fact check it or refute Trump's ramblings - word for word - just to illustrate how off the wall Trump is and how he lies and makes stories up as he goes along. They should point out how dumb Trump is about our government; the constitution and the law. They should play a sound bite of Trump making a statement - stop the tape - refute or fact check it in real time - and then go on to the next sound bite and do the same thing - until they go through the whole playback of Trump's ramblings from one of his rallies.

Show the 'deplorables' just how much Trump is manipulating them and making them look stupid.

I still would hope that someone in Trump's administration or working in the White House would record Trump (catch him) saying just how much he uses the 'deplorables' to his own advantage and what he really thinks of them when he talks about them as he concocts his talking points for what he calls his campaign rallies in the privacy of the oval office.

I have to think that Trump has a low opinion of his base 'deplorables' and expresses that opinion when he thinks he is in the confidence of the people working around him. He knows how to use and manipulate the 'deplorables' and makes fun of them when he is not in their presence. In other words - be a fly on the wall - record him - and play it back for his base to hear what he really thinks of them.

I believe that would be the straw that would break the camel's back - if the 'deplorables' (his base) would hear right from Trump's mouth - how and what he really thinks and feels about them.

Trump and Erdogan talk. Trump abandons the Kurds in Syria who are U.S. allies that were fighting ISIS with U.S. supplied arms so Turkey can attack the Kurds and drive them from their territory and re-populate it with arabs. And now the Turkish forces may be attacking U.S. bases in the area where they know they exist because the Turks are in contact with the Pentagon that is telling them where these bases are so they don't attack them.

This was all Trump's brainchild because he didn't want endless wars. All the while an impeachment inquiry is being conducted to remove Trump from office because he's extorting the Ukraine president in order to get info on a potential opponent he may be facing in an upcoming election. And now Trump is looking to negotiate a settlement between the Turks and the Kurds to end the fighting before -hopefully- no Americans get killed in the process - while Trump is campaigning around the country to defeat the Dems by calling them traitors and using racial talk because he feels he's being treated badly by the Dems. All the while his so-called lawyer that he's not sure is still representing him is being criminally investigated because he's running around the world chasing down conspiracy theories about a son of the candidate he thinks Trump will face in the election and working with people that have just got arrested for funnelling foreign money to Trump's campaign.

I'm not sure I've got any of this story straight because Trump claims that the truth is fake and makes up stories and lies and calls them truths. Oh - and he wants to put a man on the moon by the way.

And this is only a small part of the story.

No wonder I can't get back to sleep and I'm posting this insane crap here on DU.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now because they don't want to be forced into going on record this early in the process? They don't want Trump to hold them to this vote especially if more damaging reasons for impeachment surface in the future.

Is this what is going on behind the scenes?

Why is he so concerned of absolving Russia of interfering with the 2016 election?

This has always bothered me. What is he worried about?

Could it be that he thinks that if his presidency is deemed 'illegitimate' that everything that he's done will have to be reversed?

I don't know why - but I've always been suspicious of his concern of 'illegitimacy'.

why aren't there cries for Trump to resign? The Dems should be demanding his resignation for all kinds of his crimes - and especially for his sexual proclivities. Newspapers around the country should be calling for Trump's resignation.

He ranks right up there with Harvey Weinstein. He's been tied to Jeffery Epstein.

How could the Dems and the MSM force a guy like Al Franken to resign and let Trump off the hook?

Put the pressure on Trump. Call for his resignation. The Repugs can't defend him for his sexual assaults.

Trump is not fit to represent this country.

Sure we'd like to see Trump impeached. We'd like to see him walked from the WH to be taken to a prison - penniless - and made to pay for all of his crimes. His cabinet and appointees need to be punished as well. Pence, Barr, Pompeo, Trump's family, etc. But it is not enough.

The Repugs that continually put Party before Country and till today continue to circle the wagons protecting Trump - need to be punished as well. They need to feel the pain for their lack of patriotism and that means that in Nov 2020 - they must suffer the biggest loss in the history of elections. They need to lose the White House, the Senate and continue to be shut out of the House.

We need to really make that point in the run-up to the Nov 2020 election. The Repugs must go down.

The wheels on the bus are coming off,
For Donald Trimp this morning.

He was cracking me up. He sounded like a broken record.

What if the fix is in. The Repugs circle the wagons again around Trump. If impeachment gets to the Senate - Mitch does his job and gets Trump off. Barr, Pompeo and the rest of the Repugs stonewall through the roll up to the 2020 election. The Repugs suppress votes, steal votes and get foreign help again - most probably by Russia - and Trump wins a second term. Trump and the Repug crime family will be more embolden than ever and God knows what he'll and they'll do.

We're screwed if that happens.

I guess Pence going all in today - made me think of the worst possible scenario.

Trump is trying to play this out just like 2016. Look's like he's got his plan and the Repugs got their marching orders.

I was sleeping good the last week thinking that our national nightmare was soon coming to an end. After hearing about Pence going all in - I'm now anticipating more loss of sleep going forward.

As public servants on the taxpayers payroll don't they have to make public their meetings?

Has Pompeo explained why he took Gorka with him?
