And he gets away with it again.

trump slithered into El Paso and Dayton today and soothed said towns with smiling thumbs up pictures and a new campaign ad and flies away as some stated a "Rock Star" . I'm seriously wondering when he will actually shoot someone just to prove he can without consequence. When EXACTLY will impeachment hearings begin ?

If it wasn't made for him, it wasn't made for ANYONE. I don't care if Republicans vote no on conviction. Let them have that as their record in this matter.

The reliance on an election is a fool's errand.

Mueller told us UNDER OATH that Russians are already meddling. Director Wray told us UNDER OATH that Russians are already meddling. Director Coates told us that Russians are already meddling.

And states are acting in ways that guarantee a damaged election.

Some think that is the plan for 2020. Several botched states and then the SCOTUS must step in and decide.

Voila. Finis. Just like Bush v. Gore 2000.

That's my prediction.

Two others:

1. We'll never get his tax returns.

2. He will refuse to debate the Democratic nominee.

with that sentiment, that Trump won't leave peacefully even if he loses the election.

Trump doesn't (can't) debate; only insult and harangue. I'm not a Harris supporter, but Kamala is the one I'd most like to see debate him. Warren could more than handle handle him, but might not be mean enough to destroy him. I love Biden, and don't doubt he could handle Trump, but his "game" seems to be slipping a bit. Trump never had a legitimate "game," and has slipped into full out CRAZY. I' m sure he'll be dodging any debates if possible.

He will say it proves he didn’t do anything wrong.

And just like someone who witnesses child abuse and turns away, we will be complicit for doing nothing.

Would probably swing the election to him. But have at it. It will feel good for a while.

It was always going to be just another Trump shit show. The only question was how vile and vulgar. I have stopped being shocked and surprised by his stupidity and hatefulness.

But I guarantee you this. He is destroying the Republican party with his vileness. People are sick of him and sick of craven Republicans, who enable him. The Trump fatigue in this country is so thick that you could cut it with a butter knife. And we have more than enough Dem candidates calling for a return of moral leadership. That's what I want -- a return to ethical morality and basic human decency.

So hang in there. Trump's day of justice is coming.
