But hes really outdoing himself right now. Those hearings are running smoothly and hes keeping the unruly Bullshit Crowd pretty effectively in line.

(10,667 posts)Wow. She comported herself so, so well in that exchange. And Schiff got just what he needed.

(38,453 posts)Now, I think (I do not know what Trump has been told) Trump had been told by associates and family to cut back and stop tweeting. That is my guess. It seems obvious that he cannot control this aspect of his life, and he needs to cut back on this activity. In spite of those trying to help Mr. Trump on this, Trump does what he wants to do, and this moment in history proves it. This was on live TV in view of everyone who was watching. You cannot make this up. Who would have imagined that Trump would be this stupid. And....this is very important....He has no one to blame but himself...

(10,106 posts)Trump is too ignorant to even know where Somalia is, much less its history. And the tweet actually had sentences, which Trump cant write. I dont remember any typos either, or nonsense words.

Could be friend/foe within the WH.
My guess is that another force is posting these at opportune moments and with calculated results.
dump may be unceremoniously removed since he's served someone's purpose.

(10,274 posts)and kept him locked away in the WH Situation Room in a straightjacket like Hannibal Lector three years ago, and had the people he first appointed been given free reign to run the country as they saw fit, Trump would now be headed for certain re-election in 2020.
Everyone's always hoping some karmic event will occur to take Trump down, but he's doing a magnificent job of that himself. As Nancy said, "Every single day, the president is making a case, hes becoming self-impeachable, in terms of some of the things that he is doing. So, hes doing our work for us in a certain respect.

(30,777 posts)about Somalia. There is no way he knew or remembered anything about Somalia. He is too stupid and uninformed.
He may have thought it was a "shithole country," or something to eat. In his tweet, he repeated something Miller or someone else said to him about Somalia.

(2,599 posts)The people are longtime, dedicated professionals who love their jobs and have a fierce loyalty to those institutions that are dedicated to protect and promote the United States. While there are a few political appointees in the ambassador roles at every change in the presidency, there are many more that rise within those ranks to positions of importance as did Masha Yovanovitch. One thing I know, though, is that very few of people called to serve in places like Ukraine, Somalia, and other geopolitical hotbeds aren't the political flaks and opportunists without any shred of experience or ability, such as Sondland and I'm sure any other chuckleheads appointed by *President Shit-for-Brains.

(159 posts)After all, they have plenty of bad stuff to say about this. Especially Sondlund. I wonder if he will not show up or plead the 5th because he is scared. Everyone needs to remember its better to be a witness rather than a defendant. Interesting week ahead and I am planning on how I can hear/watch with my schedule so as not to miss too much.

(11,582 posts)Of course, bullying and threatening a woman is much easier for Trump than bullying and threatening a man. Predators like Trump select their targets carefully. Can you imagine how intimidating it must be to be in the crosshairs of the President of the United States? As Pelosi has said, the president's words weigh a ton.

Last night, we had a party to celebrate the three year anniversary of our Indivisible group. The candidates were there. People signing petitions and delegate hopefuls were there. Precinct committee people and party chairs were there. Everyone was talking about the tweet.
