Let's say there is a "Blue Wave" of historic proportions..Who does Trump blame?

1. fake news?
2. lack of republican's working for election?
3. lies that the Democratic Party told? (that's a good one)
4. Hillary Clinton?
5. lack of money?
6. Barack Obama?
7. Supreme Court?
8. MSNBC?

He always blames someone else...Who does he blame?

Trump says he didn't do anything wrong...No collusion, no illegal activities during campaign, and he calls Mueller's investigation a "witch hunt"

If Trump didn't do anything wrong, what is he worried about?

If that is true, that Trump and his crowd will be totally innocent. If that is a lie, then some of his crowd will be found guilty by a jury and go to jail. It really is that simple.

Last month Trump started calling it "Muller's Rigged Witch Hunt" not just the "Witch Hunt".

..As he repeats that new term over and over and over...as if it were an "old" term, I get the feeling that Trump will fire Mueller. By repeating the new term, over and over and over...Trump is hoping to convey the idea, that Muller is rigging the investigation. It is now Mueller's Rigged and not just that "Witch Hunt" we have heard so much about. Yes, those four words are a new term..!!! Why change the name of the investigation and include extra words? I looked it up, and he always referred to in the past as a "Witch Hunt." Does anyone have different information?

...Yes, "Mueller's Rigged Witch Hunt" in my opinion is a bad sign. If Trump does fire Mueller, then what?. Trump has been told not to fire Muller by many of his own party. But this change of terms is a bad sign in my opinion. ..If it happens, Then What?

Time, and how Trump wastes it..."Tweets"

So Trump tweets and then tweets again. People discuss them and then there is more. Is there something else the President of the United States could be doing to help someone, somehow and in some way? If Trump spends time thinking about the next morning "tweet", couldn't that time be spent doing something else? There are so many other helpful things he could do besides these morning "tweets." Trump's use of time this way says a lot more about him than he knows.

Do you have a place to live?.. 223,000 in India are homless due to a monsoon..

Worst monsoon in a century..

Orlando Florida has a population of about 275,000. If you can picture that city, it would mean 80 percent of all people living there would be homeless...(monsoon - is a shift in the wind during an entire season, like a few months, .....hurricane - an individual storm system)

GOP Guv Candidate Compares Wait at DMV to Holocaust, TPM:

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ca-gop-guv-candidate-compares-dmv-wait-holocaust

Well.............Stupid is..... What Stupid Is...(can't make this up, hit the link, this is a real)

The Republican candidate for governor of California paid a visit to a DMV on Wednesday and casually compared standing in line at the notoriously sedate agency to surviving the Holocaust, Capital Public Radio reported.

The campaign for the Republican candidate and businessman John Cox later clarified that Cox — who has been visiting DMV’s to point out the failings of the agency — misspoke. In audio of the event recorded by Capital Public Radio, Cox introduces himself to a woman and asks her how long she’s been waiting in line. The woman says she’s been in line “close to an hour,” provoking Cox to launch into a diatribe recounting a conversation he’d had previously with a Holocaust survivor.

“You know, I met a Holocaust survivor in Long Beach. He survived concentration camps, and he said this was worse. He’s 90 years old and he had to wait four hours down in Long Beach. Can you imagine that?” Cox says, according to the Capital Public Radio audio. .........................................

Later the campaign spokesman said this:

His campaign spokesperson told the local radio station that Cox misspoke when he called the lines “worse” than the Holocaust. They also gave Capital Public Radio an audio recording of Cox sharing the same story, but accurately, earlier this week.

“He was saying that it reminded him of pre-war Germany” when Jewish people waited in lines to be processed, Cox spokesperson Matt Shupe told the radio station. “In no way does he mean this as a slight to the Jewish community. He misspoke. It’s very unfortunate. But it’s nothing more than that.”

Senate Candidate Provokes Ire With ‘Legitimate Rape’ Comment

By JOHN ELIGON and MICHAEL SCHWIRTZ ...AUG. 19, 2012

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In an effort to explain his stance on abortion, Representative Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee from Missouri, provoked ire across the political spectrum on Sunday by saying that in instances of what he called “legitimate rape,” women’s bodies somehow blocked an unwanted pregnancy.

Asked in an interview on a St. Louis television station about his views on abortion, Mr. Akin, a six-term member of Congress who is backed by Tea Party conservatives, made it clear that his opposition to the practice was nearly absolute, even in instances of rape.

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
