if it were leveled against a Democrat. Since it was leveled against a Republican we'll be treated to a chorus of crickets chirping. Once again, the old IOKIYAR adage is applicable.

I'll say it again, we simply have to outnumber them at the polls, while doing all we can to fight voter suppression and gerrymandering. Because we are not going to reach/convert deplorables.

8. He likes "locker room talk".
Mon May 7, 2018, 11:52 PM
May 2018

In his braincloud, he believes himself to be a star and banging models is cool and something he should be able to do because he can.

We have his own words to refer to here:

“I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it, you can do anything…"
--Donald J. Trump, Access Hollywood

He's a married man...but I believe he probably also considers his marriage to Melania over and she probably wants out also but signed something that said she'd get a decent separation if she stayed with him through the election for optics...then he won, so they're both stuck. The religious cruddites who like to think women are property are fine with this.

Not even looking beyond his nose to the well being of the country, just looking at it from his own personal perspective, it makes more sense for him to resign right now. It would be much better off for him in the long run, but I think his ego is just too damned big to permit such a thing.

He has a universe-size ego that is telling him he is the greatest in the world and nothing, absolutely nothing will convince him to resign. Resignation is not in his extremely limited vocabulary.
He cares about no one other than himself. And I mean no one, including his daughter/wife Ivanka.

He’ll hang in there as long as possible because he wants the Nobel Peace Prize for a North Korea deal—never mind that much of the work has been done by South Korea’s president. Trumpcan’t stand the idea that an “inferior” black man won something so prestigious, so he must have it too.

Computer card. They ask you,Democrat or Republican. It goes in the computer. You can be challenged if you lie to vote for the weaker candidate.

I have seen a few embarrassed when they tried to do that. I was asked to come back today because they need Poll Workers. It is a 16/17 hour day. Independents can vote issues, not candidates.

Tue May 8, 2018, 06:17 PM

Because it looks like tRump Ghouliani and his allies are after anyone who opposes tRump and their evil empire.

Schneiderman HAD to go. He's a sick drunk who needs help, but he also needs to be in jail because he abused these women who accused him.

However, it's CLEAR that team tRump is after anybody who is a threat to THEM and their evil, racist, rotten, treasonous empire. I still feel tRumputin's going down, but this deep state crapola that tRump et al are spewing is going to be with us forever.

God, I hope Michael Avenatti's clean. Dems or anyone going after tRump has to be squeaky clean, and even then what if "they" hired then coached someone to LIE on him. Someone to accuse him of sexual assault? Even if he said that this person(s) are lying, he'd have to step aside and clear himself. That's definitely going to slow things up on Stormy's case vs Fatso. Meanwhile that big, fat, lying, guilty of treason HOG whose close to, if he hasn't, broken up NATO because he pulled out of the Iran deal today.

Again, I hope that Michael Avenatti's clean. Hell it might not matter, if someone's coached and then paid enough to LIE on him, because he'd have a mess on his hands trying to clear his name. Anybody going after tRump is being targeted for removal.

T life-long skeptic that I am, I still feel Fatso's going down, but we'll be living through team crazy world for a while unfortunately.

so he wouldn’t have to meet the usual standards imposed on Democrats. Although he seems to have a big ego (which often trips people up), he seems very smart and very savvy. So I suspect that he has been careful (if not also high in integrity). Hope we’re right.

Avenatti will help bring him down. He seems to know a huge amount of information on Both Trump and Cohen.

But Mueller has the goods. The first indicted reported to prison yesterday. More to follow.
