Just my two cents, but I don't think I'm alone in having a hard time believing this is actually happening. The snowball just keeps rolling down the hill, gaining size and speed, and we keep expecting the sun to come out and slow it down, but it doesn't. OK not the best analogy, but really, that feeling of relief that all the conjecture and rumors are turning out true is amazing.

It is unbelievable

I feel that way every single week... And then suddenly Trump reads one half way decent speech and he is Presidential again and no one gives a shit...

That's some straight up Frank Underwood shit.

I hope it's true.

True, but keep in mind every week the country is spending time discussing this, it's another week where the Republicants don't get to further their shit agenda, and another week closer to Congressional campaigns... You can forget about any major legislation being passed while candidates are busy distancing themselves from the Don.

nah i feel you. it's super fucking surreal, like straight out of Arrested Development and not our actual president and his family.

NYT deserves every single journalism award they hand out. Absolutely killing it right now.
Hopefully they get Time's Man of the Year cover award at the end of 2017. Trump doesn't deserve it.
Hell, they can collectively award it to NYT and WaPo.

Incidentally, I'm glad I'm not working until tonight as I'd be getting nothing done today otherwise. This thread has been a delight.

You guys know the Trump tweet from yesterday?

'If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!'


I mean he basically admits here he gave away the country, i mean holy crap.

instead it's reality

I don't see this turning that base at all. If anything I could see it reenergizing them after they go with the "fake news liberal bias" angle takes over.

He didn't really win because of his base. His base added with the Independents and lack of Democrat turnout is what put him over the finish line.

If a Dam is leaking, eventually it cracks before it bursts
 
Also thanks to Poli GAF I rewatched Burn After Reading yesterday and now the whole thing is even funnier... :) It's must watch movie this week.

When that happens..the investigation doesn't start from ground zero. I really don't know how no one gives a shit...unless that's just an angle you can't seem to let go of.

I like this better than my speculation except Pence is a dirt bag too. We have little to gain with him becoming President.

I have no idea where this is going next, but I'm glued to my screen until then. I'm not gonna share any of my conspiracy theories here anymore though, cuz damn. Some of you are ruthless!
 
Asked what White House means when they say there was no "collusion," Sanders says she's referring all q's to outside counsel.

If this was after the 2 year mark I would say it was more likely.

If Trump is out and Pence is clear this would could as Pence's first term in office and would only be eligible for re-election once.

If it happens past 2 years, he can run twice.

Well, you post literal nonsense that is generally what you get. I think most here are tired of Bernie Bro shit, too.

You're not. I am fully aboard, but there are plenty of people like my mom. She is not a Trump supporter, but she just can't grasp the possibility that elect officials would do any but for the good of the people. They assume authoritative figures, like a President or Congress, are all good. Doesn't cross her mind that some could enrich themselves or possible betray their own country.

It takes a lot to break up blind trust that has been built up by myth and lies over decades. Every call, I make a little more head way with her.
