Because it's a suffering tape. It's a terrible tape," he said. "It was very violent, very vicious and terrible.

Aw. Big bad bone spurs is easily upset. Best sit him on his potty in front of Fox and Friends with some McDonald’s and his smartphone.

"I don't know. Who can really know? But I can say this, he's got many people... that say he had no knowledge."

A leader who does NOT trust his own intelligence agencies. A leader who thinks first and foremost about his own business dealings and increasing his wealth (assuming his wealth is actual) while in the White House.

If he'd show his most current tax info, the world might know how many properties he's sold various Saudi 'royals' - and other 'foreign' oligarchs. Trump's armies of lawyers and accountants must be working overtime covering his shady dealings.

"I have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about," Trump said

The swamp he's been building will get even deeper. Given how few people of quality are likely to work in his admin, it's likely he'll be bringing in more of those matching his sliminess.

How many Fox 'news' talking mouths will be appointed? Family members?

Finally some accountability in Washington.

Oh they're actually gonna let Mueller get on with it?

How did you teach this conclusion?

They have never not let mueller do anything. Unlimited time, unlimited budget, hired all the Dems and ex Hillary lawyers he wanted.

Great, I hope he gets a new guy for the role of President.

I imagine Trump opening up a big bucket of "the best people" and shoveling up another half dozen.

Mueller hasn’t found anything because there’s nothing to find. The intelligence community is packed to the gills with Swamp Creature never-Trumpers and anti-Trumpers who would be happy to see him gone.

This is all part of the Democrats’ new modus operandi to win at any costs is: if they lose any election, it’s only because the Republicans cheated.

If a Republican claims a Democrat cheated, they retort: “You have no proof.”

Well, guess who has no proof about Russia collusion?

"I have three or four or five positions that I'm thinking about," Trump said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."

Well, if he gets rid of Kelly and Mattis, then there's no adults left in the room...

"I need flexibility," he said.

"I need sycophants... "

Trump insisted that it was "historic" that Republicans were able to hold the Senate. But control of the House will allow Democrats to block much Trump-backed legislation, to issue subpoenas and to launch congressional inquiries into Russian involvement, Trump's taxes and finances, and other highly sensitive issues.

"Vlad, I need a big favor, can you have your guys hack in to the IRS and delete my tax returns...."

Trump also told Fox that "there's a chance" his homeland security secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, might be replaced, saying "I like her very much... (but) I would like her to be much tougher on the border."

This administration's mantra - "Tough on the border, easy on Russia..."

The president has made the security of the border with Mexico an overarching issue -- one seen to play well with his conservative base.

And the troops are still there doing nothing except missing Thanksgiving with their families - a disgrace...

While Trump has attempted to put the best face on Republican losses in the House -- which were worse than the 2006 losses that then-President George W. Bush called a "thumping" -- the Democrats' gains underline the challenges Trump and party will face in 2020.

Beyond thumping - all due to Trump...

The president added that 2020 will be different in a crucial way from this month's elections -- his name will be on the ballot.

In 2020 his name will be on a cell door at San Quentin - to be called "Trump Tower West..."

Trump going to prison would be as sure as Sean Hannity winning the Presidency.

Sean Hannity winning the Presidency.

As the person setting policy for Trump, Hannity doesn't need the title and the headaches that come with it. Hannity's too busy being a slumlord and getting government welfare for doing so.

Passing the buck, always paranoid because his rule is illegitimate. Read 'Macbeth' and see how true to life it is. Or for that matter, read what the title character said in 'Julius Caesar'. 'Fat, sleek-headed men'. Kissy kissy the butt, boy.

He should flee to Russia, out of reach of US or international prosecution, and let the US get back to normal.

These sleights-of-hand are becoming increasingly ineffective as the American people see through Trump's goofy antics and bluster. The only question that remains is how long can he keep dodging the slings and arrows fired by the new Democrat-controlled House from January?

If you thought the last 2 years were pretty crazy, the next 2 years are probably going to be even crazier.

Why a critical time? He won the election and the opposition are losers. He just needs a new war.

Hey, if he gets as much help from Putin that Trump did, anything is possible....

Naah, his friend Vlad will never let that happen. Trump would have found asylum in Russia by 2020.

Thid trite conservative conspiracy theory rears its ugly head again. Let's use a lesson we learned from our experience with the Kav.

Despite the Jav clearly demonstrating his bias when disrespecting democratic senators, cons assured us that he could separate his personal bias for professionalism. Yet these same cons want us to believe that a life-long republican is a democratic lapdog and that highly educated and experienced professionals cannot separate their personal feelings from their professional responsibility.

@Bass

Have they improved since you said Trump would lose the election?

Wish Trump would just recuse himself from being president. He really should do it.

Is it true that all all parts of Orange County now have blue House reps?

That is true. Orange County is a Democratic Party stronghold now - all thanks to Donald Trump!

Mike Pence was idiot.

Ah, so the good people of Orange County have expressed their support for open borders and the lawless entry of illegals.

I suspect in late 2020 there will be a Trump caravan heading from towards the Russian Embassy in DC.

Just hope the Russians dont deploy their army in response.
