What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[jimmy olsen]

22 point swing in that Kansas race tonight. Wasn't enough to win that race, but a swing like that on a national level would gut the House GOP.

Big fucking deal.  Horseshoes and hand grenades.

A 10 point swing would flip the house. 20 plus point swing would cause a landslide like we haven't seen in 80 years.

There seems to be a real gulf between the people who see Trump as a sociopath and those of us who view him as an animalistic monkey man, the American id taken fleshy human form.
He lives in an eternal now, and my god does he feel. Overcome by the intensity of every moment, he feels far more than you or I, with our coping mechanisms and our deadening internalized norms and executive functions. He feels and so much that he habitually absorbs the emotions of those around him.

That's like saying Ted Bundy feels every moment, and absorbs the emotions of those around him.  He doesn't.

Two special elections so far.

CA-34 was Dem +19

Hey, guys, remember when we were kicking around the idea that Comey violated the Hatch Act?  I would say publicly running crying to Congress to say "WE FOUND EMAILS" while keeping silent that senior members of the Trump campaign were under FISA WARRANTED SURVEILLANCE certainly deserves a revival of that gem, don't you?

Tim, let me thank you in advance for tainting your side in the midterms.  Kind of figured 2016 would have taught you something, but hey.

Bentley, Christie, and Scott would like a word with you about how palatable the Republican Party looks right now.

You realize these elections mean jack shit for 2018, right?

Yet your side has Tim.  Sorry.

He destroyed Notre Dame football.  If he can kill God, what politician stands a chance?

Any theories as to what's going on with Trump and Russia now?  I see many possibilities:

1)  Trump realized that Putin isn't just a murderer, but also a bad guy.
2)  This is a complex KGB game to throw people off the trail.
3)  Trump used Putin and now dumped him.
4)  Trump realized that buddying up to Putin will require more political capital than he's willing or able to spend, and decided to give up on the idea.
5)  CIA has a pee pee tape featuring Trump and underage male prostitutes.

Given Trump's history. I'd guess number 3.  Didn't a bunch of posters here predict that?
