So the Russians laid a big turd on the Oval Office rug and Trump did not see it?

That is about what the White House would have us believe about the Russian bounty scandal. Any intelligence report of that nature would have landed on the President's desk immediately upon confirmation. Any information to the contrary is just not believable.

Or he isn't in charge of anything and has no control over imporant matters.

Bill Kristol appears to suspect Trump will announce he will not run for reelection. The tweet is at bottom of page.

Trump has cancelled his trip to his New Jersey country club this weekend, so will presumably be at the White House. If memory serves, President Johnson made his surprise announcement that he wouldn’t seek renomination or reelection in 1968 on a Sunday night, from the White House.

yesterday.. & I thought I read around here that blotus did go golfing.

trump is subhuman..Putin's puppet. I don't think he will resign.

With MerRX it's hard to know anything. I just hope his Acts of Treason don't go down the rabbit hole.

Steve Schmidt and Carville are 2 I remember from yesterday. There is, I think, a build up going on.

And don't forget, August is supposed to be HELL for him.

reverse psychology.

Part of Biden's statement on The Bounty..

“Not only has he failed to sanction or impose any kind of consequences on Russia for this egregious violation of international law, Donald Trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before Vladimir Putin... "

trump flaunts it. Will he end up being sorry he's such a flaunter?

And, of course, Hillary warned us...

But I think he knows he'd be called a "quitter" and a "loser" if he announced it (even though he'd probably say it's for "health" reasons), so I suspect he'll be hanging on and try to fuck this country up even more before he's gone in January.

And if he surprises me and announces his resignation in the near future, it probably would be on the assurance that Pence will pardon him. Then we'll probably be looking at a Pence-Romney ticket in November.

probably nothing, but, hey, okay: it's that you're in hock up to your eyebrows with the Russian mob. Like I said, probably nothing, but just some advice, don't get in hock to them. I mean, I know you wouldn't, but if you did it would be, well, let's say, some not-so-good news for you, kid. Not that you did, of course, because you wouldn't. Well, enough of that, unless it comes up again. Oh, speaking of which ... "
