Today Is a Bad Day for Trump

Today Is a Bad Day for Trump
April 18, 2019 at 6:42 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Playbook: “Why? Because we’re about to get a ton of new information about the president and how he conducts business. There will be tons new here, no matter how much is redacted. The president has the ability to plow through precarious situations by talking about what he wants to talk about, and his base sticks with him. Trump will be at Mar-a-Lago by this evening.”

“But remember: This is just the beginning of a long, protracted legal and political process. Dems will fight for fewer redactions, and seem certain to call Mueller and Barr to the Hill to testify.”

9. We need to get his approval down in the key states

Read he can win with 45% and he's above that in Nevada.

Hope when this cools off we can all focus on the numbers and match ups there. We don't have the luxury of picking our favorite person. We have to pick the Dem who can win in the key states.

6. Whatever is in the report, Trump's ratings will be unfazed. And there will be no impeachment.

Like any other dictator, every day he's not in prison is a victory.

So much winning.

Until Nov 2020.

for the country. The Russian coup will be complete. Now the corporate takeover begins in earnest.
The Russians landed the body blows to soften and confuse its opponent (us). They kept distracting and misleading through the sycophants they nurtured in the government to prevent us from seeing or at very least not caring enough about the corporate gifts the republicans gave them.

Look at the benefits that the trump administration has bestowed upon corporations, lower taxes, less regulations, increased future workforce, (outlawing abortion, work for food stamps, lowering the amount of migrant workers allowed), almost outright refusal to increase wages, diminished health care, etc.......

We are being taken into the modern version of feudalism, you can call it fascism if you wish.

...it will. But it will be the biggest battle we've ever fought. Please try not to drain the energy of those who still choose to fight for it. You are not helping when you piss all over hope.
