Trump likes to dish it out but he can't take it.

He is a cry-baby wimp.

He gets angry when he doesn't get his way.

He can't stand the idea that the Democrats are going to investigate him.

They have a lot of gall to ask for his tax returns and his financial records.

It's been a one-way street for him up 'til now but that is about to change.

Diaper Don will be dragging around a big load...

NO ONE DISOBEYS ME!

This is a very thorny issue for the Trumpy. But his jolly old self depicts himself as God, doesn't he? No one disobeys me. Really? Or else what? This non sequitur should provide plenty of follow-up questions and a really funny segment on SNL. Every comedian on earth has a lot to gnaw on here.

But seriously, Trumpy stepped into a minefield with this comment, and it's likely he'll never find his way out.

You'll notice even his favorite line--You're Fired!--is bogus. He doesn't fire people; he gets his slimy surrogates to do it.

Why? Because he's a bloviating blusterer, a carney con whose only talent is lying to the rubes.

Bottom line, he's a yellow-bellied coward (among other things)! Bullies are cowards.

that one right there cracks me up and makes me cry in pretty much equal measure.
if he cant even actually fire people, is anything about him authentic? anything?
everything about him is just like his hair.

...full speed, packing the courts, etc, while we're name calling.
WE NEED TO WISE UP AND GO FULL FORCE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER ON HIM, not "we must wait until Mueller releases his report" then we're told "we must wait to read the report", then we're told "impeachment is too politically scary"...WHO are actually the smart people on this? It's sadly looking like the criminals are!

As far as tRump not being able to "take it", he hasn't had to take anything yet! All of his stalling tactics are working just fine.

Frustrating!

Because anything before that just isnt going to happen, unless HE leaves on his own or dies.
The GOP is terrified of his base. And i work around many of them, so i know what they feel. So far, very few have stopped supporting him. The ones that have are also the ones who only voted for him to beat HRC. I dont think any of the 3 i know who have changed their minds will cast a vote at all next year.

What kind of tactics are we supposed to use if we live in Wisconsin like I do.
I just called Speaker Pelosi's office through the Need to Impeach campaign.
Left a message.
I've written several letters in the past to our local newspaper about the Orange Menace.

Is there a rally planned? Or do we just take to the streets?

Feed-back would be appreciated from one and all here at DU.

...UNPRECEDENTED OF OUR OWN? We're not capable of thinking outside that box, but instead of doing things with corrupt and evil intent, we do things with BENEVOLENCE?
How many states would we win if we promised that ALL TAXPAYERS who earn under $100,000 would get a one year income tax pass?
Promise all veterans a check for a down payment on a residence on the day of their honorable discharge from service.
Promise all citizens who get 1 or no traffic tickets in a year receive a government funded 50% discount on the next years car insurance.
Bread and butter stuff!
Just spitballing here but there must be TONS of things that can compete with Republicans doing the dastardly stuff only for millionaires.

He won't be removed from office. So he's happy, for now. Considering what could have happened w/the Mueller Report.

Trump lies about everything, all the time.

If you think he's happy, it's because that's what he wants you to think. Trump doesn't know happy. He only knows fatigue, anger, fear, and hatred. Oh. I forgot. He knows double-layered chocolate cake.

But being happy fit with the results of the Mueller Report. No indictment recommendations. I'd be happy. Until people started reading the full redacted report and seeing the reports of his behavior.
