2. What can be said that hasn't been said before?

I'm beginning to think that McConnell and his gang of miscreants are laughing their asses off because Trumpy is so upsetting to the rest of the nation. It's as if they still view Trumpy as their practical joke on the nation and the world.

4. I was talking on that other thread to you about hypocrisy

If any living Democrat had ordered Navy Seal's to their death while they tweeted in their bathrobes about how unfair a journalist was being to them by telling the truth, that Democrat would have to be taken away by the SS and hid in a secret location until they died.

Their life would not be protectable (not a word, I know) in society.

Fuckface Von Pussygrabber does it and not a peep.

Therefore they dont believe in rules for themselves, they hate democracy, etc.

8. there is going to be a point where republicans abandon Trump

...they are more than corrupt liars - they are weak and craven pols.

There are specific points of opposition which are more consequential than others. What interests me here is the nexus of his detachment from the business of the state and national security to focus on this nepotism and Trump family opportunism, complete with his continued bullying of free-enterprise.

It's important that we maintain and make clear our own values, as we confront and highlight the absence of theirs.

9. And how do we hold any future president to the rules all past ones have, now that

Fuckface and the GOP have made it clear NONE of the rules, and I mean NONE apply to them and only to us?

I say we are beyond the ability to recover from their actions. For me it is about one simple thing now, nukes.

Some nation has to do something that convinces us that we must take them away from him. I have conceded my social security, medicare, etc. Sure I will fight to my death for them, but I am certain they will take them

But never give up, never give in, never.

..but I'm not surrendering my own values, just because they've abandoned theirs.

I don't think that precludes throwing out the normal playbook when confronting them. I don't believe anything said here by the Dem leader precludes any of that.

5. Ivanka's brand is a matter of national security!

Why doesn't the fake news understand that by companies dropping Ivanka's clothing and shoe and jewelry lines we are putting the nation at risk!

And don't even talk about the damage done by damaging Melania's plans to bedazzle America with what would have been her impeccably anti-terrorist jewels and feathered undergarments and perfume!

7. Why does one shot of the tweet say 7:51AM - is that PST? When I click Weir's link it shows 7:51AM

When I link to it, it shows the 10:51am.

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

15. Spice-Boy says it was not sent during the PDB.

If true, it was a very short PDB, probably because Trump was starting to nod off when it began.

Muslim ban = failed. Yemen raid = failed. Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed. Economic utopia = failed. Grade point average = 0.
