    “I did try and f**k her. She was married.” “I moved on her like a bitch.” “Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

    If literally anyone in your life - a friend, a family member, or co-worker - spoke at length extemporaneosly the way Trump does you would be *deeply* concerned and unnerved.

    This is truly amazing. The Justice Department admits that, under Trump, it effectively made up and misstated information to link immigrants to terrorism, but that it won't retract or correct the culprit report.

    "I think she dishonored herself. And I think she dishonored her family," Trump says, then calls it "highly disrespectful to the US of A" re new rep saying Dems will "impeach this motherf**ker." Trump in '16 repeated a woman's use of "pussy" to describe Ted Cruz from a rally stage

    Donald Trump lost the popular vote in 2016, lost the House in 2018, and his big idea now is to double down on an unpopular policy by forcing an extended government shutdown. There's this belief out there that Trump's political instincts are gold. They're not.

    It's about time. The Electoral College is an 18th century anachronism. One person, one vote, and the most votes win. That's called democracy.

  10. I should add for those who say this is not that all comparable, that exulting with profanity at a vote to blow up the healthcare system for tens of millions is really not that far from calling for the impeachment of a corrupt president.

    I am So very sorry Norm! In July it will be The 3rd anniversary of the death of my only child Taylor. I think about her every second of the day! No parent should ever bury a child! Hugs to you and your family.

    When you push reckless policies that squander our resources, defy our values, leave 800,000 federal workers unpaid and millions of Americans without needed services, you don’t need to declare a national emergency. You are the national emergency.

    It’s really something how we’ve all become inured to having a president who literally cannot utter a single coherent and truthful sentence

    My colleague just fact-checked 's bogus, ridiculous claim that the US detained 4,000 known or suspected terrorists last year on the Southern Border. At best, this was the number of people flagged on watch lists at every border entry, including airports.

    The ability to pretend that this guy is on his hinges has to have a limit, doesn't it?

    Remains the bottom line: Negotiating with Trump is impossible. Can't trust anyone to speak for him, can't trust him to stay consistent one minute to the next.

    The “motherfucker” does add something, though. It’s an indication of (understandably) visceral emotion, not the serious, fact-based legal investigation that Dem leadership has tried so hard to make the face of impeachment efforts.
