Yeah, if even he won't respond, then you know shit got serious. And maybe he "lost" his phone as in someone stole it so he wouldn't tweet for a while.

Happened on designated Survivor so must mean its possible
"Shit we can't reach the top shelf, call Comey, he's the only one tall enough"
Tends to happen when story isn't evolving further. I imagine next bigger development will be Comey testimony and/or his memos made public.
Also possible nonsense from Twitter by Trump.

We're not getting an independent president for as long as our electoral college system exists
Which means we're never getting an independent president.
Trump is speaking at Coast Guard academy graduation - https://www.washingtonpost.com/
Sure he'll start talking about how amazing he is and how fake the controversies are soon enough.
I think he likes doing the military speeches - they can't boo or disparage him.

It's not defeatism (i just said i expect republicans to lose everything in 2020), it's realism. I've voted in every election, have donated in every election, and volunteered in a few. And every time I talk to a friend or acquaintance who mentions not voting, I go into a rant/argument to convince them otherwise.
I think the counter to your argument is that you can't get people's hopes up either, otherwise you risk backlash when Trump isn't impeached and the Republican party remains competitive instead of disappearing into nothingness for generations. People said 2008 was the end of the Republican party. Then 2012. Then Trump's nomination. Now Trump's presidency is supposed to be the end. That stuff can be even more damaging to enthusiasm. Better to recognize that the republicans will be sticking around and remaining competitive regardless of what they do, at least until people over 50 start dying en masse. They're a threat to the country that needs to be confronted and contained as much as possible. The optimism behind the notion that Trump will be impeached and this will have lasting, generational damage to the GOP seems like a severe underestimation of that threat.
Edit: also, I know self - identified republicans are only about 30% of the population, but them plus the few independents who will only ever vote republican are about 45% of actual voters.

Does anyone even want the job at this point
Who is clean, honest and tough enough to take the punishment in this age of information
Really makes me appreciate how well Obama took the abuse during our cultural transition
Could you imagine any past presidents and how they would deal with this mess?

It's Russia's goal to destabilize the US. Electing Trump was their pipe dream best case scenario
Even if he's impeached, the damage is done and will continue.
You have to be a little narcissistic if you want this job, IMO.
I would never want to touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Fixed.

Trump not getting love from Ivanka? This is like 3rd public speech in row where he want audience to thank and love their parents.

Ideally, but how much would that actually matter? What's to stop the next Republican president from just undoing whatever legislature the Democrat did? Trump opened that door with his aggressive action towards Obama's changes and legacy and I don't think it's going to be closed by either party

I keep wondering how many people that visit CNN read this as sarcasm. I think it's intended to be somewhat sarcastic, but for some reason I feel like Trump supporters get on this page and think "Even Putin is willing to back up our Glorious Leader's statements and even propaganda network CNN is reporting on this"

I was disappointed that I didn't wake up to a tweet from him asking why the mainstream media was ignoring how the DNC killed Seth Rich.
Aaaaand now he's bragging about the F-35 savings he had nothing to do with, and some magical Ford carrier savings that never occurred.

They were part of it I suppose. My point was the lesser evil argument isn't very effective.
Also, as a side note I'm worried about what will happen to Trump once he leaves office. Obviously, the POTUS can't​ be charged by normal means but what happens once he's a citizen? Are states or the federal government going to press charges...? It's a very worrying precedent that I think will be used as a political weapon later.

I can't see a worse situation than Trump remaining in office. Maybe impeachment in the short term might be worse but in the long run things should get better.
There's an article on HuffPo (dunno if it was already linked here or not) describing how hundreds of positions still haven't been filled, and the piling scandals just keep pushing talent away. Nobody wants anywhere near this administration, and if the disorganization and stress continues I can imagine people jumping ship.
I appreciate your username combined with your avy.

Well, he's sinking his party and their credibility, his EOs are consistently getting shot down by the courts, his party won't be able to pass any legislation, and every fucking day he loses even more credibility and is turning the office into a mockery.
My biggest concern right now is that if/when he is removed, that Democrats lose some steam and thus potentially lose some voters come the midterms.

The reason has the appearance of rolling so many things back is because a lot of Obama's actions were Executive Orders due to a Congress that refused to work with him.
If Dems can get the House and/or Senate back, you'll have much more opportunity to actually pass laws. Which are much more difficult to just wipe away.
Uh... there was a lady named Hillary Clinton who survived 25 years of mud slinging and definitely wanted the job.
Isn't that exactly what happened to him just before the election? He was strangely silent on Twitter because his phone was taken away from him.
It's not worrying at all. Motherfucker committed crimes he should be arrested for them.

Should be interesting to see if Mike Pence is an improvement on being president.

Yeah his phone got taken from him right before the election. Once he won he took it back. I imagine after he threw his entire WH administration under the bus with his last tweet about the Trump/Russia meeting. They likely took it away from him. However, don't worry Trump Jr. is here to fill his spot.
No fucking way.
This is enraging:

Congressman Al Green called for impeachment this morning.

This is the first time these words have been uttered in the same sentence.
Slight improvement, maybe, but Pence is still scum. We're kinda losing either way.

The American right has spent decades rabble-rousing and demonizing the opposition to the point where their base is whipped into such a fervor and believe that democrats are so awful, Russia has easily been able to co-opt this sentiment and use it to brazenly undermine the country's geopolitical standing. Doubtful that the GOP as a whole actually wants this, but their frenzied base has spun out of control and they don't seem to know what to do about it, so they're just playing along.

we are losing as long as any GOP member is in a seat
the vast majority of them are vile, complicit and dangerous
Exactly, although it is an improvement that Pence's evil may at least be more predictable.
