So does anybody still want to make that bet about Trump finishing his term?

I wonder how much of this is due...

Probably very little.

Republicans have once again shown they stand for nothing. Family values? Nope. The lives of children? Nope. This is tribalism at it's worst in a shitty red state chock full of people who think the stories are all made up. It has nothing to do with liberals and everything to do with a "conservative" voter base who is willing to vote for a pedophile.

I suspect we're headed for a spectacular meltdown as Mueller closes in on Trump and his family.

Will he go to war with NK before then though?

Looks like Flynn may be close to cutting a deal. Which is HUGE news and REALLY BAD news for Trump:

A complaint was filed that Conway violated the Hatch Act:

And of course, more smoke screen from Trump on Twitter. Today is no exception:

In a society where some boys wear dresses to school, girls join boy scouts, a tranny bathroom on every street corner, a white girl identifies herself as a black man, a student needs a cup of hot chocolate and a trauma dog if someone calls them a bad name.....

Trump's not even close to scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Dude, he's advocating on behalf of a pedophile....you think we can go lower? How much lower shall we go?

Hope not.

I've said it before I think, but tax cuts during a strong economy is idiocy. What happens when the tide inevitably changes and we're in a recession? Then the revenue dips would be even greater and our deficits would be even worse. We'd be in a downturn with little-to-no leverage and mounting debt. This is before we even begin to look at how they are making the cuts in the first place and how immoral that is. The bottom line is the GOP donors expect their payback right now. I'm curious to see what happens to the stock market if it doesn't go through. A great deal of this "exuberance" is anticipating tax cuts in the future and cheap money.

It's looking like Flynn cooperating is really bad news for Trump. Kushner also looks like he's in a world of poop, and if he is, then Don Jr. most certainly is.

Trump's disrespect to these code talkers over the weekend was really something else. How dare we kneel at a football game, it's outrageous, but use racial slurs and talk to these men like they're morons is perfectly OK.

Of course he's pushing for the child molester in Alabama too. Anything for a tax cuts. At least some Republicans are against Moore....some.

How much lower are we going to go?

Off subject - I'm not very Twitter savvy, but why do people post 40 different twitter posts instead of just making a blog & linking to that in 1 post?

I know right? Maybe try another format for your posts???

The lyrics are ridiculous, but the songs, melodies, harmonizing, riffs etc are actually really good. I've been listing all week.

He was down by 8 last week, which I felt was a story in itself. He should be down by 38 IMO. The last poll had them virtually even.  If he wins,  the GOP will be handcuffed to dead hooker and will need to do something.
