Good Lord, This Australian PM is fellating Trump

It’s disgusting the fawning he’s doing over Trump.

Trumps notes with written questions really scary

Look at these notes/questions.
Is this what he needs to conduct a question and answer session?
Does he have to remind himself (#5) to be a human being?
Did he even write these questions or did he need someone to give them to him as if he were a fifth grader.
Scary, indeed.

Why is this question never asked about gun violence?

How have other countries successfully dealt with this issue?

Family conversation about authoritarianism

Liberal Atheist: “I now get why you Evangelicals still support Trump”.
Conservative Evangelical: “yeah, what is that”
LA: “Because you worship white male authority figures, real or imagined”.

Will GOP parents of Fla School side with their party or their kids?

So, if these students are now going to get involved in politics, they will face backlash.
Maybe even in their own homes.
I can just hear GOP parents saying that the gun control issue is much more complicated than the children think. Don’t listen to the liberal media, blah, blah,blah.
Plus, they will say it is only one issue.
And that Dems are wrong in all other ones like abortion and high taxes.
So, you shouldn’t vote out Republicans on the gun issue alone.

Will be interesting to hear from some of these students in a few months and hear what they have heard at home and how it has affected their opinion.

Does Mueller have the authority to access tax returns?

If so, I would think he knows a whole lot more than we think.
I’d love to see Trump, Kushner, and Manaforts returns.

Should Democrats nationalize the gun control issue for November?

In my mind, so many of our current nations problems started with Gores “loss”.
I remember a few months before that election hearing some democratic strategists say that Gore needed to soften his stance on guns for him to win.
There was a lot of talk about if he did this he would probably win his home state of Tennessee.
Of course, that would have changed the election.

I also remember after Bush “won” hearing a lot of Dems post mortems on the election.
Again, many said that for Dems to win again (especially in rural America) that they could not continue to support all three of abortion rights, gay rights, and gun control measures.
I do believe that a conscious decision was made to keep supporting the first two but to drop or de-emphasize the gun issue.
Polling showed it was the “smart” thing to do.
The NRA was just too powerful.
Then with Citizens United and “corporations are people”, unlimited amounts of money started pouring in from the NRA and others who interpret the Second Amendment in such broad terms that all types of weaponry sales, swaps, etc. should be 100% protected without govt interference or regulation.

And, here we are again. With another mass shooting. They are rising, not slowing.
What do we (Dems) do now?
Would emphasizing this issue help us win back the House and the Senate in November or would it work against us as it has so many times in the past?
Tough question.
And I don’t know the answer.

Someone explain Carter Page to me?

Is there a real chance that he is a Russian spy?
I’ve seen him interviewed a few times and he came off as quite a strange duck.

Who in your life do you hope will apologize for voting for Trump?

Most of us have at least one family member, friend, or co-worker in our lives that really disappointed us when we learned they voted for Trump.
Mine is a niece.
Not racist. Not a bigot. Just someone who always wants lower taxes and always votes Repub.
Anyway, we don’t discuss politics.
I learned from her Facebook page that she voted for Trump.
I’m hoping that the Mueller report will make her sorry she voted for him.

Would love to hear some stories from people on who they really want to hear an “I’m sorry” or “I was wrong” for voting for Trump from.
Also, tell me if you’ve already heard this from someone in your life.

What SPECIFICS will Mueller say about Trump.

Here’s my guesses:
Money Laundering
Obstruction of Justice
Violating Emoluments clause

I think that is it.
He will not use words such as treason, collusion, or conspiracy.
