Teuchter Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think that a German headline sums it up “hate and malice remain electable” Looks awfully like the mid term results of a two term President as opposed to an overwhelming backlash.

Vinnie Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 He seems to think the result was a ringing endorsement. Which means he'll continue to be loud and brash and divisive and inflammatory. With the House of Representatives giving Democrats far more influence than in the past 24 months, things wont go Trumps way, and I think the uneducated of his followers will lose interest because he cant deliver on promises. I think he'll be childish and petulant and demonstrate further that he is not Presidential material. I can imagine there may be a strong challenge from within the Republicans when they start the run for Presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchter Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I will be well chuffed if in a couple of years you can dig up that post and say "telt ye" after the scenario plays out as you have written it. It may as well have been a ringing endorsement as he has fared not much worse than many other Presidents. Bawbaggery has been normalised. What is up with the septics?

SanguinePar Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Bumping this old thread to the top again as a big development today with the indictment and arrest of long-time Trump confidant, and all round utter pr*ck, Roger Stone. Stolen summary from the Guardian live feed: Roger Stone, a long-time Donald Trump ally, has been charged with obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements, as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The indictment alleges that Stone spoke to senior Trump campaign officials about WikiLeaks “and information it might have had that would be damaging to the [Hillary] Clinton campaign”. In a worrying development for Donald Trump, the president could potentially be implicated in Stone’s alleged crimes. The indictment describes a senior Trump campaign official as being “directed” to contact Stone regarding releases damaging to the Clinton campaign. The accusation begs the question as to who in the Trump campaign could have directed the unnamed senior official. Stone was arrested by FBI agents at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home at around 6am on Friday morning. CNN footage showed a number of armed agents approaching the house. Stone is due to appear in court at 11am. In a separate development Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, is due to appear in a Washington DC court today. Manafort will face accusations that he lied to Mueller after agreeing to cooperate with the special counsel’s office. The senior Trump campaign official is supposedly (former White House Chief Strategist) Steve Bannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I wonder when Trump will sack Mueller for getting too close to the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as he wants to be impeached I would guess :-) In all seriousness, I wouldn't trust the GOP to go after him even after that. However I suspect Mueller has a number of dead man switches set up should the plug get pulled. For instance there's a case he handed off to the New York Attorney General that would continue even if the Mueller investigation is stifled. I would imagine that's not the only one too. Also, public support for Mueller is growing, and with every indictment, guilty plea and conviction, Trump's Witch Hunt tantrums become ever less credible.
