Trump: 'REMEMBER THE MIDTERMS!'

Source: Politico



By QUINT FORGEY 09/24/2018 11:34 PM EDT

President Donald Trump on Monday urged voters and congressional Republicans gripped by Brett Kavanaugh's dramatic Supreme Court fight to keep their eyes on the clash that will play out across battleground states in November.

"REMEMBER THE MIDTERMS!" Trump tweeted late Monday evening, following a day that saw the White House and Senate GOP leadership launch a renewed counteroffensive to confirm the president's pick for the high court in the wake of a second sexual assault allegation leveled against Kavanaugh over the weekend.

"The Democrats are working hard to destroy a wonderful man, and a man who has the potential to be one of our greatest Supreme Court Justices ever, with an array of False Acquisitions the likes of which have never been seen before!" Trump also tweeted.

The president deleted that post 13 minutes later, and issued a new tweet with one correction: “Accusations” taking the place of “Acquisitions.”

1. How does the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief know the 'acquisitions' are false?

Maybe republican misleader Dirty Donny had a brain fart, and was thinking about his darkside russian money-laundering (condo-leasing) business 'aquisitions' and got mixed up when attempting to lie about the massive republican sexual predation thingy?

But what the Hell, we all get a little mixed up now and then, right?

He's cooking his own goose. To a burnt crisp. If he were smart, he would distance himself from Repubs like Bannon told him but his ego gets so puffed up he can't help but explode.

You should remember what they're trying to do to all of us. Take all health care away, destroy Social Security, putting babies in cages t intentionally hurt them and their families , some for life, remember all the predators they've tried to get elected, look at all the corruption going on for them , and just look at how putin has him as his puppet in the White House , and to use to hurt this country with now. Yes , people need to remember the mid terms , and to vote these corrupt , treasonous criminals out of office, while we still can. They're liars and crooks , and that should be enough for anyone to vote them out of office. They hate everyone , including women, minorities , and anyone opposing them and their agenda. They need to go , now. Please remember the mid terms , to vote these bums out of office and control.

That was right the first time, although his "acquisitions" were not "false" but were essentially his "conquests".

6. It's a message to the gop, especially senators....

The working faux theory de jure is that if the rapist is confirmed, a wave of red voters will be enthused and turn out to support the gop in the mid terms. A hard fight won. They WON!!! Keep WINNING!

But if he falls down drunk and can't rape the country, they will be angry and take it out on gop candidates.

That's what he meant. It was a threat to stay in line, hold their noses, and vote to confirm. Or else.

Who knows, he may be right. His rabid base will vote either way. But the mildly disgust/ing/ed republican friendly voter may just behave this way.

10. This from another sexual offender. I'd laugh if it wasn't so absurd.

By the way, why hasn’t the predator in chief been held accountable for sexual offenses? Cosby got his. Franken got his by resigning. Lesser politicians, both Democrat and Republican have been removed from office or resigned on far lesser accusations than what’s his name. But the goof in the Oval Office remains untouched (pun intended).

Here again, is there a code or law or rule that holds the President of the United States to a different or more perversely acceptable code of conduct? Is this a Kavanaugh edict in disguise?

Why hasn’t tRump been brought up on charges?

11. Let's talk about false accusations, dipshit

The reason this piece of shit is in office in the first fucking place is all the false accusations he made against Secretary Clinton.

And yeah, you better remember the midterms. Because if this worthless rapist gets put on the Supreme Court, four things are going to happen.

The first thing is the Democrats are going to run the table in November. You’ve already got farmers in the Midwest who were instrumental in your election saying they’re going to vote their wallets because your trade war is killing them. Withdraw Kavanaugh now and put someone else in his place or be staring at a 56-Democrat Senate on January 6.

The second thing is that we WILL impeach Kavanaugh over lying about his gambling addiction and finances, and you’ll go down in history as the first president who appointed a Supreme Court Justice who was removed by Congress. There are 20 Republicans up for re-election in 2020, and all of them will be gone if they don’t vote to convict in the Senate.

The third thing that will happen is your impeachment. You KNOW Robert Mueller has enough on you to put you behind bars for life.

And the fourth thing that’ll happen to you? Remember that scene in the Star Wars movie when they handed Han Solo over to Jabba the Hutt? Imagine you as Han Solo, the Russian Mafia as Jabba, and a thirty-story apartment complex in Novosibirsk as the block of carbonite, and you’re on the right track.
