Donald J. Trump won't come back from Mar-a-lago after Xmas vacation IMHO

This is just my vanity post.

And I may very well be wrong about it. He will need weeks/months to work on some deal with whoever offers one- Republicans in Congress, Mueller, FBI, DOJ, NY State Attorney etc. It's a long fucking list.

So who knows when he leaves. He might just make into 2019 as POTUS but only just.

I thought something was up when, prior to her interview, she started holding hands with him in public and that odd, once in the past two years, there, there pat on his back that she did to him.

And yes, you are correct, there he squats yet in our White House.

But yet, I wish for a Xmas miracle (I'm agnostic).

Come on Xmas miracle.

Being Agnostic the best I can wish for is an Xmas miracle.

It just wouldn't be right asking any deity, demi-god, godlet, superhuman or omnipotent being, burning bush, superintelligence, Morgan Freeman or George Burns, or any number of old white males with lovely long flowing white hair, gray beards and wearing a robe and carrying a staff, not even if they're wearing a wizard's hat.

Nope. As an Agonstic I don't ask for help as I merely believe there's no one capable of help. Its just us humans, you and me.

So no, no Christmas miracle. I'm just asking for an Xmas miracle. That's as far as I can go.

Can't get cooler than Miles Davis, and the lyrics are sublime!

This goes to top of my Xmas songs list.

For your gift of this wonderful song I give you Hoseannas, and much thanks. Gracias! A fine holiday season gift.

And I wish you happy holidays.

As well as a Merry Xmas my friend.

All the best!

... but he'll never stop tweeting! If he can manage it, he'll still make appearances at "re-election" rallies so he can keep billing the re-election campaign for every penny. When that money runs out, he'll be done.

I’m still kinda stuck on trump trying to make a getaway in the middle of the night. Maybe helicoptered away from Mar-a-Lago, under the cover of darkness. Behind all those hedges in the wee hours when there won’t be as many eyes around to notice. Then they helicopter to one of the Keys or some little island - where another helicopter awaits to airlift him to some other little island close to some Central or South American country - or maybe does Gitmo have a runway for jets? Then it’d be off to the Crimea or Slovenia to hide out and hope the fuss dies down.

Which it won’t, of course. There’d be an international manhunt initiated by rogue entities with mercenaries on the payroll. Or even Putin? At that point, he might regard The Donald as not such a valuable asset anymore.

1) Got elected
2) Faked his Obamacare fix
3) Got his Tax cut
4) Obama's economy was booming

He could have declared victory and left. Now ... its getting really stinky out there.

Matter of fact, I've been here from the beginning. Well maybe within 3 months of the beginning. I first learned of Democratic Underground the day of George W. Bush's inauguration back in January 2001. I saw the hand made DU sign on TV that day and I've been here ever since.

No no, I remember Fitzmas very well. I didnt get too over excited when I read that Turd Blossom was to be arrested. No matter how many 'business days' away I was told it was. I watched the fizzle, the downfall, and the fallout of it all.

I tend to wait til more than one source breaks a story. Always did.

Will Trump really quit next month- probably not. But I don't think he makes another 12 months. I think he does what he did at the end of his Barack Obama birth certificate fiasco. After years (and years and years) as leading Birther, Donald J. Trump declared victory in the matter. Saying he won the Birther Wars, that Obama isnt American, he crongatulaed himself, ran away and then never mentioned it again.

No really, DJT claimed victory in the Birther Wars. Then ran away. You could look it if you don't believe me.

He'll claim victory. Congratulation himself. And then run away.

It's what he does.

I don't think he will get removed or resign. I think he will be voted out of office in 2020.
