Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

Gwan so

it was mostly on Dems for "going high"

this was not the reason Hillary lost. if anything her campaign spent too much time pointing out that her opponent was a piece of shit.

You completely missed my point but that's understandable

I'm not talking about the campaign at all. I'm talking about the administration.

He's at 82% approval or whatever, but whenever they dive deep there always seems to be only about 30% diehard Trump supporters. So within that 80% there has to be a range of approval, and "approval" in the abstract may not be the same thing as blind support.

Yeah I have to think that there's a sizable contingent of "I don't love Trump all that much, but if I'm being asked a question by the Washington Post, Gallup, or ABC my answer is going to be 90% Fuck You."

Or as in the Nichols tweet Ned posted, "vengeance voters don't know enough about those norms to want to destroy them. They just want to upset people they hate."

the real question is "would you *vote* for the motherfucker in 2020?"

Suggested ELECTION2020 thread title.

I guess since he won't have actually learned or accomplished anything in four years, people may still be persuaded to vote for him on the basis of his not being an experienced politician.

Dear god, assuming he actually retains his office long enough to get to that point, I'm suddenly despairing at the likely tenor of the ads for his reelection campaign.

if the Dems manage to take the House in 2018, impeachment proceedings will begin and it becomes pretty hard to predict what happens next in terms of the 2020 election. Team Trump will of course circle the wagons and amp up the witch hunt narrative as much as possible, but if GOP candidates in general smell blood in the water there may be schisms to exploit. Who knows, really.

pretty big if there

things can change, but i don't see it happening

McCain's recovery could take awhile, doctors say

How convenient.

take all the time you need, John. Really, do not hurry back

The original maverick..... he finally came through

I've said it in other ways but for a pure numbers game, nothing happens to him politically until or unless the approval hits 25-28%.

— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) July 16, 2017

that's what I've been saying all along, and honestly I think he could stoop that low by the end of the year. the problem is....nothing's really happened yet. his ineffectiveness could be his savior.

the stock market wont be trading at an all time high for the next three years. something very bad is going to happen (again).

McSweenies: How to talk to your teen about colluding with Russia, by Tom Russell

Even the best-behaved teen is likely to encounter a situation where he or she is tempted to collude with Russia. Unfortunately for parents, a teen’s natural tendency to test the limits of independence can often manifest itself in his or her exchanging sensitive information with Russian emissaries for material or other rewards. If not constructively addressed during adolescence, colluding with Russia can have much more serious consequences in adulthood.

Here are a few tips for engaging in a healthy conversation with your teen about the hazards of colluding with Russia:

what election interference? the american president's russian creditors are starting to get testy : (

The country houses outside New York and Washington must be returned unconditionally after they were taken over by the U.S. “absolutely in breach of international law,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call Monday. “We continue to hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate political wisdom and political will” to resolve the issue at talks in Washington on Monday between U.S. Undersecretary of State Thomas Shannon and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, he said.

http://time.com/4861843/chris-christie-donald-trump-jr-russia-meeting/

Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Monday addressed Donald Trump Jr.'s 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney, saying it's "probably against the law" to get opposition research for his father's presidential campaign from a foreign country.

But Christie, a friend and adviser to President Donald Trump, also said that it's too early be "jumping to conclusions" and that there's no evidence the campaign obtained such research.

did trump not know or not care that his campaign manager was a bought and paid for russian operative?

He's probably irked that it was paid for

"Whoa whoa this guy's double dipping?"

Ohhhhhhhh shit, I didn't realize that was an actual quote!!!

But in answer to your question, Mr. President: yes, you are a baby, as your behavior has demonstrated more times than anyone could possibly count. You are most certainly a fucking baby.

It's dead, Jim.

there might have been worse presidents - we'll see, when it's all over - but he's the biggest fucking joke that never was elected.

Republicans are traitors who strive daily to sabotage the country I swore to defend and every last one of them deserves to be boiled in acid - but since that wouldn't leave a tangible record of their departure from the rolls, I'll settle for whatever the majority decides. That should be justice enough, knowing that all those people who aren't white, who don't scream their "faith" in Jesus, who aren't attracted to the opposite sex, that those people got to decide their fate - even if it is as gentle as being drowned in pig piss.

If Trump were smart, he would get right on healthcare reform.

What an amazing botch this has been. Just ridiculous.

Meantime, more from that book I mentioned.

The christie daily mail story that is

Privately, several House mbrs and Sns told me for weeks they didn't really want to pass it. Like groom w/ cold feet, after long engagement.

Yeah, was just about to link Costa. Whole series of tweets is good.

Oh wow didnt see that thing about the health care bill. Wonderful news.

Does this mean they're not missing summer vacation after all? Or are they staying in from recess to work on other shit? I mean, they've been talking about tax reform for as long as repeal and replace, but there is no way they're gearing up for another huge fight so soon, right? Especially since debt ceiling is more pressing? And even on that must-do front, things could and likely will be messy:

One former Treasury official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive agency deliberations, said officials are now “brushing up on options in the ‘crazy drawer.’

Debt ceiling BS is what really gives Cruz and his buds their chubbies.

They definitely have some wicked schemes in the works.
