You can smell the desperation.

[RDANGELO]

The courts are siding with the house Democrats on getting Trumps financial records. The state of New York is giving them his tax records. He has stated that he is not going to work with the Democrats as long as they are investigating him. Trump is trying to put political pressure on them to stop the investigations because that is all he has left. It won't work. The financial records are going to screw him, and he knows it.

1. I can smell it all the way to Oakland, CA

And it's only going to get worse for him.

[mr_lebowski]

3. I wonder if you can smell it even inside Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles ...

Cause damn, I'd sure like to find that out right about now ...

[wryter2000]

14. Don't know if we have Roscoe's here

We do have amazing food, though.

[mr_lebowski]

16. Sorry, place I was thinking of is called Home of Chicken & Waffles

in JLS.

Some grub from Lois the Pie Queen, Emil Villa's (or the place formerly known as Emil Villa's) Hick'ry Pit, or a Nation's burger would also hit the spot ... with some Fenton's Ice Cream for desert!

I'll be in the Bay in about 48 hours, so

[wryter2000]

20. Right

Emil Villa's is still around, but not in Oakland, I'm very sad to say. There's one in San Leandro not far from my house. I live on the Oakland/San Leandro border in "the hundreds."

Mmmm, Fenton's. You know Oaktown.

Speaking of JLS, there's a great tasting room there now. Rosenblum. They used to be in Alameda. And of course, Yoshi's is still going strong.

36. My O-Town Hood!!!

Grew up at the top of Seminary near the Old Chabot Observatory...haven't seen the new one yet!

[wryter2000]

37. I grew up on the East Coast

But when I landed in Oakland, I knew I was home. Seeing Tower of Power at the Fox Theater in August.

[proud patriot]

5. I can smell it from Hawaii

[wryter2000]

15. That is some long-distance stink

[proud patriot]

27. LOL

2. I love it when the rats run.

[Grasswire2]

4. peeeeyooooooie. nt

[Mme. Defarge]

6. I predict the pResident will either resign

the office before the end of his term so that Pence can pardon him, or simply disappear into the night on a private jet headed for a country with no extradition treaty with the U.S. Throwing Bill and Steve and ever other remaining loyalist under the bus as is true to form.

[grantcart]

8. He will sustain a "massive medical event" and resign so Pence can pardon him.

He will then avoid NY State at all costs.

[Mme. Defarge]

10. That's it!

Précisément!!

[Moostache]

19. prefer a real massive medical event...

hope his black heart implodes and takes me to the great beyond with all haste...

[onlyadream]

26. I was hoping this very thing for Cheney

but they had to go and give him a non-blackened heart.

[sop]

33. The only medical treatment for his condition will be in Moscow

n/t

[grantcart]

31. See you are kinder than me

My choice is that he have a series of small strokes during a televised dinner and we watch as he attempts to eat and soup is dribbled down his face and he takes an hour to regain muscle control while his his face is contorted into a series of comedic photos that become iconic images that are laughed at for centuries.

And then he goes down hill from there.

34. In a nursing home being changed by angry Mexican immigrant women

21. Like this?:

pootie-poot, his amour, beckoning... 😘

[smirkymonkey]

7. You are soooooo guilty, fat boy.

I hope you burn in hell.

[FreeBe]

9. I agree. I have been hoping for his taxes. It looks like we may get them.

[kentuck]

11. Smells like....

[FreeBe]

13. We have been saying this for at least two years.

A year, anyway. All us Democrats should get a pat on the back for taking it on the chin time and time again, and still pushing forward for the take down. It does kinda feel like Trump is doomed, from so many different angles, investigations. I have always felt criminal Trump was too stupid to hide his financial crimes. Uncaring about them. Those are on paper. The crimes do not just evaporate like all the other crap he pulls.

[stopdiggin]

12. can he actually be charged?

Sincerely hope you're right, but .. I've been amazed (thus far) at just how "meh" the court of public opinion has been about Trump's finances. Including tax evasion, not PAYING taxes, screwing contractors and business partners, bankruptcy and default, Russian money .. A lot of this is already public record, public knowledge. It all seems to be "business as usual" to a lot of folks. Can't figure it out .. but there you have it.

[japple]

17. I love the smell of "desperation" in the morning.

[BigmanPigman]

22. "Smells ...smells like...victory".

"Someday, this war is gong to end...." I sure as hell hope we have victory damn soon!

[sprinkleeninow]

18. So strong in our area, had to buy way extra room freshener! 😆

[pdsimdars]

23. Kinda like those flood victims. They start to see the breach and then their house is washed away.

[marieo1]

24. Odor of desperation

It can't happen soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I have never been so disgusted with anything in my life - and it just keeps going and going. When is it going to stop?

[not fooled]

25. Another hollow threat

pukes were already not working with Dems for the most part and mcturtle wouldn't let anything meaningful to Dems get through the Senate, anyway, so red don's just making another empty threat. Tantrum time!

[Xolodno]

28. Well it sure ain't Teen Spirit. nt.

[patphil]

29. Yellow hair down their too

Trump just peed his pants.

Patrick Phillips

[DBoon]

30. The odor is the stench of hell

Satan is back. Doesn't want Trump's soul anymore. Wants to return it and get his money back.

[Maru Kitteh]

32. Yeah baby! And it smells like lilacs and fresh rain.

[dflprincess]

35. The courts are siding with the law

It just happens that that is the side House Democrats are on.

[UniteFightBack]

39. Seeing this after I posted....+10000

[UniteFightBack]

38. Wrong. The courts are not siding with the Democrats, they are siding with the LAW !

[dflprincess]

40. Great minds!
