It comes down to 'when', I suspect.

lionheart · 30/05/2017 14:43

It was Lewji.

Talking of artists and resistance, there is this pathetic effort:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The U.S. Senate should switch to 51 votes, immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy. Dems would do it, no doubt!

Trump doesn't seem to understand the legislative process—Republicans were already using simple majorities for both health care and tax cuts.

Lweji · 30/05/2017 15:48

I don't think people have to ask what Democrats (or Republicans) would or not do.
They can look at what they've done.
Democrats have had House majorities before. What have they done?

cozietoesie · 30/05/2017 15:54

The times are different, Lweji.

Lweji · 30/05/2017 15:57

As in Republicans weren't an obstructive force before? :)

Trump hates anonymous "sources." But he just re-tweeted a Fox News story, with no byline and one anonymous source, that defends Kushner.

Lweji · 30/05/2017 16:09

Yes, at least the anonymous sources could give a fake name.

John Miller sounds like a good one.

Or John Barron (at least good enough to use on your own son too).

If true, that's quite concerning, Pain. Guess what it just might be?

Fairly damning article by a WaPo conservative contributor.

It does seem like Mueller is v focused.

Comments that the bots new Trump followers will support the WH War room.

@WndHrseStrategy @JJohnsonLaw Expect the new "communications strategy" from "war room" to block critics, create millions of fake acts, & step up propaganda machine

From twitter.com/th3j35t3r/status/869550021905190913 half of Trump's followers are bots

For another take on this whole damn Trump mess.

cozietoesie · 30/05/2017 17:29

That's a powerful piece. Unfortunately, she rather glosses over what happens to the rest of us in the process.

Gumpendorf · 30/05/2017 17:36

Russia net widens to include Trump's lawyer - the one mentioned in the Steele dossier.

What are you concerned about, cozie?

Lweji · 30/05/2017 17:36

No. Jerry Springer should run for the Senate.
Then he could be in charge of the impeachment hearings. I'd love to see Trump confronted with his accusers. Springer would be ideal to deal with the inevitable punch up.
