Trump as Mob Boss

Donald Trump promised to be a law and order president who would “hire the best people”. On Tuesday he appeared more like a cross between Richard “I’m not a crook” Nixon and Tony Soprano...

But it was also a sobering reminder of how closely the president of the United States resembles a crime boss struggling to keep his head above water as his henchmen are picked off by law enforcement, one by one...

If the special counsel nailed Manafort, Cohen and the others so effectively, what will he do to Trump? Michael Avenatti, Daniels’ lawyer, tweeted: “Remember when they were saying, during the 1980s, that John Gotti was the ‘The Teflon Don’ and was ‘untouchable’. That was always true, right up until the very moment it wasn’t …”

Trump says 'everybody would be very poor' if he's impeached

Yep, the moron really said this. It’s not fake news. Trumpkins really are stupid enough to believe it, too.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/polit...ess/index.html

“You know, I guess it says something like high crimes and all -- I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job," Trump said.

Pretty simple, Donny. You’re corrupt, through and through. You belong behind bars. Pretty easy to understand, even for a cowardly moron like you.

Trump Leaps Into South Africa’s Racially Charged Land Seizure Debate

Of course he does. It’s a perfect deflection for him and his racist Trumpkins, neither of whom understand the first thing about the issues involved. But hey, it’s “bad” blacks vs “good” whites, simple enough for Trumpkins to “understand”.

^^ Responding to both of your posts, "to stop Trump being impeached, vote GOP" seems to be the message the GOP is relying on. Will definitely work with his base but not sure how this will impact the independents.

As to South Africa, I doubt anyone in Trump's sphere even knows what apartheid means or heard of Nelson Mandela. So this will serve as a 24 hour news deflection at best.

Where’s our boy Whell? I miss his “analysis”. Always good for a hearty morning laugh.

@tedlieu
The guilty plea of Michael Cohen and now the grant of immunity to National Enquirer CEO David Pecker confirm two facts:

(1) felony violations of our campaign finance laws are CRIMES;

(2)
@realDonaldTrump
is in serious legal jeopardy.

Trump warns impeachment will crash the market and make everyone 'very poor'—here's what experts say

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/23/expe...he-market.html

“It's a ridiculous remark — the kind of thing a Latin American dictator or a Middle Eastern strongman would say to keep supporters in line," Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, tells CNBC Make It.

You know what I find really, really, really, really, ....., really great about this? Trump is thinking about getting impeached. I hope he doesn't feel too bad or lose any sleep over this. The world would stop spinning if that were to happen.
