Well the approval ratings continue to drop. The Hill continues to do nothing despite having near complete control. The GOP is running out of places to hide and when the Russia stuff does start to take out more and more people intimately involved with the administration they will have no choice. After all while they may be big on ideology in the end they just want to be re-elected.

It won't all be Trump's doing as they are doing it to themselves as well by ignoring the public on the ACA and not managing to do anything else.

Yeah we all keep hoping that but what evidence is there this will happen? The Republicans are literally hiding on roofs and avoiding town halls, they've gerrymandered themselves into safety, and if their base was smart enough to vote for their own self interests they wouldn't be their base.

To paraphrase a tweet I saw a while back

"this will be what brings him down" he mutters to himself, staring out across the desolate wasteland

It should have gone down as one of the funniest moments of this election.

Unfortunately, he won in the end and took a lot of the lustre off the joke.

Spicer said the media is covering all this fake news and it's ignoring Trump's results in fighting terrorism. Then he left before anyone could ask what results.

Because in the end most of these politicians aren't truly just in it for ideology at all costs. No doubt some are (Ryan, tea partiers) but most don't actually want to annoy their constituents and risk losing a re-election. While I don't think we'll necessarily see democrats flipping the houses I do think if the circus continues you will see the moderates in the GOP exert more control over the legislation.

We'll see fairly soon as the Senate works on their own healthcare bill....

Thanks for posting this article. Not for the content itself, but because of the top comment on the article. Don't know how I missed this, but a few weeks ago Cohen posted a picture of his college aged daughter....in lingerie. Predictably the comments in the tweet are incredible, and he even actually responds to someone who tweeted to him "POTUS wants to date his daughter, the VP calls his wife "mother," and DJT's attorney posts spank-bank material of his daughter." with the not at all creepy reply of...."Jealous?". So obviously we now know what attracted Trump to hire him as attorney.

Edit: Yeah here's a screencap and ummmmm....yeah I got nothing.

That 'jealous?' response was even creepier than posting the picture. Ewwww.

Also, check out that reply/retweet/like ratio. If it's skewing that high to replies, you know you messed up.

Stuart Jones, a high-level acting official in the State Dept, is asked why they criticize Iranian elections but never Saudi Arabia.

On 28th June Trump tweeted.
Quote:
Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!
On 30th June. Trump retweeted from Fox News.

Yes, but it's perfectly justified, only the MSM is #FakeNews, Trump is totally trustworthy. I can see how someone who has been brainwashed by the #FakeNews can't tell the difference.

Um, read more carefully - "sources say" and "source says". Completely different, Fake CP!
