Democrats win the House, and he’s already fired Sessions: Trump thread 87

We start this new thread on a brighter note: the mid-terms were a win for the Democrats, securing the House of Representatives and further seats in the Senate. This means more scrutiny for POTUS and the GOP, and bargaining power.

He’s still a feckless, vain bully, oddly admired by some varieties of Christians - enjoy the cartoon by Mike Luckovich.

chickenFlowers sound advice to yourself, take up a soothing hobby to calm and break away from it. Your energies can always be put to great use further down the line. Put bubba very much in front for a while, and yourself. Take care

Hello chicken and yes take a step back whenever you feel the need.

'Florida judge says there's no evidence of fraud in Broward, denies Scott's request to impound equipment, tells everyone to tone down the rhetoric bc the nation is watching.'

Does the judge know who the most prominent offender is?

placemarking, with a glum heart... I do read (not all the links) and watch and learn... USA people you do NOT deserve this!

What's more disrespectful, @VP? Kneeling during the anthem to protest injustice, or casting the tie-breaking vote to strip veterans of their right to hold banks accountable? #VeteransDay18

chicken take it from me, don't try to engage die-hard Scrotus fanatics. There is really no point. They're either too ignorant, too stubborn, or too brainwashed to listen to the truth. You may as well try to explain theoretical physics to a tantrumming 2 year old.

The best thing you can do it get involved in your own country's politics. Educate yourself on issues and work for candidates and policies you believe in. You can't do anything about what's going on here, but you can make sure it doesn't happen in the UK. And believe it or not, we here get strength and encouragement from seeing people fighting for decency and equality in their own Countries. We here may have gotten off track for now, but it helps us to know that we can and will get back to normal eventually.

BREAKING: Roger Stone pal Jerome Corsi tells my colleague
@annaschecter
that Mueller's investigators informed Corsi about a week ago he will be indicted for perjury. "When they have your emails and phone records...they're very good at the perjury trap," he says.

Corsi is one of the original birthers, former Info Wars DC bureau chief, and has often referred to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a “shakedown artist.”

TheNorthWestPawsage · 12/11/2018 22:05

Twitter seems to think that Michael Cohen turning up in D.C. with an attorney in tow and 8 of Mueller's peeps working on a Fed holiday mean something's going down soon... Oh please please let it be Don Jr!

Why not call the last Presidential election to the Democrats, then? Wink

Trump says 'honest' election no longer possible in Florida, demands election be called for Republicans

Not even call for a new election, the fucker.

Not really breaking as it was several hours ago but means the Dems have flipped Jeff Flake's old seat. Grin
