Trump should pardon Assange & hold a news conference where Assange spills it all. Then we will see who is cornered.

How has he failed? The Fed is expecting 4% annualized GDP growth this quarter.

Heck, if I wasn’t so convinced that Trump is mostly a dunce who is making all of this up as he goes along, I might actually think that he planned all of this brilliantly.

You just stick to that delusion zeig - Trump doesn't know a single thing about nuttin!

> Trump’s base is almost all white and very few white people who support him will be remotely offended by what he said.

This guy is a real genius. No one with a brain would be offended by what Trump said: “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides – on many sides.”

These idiots who couldn’t tell the difference between what Palin said and a TV skit are the same idiots who transmute Trump’s condemnation “in the strongest possible terms” into endorsement!

They are mentally ill.

A southern GOP Senator has lambasted Trump as incompetent. Three White House advisory boards have been disbanded because prominent business people no longer want to be associated with him. Trump properties are losing big business because of the blowback. Betting houses are giving basically even money on wagers that he will be impeached. Even the CEO of the company which owns Trump’s favorite state-run “news” organization, Fox News, is very publicly rebuking him.

Most of the Swamp is beginning to look like baby Harp seals to Trump supporters...

The mainstream media has almost no influence (except perhaps in an inverse direction) on Trump’s base, and the more outraged they become the more fired up his fans get.

Baby Harp seals, redux.

You'd better run, you Uniparty b*tchez...

He goes on to say the wall won’t be built.

Take it for what it’s worth.

Yes, the speech struck me as rather anodyne. Lots of the usual stuff about unity, loving each other, etc.

Like Donald J. Trump, I was raised (until @ 10) in the Queens borough of NYC. For all my life I’ve known folks from Queens, who grew up there during the same years as Trump. They have a certain way of talking. Let’s say it’s pretty direct, and unaffected.

The “grab” word is used for everything, usually in lieu of ‘get’. They ‘grab’ absolutely everything, and none of it is illegal, or untoward. They ‘grab lunch” or ‘grab a cup of coffee” or ‘grab a cab’ .. they grab things. All perfectly legit. When DJT spoke of grabbing female private parts, he was not talking about walking down the street and grabbing a$$. If he were from someplace other than Queens he might have spoken of “getting *****.” That would have been more acceptable (in the mode, say, of Bill Clinton).

Most of the “6,” “5,” “4” or lower women who marched against him with their stupid hats and “don’t grab mine” signs wouldn’t get a second look from him. He’s only ever grabbed “10s.”

This whole Charlotteville was so contrived. Nothing grassroots about it at all. We had Obama, our first black President, for the last 8 years. How many confederate statues were removed? Why is it so important now? The Democrats had it handed to them in 2016 and with the financial backing of George Soros they are trying to make issues out of non issues just to keep their base interested. It’s not working.

To steal a quote from Conrad Black, “The campaign of defamation against Trump will fail, and if the Democrats and pseudo-Republicans don’t get to higher ground soon, Trump will pull together the responsible Right and most of the center and wax the (Elizabeth) Warren Democrats by a margin that will make the Nixon and Reagan reelections look like photo-finishes.”

“While publicly I was insisting that Trump couldn’t win a general election, behind the scenes I was urgently warning my good friend, Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth, that the Clinton campaign was going about it all the wrong way..” Oh yeah?

I stopped reading right there. How convenient that he was publicly wrong, but privately so precient. I believe him. NOT!

– Trump was never thought to be strong on Civil Rights issues and therefore there is no shock/disappointment factor among average Americans.

The best among the many things about President Trump is that he is strong on the most important of all civil rights - the right of each individual to be treated equally by government. There is a reason the idealized Lady Justice wears a blindfold.

The Founders never envisioned today's lawyers. :(
