    The issue is not whether it's actually true or not. The issue is that Trump thinks it's true and wants to do it. He can read a story about a general using piss filled water balloons against the enemy and as long as he thinks it's real, then it becomes his truth.

    Yet he said after the Charlottesville thing he doesn't wanna comment until he has all the facts. So he goes out and says this crap today.

    The only plausible explanation I have heard for trump's behavior is that he has some type of mental illness. I mean beyond narcissism.

    I can see it. I think a lot of people see it. The right move would be to remove him for being medically unfit to hold office, or whatever legal remedy exists for that.

    He lives in a weird bubble where nothing matters to him. The only thing he knows is self preservation no matter the cost. Need a distraction from Russia? Let's threaten nuclear war. Who cares? Bad news stories coming down the pipe? Let's ban trannies from the military. Literally nothing matters to him. And the media eats the shit up. They take the bait every time.

    There's a congresswoman in California who is calling for the use of the 25th amendment to have Trump removed from office.

    I'm going to disagree. I might be a hippy freak but I'll double check to make sure I've spelled a word right or used it properly according to the definition.
    I know he's in the majority of the pablum populace but he doesn't even have a fact check bitch?

    I corrected two words because of spell correct. I want a president who can at least assign someone to that. Stephen Miller doesn't need to spend much time on his hair, right?

    You know who the president is, right? The actual truth or facts have never mattered to him. It doesn't matter to his supporters either because they understand him emotionally. Regardless of whether he gets it right or not is immaterial. It's that his supporters feel like they identify emotionally in the same way about the same thing.

    I don't sleep well and I've seen this fauxmercial where they have spray stuff that looks like real hair. It seems to bond/cling to your real hair.

    Maybe Stephen Miller would feel better about himself if he tried it.

    The problem with that approach is that it's actually harder to pass than actual impeachment since it requires 2/3's passage in both the house and senate and it doesn't actually remove the president from the office; it just reassigns his powers to the VP. Which really, is actually what Trump probably wants done he gets to keep the title and has none of the responsibilities.

    Trump isn't THAT stupid. He will resign, and keep his sweet ass benefits.

    His co-author (giggle/snort/rimshot) is suggesting before the end of the year:
    https://www.mediaite.com/online/art...e-years-end-reminds-me-of-last-days-of-nixon/

    I think the "let the left talk about racism" card was played one too many times, and when you're defending white supremacists (and you have Trump's eloquence, history and clarity) it might actually be a bridge too far. Again, we see this replay: there is just no reason to work with Trump on anything. He might offer a job, but that offer expires quicker than milk. He has no political capital. He tweets about your company, apparently good or bad and your stock drops (or if it's good, he alienates a majority of your customers).

    Eventually, the gas runs out, and it will become apparent that he can't actually do the job.

    Then the question is...whether Mueller finds out Pence was involved.

    Co-Author? What's his new book going to be called? I'd go with "The Audacity Of Huh?"

    Unlikely. Seems much more about Bannon's strategy of courting ethno-nationalists blowing up in their face and causing Trump the biggest PR shitstorm of his shiticane presidency.

    Yeah, that seems the obvious reason, which is why I was curious if Meuller's investigation would have had any bearing.

    What I've heard is that Mueller is focusing on Don Jr. at the moment.

    I was thinking it might have been that recent interview he gave, where he was saying we had no military plan for NK.

    The definition of a Catch-22. Back their boss, or back their hero?
