Quote

 

Donald J. Trump’s presidency will not survive 2019;
 

The downward trajectory of every aspect of his tenure indicates we are headed for a spectacular political crash-and-burn — and fairly soon;
 

His increasingly erratic and angry behavior, his self-imposed isolation, his inability and refusal to listen to smart advisers that he hired, all are leading him to a precipice

 

Quote

 

The Mueller investigation will come to an end in 2019;
 

Mueller will shock everyone with what he has discovered, and the result will be much worse for Trump than anyone has anticipated;
 

Yes, Trump indeed knew about the now-infamous June 9, 2016, Trump Tower meeting — and he lied to the American people repeatedly about it;
 

Trump lied on Air Force One when he concocted a phony statement about “adoptions,”  because he knew the truth about the meeting;
 

The Mueller investigation will unveil evidence of Trump putting himself out to the highest bidder in return for campaign help and financing: Russians, Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris — there will be evidence that millions of foreign dollars illegally flowed into the Trump campaign coffers in 2016;
 

In other words, Trump basically said, “I’m for sale”;
 

We may learn the source of the $66 million of his own money that Trump donated to his campaign in 2016. Was it a foreign entity who gave him the money as, in effect, an illegal pass-through?
 

Now that he has removed Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Trump can do what he tried in 2018: He will remove our troops from South Korea;
 

This is exactly what North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, and China and Russia want us to do;

Trump tried this last spring but Mattis and former chief of staff John Kelly talked him out of it; now, neither man remains to stop him;
 

This will provoke a crisis the likes of which we have never seen;
 

The GOP Senate will go nuts when this happens, as will the Pentagon and Japan;
 

This action may begin the breaking away of the 20 GOP senators it will take to remove Trump if the House impeaches, dooming the Trump presidency;

Despite committing myriad crimes, Al Capone's ultimate undoing was failing to pay back taxes. Despite committing myriad crimes, Donald Trump's ultimate undoing may very well be giving Kim Jong Un a strategic reach-around. Seems pretty fitting.

FWIW it seems like the first major 2020 domino to fall is Warren.

 

I've heard a lot about her flaws, but from what I've heard of her positions she sure is supporting a lot of good stuff. I'm all about someone that's going to say enough is enough with bowing on bended knee to big business and wealthy donors. I like how she's going out of her way to point out how she actually strongly believes in capitalism, with government playing a vital intervening role, rather than being branded a raging socialist like a lot of people no doubt assume her to be.

 

And I REALLY don't care if some people think she's screechy or too shrill. After watching Trump comport himself like a pre-teen girl over the past two years anyone could be 1000x more presidential than what we've got now. I'm not going to be picky.

 

Probably not my favorite but glad she's getting in.

This is an example of the conundrum the Dems and any Repub that challenges Trump are in.

 

It's not always that what he proposes is wrong....but HOW he proposes to do it is what's wrong.

 

 

Another example is border security.  The majority of people on both sides understand we need border security.  However, the devil is in the details.  It's about how you do it and the manner in which you do it that counts.

 

This is going to take more than just sound bites on the evening news to educate the voting public on what the real issues are.

I agree with everything you said except for the bolded. We absolutely need to be picky. All voters should be educated and picky about who deserves their votes.

Yep, it's funny. But the fact the president is a racist sh#tposter memelord kind of destroys any enjoyment I get out of the humor.

Even with that - most presidents try to look presidential and stay above the fray.  But he is an insecure, narcissistic person, so he has to attack every perceived threat at the inception and he does so via ridicule, rudeness, lies, crudeness, etc.  His tweet says more about him than it does her.  And what it says, isn't good.

:thumbs  Indeed.  Hot on the educated.  Read all sources, not just the ones that we might gravitate toward with our politics.  All of it.
