(1,474 posts)trump is horrified by what is coming. A coward with power is dangerous, but fortunately for us, he is a hateful idiot. Mueller and a Democratic Congress. A country that hates him (Hell, the world hates him). Be afraid orange boy. Be very afraid!

(82,849 posts)Indeed, it's hard to feel optimistic about everything, and some of the losses yesterday really stung. But take heart and be of good cheer as you watch Trump and his Republican toadies eat their shriveled little hearts out today. We didn't run the table, but we sure took 'em to the cleaners in a LOT of places and races.

"Truth" is a word that IQ45 doesn't know, has never heard, and certainly doesn't understand.

(38,414 posts)Because of what Trump is, and what he has done with his money and his "associations" this will make the investigation into Hillary's emails look like a mild dusting of a table top...
..There is something real to investigate with Trump. Look at who has been indicted and made deals with Mueller..Why do you suppose "deals were made?" Because these people are guilty..and they are looking for a "deal" Give it time, indictments are coming soon....I ain't in charge..but that is what I think. We all know that indictments are coming and guess who will get indicted???
