You guys realize nothing is going to happen, right? I'm pretty upset with Trump trying to distract the nation by cutting off all Palestinian aid all of a sudden. Brilliant.

Nothing is going to distract from this, it's going to keep developing. Democrats are trying to avoid the word "impeach" until after they win the midterms because they believe it'll rile up Trump's base, and although I don't love the idea of continuing to wait, it's probably for the best as it will cause more and more people to flip before the inevitable reckoning.

Like, I was Trump's base, but after attacking Syria and the continued subservience to Israel, I just can't support it anymore, you know? I'm done.

Believe it or not, the only reason I signed up for Republican was to support Ron Paul which obviously went nowhere. I used to be a communist like you guys, but got sucked into the neon nazi movement.

I really hope he lose election of mid-mandate
I hope Trump will get dumped from his Presidency
Canada hasn't done anything to receive such treatment
However, Trump is greatly open minded to become friend with russian and north korean...

Just for funzies until we get into whatever craziness next week brings, here's Trump coloring the US flag wrong:

Looks more like he was going for the Russian flag, but he didn't even put the colors in the right order for that, either.

I feel this is him not caring about what he colors in, but not him forgetting.
I'm not sure why you would give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, but it's almost worse if the president of the United States simply doesn't care what the United States flag look like. Kinda makes the whole stance against protesting during the anthem hypocritical disingenuous bullshit, but I guess we already knew that it was.

I mean, if he was actually a good President, I don't care if he colored this flag green. Just because he wants too. It is just a drawing.

As for him forgetting despite having to see the flag at least once before he started drawing, is pretty depressing.

Are we really posting tabloid tier garbage now?
You mean the picture? It's something that factually happened, I don't know what to tell you. Not a good look for the president, but that could sum up Trump's entire presidency by this point. Maybe Giuliani plans to spin Trump as mentally incompetent/incapable of understanding laws if/when he ever faces impeachment or a court.

Eh, I really doubt this story, it seems very unlikely that thirteen Russians would've been able to do anything as big as the articles says they did.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

That's a funny way of saying "arrogant and pleasantly awestruck by countries under dictatorship"

Lol

But in all seriousness it probably isn't best to piss off the angry dictator countries, I can see why trump is adopting this stance.

You're a few hundred articles behind if you're just now reading the first one, and that stuff is all but confirmed, as well as corroborated by all the US intelligence agencies. The charges have moved much closer to Trump himself at this point, there's not a whole lot you can do against individuals outside of the country who have committed crimes against us.

I'm a little late on this, but Papadopoulos has accepted a plea deal after a period of uncertainty:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wee...es-accept-plea-deal-mueller/story?id=57483474

New York's AG says the Trump Foundation bankrolled his campaign and is pursuing a lawsuit:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politi...bankrolled-political-campaign-pursues-lawsuit

Mueller is tying secret Ukrainian money to Trump's inauguration:

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...secret-ukrainian-money-to-trump-inauguration/

And lastly, as KingVamp mentioned, Trump is down to the lowest approval rating of his presidency, 36%.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...oval-rating-sinks-to-lowest-of-his-presidency

News is moving quick.
