Trump Says Delay Answering Mueller Questions Due to Crayons Breaking

That was so revealing and showed how stupid Trump truly is. With Trump, if it looks like corruption, it always is. No smoking gun needed, no reason to wait, corruption and con jobs is his MO.

And here, he flat out admitted it but like admitting he fired Comey over Russia, he’s oblivious how he’s exposed himself.

I’m sure Mueller has that exchange added to his obstruction case against Trump.

Cheers, Kes!

Reminds me of a five year old boy handing a crayon drawing to his mom, “I did it all by myself!”

Trump is a ridiculously obvious example of an insecure, bully manboy who never grew up emotionally from his pre-teens,

He is a baby and he knows it which is probably why one of the insults that upsets him most is being called a baby. Thus, why this was created and upset him so much:

Thanks Kalima!

The synonym to “perjury trap” is “caught lying”. It’s about that simple. And as even Trump’s lawyers know, Trump’s mouth is the real perjury trap.

Donald Trump is Very Afraid of You…If You’re Voting

Trump will soon be in another bind…in handcuffs.

» Posted By AdLib On November 7, 2018 @ 9:39 pm

Dave Brat lost, Pete Sessions lost and Scott Walker lost.

Some of our best lost but some of their worst lost too. And Dems took the first step to taking back all of federal government and limiting Trump’s power.

It wasn’t a Blue Tsunami but it was a Blue Wave that sure looks to build into a tsunami by 2020.

The movie that comes to mind right now is The Madness of King Donald.

» Posted By AdLib On November 7, 2018 @ 9:32 pm

And then we’re always reminded the next day that a psychotic criminal is in the WH.

Trump’s firing of Sessions and illegally installing his henchman won’t end up working the way he hopes but along the way, it will be a degree of madness.

The cure is Dems taking over the House in January but that’s two months away.

Thank goodness there are lots of sealed indictments already in the hands of the Grand Jury and likely all the files and info farmed out to US Attorneys and State AGs.

Firing Mueller won’t end this, it should end Trump as blatant evidence or obstruction of justice.

Trump needs to be impeached even if he’s not removed. He needs to be badly defeated in 2020 then prosecuted and put in jail for all of his crimes.

As Trump intended, the glow of satisfaction of Dems winning the House has taken a backseat today to the display of evil from Trump.

But like all horrible people, his day is coming.

Hey glenn, you know I’ve been very optimistic about Americans rising up in this election to knock Trump back on his heels and keep him in check from now on and I still feel that will be what we see happening tonight.

I also agree that Dems will be prudent but purposeful with investigating and going after Trump and his mob for all the crimes and violations they’ve been committing. And when Mueller hands them what I expect will be a very damning report on Trump’s conspiracy with Russia and financial crimes, I expect them to impeach him (even though I can imagine some of the Establishment Dems resisting that for selfish political reasons).

There has been so much criminality committed by Trump while the Repubs were the Sheriffs and looking the other way, the next two years will be a living hell for Trump, leading up to a crushing defeat in 2020.

Tonight is the first step in returning America to sanity and principles and I can’t imagine that the flood of new voters, youth voters, women and minorities, are coming out with such fervor to support the status quo under Trump. They’re coming out to stop Trump and take back the country and that’s what everyone including the obviously desperate Trump and Repubs believe is going to happen.

The bad news is that there are many reports today of long waits at polling places, scanners and machines not working and voters being turned away for these reasons and not appearing to be registered.

The good news is that voters seem to be very determined and are waiting as long as they have to, calling on election lawyer hotlines to help them get to vote or cast provisional ballots and telling everyone they can to get out and vote.

My hope is that the Blue Wave will be a tsunami that produces bigger wins than the polls could track because of all the new voters that are pouring out to vote.

It will take until after the 2020 election but if Dems can win at least The House today and then The Senate and WH in 2020, the first thing they should do is pass a new Voting Rights Act that requires paper ballots nationwide (so no hacking or malfunctioning machines can corrupt, prevent or hugely delay voting) and restrictions on Voter ID, voter purging and other voter suppression tactics.

It also would be a good idea to include a law against conflicts of interest that bar a Secretary of State from overseeing and manipulating his/her own election.

We will win today simply because there are more of us than there are of them and our voters will not accept being prevented from voting.

I’m heading out in a little bit to vote myself! As I mentioned above, it does finally give me a sense of power over Trump and what he’s been doing to our country.

Trump Proudly Hangs New Painting in White House

You sure? I saw a painting of her and her hair looked different.

Trump Proposes Laws to GAG and ABUSE Women

Part of what powers my optimism is knowing people like you, Kes. We are not alone, we’re not even a minority. Most Americans, like most people, have good intentions and aren’t hateful, amoral people. Some may be a bit less motivated to be involved as citizens in politics but nothing motivates people more than seeing terrible wrongs.

There is a rhythm to society and events, an ebb and flow. The Kavanaugh approval was inevitable, Repubs control The Senate and they almost never stand up against what Trump wants (except on the ACA, thank goodness!). But most Americans have never seen and couldn’t imagine a likely attempted racist and perjurer being voted onto the SCOTUS. Still, Republicans voted how they have been so we kind of set ourselves up to be devastated (me included!).

But the natural evolution here is that, as happened after Trump’s election with the record-setting Women’s March, we work through the painful feelings of loss and re-channel our energy into purposeful action.

And Repubs will not be able to sustain their phony outrage over Kavanaugh’s “mistreatment” for four more weeks. As with everything else in the Trump era, it will be quickly left behind as new outrages against Trump come up.

So I think, in four weeks, Dems will be even more energized and intent on winning back power over Trump while Repubs will coasting on the afterglow of having added the SCOTUS to the other institutions Trump has tainted.

Nazis are good people, rape survivors who speak out are evil and liars, pedophiles are great Senate candidates, a federal criminal and aspiring tyrant is their leader, would murder by a white, privileged Republican just be “a witch hunt”?

Yep. Trump has the deaths of many Puerto Ricans and immigrants seeking sanctuary on his hands. He wants to have the deaths of tens of millions of Americans by ending their healthcare. I’d argue that murder is already acceptable to Republicans if done by one of their own.

Kes, this feeling of pain that the majority of Americans felt after the Kavanaugh vote and swearing in is temporary. It’s already fading and as it does, it will be replaced with greater resolve.

As we see that election day is nearing and recognize that we have the power to push back against all we’ve endured under Trump including Kavanaugh, The Blue Wave will crest.

I’ve been following the FiveThirtyEight.com projection on the probability of Dems taking back the House, the latest one is below. What I noticed is a slight drop for Dems when we were losing the Kavanaugh fight but now it has risen back up to its highest level. And the Cook Political Report, which ranks House races, has just moved five more towards the Dems.

So folks have been justifiably saddened by watching our government steamroll over us as the majority but they are bouncing back while the sugar high that Repubs got from “winning” the fight will be a memory in 4 weeks.

Kavanaugh is a knife that cuts both ways, they may have hurt the majority of Americans by seating him but the knife is coming right back at them to cut them off from their monopoly on power on November 6th.

You’re right, the older folks can’t do it all by themselves but the younger folks are registering and becoming involved, thanks especially to the #NeverAgain gun control movement they’ve built up. Thought their overall numbers are still lower than older Americans, the data I’ve seen is that registration and desire to vote is up 50% in young people, that could absolutely make a big difference.

And let me add that Trump and the GOP are now lawless. This is not a country of laws or morals to these reptiles. They are no different than their ally, Putin, in wanting to crash our democracy.

They use our system against Americans by taking away the ability to vote of Democratic voters, gerrymandering Dems out of the seats they should have and drowning out the voices of the majority with billions in campaign contributions by the greedy minority.

If Dems can not only win back half or all of Congress, Governorships and state legislatures this year and in 2020, the next redistricting in 2021 could cement the Repubs into the minority status they truly are for a very long time.

» Posted By AdLib On October 4, 2018 @ 5:47 pm

gyp46, your warnings are very legit. No question that the entire GOP, with maybe a couple of exceptions, are anti-democratic, anti-Constitution and are trying their best to steer the country into a tyranny.

It is the worst of times in my lifetime but I do think Americans who value our democracy and decency are activated. Looking at the growing protests against Kavanaugh, the bravery of the women publicly sharing the sexual attacks they endured despite personal risk, the big shift to Democrats in all special elections and the polls for this November, I think many Americans are very woke.

It can’t ever be taken for granted though, despite the polls and recent history of Dem over-performance, everyone who wants to save this democracy has to work to motivate others to action and to vote. GOTV is critical especially because the majority of the nation wants Trump stopped. Hubris is defeating, people need to stay humble and working as hard as if Dems were behind in the polls.

It is an existential matter, Dems have to win back power at least in The House to preserve our teetering democracy. I believe we will do it but only if we remain energized and punching it out until Election Day.

Five Tuesdays From Today…Either Democracy or Trump Will Be Hobbled

It’s sad but we do have to accept that a third of this country, is pretty much a lost cause. They are ignorant, authoritarians, racist and hateful.

As I like to say, you can’t use reason to convince someone out of views they didn’t use reason to accept. They are beyond reasoning, they are adversaries of progress and harmony. They must simply be beaten and sidelined.

Until 2020, we will be mired in conflict and chaos. Once Trump is pulled down like the Saddam statue and replaced with an honest, principled human being, the spell will be broken and we will look back in relief on the previous 4 years as a bout of temporary insanity.

Step 1 is winning back The House and maybe the Senate in less than 5 weeks. Step 2 is electing a Dem to the presidency in 2020.

And Step 3 should be criminally prosecuting Trump, his family and his cronies to make a statement about no one being above the law and establishing a number of laws to prevent any future madman from having such free reign and near dictatorial powers in the future.

And among them, barring nepotism and requiring 10 years of tax returns to be released for all candidates would be good first steps.

Thanks so much, gyp46!

We’ve been surrounded and steeped in hatred, bigotry, misogyny, lawlessness, cruelty and unconditional tribalism for those 620 days so it can sure appear that we’ve fallen into a very dark hole that’s inescapable.

But many nations and societies have gone through terrible times and one thing is true, they don’t last. Especially in a democracy.

The Obama Era seems long ago and hazy now but that’s how the insanity of Trump’s reign will be before too long. We forgot how horrible the Bush Era was by the end of the Obama Era, I think it’s the way human beings are.

Dems will take back the House in just five weeks, maybe the Senate too. And in 2020, we’ll take it all back and re-establish sanity and the America we believe in.

Until then, we have to endure this madness.

As for the 35% or so of the country that seems so mindless and hateful, the truth is that they’ve been there all along. Think back to the 1960s and the virulent racism throughout the South and around the rest of America. The same people justifying their hatred and racism by calling themselves “the Moral Majority” in the 1980s. The “Tea Party” was the new phony image these racist, anti-democratic types disguised themselves as more recently.

And now, they are MAGAs. They never went away, they were just shamed out of the spotlight and Trump simply led them back on the stage.

We’ve beaten them before, we’re going to again and we have to be prepared to do so again in 2020 and on and on.

As we’ve learned through the decades, this is a battle that never ends and we don’t get to ever sit back and rest after our victories. Now we know, these hateful rubes will always be around to one degree or another, lying in wait to march behind authoritarians who pander to them to use them.

And we must always stand in their way and push them back into the shadows even when they seem to have changed everything into their hateful images.

Trumpism won’t last, it’s already coming apart and will end up on the ash heap of history (along with the GOP as it’s become).

Five weeks from today we can bring down a powerful hammer on Trumpism. Two years from then, we can bury it.

Have faith, we can do this!

Note to Media: You Can’t Win Trump’s Rigged Game By Playing Along

Thanks back, Kes, for a wonderful post!

As you say, Trump’s act is that of a deranged magician. His now-obvious campaign of distraction and BS overload should be recognized for what it is and his blatherings should not be debated at length as is his goal. I like that MSNBC won’t cover Trump’s rallies live anymore, they have recognized that their viewers turn the channel because they don’t want to support the spread of propaganda. That thinking needs to be applied to his daily distractions as well.

As for Trump’s cult members, they are undemanding and find comfort in the familiar so I don’t kknow that they will ever fully tire of his repetition of victimhood, racism and conspiracies against everything with power that isn’t Trump.

However, I do think that their enthusiasm will diminish. One can only chant hatred for so long until one begins to tire. They will remain supporters of Trump even if he confessed to being a puppet of Putin’s but their fervor will wane.

That’s why I think the Blue Wave is coming this Fall and will continue in 2020. Yes, the rabid racists will continue to howl their support for Trump but as more non-extremists leave the GOP because of all that, even a majority of those who are left will lose their enthusiasm as Trump is buried by prosecutions around him and maybe even of him.

I think the fever has broken and will be permanently broken after this Nov.

Trump Connects Twitter Account to Fear Center of His Brain

The whole GOP machine spent decades brainwashing and whipping up the ignorant to serve as their Army of Fools, voting to make the wealthy wealthier while destroying their own standards of living like lemmings.

What the GOP keeps overlooking is that their Army becomes more powerful than them because they have the numbers and they march against the Establishment Repubs to make their whipped up hatreds come true.

Trump is a creation of the cynicism and unprincipled behavior of Repubs. He is their Frankenstein, they created him and they conditioned these followers to be his cult members.

The insanity of Trump does seem to be rising to a fever pitch more and more each day as Mueller’s investigation makes the walls close in around Trump and his crime family.

I am very concerned of what extreme things Trump may do as the indictments near and drop. But it has to happen, he must be stopped and brought down and Mueller will be the hammer that drives him into the ground.

Hopefully, as some have predicted, Mueller will drop some big indictments down by September.

Trump just heard on Fox and Friends that some people do buy groceries for themselves, using their KKK IDs then load them into their hover cars and fly to their underground homes.

And tonight, a man who hasn’t been in a market to shop for himself in decades at least, will attack “the elite” and his cult followers will cheer.

» Posted By AdLib On August 2, 2018 @ 3:45 pm

Kes, I think you nailed it, Trump has only a fear center. It’s like a tumor, it’s overtaken whatever was his brain.

And yes, one small corner of his swamp of a head has a single picture hanging in it:
