I don’t know but each and every time he does this he looks weaker and sorrier and generates sympathy for his targets…who should be able to use it against him.
ETA: There is no way that anybody other than the most rabid Chumpster agrees with his tactics. He will never gain a vote thru this and if the person is squeaky clean on international corruption, which I assume Warren is, Chump looks even stoopider
Yes at this point, Pelosi and the Ds need to be angling to keep the Rs from re-forming and trying to get a clean slate. There is no chance that Chump and Pence can extricate themselves, so we need to be looking forward to make sure the Rs are soiled with this as long as possible and forestall any chance for Rs to break free of it. Hopefully for a decade or more
Yeah, but that was then. Today it’s morphed in plain sight, broad daylight, and on camera because robbing a bank without a mask on, by tRump’s criminal ethos, isn’t at all the same as robbing a bank with the mask on. If everyone can see it happen in real time and who committed the crime, he seems to believe it should be acceptable, or as he’s said “appropriate” because he’s the pResident. He thinks (Article 2) he has an absolute right to do as he pleases and not face any consequences even if they’re criminal. And apparently, Barr agrees with him. So, There.
That kind of illogic is how warped his mind is…but that’s because it was never very healthy to begin with.
The voters aren’t as well equipped with the rhetorical devices you need to cut him loose while excusing yourself and those voters. Never a real conservative, a good message from a flawed messenger, never adjusted to culture of Washington, talented but haunted by connections from past, and even—just thought of this and I love it—overly trusting. (Functionally that’s accurate, although we don’t usually associate the word with psyches this poisonous.) They’ll turn their backs with suavity and never a glimmer of regret or remorse.
Yep. But let us remember that, according to the armchair-strategists-who-know-better-than-those-professionals-read-in, “Mueller is no different than Barr! Inspector Gadget! ARgle bargle!?!”
Yep. When he loses the oligarchs, #MoscowMitch will bail and they’ll drag Donald out of the Oval literally shitting his pants. @srfromgr has the very image, above:
But she’s too old! I’m in my armchair and I can TELL that she’s selling us out! ARgle bargle!
I think that’s right. But I also think that some significant percentage of that 20-25% is, in turn, just “winner”-fetishists. That is, they love Donald when he’s “winning” and owning the libs, but if it starts to look like he’s “losing,” they’ll deny they ever supported him. And some percentage of those dimwits will just stay home in the double-wide drinking Bud Lite on Election Day '20.
That’s his Fox/Rush core. And some significant percentage of them are going to diebefore Nov '20, and definitely before Nov '24. 'Course, Donald will too. And maybe the Republic…
Not only is Barr’s investigation not on the level, it’s laughably absurd. Even if Barr delivers a report with the press and the US flag by his side, he will he derided and laughed at. If trump didn’t want to be investigated he shouldn’t have colluded with Russians. There is no right to collude with rival foreign powers free from gov’t surveillance. If you hang out with bad guys, expect to be investigated.
