It's Really Interesting With All The Accusations Of Wrongdoing Against Trump.....

with so much piling up and on him - somehow he continues to maintain that he's innocent of everything. No collusion. No pussy grabbing. No money laundering. etc, etc, etc.

Usually folks - where there's smoke there's fire. Trump is so crooked it isn't even funny. Yet somehow he winds up skating by everything.

What will ultimately be his undoing?

I'm thinking he and the Repug Party are asking for trouble by inviting Putin to D.C. before the midterms. He always leads with his chin and his mouth and actions always get him in trouble. Reminding the voting public of his miserable showing in Helsinki by being next to Putin again - is leading with his chin again. I think it spells trouble for the Repugs that close to the Midterms. If they were smart - they would stop this visit.

1. Trump doesn't care. He is a supreme narcissistic personality. What will stop him?

The will of the people willing to take action to take back our country starting in November. No more sitting on our asses waiting for some one else to do. You, me and every DU member must commit to register new voters, contribute time and money to get democrats elected on every level...handwringing and complaining in DU will only give republicans the wins....

trump cult members how Vlad is the enemy of the liberal. That's all they need to hear to love him.

Their only motivation is hatred for uppity women and brown people. They have no live for our country.

He is under relentless attack and his actions are going to have an enormous impact electorally.

this Jacob Riis quote:

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Mueller and all the other forces, including all of us, who are working to take Trump down are the stone cutters. There is only so much he can endure before he implodes.

5. I think his undoing will be in November of 2018 and then November of 2020.

I have to believe we're going to take control of at least one chamber of Congress this November, and that we'll defeat him in 2020. The alternative is too horrifying to consider.

I don't see resignation or impeachment happening, though that would certainly be preferable. The sooner he's gone the better.

6. Thanks to 45's real chief-of-staff Hannity, and the Devin Nunes weasel-types, plus Big Money.

That orange S.O.B.’s tipping point is somewhere out in the asteroid belt. Talk about “Teflon,” there is no caliber of armor-piercing shit that can penetrate 45’s sad, nihilistic attack on democracy.

Any ONE of his fuck-ups would have landed anyone else in a prison cell. Which is EXACTLY where 45 belongs, for the rest of his miserable life.

8. I don't even think the Pee Tape will take him down.

He has "preachers" on the payroll. They'll say "we knew he was a hedonist so it doesn't matter."

I think there's three things that might turn the tide:

1. If there is a kinky tape and it reveals his much rumored desire for his daughter.
2. A tape of him coordinating directly with Putin or a "Face in the Crowd" tape of him laughing about manipulating the rubes who voted for him.
3. The economy crashes and the Republican donors (pimps) give their legislative prostitutes the go-ahead to take him down.

i think it will back up the story of jane doe.
who knows, maybe it will also give evidence that trump modeling it a front for sex trafficking. he just might have been caught bragging that "his models" are prettier than russian girls.
