Crushes it and snorts it.

I wonder who his provider is. His previous WH doctor was known to all there as "Candyman."

Unfortunately I will probably be long gone from this world before the devil gets his pointy fingers on Trump.

Follow the nra money. I’m sure it will show us who is culpable. Then let’s look at election and ballot meddling. Again, follow the money. Then gerrymandering. Once again. $$$

Need to know the truth here. Regardless of who all goes down with it.

and all of his rhetoric about "Dems cheating and rigging" just sets it up to let Repubs get away with it.

Some of the election rigging came into full view in 2018, and cost us seats in houses and governorships around the country. We really need a national effort to clean out our election system. Frankly, if Repubs had any decent policies and won elections fairly, I could live with it. Right now, they're still working on setting up a draconian minority rule situation under fake democratic principles.

He does, after all, control the Base -- a mindless mass of sycophants who will follow their Great Leader into the Bowels of Darkness, if necessary, dragging any who criticizes their leader with them.

BTW, what kind of commander-in-chief talks about his wall during Christmas day calls to deployed troops?

that when he gets to the end of whatever meltdown he's having, we are finally rid of him. And since it's Christmas, I will ask Santa that we be rid of the entire GOP mob. Especially Turtle.

To be clear, I am not hoping for their deaths. What I want is for them to sit in prison for years and years as a reminder to all of the other greedy bastards who have the idea of fucking with our country.

He was also a lawyer abd had some grasp of the case against him and the crimes involved. I know obstruction of adjust doesn't ring much of a bell among lay people, but amongst judges it is a big deal. He knew they had the case to jail him and took the option of bailing and getting a pardon. The squater in the WH doesn't know anything or listen to those that do, so I expect it will yake impeachmenyt and conviction to remove him. I'm hoping the case is ready by March and he's gone by May. If a clear cut criminal case is made, I don't think many career politiicians are going to get on board the Titanic. It only takes 19 of them for a conviction.

in a capitalist plutocracy where reality means nothing and big profits for the uber rich means everything. The powerful from corporations to wall street banksters will protect him as he has made them very, very rich.

The congressional Republicans are too busy counting their money to care. Oh, i suppose some will ssy thry are scared of Trumps deplorables. Well, two observations on that. They created that deplorable base over the last half century and more, so they have themselves to blame if they don't like it. And, if they are too greedy to put their country over their money and power, they deserve heaps of scorn.
