When Donald Trump stepped to the dais at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, he had a speech full of sharp lines: swipes at socialism, assertions of nationalism versus globalism, harsh words for Iran. Though Trump doesn’t enjoy delivering scripted remarks, he sounded listless, tired, and bored even by his own standards, struggling through the speech.
The president had a good reason to be distracted. The same morning, he had spoken on the phone with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, trying to stem a growing tide of Democratic demands for his impeachment. According to NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, Trump asked Pelosi whether there was some way they could make a deal. Pelosi said the White House had to release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress, as required by statute. “Tell your people to obey the law,” she said.
After weeks of defiance, Trump seemed to change course. Yesterday afternoon, he announced that the White House would release a transcript of his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Later in the day, Politico’s Nancy Cook reported that the White House would release the whistle-blower complaint to Congress.
It was not enough to satisfy Pelosi. At 5 p.m. yesterday, she stepped before microphones in Washington and announced an “official impeachment inquiry,” with her support, into the president. It’s still unclear what this means materially, but it rattled Trump. At home in Trump Tower, he was stunned, believing that he’d managed to put Pelosi off in their morning conversation, according to CNN.
Chaos is a constant in the Trump administration, but this week there are signs of a far rarer impulse: panic. The indications come in Trump’s demeanor, including the listless speech; a combative, brief press availability with Zelensky at the UN this morning; and a rambling, stream-of-semi-consciousness press availability this afternoon.

I don’t belive this. I do believe he spoke to the *itch regarding gun control legislation. I do not believe he would trade our 2A rights away in exchange for no impeachment.
Neighbor woman looking out the window:
"Harve, isn't it much too early for deer season? There must be twenty five guys going by armed to the teeth."
Harve: "Relax, honey. Now where did I store all those extra boxes of ammo?"
“If anything he is trying to save democrats from themselves....”
He’d be better served letting the Dems crash and burn. We’re headed towards a resolution with these bastards, and the more they suffer the better off everyone will be.
He certainly did seem subdued at his UN speech. I don’t think he is panicked though, I think he is probably fed up and tired. I wouldn’t blame him one little bit if he just up and quit but I hope he sticks it out.

Yep, one more thing Paul Ryan didn’t bother defunding.
I don’t know what speech this buffoon was watching, but I saw his speech to the UNGA and it was one of his best.
I like it when they spread fear, underestimate Trump, and set their base up for extreme disappointment.
...the final movement.

Unfortunately, not. There is no finality to revolution, sedition and treason. These actors intend to first make the USA into a hellhole and then to take it over and rebuild it in the image of North Korea under their own personal domination.
They will never quit. Indictments, prosecutions, executions will only drive the remnant underground.
We will be fighting them for the rest of our lives, no matter our current ages.
Teach the children well, because they already have.
Pure projection.

No way is he fed up and tired. I think he is hurt to see the leftists hating this country to such an extent
Trump knows that it is not him that they are attacking, it is us. He’s mad and that’s his mad voice. I think. When my late father used to get angry at us kids for bad decisions and he needed to set us straight, he’d get the quiet articulate “we’ve just turned a corner, we’re going to get to the truth” voice
I thought that was what I was seeing.
Graham looks like a little, old woman.
He’s missing his hot chocolate and pajamas.
Lying Democrat scum.
...he is probably fed up and tired...

He had just completed 31 successful one-on-one trade and security negotiations with heads of state, besides everything else on his plate.
He is 3 years younger than me and I marvel at his stamina and fortitude.
Love it! Thanks for the mention...
