It's fucking over man...if the Democrats pick up the dropped weapon that is....

He admitted to slowing down testing because “testing makes me look bad?” If Madam speaker pushes for investigations, he’ll drop to the low 30’s high 20’s. Drop the fucking anvil Madam Speaker! Take him out!

That, and voter suppression, are the only two things I fret over.

And before I get lectured: I'm not complacent; I'm just increasingly confident.

If we impeached him on his handling of Coronavirus, it would be a popular impeachment; more popular than Ukrainegate (even though that impeachment was excellent and fully justified).

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-keep-passengers-on-grand-princess-cruise-ship-coronavirus-2020-3
<snip>
Trump said he wants to keep Grand Princess cruise passengers on the ship so that US coronavirus numbers don't 'double.' That strategy failed in Japan.

The Grand Princess cruise ship is sitting off the coast of San Francisco, waiting for the CDC's next instructions after 21 passengers and crew tested positive for the new coronavirus.

President Trump said Friday that despite what experts tell him, he wants to keep passengers and crew on the ship so that coronavirus cases in the US don't "double."

One passenger responded: "He can come on board if he wants and serve us our food and bring me my towel."

And that walk of shame video shows he totally knows it. He’s coming to the realization that he will be absofuckinglutely trounced, his “empire” will collapse, and most importantly...history is going to judge him as the fool he is. I think he’s beginning to realize his “brand” name is going to be a punchline for a long, long time.

but he is incapable of fully admitting it to himself, much less to anyone else. His MO is to fight no matter what. Fight, spin, admit no wrong and no defeat. Ever.

And once he is gone, there are still all of his backers to deal with. I mean people with power and wealth who promote the views that Trump upholds for them. He is their front man.

I don't mean to put a damper on the enthusiasm for getting rid of Trump, his crime family, and his enablers in Congress and the administration. It does look to me now like the beginning of the end is here and I'm delighted abiut it. But I hope we don't forget that people like them will still be in the wings, pushing to get in control again to push their agenda again.

We can never forget and never give up.

called it a hoax created by dems to take trump out and force socialist big govt solutions. that was what 1200 radio stations were repeating, that what those 6000 dittoheads in tulsa believed. the talk radio king would not have done that if trump - his neighbor, golf partner, and implementor of 30 years of accumulated bulllshit fascist racist ayn randian policies did not want it. then he shifted the talk radio operation to downplaying it, saying it's highly exaggerated and a lot of deaths were old people with preexisting conditions and shouldn't have been counted.

people have to consider the very real possibility that at some level the cons learned from using ebola in 2014 to win 9 senate seats and were thinking of using it again. but 2019 ebola in the congo got stopped, along came covid and trump was stupid enough to think it was controllable and they could nourish it up to the 2020 elections and maybe scare the base and call off elections, etc.

he might just be a dupe in all this and lliimbaugh and he actually believe it's a hoax but media needs to find out if some or all of it is by design at other levels.

Don't underestimate the enormous problem competent and uncorrupted American government presented to the personal and national ambitions of all -- and will again if they can't keep us safely defeated in Republican hands.

When Trump's self destructing, a killer pandemic shifting into higher gear, the economy and food supply in peril, and the press are all over Republican corruption, not enough time before the fall to finish a new house investigation, and our own convention coming up, I'm not sure we're going to mount a big distraction that McConnell and company could use. Give 'em all a kick down the ol' ramp now and then, of course, and Nancy and company have their kicking shoes on.

We need to accept that the SOB will hold on to 40 % approval despite any additional crimes we may identify. It's good to pursue him for the crimes but I stopped asking why his approval was so high some time ago. What's scary is that we will have those 40% who still approve of Trump to deal with after he leaves office.

Even though you seem to be slamming the House, the repubs have the Senate. The power they have has shown us why we need to change the Senate. What McConnell can do to stop things should be clear to all. I just wish folks would see how we have to give the Dems the power.

The Dems have done NOTHING about this political gift.

“Why slam the Dems?” Because they forego every political ammo dump they are handed. It’s fucking frustrating man. The GOP would be all over this shit within 24 hours. Look what they did with Benghazi feR fucks sake!

Listen, I’m a loyal democratic voter, it would be helpful if they took advantage of the political gifts that are handed to them.

Even if there are investigations I expect nothing from them.

The Lincoln project is hitting Trump harder than the Dems are.

We have a lot of work to do and can't afford to be overly optimistic. We have to push for a landslide or risk another '16.

cruise ship to get testing and medical assistance because "I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault."

That was three months ago.

We must face the fact that there is nothing he can do or say, at this point, that will cause his hard-core, cultist supporters to not vote for him.

I'm not saying we stop using his words in campaign ads, but the idea that one particular heinous thing he says is a "game changer", or that' it's "fucking over", is wishful thinking.
