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

[TheClaws]

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.

Getting ready to "fill in" again when Low-Energy Daddy bails?

Why is Ivanka at the G-20 Summit?

Quelle surprise!

JUST IN: Trump will hold a "brief impromptu" meeting with Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit, despite his claim that he canceled the official meeting due to the ongoing Russia/Ukraine crisis.

There will be no press conference following or reporters allowed in the meeting.

As you say, quelle surprise.

That should be the point at which Russia - temporarily- releases the Ukrainians.

In the longer term? Well.............. Russia wants Ukraine and 45 doesn't care.

9/9 on the White House firing quiz here, too, lionheart.

'A biographer who detailed the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian mob explained that Russia’s financial links to the United States extend far beyond the president.

Craig Unger, author of House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia, wrote in a Reddit AMA that one of the biggest surprise in his book is how Trump has been compromised “for decades.”'

You intrigue me, lion.

Wonder if it's the 'stuff' I have suspicions about. 😃

9/9 here too. It was obviously aimed at amateurs

It's been a tough week, I would like to hear about "stuff"

.... Though much remains unknown about the scope of the investigation, Mueller is reportedly at work on preparing his final report and Washington is bracing for the potential of another round of indictments now that the midterm elections have passed.....

7 correct/9. My goodness, could I actually be more obsessed? Didn't think so.

70 hours with MrM's team. 70?

Richard Burr confirms that the Senate Intel Committee "has made referrals to the special prosecutor" for criminal prosecution.

"In a lot of cases, those might be tied to lying to us."

The referrals were bipartisan, I'm told--Warner signed off on them, too. Unclear when they were made or for whom.

Do you think anyone actually knows what Mueller's plans are cozie? He's certainly mastered the element of surprise as we saw yesterday 😊

I'm not sure, Gump. They're certainly adaptable - which I'd expect.

Day 2.
