(7,809 posts)He himself knew that people were trying to tell him to act like a normal person for years - but he laughed about it and mocked the notion.
To hell with him. He had his chance and blew it badly.

(27,814 posts)... if Dumbass thought she meant that if his "people obeyed the law" by releasing the whistle-blower's complaint, that would be the end of the issue.

(32,639 posts)If Mitch is dumping Chump - and that looks to be the case now - impeachment is the last thing Chump wants. Chump will do nothing but delay and obfuscate from here on out.

(9,988 posts)While most of Kentucky is ruby red, many farmers there have been seriously hurt by Trumps stupid trade wars. And if you want to bring foreign powers into the election, what might the Chinese have to say about the Chao family and the influence their money has purchased? There was also that incident some years ago of drugs smuggled into the US on a family ship. Some voters in Kentucky are also just tired of Mitch and his permanent role of obstructing anything but tax cuts for the richthough many do like his putting rabid, racist, right-wing judges on the federal bench.

I saw a post yesterday on DU, even Mitt Romney is signalling that he's ready to bail on this fiasco. Chump will be gone even before winter hits. I'm guessing either Chump will outright resign (soon) or he'll sit back and watch another right-winger receive the nod in the GOP primary run.
Whoever runs for president for the GOP is wasting his time, they'll just put out a sacrificial lamb. Remember George McGovern in 1972? They'll put up a candidate even weaker than McGovern, I'm thinking. Mitt Romney won't want to lose again, I'm sure. Maybe Rand Paul or Ted Cruz? I don't know & don't care.

Delay until tomorrow, then come up with another excuse or lie. Rinse and repeat.

(15,286 posts)last night. He said he was surprised at the unanimous consent agreement to demand the whistleblower complaint be sent to the senate intelligence committee. He said the Rs he talked to earlier in the day were supporting the WH's refusal to turn it over, but something changed between his informal discussions and the vote.

(50,270 posts)They've had days to cook up a new version and it will only make things worse since the whistleblower is going to testify. Kind of like Nixon's transcripts being compared to the Watergate tapes. No match.
lark
(23,099 posts)Also shows how very stupid he is. Like Pelosi is dumb enough to ever trust you in a deal after you've burned her and the caucus so many times. It's almost laughable how stupid and ignorant and out of touch with reality he truly is - if he weren't holding the office of president.
