From a Trump tweet:

"I never called his wife a loser to him"


Soooo, he just spread that S around to other people, not to his face! LOL

Because 85% of republicans now look like this:

The "small government"' party fully on board with the government swooping in and taking people's property from them.

This seems like a pretty big fucking deal..

@nprpolitics
JUST IN: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released an interim report based on multiple whistleblowers who say the Trump administration is rushing to transfer sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in violation of federal law.

The report says career officials warned White House officials about the risks of their efforts and that some White House staffers involved, including President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had conflicts of interest and shouldn't be involved in the decision-making process.

military spending and enforcement of moral norms falls outside the purview of limited government; both of which you could distill into a "punish bad people" outlook.

DJT talking to the press clarifying that the NYT story about him interfering with Cohen probe is FAKE NEWS.

So ringy-ding-ding, there is a research based story about him trying to interfere with the Cohen probe.

He went on to chirp that the Dems are moving to remove all walls and security on the borders. Just how can he say this stuff and expect us to believe?

Had to leave, I am sure he will still be talking in an hour.

Adding 10% or $2T to the debt does too, so F norms.

Beto did say that he would take down the intact fencing that is in El Paso.

President Trump reportedly asked then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker late last year if he could make one of his allies, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman, in charge of a federal probe into hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign.

This is what Flynn was trying to set up way back in 2016. These people are genuinely evil.

Would the Dems prefer to run against Trump in 2020 or would they prefer to run against a post-impeached Trump Republican party nominee?

DJT's paws patrol is out there denigrating folks today. Target #1 for today, McCabe, who Mercedes Schlapp described as a known liar, and political hack for cameras.

Sounds like Biden is almost certainly running.

Will anyone keep him from winning the nomination?

Seems like he has a terrific chance of beating Trump. I see him winning PA, MI, and WI.

Doesn't seem like he has a terrific chance at the nomination though

Good question, I'm not sure I have an answer. I'm concerned he might win because I think he'll literally do anything to win and avoid facing the indictments that will be waiting. And he's already tilting things in his favor, so I think he'll have a real chance. Putin will be throwing everything at us and I'm sure they have things we are not prepared for

I think we've officially been broken. So few comments on treason accusations, reporting of attempted interference through Whitaker, an attempt to transfer nuclear technologies, etc. Not even an 'enjoy your life' meme. Hmmm.
