Trump gets more pathetic every day.

I wonder if this would really be such a problem: for one, there is a VP.
And secondly, this would give the party in the WH a boost in the midterms.

Elizabeth Warren would destroy jobs and the middle class. If elected she must be impeached.

If elected she must be impeached. Lewis Carroll couldn't have expressed it any better.

The US could save valuable time by pre-impeaching her.

It's what Republicans want people to feel.

Mark Levin, a great lawyer and scholar, said last night on his @marklevinshow, that all you have to do is read the transcript of the call, you do not need Never Trumpers or other witnesses to say what it means or says. It is plainly and very well stated for all to see. Witch Hunt

What I said on the phone call with the Ukrainian President is “perfectly” stated. There is no reason to call witnesses to analyze my words and meaning. This is just another Democrat Hoax that I have had to live with from the day I got elected (and before!). Disgraceful!

The Whistleblower gave false information & dealt with corrupt politician Schiff. He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable! Where is the 2nd Whistleblower? He disappeared after I released the transcript. Does he even exist? Where is the informant? Con!

“There is no Whistleblower. There is someone with an agenda against Donald Trump. What he was blowing the whistle on didn’t happen. We have the transcript of the call. This is all a farce and no Republican should forget that.”

Great! But how do you know it was a “mistweet?” May be something with deep meaning!

A horse named “Covfefe” won a Breeder’s Cup event at Santa Anita today. Named after President Trump’s famous mistweet, she has now won six of her first eight races.

[TragicMonkey]

Interesting that Trump is turning his guns on Warren. Is he starting to realize she's a serious threat?

More words of wisdom from Mark. This was an on-the-air comment he made last month:

Quote:

“But I will say this about our president,” the pro-Trump host continued: “While he’s been president there hasn’t even been a hint of scandal. Not a hint!” Link

Naturally he's a regular on Fox News.

When talk of impeachment first started, Trump said that if it happened, then in the future every President would face impeachment if their Party didn't control the House. He phrased it as a warning then. It's only more recently that he's turned it into a threat.
"If I get impeached, what's to stop it from happening again?"
vs.
"If I get impeached, we'll do it next."

It could end with some stats about tax dollars spent on the wall vs how effective other methods have been.

Trump is now dismissing the reports of people cutting through the wall, saying "you can cut through any wall" and "it’s very easily fixed".

Quote:

The Washington Post published a report on Saturday revealing how smugglers in Mexico have been getting past Trump’s billion-dollar border wall through comically simple means, such as makeshift ladders and electric saws anyone can buy at their local Home Depot.
But when confronted with the failure of his prized project, Trump merely shrugged it off.
“We have a very powerful wall,” Trump told reporters on Saturday. “But no matter how powerful, you can cut through anything, in all fairness.”
He claimed the breaches could be “easily fixed.”
“One of the reasons we did it the way we did it, it’s very easily fixed,” Trump said. “You put the chunk back in. But we have a very powerful wall.”
“But you can cut through any wall,” he added.

That's why we built it that way. I'm picturing Pee Wee Herman, "I meant to do that."

Exactly. The implication is that the current impeachment process is based on nothing but hate for Trump. That this is patently false doesn't matter a bit if one's reality is shaped by Trump tweets and Fox News.

I Steved yesterday, and I'm going to Steve again today. I like to Steve a lot, although my doctor says I shouldn't Steve so much. It's your choice as to whether you Steve or not.

That Tweet seems to have been taken down. Maybe to add a comma? I don't see a replacement yet, either. If so, I'd find it very odd to make this correction among the many much more egregious ones.

Many people say they know me, claiming to be “best friends” and really close etc., when I don’t know these people at all. This happens, I suppose, to all who become President. With that being stated, I don’t know, to the best of my knowledge, a man named Michael Esposito.....

....I don’t like him using my name to build his consulting company, or whatever. Please advise his clients and Administration officials accordingly.

Then it's not impenetrable- simple as that. It's not even "very powerful" if all it takes to get through it is a saw. (I suspect the only real power the wall has is symbolic- Trump's base sees a problem, and he's there to provide an "impenetrable wall" that stands for a solution, which, even if it doesn't work, is enough for them)

Quote:

... and "it’s very easily fixed".

Uh huh. Maybe we should replace "closing the barn door after the horse has got out" with "easily fixing the wall after the illegals have gotten through." What's the point (or sense) in a solution that needs constant fixing because it's constantly being broken by the problem it's supposed to solve?

Next step? Well...they shoot horses, don't they?

The conclusion of those two premises is clear: don't build a wall. Do something else that is very easy.

Sounds more like a fence than a wall. I guess Mexico couldn't afford the wall?

So, have we just given up on Trump using his office to promote commercial properties, then?

Not just implicitly. Dennis Prager, for one, was on Bill Maher’s show Friday, 11/1, explicitly saying precisely that.

Hey, if we can pretend to send men to the moon, we can pretend that a multi-billion-dollar boondoggle is impenetrable.

[Ladewig]

President Trump: “He must be brought forward to testify. Written answers not acceptable!”

Is there any matter or action for which the president will not assert that when he does it it is perfectly correct and when anyone else does the same thing, it is unforgivably wrong?

[The Great Zaganza]

Trump doesn't think written answers are acceptable?

So why didn't he give Mueller a proper interview?

I wonder who wrote it?

My guess is Ed Reardon

I have to say this for Don Jr.: I'm sure he's written more of that book himself than Eric would have.

Oh, the perks of a tri-partite name.

For me, the President Trump’s greatest PeeWee-Herman plagiarization is “I know you are but what am I?”

How exactly is it a 'false story' that some Republicans are admitting that there was Quid pro quo? Both Cruz and Kennedy have said it was "Quid pro quo but not illegal".

Of course. My remark was in reference to the scare tactic of claiming every president can and will be impeached. It relies on the listener believing the current impeachment is based entirely on partisan politics instead of being based on evidence of official misconduct....evidence provided by the administration itself.

Bring on the tapes that Mulvaney spoke of! If this actually isn't true, they'd disprove it, right?
