JFC, Adam Schif is on CNN and the background is Trump Plaza Palm Beach hovering right over his head. Bad choice moron.

Tom Rooney, a GOP member of the house intelligence committee, said that the committee has gone off the rails.

I don't know if a majority report from the committee requires majority backing for release, but if Rooney is going wobbly hard to imagine 12 members on the committee would be for it with a 13-9 GOP edge and a handful of less flunky GOP members than Rooney.

I guess as a draft memo saying NO COLLUSION (which is defensible) and RUSSIA WASN'T TRYING TO HELP TRUMP (which is decidedly less so) accomplishes plenty of goals for Trump even if it isn't officially reported from the committee.

I uh don't really think this has anything to do with PA-18. Swing voters really don't care about this Russia stuff. Not like it's gonna save or lose the seat.

i'm not sure why I keep picking at this, but Trump is trending to be more popular than Carter (in the next few weeks), Reagan and Clinton (in the next few months) and Obama (before the end of the year.)

Seeming more and more that we got what we wanted (and deserved).

which set of data are you looking at for this?

I agree, so the question remains- why do this now?

Remember after the “#$!&@” comments about Haiti and numerous members of Congress indicated they would censure him? What the hell happened to that? So disheartening.

tbf, Congress has been a joke for many, many years

I don't think that's necessarily true. None of these Presidents started (IIRC) as low as Trump, who really had only up to go, at best, he'll probably reach around the 45% mark of his inauguration w/out another total fuck up. The tax bill isn't selling well, and he has nothing else to really hang his hat on. The only way I see an increased jump in his polls is that he doesn't do something dumb, and he gets to appoint another SCOTUS judge that makes Jersey and his ilk nod in fervent agreement.

we have 4% unemployment right now and he's at the lowest levels in history at this point and has been for almost a year.
