How Long Do You Think The Mooch Will Last In The Trump WH?.....

In just over a week - this guy has generated a lot of controversy. He's got a mouth that will get him in trouble as well. I don't expect him to last long in the Trump WH. We should run a pool here at DU to predict when he'll be gone.

I DVR All The Network Late Night Talk Shows To Listen To The Monologue's And The Audience Reaction..

All the monologues are anti-Trump. They are not only quite funny - but they are quite factual and point out the amazing hypocrisy and insane actions of this president. In that they are anti-Trump - they also become anti-Repug as well.

It is clear - by the reaction of the audiences that they clearly are not Trump supporters and don't take the side of the Repugs - those same Repugs that use the throwaway line whenever they are faced with a question that they cannot answer - you know - the one that 'the American People either support or don't support' whatever is being asked. They throw around 'the American People' without ever backing up their assertions with solid data.

Couple all these Late Night Talk Shows with all the other political comedy shows - and I am pondering what the total viewership
numbers of the American People that are watching these shows and getting a lot of news and a different perspective on the stories of the day.

My hypothesis is that if we add up the viewership of these shows and total that up - that it is well more than that of the audience of the Fox Cable news that a portion of our population is watching. I wonder if someone could tabulate those numbers. I think we'd be pleasantly surprised.

It is my opinion that the comedy shows that point out the hypocrisy of the Repug Party and Trump are more influential than that of Fox.

These comedy shows are doing a great service to the American People and go a long way in formulating public opinion.

Now I think of this with a Repug hat on. If I was a Repug in Congress - I'd be very worried going into 2018 and 2020. The American People are realizing what is happening in this country and how Trump and the Repugs are destroying it - thanks to are modern day Will Rogers. If I were a Repug in Congress - I'd seriously have to be worried about my job going forward.

If Trump Fires Sessions, And Others In DOJ To Get To Somebody That Will Fire Mueller Wouldn't That..

be considered Obstruction of Justice?

It is obvious he would only do this to kill the Russian investigation.

If he didn't have anything to hide and was innocent - he'd have no reason to do this.

He is acting like a guilty man. He's getting desperate. He's being backed into a corner. There's no telling what he would do.

Well Trump Successfully Diverted The MSM's Attention From The Senate & The Health Debate.....

to this transgender issue that he opened up on this a.m..

I'm thinking this was just a grand diversion to keep the media from focusing on the healthcare debate and let the Repugs slip something by us in the process.

Skinny Repeal - how absurd!!!!!

So Has The Whole Boy Scout Debacle Been Forgotten Already?......

We're a couple of days past Trump's insane speech to the Boy Scouts and it looks like it's been forgotten already. The MSM has moved on and are chasing other stories.

This BSA speech for me was the worst of Trump. Trying to brainwash our youth and taint their minds. I still feel the powers that be in the Boy Scout Organization that allowed this to take place need to resign. There is no room for politics in Scouting. They let it happen.

I can't believe that we've given Trump a pass on this already. No wonder he keeps doing these outrageous things. He keeps getting away with them. Give him and inch and he'll take a mile. And little by little he's destroying our country.

Can The Minority Party Keep Congress In Session During The Recess Or....

is that only under the purview of the majority party?

I was wondering if some Dems stayed back during the recess and held the floor - if that would qualify?

If Trump Fires Sessions He Chances Sessions Turning On Him....

and exposing Russian collusion. Remember Sessions was in with the Trump team early on and knows where the skeletons are buried. Trump believes if Sessions resigns there is less of a chance that Sessions will out him.

That's why we're seeing this dance going on between Trump & Sessions.

Who Was The Health Insurance Expert That The Cable News Shows Featured During The ACA Debate?....

This guy was on all the time answering questions about ACA and he was a good spokesman for it.

I haven't seen him now during this whole debate about the Repugs dealings with their intended repeal and replace.

Does anyone remember him? Do you know why he hasn't been very visible as of late?

I Keep Hearing The Term "Constitutional Crisis" Bandied About On The Cable News Shows - But....

what exactly will that look like? What is a 'constitutional crisis'? Who labels or identifies it as such? How will the two Parties (Dems & Repugs) react to it? Essentially - what happens in a 'constitutional crisis'?

McCain Ought To Get A Clue Here.....

McConnell only was thinking about getting this passed today - he did not care one iota about the health of McCain. McCain just had brain surgery. He could have died on the plane ride into D.C. McConnell was willing to take a chance on that happening just to get this passed today. He pressured McCain to take that chance. McCain's ego got the better of him and he bought McConnell's line of flattery. You can just imagine what McConnell said to McCain to take that chance.
