That has been my crowning fear were the absolute worst come to pass. California stands 100% as everything he loathes, as a physical target for a despicable hater who seeks to leave the ultimate stain upon mankind, I doubt he could choose a more tempting target.

Folks don't seem to realize that the people who launch the nukes don't argue with the order.

The madman in our White House could use the weapons that he showed far too much interest in as a candidate.

the Financial Services Committee. Dimes to donuts says she will be locking horns with the orange one at every turn. Bank on it!


The United States House Committee on Financial Services, also referred to as the House Banking Committee and formerly known as the Committee on Banking and Currency, is the committee of the United States House of Representatives that oversees the entire financial services industry, including the securities, insurance, banking and housing industries. The Financial Services Committee also oversees the work of the Federal Reserve, the United States Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial services regulators. It is currently chaired by Republican Jeb Hensarling from Texas; its Ranking Member is Democrat Maxine Waters from California. Waters has been elected as chair of the committee, and will assume office on January 3rd 2019.

Incoming committee chairs Adam Schiff (Intelligence), Jerrold Nadler (Judiciary), Elijah Cummings (Oversight), Maxine Waters (Financial Services). Together with Nancy, Trump will feel like he's hit with a Cat 5 hurricane without an umbrella (which he can't handle anyway).

I’m living for that day, too.

I want him to be stuck in prison, no chance of parole, lonely and (in his mind, at least) forgotten. No more stupidly long ties, not more fake hair, no more spray tans. No admiring audiences. No power over any one or any thing. Take it all away.

He believes that as president he can act as an absolute monarch, and when he is advised that what he wants to do cannot be done because of the Constitution or because of specific laws, that absolutely enrages him and usually provokes a tweetstorm and an impulsive, destructive act--like the sudden Syria withdrawal.

I hope Pelosi understands the importance of letting us know what she’s doing through press conferences and Twitter. We need a running commentary from all the committees fighting Trump. I hope they televise all the hearings so we can see it all in real time.

If she will go for short term gain over long term gain.

She could rattle the cage now to get support, and then once in, Mrs. "Impeachment is off the table" could decide its best to use that political capital to simply get amendments on Republican bills (....or else!). And just hope that enough voters will respect their usual luke warm strategy of trying not to offend anyone.

Or go all in and work towards removing the President from office no matter the backlash. Which will cause no cooperation, no amendments, and an all out war by Fox News and RW radio to empower their cult.

I like the new sabre rattling Nancy. I just want to see that from her and the senior leadership, when they can actually force the issue come January.
