Did Mueller's search of Manafort's home intimidate the others yet

or do they still think they are untouchable? It was meant to send a message but was it received by his buddies in the W House or are they still thinking they won't get nailed?

Half empty or half full?

Will the N Korea situation put him over the top (crazy AND dangerous) and turn even more people against him? Will Congress say, "Yes, he is crazy, he is going to kill people, but worse than that he may jeopardize our 2018 GOP election campaigns so we' d better finally get rid of him"? This could be the very thing that makes Congress realize that if they keep their cart hitched to his wagon any longer they will all go careening over the cliff.

People keep asking me, "How did you know that?".

Ever since I found out about DU I read the various articles, discussions, etc. and learn about a lot of the latest news stories from all the various sources from all over the world. When I mention an item that I read and it appears on the news later in the evening or next day everyone wonders if I have ESP or something. What a great site and discovery. I've turned so many others on to it... Thanks DUers!

That's because he wishes he could attend without being recognized.

At the KKK Rallies he at least can hide his identity under a white hood like his daddy did.

The average 45 voter earns $72,000 a year. Why is everyone saying they are poor?

This was reported in several media sources in May 2016. This is a solid middle class yearly income. Why does everyone still insist his base is financially left in the lurch?

This is the median household income of his voters from exit polls in 23 primary states. It was reported in the NY Times and Five Thirty Eight.

I would say that it could be that he attended military schools while growing up

since he was a problem child but I doubt that is the reason. It most likely has to do with Republicans being pro-military hawks for a long time.

Mueller is smart and knows he could be fired during the summer

so could he be making contingency plans in case it does happen? He doesn't want to rush the investigation but does he have any ability to control the situation that would allow his team and the work they're doing to continue?

Is the fake prez's base a hybrid party of both the Dems and Republicans?

They don't mind big government and the financial benefits (as long as they receive them that is) and don't want tax cuts for the rich like the Dems. They also are hate filled and prejudiced against women and minorities while they hypocritically profess to love God and all he stands for like the Repubs.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
