Ivanka will probably only get one term. She rubs women the wrong way for some reason. She opens her mouth and they immediately think "b-word." Baron will of course rule for life.

I don't know the answer to your question. But do you agree that if Trump had pulled the trigger and fired Mueller, that it would have been a very bad play for him?

Clearly the TIMING of these things is no coincidence. That part of it is obviously intentional and meant to distract. That stuff is going on all over the place. But this story, Trump wanting to fire Mueller. I don't doubt for a second that it happened this way. It's 100% consistent with everything we know about Trump. Hothead, impulsive, ego-hurt. Lucky for him, there was at least one cooler head available at the time. Anyway, it's not really all that damaging or revelatory. It doesn't really tell us anything we didn't know already. I don't think it implies that Trump was trying to obstruct. I think Trump wants to fire just about everybody who's not a member of his family. Ok, that's enough food metaphors for now, at least until we see how this pudding crumbles.

It's not how many scoops you get, it's how many NUTS you throw in.

Yeah, just the left uses misdirection & noise. Ok.

I guess. At this point, I feel like a substitute teacher in a class of first graders. This kid says some other kid took his pencil. That kid says the other one is lying. I turn my back and somebody makes a fart noise. Everybody's laughing. Try to find out who did it, everybody points to somebody else. More fart noises. More laughing. It descends into all the kids running around screaming, throwing stuff. Right now all the politicians & pundits need to sit down at their desks with their heads down so we can have a little quiet time. I don't care who started it. Everybody needs to be quiet so we can get some work done here. It's !@#$ing lord of the flies with this crap.

I happen to agree with this. Those yelling obstruction of justice at this point are wishful thinking. That charge may yet be made, but from what we know at this point, I don't see a case for it. What information exists within Mueller's investigation or any other investigations, we simply do not know. It's possible that there is some truth to what you're saying here. But, just like with the Russia stuff, it's all conjecture at this point. And tons and tons of misdirection and posturing and disingenuous bull **** from all sides.

Wow, you guys are truly in DEEP.

Do you doubt that it happened as reported? There are multiple sources and seems solid. We’re not claiming that anything criminal happened. Just more insight into what’s going on in the WH.

Fun thread. These are all good cases.

No great surprise that Trump wanted & tried to do this. He should consider himself lucky that Don McGahn had some balls & good judgement prevailed that day in June.

I’m not that familiar with the late era stuff. I might need to check it out.

Stones lose Brian Jones Pink Floyd loses Syd Barrett Iron Maiden loses Paul Di’anno Flaming Lips lose Ronald Jones

If that's true, wouldn't it be wise to wait a bit before announcing Trump as responsible for a big boom?

Even this data refutes 3rdnlng's claim that the economy never grew as much as 3% in a quarter under Obama. Also, the numbers are different according to different sources. Here's a report of REAL GDP that shows higher overall numbers for the last few years.

Not accurate. http://www.multpl.com/us-gdp-growth-rate/table/by-quarter

Chelsea seems pretty harmless to me. I have always found Hillary to be a little suspicious however. Not completely evil, but cutthroat when she wants to be, no question.

Unrelated, but it just struck me that this would be a very good porn pseudonym This of course would be Gugny’s porn name

This is very good news for me.

Honestly, my position is not very well thought out. I just can’t stand the rich brat. I hugely resent that this idiot entitled son in law piece of crap has all this supposed influence (ostensibly at least) in our government and nobody’s allowed to ask the boy wonder any questions and whatever he’s working on is none of our business for some reason. plus, I trust my instincts here. He’s a douche.

Here’s how I see this interview going... Mueller: We have a lot of embarrassing dirt. Somebody will have to be indicted here. Trump: Take the boy—take Jared. Mueller: Done.

I still feel like it might be more like this

I'm convinced now these !@#$s just don't want to do their jobs. It's more fun for them to just make accusations against the other side and then counter-accusations and call for more investigations. That's the real scandal, not that it's a surprise to anyone: Our legislators are lazy, foot-dragging, feces-throwing, vindictive idealogue !@#$s. We just have to come up with a catchy name for this scandal. Let's see...I don't know... "Investi-GATE!"

Richard Jenkins would be on gaitorbait's side though. Just sayin'.

One thing you have to admit is pretty remarkable if you grant that the conspiracy is true: Trump is showing unbelievable restraint right now! I mean, what a poker face, no? I wouldn’t have guessed he was capable.
