Maybe shutting the government down would make the Senate more interested in throwing him out.

That was the nationally televised WH meeting where Trump sat like a spoiled child, arms tightly crossed, petulantly shouting he'd take responsibility for the federal government shutdown. Go ahead, do it again, Donnie.

They just don't care. For whatever reason, they are happy/addicted to the lunacy, chaos, cruelty, and stupidity.

But to see him defeated would be their own defeat, and they won't put up with that.

They could always pass a CR and over ride his veto. The dem votes will be there (as long as no poison pills get inserted).

Where will the gop be? They will no doubt have grave concerns, and blame the dems, and clutch their pearls, and fail to hold an over ride vote in the senate. Or moscow mitch simply won't advance any bill he thinks the idiot won't sign.

But they have the ability to keep the gov open. It's not just the orange idiot in charge.

(HA!!!! I crack me up! )

But seriously, this has to turn out to be a win/win for us either way. If the Senate has the balls to pass a budget, then IQ45 is the villain if he vetoes it. If they don't pass a budget, they THEY are are villains and the public knows who's responsible for that too.

Either way, IQ45 looks like an ass (as if this was the first time! ) and the Repugs are screwed either way - HIS fault or theirs, and there ain't squat he can do about it because you KNOW Madam Speaker will go over to OUR WHITE HOUSE and "bitch-slap" his fat ass all over the halls of the House America built!

His eyes are showing something. Medical issue could be.

I do not as a Christ follower wish ill or harm or demise on anyone. And my prayers are 'about' him and not 'for' him. If I am remiss, I'll answer for that.

He's really not well in many regards. Noone is responsible for that except he himself.

I had similar sentiments, but I rapidly progressed from displeasure to the unthinkable; I will not allow myself to wish that, but if it were to happen, I would not regret it.

This man is a dictator. He would happily execute anyone opposing him, if he could do it without restraint. He has to rely on public opinion right now, but it could happen that one day he might not have to worry about public opinion. I don't want to live under the likes of Kim, Xi, Erdogan, or Putin...or others...and although we weren't perfect, we were free. I LOATHE TRUMP. I loathe his spawn, and the whole TP, with all the enablers and blithering idiots that have crawled out of the woodwork to curry favor with the OM.

Nowadays I thank G-d for those brave men and women in the government who are standing up to this monster. He has brought so much shame to our country. Let's send him more cheeseburgers and french fries to harden his arteries and maybe he'll do it to himself, and we won't have to explain ourselves to anyone, on Earth or in Heaven. But for myself, I hope the f*cker has a stroke. I can't help feeling that way.

He sailed pretty much free all his born days, but he just really wrote his own ticket. Especially on display for the global community to witness.

I have compassion on any who seek repentance and rehabilitation. Haven't seen one iota of any of those efforts from him. He drug his whole family into his messes. Lookit what virtues his spawn exhibit?? Apples falling from tree. They are the fruit of a tree afflicted with a malady/disease.

Sowing and reaping. An eternal, spiritual and basic agricultural law put into motion.


It may be that no explanation will be required for Heaven and Earth...
