President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Republican Congressman from Florida Drops 2018 Re-Election Bid

 

I expect Trump to appear with Mean Gene Okerlund at some point.

 

It's like they've got a junior staffer/intern monitoring this topic:

 

Ryan is done in Washington. There is no longer any incentive for reporters to not call out that crap as the barefaced lie it is. They should have done it earlier, but you know "access."

 

What's hilarious is that Kudlow is saying the CBO is being pessimistic begging GDP growth at 2 percent year to year. Like there has never been a recession.

 

No idea of the validity of this, but Erick Erickson reports this from an unnamed Republican Congressman off the record. Supposedly, this Congressman goes on Fox News frequently and defends Trump.

"I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherfucker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, shits all over Twitter, shits all over us, shits all over his staff, then hits golf balls. Fuck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.”

 

My favorite from the Erikson supermarket chat article:

"Judiciary is stacked with a bunch of people who can win re-election so long as they don't piss off Trump voters in the primary. But if we get to summer and most of the primaries are over, they just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller. The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and I'd vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we're going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker. Take him out with us and let Mike [Pence] take over. At least then we could sleep well at night.”

 

Oh, Christ, what a scary fucking photo: As tensions mount everywhere, here sits the brain trust of America.

 

I'm assuming they need the name placards because of all the turnover.

 

Federal judge nominee Wendy Vitter, wife of former Sen. David Vitter, yeah, the diaper guy, had her hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. She was asked if she thought Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided and refused to answer.
