Donald! Trump!

But according to his Twitter Trump still thinks that he won last night.

It’s almost a shame Ninny isn’t here to tell us how this was an unbridled success for him, and he’s got everyone right where he wants them. Couldn’t have gone better.

He didn’t lose as badly as some people expected which is disappointing, now let’s some tax returns.

Trump has done enough to take himself down

Has he?  By losing one house he now has someone else to blame when the economy collapses.  If he still had a free hand, then all f***ups over the next 2 years would have been down to him, now they’re not.  He’s done enough to give himself a better chance of being re-elected.

Has he?  By losing one house he now has someone else to blame when the economy collapses.

Nothing to do with that, meetings with the wrong people, money from the wrong places, debts to the wrong institutions, some of his direct interference in various departments (census is the recent one) all point to some very difficult times ahead for him.

Muller isn’t onto nothing and some of that dirt will stick with the greater Republicans rather than what people think is his base.

After that he can move onto his mistakes in politics

The one good thing about the result is that he does have less power over the investigations and investigators so I hope you’re right

As he ^ said. Trump will be over the moon with this result. He didn’t want to be president and now he can go back to being a campaigner and he can blame someone else that his policies aren’t being enacted.

It’s clear that the actual ‘being president’ bit bores him, it’s the fight and showmanship he enjoys.

If he’s not impeached can he be arrested and charged with various crimes once he’s no longer president? Obviously a lot of investigations are going on and while he’s president he has a certain level of protection but once he’s out I’m guessing hesh fair game.

Yes though he has pardon powers….. simple version is it’s complicated, probably would end up in the Supreme court and would certainly have nothing to do with getting Kavanagh into the court with his views/interpretation on executive privilege

Hopefully Trump will have many more successes like this one.

His shitehouse press conference is entertaining, his aides have wrestled the mic from Jim Acosta (CNN)

Well he certainly plays guilty very well

It’s almost a shame Ninny isn’t here to tell us how this was an unbridled success for him, and he’s got everyone right where he wants them. Couldn’t have gone better.

I kind of miss him as well. The place was more entertaining, I think we were too mean to him. We spoiled our own fun.

Well I kind of imagined him while Trump was delivering he we won speech and trying to shut down/ignore any awkward question he was asked.

It was depressing to think that was the voice of somebody who claims to be a leader

And Trump fires Sessions – sorry he resigns on request. Muller needs to be watching his back there….

Nothing to see here, nothing at all

In will step Lyndsey Graham to shut down the investigation

Oh and a handy guide as to how to get a new AG

In will step Lyndsey Graham to shut down the investigation

Except Congress will now be protecting rather than undermining it.

How quickly can this all unravel?

When Maggie went it was pretty quick from what I remember, different situation I know.

Maggie was taken down from within the party, the Republican party so far have proven to be weak brown nosing pathetic sycophants, there seems to be no will to challenge him.

Meuller not stupid, he would be prepared for this.

There’s a reason trump’s moving swiftly, Meuller has to wait until after election is finished.

Even tho investigation far from over he’ll need to get stuff out there fast.

Let’s hope he does as Arron Banks russian contacts now being looked at too.

It’s all about the 💲💲💲💲

Recall: several DOJ and FBI officials who have investigated Trump’s campaign have extensive experience in probing money laundering and organized crime. That's not an accident. Trump has attacked those officials directly. That's also not likely an accident. https://t.co/outUebEVE6 https://t.co/NTgl5G1EMy

his aides have wrestled the mic from Jim Acosta (CNN)

And as a result Acosta has been accused of “placing his hands on a young woman” and has lost his press pass to the Whitehouse.

Amazing diversionary tactics from the orange one.

Link to said hand placement

At no point did jim acosta place his hands on her

Looks more like the aide attempted to grab the mic before dropping to her knees and assuming the position.

The Whitehouse have released a video of the “assault”, which appears to have been doctored compared to the original live NBC footage!

You’d think the pres who, let’s remember, would go into a school unarmed to tackle a gunman, would’ve stopped Acosta in the act, to stick up for the intern wouldn’t you?

Wouldn’t you?

before dropping to her knees and assuming the position.

In accordance with normal White House procedure?

Bit of a battle brewing in Justice at the moment, having just seen the videos from the press conf too it’s looking very desperate there how many rational people need to look the other way now?

I love how male alt-righters suddenly care about a woman apparently getting assaulted. It seems the only time they do believe them is when they are verifiably lying!

Did you see her sit down to trumps command. Like a robot.

He is a nasty piece of work. I just can’t understand how he’s the leader of the free world.

This episode takes it to another level.

it looks like he made a grab for her pussy.
perfectly acceptable in chumps world

It’s not like we didn’t know, but it’s nice to see prosecutors are building a case

He’s cried off a visit to  war cemetery due to a bit of rain.

Well unless it was raining

The Whitehouse have released a video of the “assault”, which appears to have been doctored compared to the original live NBC footage!

Apparently the video was cobbled together from a downloaded GIF by the bloke behind the far-right Infowars website.

Good to see Agent Orange likes to surround himself with like-minded people…

How tragic that cadet bone spurs won’t honour American WWI wargraves coz of some rain !

I know in the grand scheme of things there are probably worse things to worry about, but as a sometime Media Studies teacher married to a History teacher the doctored video thing bothers me hugely…

“You are a slow learner, Winston.”
“How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”
“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

It’s a massive worry, the lies he comes out with are a serious issue, it’s setting a pattern that mean it’s hard for some to be impartial unless you look at every single event

I see he’s also blamed the Californians for not maintaining the forests where the wild fire is.

Because the fires in the 98% government owned forests where Trump has cut funding should have done more, and so to punish them he’s threatening to cut more money. Bawbag
