President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Here was the letter Pelosi referenced. McCarthy referred to the Speaker's "recklessness."

McCarthy calls on Pelosi to suspend Trump impeachment inquiry, accuses her of 'recklessness'

 

Well, U Houston eased its budget by selling the athletic dept. to Fertita. I'm sure they used some of that cash to help regular ol' students with tuition.

 

Somebody's looking to get whacked.

 

"During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that's led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump."

 

If Republicans Ever Turn On Trump, It’ll Happen All At Once

Trump seems to be purposely making it harder to make the GOP stick with him. Imagine Clinton - yeah, I KNOW Monica and a few other interns. Nixon - absolutely I knew about it, authorized it and I'll do it again.

 

You don't get it, Dan. This is his primal appeal. Come with me. Power is all. He could propose putting all Democrats in concentration camps and Lindsey Graham and his ilk would go "OK" or do I mean "Jawohl." It's an authoritarian death cult of boomers (of which I am one) who wish for the whole world to suffer the oblivion they know is coming and fear.

 

Seeing as how the GOP likes alternate science, here's some:
I haven't had rain in almost two months. We are on umpteeth day of record heat. Today the high was 93 when the historical average is 61 for this date. It's 8:30 p.m. on what should be a pleasant October evening, and it's still 80 degrees.
Glad that shit is a hoax, or else I'd be sweating. It's almost - almost - making me not enjoy my Octoberfest.

 

When you've lost Rick Perry ....

The fact that he has been scandal free surprised me.
