If Trump has dialed it up to 12 a year out from the election and as the impeachment is just beginning, how bad is the next year going to be?

Why not simply ignore tRump… We know he will rant to his rubes, and all they (his rants) do is tend to piss off anyone with any degree of intelligence. I would like to keep my sanity if possible, constant bombarding by tRump’s assholieness is not good for me

Release the WB info so The Criminal Orange Impeachiness can threaten/intimidate or discredit the WB = UNLAWFUL!

The lawlessness of the Trump Criminal Regime is aided and abetted by the Thugs-R-Us and it’s maggoted MAGA base!

Donald Trump: a masterpiece of vulgar nonsense. He should be an interactive exhibit at some contemporary museum.

What kind of guy he is changes the facts how? We’re way beyond the whistleblower in case you haven’t noticed.

TRump wants the WB’s ID out so his minions can attack him/her. He is a bitter man(?) whose only satisfaction comes from hurting others.

He wants the whistleblower to self-out or be outed by others of his allies through his usual stochastic witness intimidation. It’s all cheap mob boss stuff, but his goal is to simply create noise and smear those who accuse him. It’s the standard Trump model.

Fun fact: they already know who the WB is or they have developed a composite of one that they can sell to Fox (even if they don’t have the person pinned down). I’ve seen a name floated around. Don’t know if it’s true but they did accurately out other sources to the FBI.

Odd, BenedictDonald thought written answers were sufficient for Robert Mueller. I mean its not like Whistleblower is going to say “I cannot recall” more than 30 times.

Let’s tell him there’s a whistleblower ready to release pics of him before his hair-arranger arrives every morning. We only think he’s obsessed now.

I think it could get to the kneeling in prayer with Pompeo at 2:30am stage.

Those whistleblower protection laws don’t apply to Dump, just like Dump and his maladministration are 100% immune from any meaningful oversight, criminal investigation, civil action, etc.

Why is the President who is sworn to uphold the law encouraging others to break the law?

I imagine if he ever has a presidential “library” it will be more like a multi-media Disney E ride complete with animatronic Trumps, IMax Trumps, perhaps Tweet tunnels and a Scandal roller coaster. It would be sort of like those torture museums you see in every European city. But with an amusement component.

I’ve got a deal for you, Donnie-Boy: We’ll release the whistleblower information, and you get locked up. In a padded cell.

Trump could ask Putin … and Putin cold tell Trump what Putin’s closely placed asset in the White House has concluded… well, you know …the asset other than Trump himself.
