Coincidentally- IMO- the pictures of Trump and the Russians seem to be the happiest ones I've seen of him during his presidency. Look at pics of him with the Russians compared to him with Angela Merkel. This is not normal.

That was one of my favorite comments because I thought the same thing (not sure what that means about me). In that one picture, he is grinning from ear to ear. Very happy to be in the same room as his comrades. I wonder if someone can find "tape" of Trump speaking Russian - like Kevin Costner in No Way Out.

For the first time we find more voters (48%) in support of impeaching Trump than there are (41%) opposed to the idea. Only 43% of voters think Trump is actually going to end up serving his full term as President, while 45% think he won't, and 12% aren't sure one way or the other.

Democrats now have a 49-38 lead overall on the generic Congressional ballot, up from 47-41 a month ago. Even more notable though is that among voters who say they're 'very excited' to turn out in the 2018 election, the Democratic lead balloons to 27 points at 61-34. The outcome of lower turnout midterm elections often hinges on which side is more engaged, and Democrats have the clear advantage at this point on that front- 63% of their voters say they're 'very excited' about voting in next year's election, compared to only 52% of Republicans who say the same.

We also looked at Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's prospects if he were to run for President as a Democrat. 36% of voters see Johnson favorably to 13% with a negative view of him, although 50% of voters have no opinion about him either way. Both Democrats (38/15) and Republicans (31/17) see him positively. Johnson would lead Trump 42/37 in a prospective contest, and wins over 15% of people who supported Trump last fall.

That if the President just moved to Canada and stopped doing the job it would be within the grounds of impeachable offenses even though there is nothing criminal in the conduct. I've seen it posited that it includes "dereliction of duty" and "conduct unbecoming" actions.
