Not long ago I posted this. If the Democrats keep the pressure on Trump, he will commit more crimes.

That was an easy prediction, Lol! The Democrats, Schiff are doing a great job. Keep applying the pressure, Trump will destroy himself. That's what narcissists do when you pressure them.

the GOP will not choose country over party in either the House or Senate.

The GOP will force us to win the election AND hope that putin doesnt have a lot to say about what happens on election day.

I also think after all the garbage as been sorted out for the world to see and the Senate votes No, the timing will coincide nicely with election day.

And I believe I once heard that repeating your crimes over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Repeating crimes over and over... that’s right, right?

if he was going to self destruct. He is 73. He is just enjoying himself and will continue to enjoy himself even after being ousted, my opinion. Unless he has to go to prison, which I don't know how that works, if he could ever actually go to prison.

Maybe he's just a basic "very stable genius" psychopath with total delusions.

Maybe he learned from his father's knee (and boot) that every situation can be conned. That every person can be bought/threatened.

And maybe he just learned that the whole "system" (state, local boards, feds, irs, contractors, etc.) could be treated as a joke. An annoyance that should be swatted away hundreds of times until they disappeared.

We say drumpf has no sense of humor. Here's where he's played the biggest joke on us.

Nick Cage’s character just keeps pushing and then has the escaped victim show her face in the doorway to the interview room and Robert Hansen fucking loses it!
This happened yesterday when tRumps victim was testifying against him!

If the Democrats keep the pressure on, Trump will commit more crimes.

If the Democrats take the pressure off, Trump will commit more crimes.

If the Republicans keep beclowing themselves, Trump will commit more crimes.

If the Republicans quit beclowing themselves, Trump will commit more crimes.

If Jupiter is retrograde in Aries, Trump will commit more crimes.

...

What part of this progression escapes you?

When a huge wave of pardons comes that's when we will know he knows he is toast.

We need a Constitutional amendment to change the pardon power of the President.

not as personal favors. I would propose a system where a President could recommend a pardon but carrying it out would require a unanimous vote by the Supreme Court.

dump and "advisors" are in a great place to announce certain actions, cancel, wait, change their minds, etc.

Meanwhile the market see-saws with short and long sales making billions on insider knowledge while normal (pension funds, investors, etc.) are losing all their clothing.

Sat Nov 16, 2019, 04:42 PM
Nov 2019

Remember when President Obama humiliated him at the press club roasting? Trump sought revenge at that moment and what was it alleged that Trump did when he went to the beauty pageant in Moscow? The pee tape thingy was a revenge act. Trump likes public kink so the hookers were paid to pee on the bed that someone big supposedly slept in. In this act, he was showing Putin his future mob boss that he was all in for what would roll out a little over a year later.

Recall the fake escalator ride when he announced his candidacy with the hired temporary Craigslist actors chanting in the background? He even has the balls to pop in to a World Series game to pulse the crowd, then do it again at a NY MMA match.

Whatever that final act is, it will likely be criminal, help Putin and his oligarchs and rally his base for their sad final curtain call. May it be swift and peaceful.
