U.S. Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!”
So he is “rebuilding” the military so they can build the wall and trump keeps insisting Mexico is paying for the wall through the “far more money coming to the US” through USMCA. Problem with his little scenario is the money he is talking about comes to the government through taxes, and with the tax cut to corporations, less will come to the government through “the new USMCA”, a government that already has a huge deficit because of said tax cuts.
So he thinks with this windfall of new tax income from “the new USMCA” there will be money, from Mexico, to pay for the wall, the “rebuilt” military will be building, all the while ignoring the huge deficit that he doesn't care about because he will be gone when it explodes and it will then becomes someone else’s problem.
And that folks is how one #MAGA!

And that folks is how one #MAGA! What Trump calls "down the drain" is money used to help keep someone's aging dad clean and dignified in nursing care. Or helps keep a 3 year-old in preschool where the child can get some access to learning and decent food that the parents can't or won't provide. Or keeps a food inspector employed touring food processing facilities and cleaning operations. Or helps fund an education for the returning vet who wants to go into a trade or a profession. Yeah, all that fucking money "down the drain" when we could be using it to build a wall in to honor Trump's fantasies. Not like any money went "down the drain" in the billions given back to the disgustingly wealthy so they could buy another yacht in another port because their current yachts are, you know, a little old.

trump...
”We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.”
The rest of the story from the BBC..
”The US is preparing to withdraw all its troops from Syria, US media are quoting defence officials as saying.
One official told CNN the planning was for a "full" and "rapid" withdrawal. President Donald Trump tweeted that the Islamic State (IS) group - also known as ISIS - had been defeated in Syria and that was his "only reason for being there".
Some 2,000 troops have helped rid much of north-eastern Syria of IS, but pockets of fighters remain.
It had been thought US defence officials wanted to stay to ensure the militant group could not rebuild.
Just a few days ago, Brett McGurk, Mr Trump's special presidential envoy for the global coalition to defeat IS, said:"Nobody is saying that [IS fighters] are going to disappear. Nobody is that naive. So we want to stay on the ground and make sure that stability can be maintained in these areas".
But President Trump promised in March this year that US troops would leave Syria "very soon".
The timing of a withdrawal is unclear. The Pentagon has refused to comment.
US forces are currently supporting an alliance of Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters (the Syrian Democratic Forces) that is closing in on the last pocket of territory in south-eastern Syria controlled by IS, around the town of Hajin in the Middle Euphrates River Valley.
Earlier on Wednesday, the US-led multinational coalition against IS said in a statement that the operation, which began on 1 May, was continuing "to gain ground and remove terrorists from the battlefield".
So what is the real reason trump is pulling our troops out of Syria? Could Russia be part of the reason?

Again what is the real reason?

Poor little corrupt trump..
”The Trump Foundation has done great work and given away lots of money, both mine and others, to great charities over the years - with me taking NO fees, rent, salaries etc. Now, as usual, I am getting slammed by Cuomo and the Dems in a long running civil lawsuit started by.....”
“sleazebag AG Eric Schneiderman, who has since resigned over horrific women abuse, when I wanted to close the Foundation so as not to be in conflict with politics. Shady Eric was head of New Yorkers for Clinton, and refused to even look at the corrupt Clinton Foundation......”.
“In any event, it goes on and on & the new AG, who is now being replaced by yet another AG (who openly campaigned on a GET TRUMP agenda), does little else but rant, rave & politic against me. Will never be treated fairly by these people - a total double standard of “justice.”

let me get out my tiny violin for you, Donald Trump... they're sooooo meeeeaaaaaan. I heard this morning that the items purchased by the 'foundation' have to be sold... like two portraits of Donald Trump (one for $30,000, I believe), and a football autographed by Tim Tebow, purchased for $12,000. They said the current value of these three items is $900!!! HAHAHA!! This is a graphic representation of how the things that DT touches do NOT 'turn to gold' like he tries to get people to believe; they turn to $hit-show crap, instead.
