Trump was in completely different "voice" during yesterday's "press conference". He looked drained. He was incoherent. He tried his normal deflection, but the vindictive fire we are used to seeing was nothing but wet ashes. The next few days will be telling. 48 hours. That's all we have. What will the testimonies of the acting DNI and the IG turn up? Let's hope both appear and come clean.
The House plans on taking a two-week vacation, beginning this weekend. I fear if we don't see some more developments between now and then, much of the phone memo hype will die down. With history... With the future of this country in the balance, why can't these over-paid elected officials remain in D.C. and attend to business?? If the heat is kept turned up, Trump appears as if he... or his body... is close to imploding. He's overweight. Poor diet. Burning the candle at both ends. Under stresses he has never before seen in his sheltered life. Heart attack? Suicide? Hopefully, not. Would still like to see him indicted and stand trial after defeat in 2020. Still, if this impeachment issue further emboldens his base, there is no guarantee that he will lose at the polls.

Trump was acting like a psycho who had escaped his padded cell. Whacko! Watching the DNI testify in about an hour and a half. The whistleblower complaint has been declassified and will be released today. Can't wait! |

We are watching history play out, just as we did during the Watergate investigation, where there was the slow drip of news that eventually became a full on fire hose of info. The difference between then and now would seem to be that most in the GOP have no sense of duty to uphold their oath to the constitution; instead they feel somehow it's right to remain loyal to a man who is at turns full on crazy and at others acts like a mob boss. Let the facts come out. Either way, as someone was saying just now on Morning Joe, this is a discrete incident that the public will have an easier time digesting. The press smells blood in the water and there will be those inside the WH who decide to protect themselves before they protect the Orange Haired one who sits in the Oval. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride as they say.

Still, if this impeachment issue further emboldens his base, there is no guarantee that he will lose at the polls. Certainly nothing is guaranteed, but Trump is stuck at 40% and this can't help him. Those swing voters who took a chance on him over "corrupt Hillary", they're long gone by now I predict, or they certainly will be in the lead up to the election. Trump increasingly looks unstable and most voters will see that play out as this drags on. Those that took a chance in 2016 will no longer take that risk. Sure there will be diehard fans, who think the president can do no wrong. You're never going to change them, but everything had to fall into place for Trump to win in 2016. I just don't see that as a likely scenario this time around unless the Dems are so incompetent (again) that they can't exploit all Trump's weaknesses and nominate a candidate that most can get behind. I think by the time we get to next year, the majority of the electorate will be so sick of Trump, they will cast him out in droves. |

It is my opinion the Democrats should not let what Trump or his moronic supporters might say or do affect any decisions they make. They have a very long list of documented and damning evidence against Donald Trump and I hope they hang it all out for the world to see, they should not worry about 'what ifs' when they are holding such cards.

Watching Rachel now! Good stuff! I bet Rachel is at her best, discecting and commenting on the criminal-clown show! Poor Trump he is his worse enemy I really think deep down really deep down he is a creep  I never gave Trump a moment's thought, until he entered the 2016 election race and opened his mouth to reveal exactly how much of a creep he really is. |

I knew vaguely about Trump back in the 80's I think and I always thought he was creepy. I went to one of his casinos in Atlantic City in the 80's. |
