I have to hope it will get him, otherwise what's the point? We all might as well just give up and lie down. We have to fight, we have to have hope and we have to hope that someone who is being so brazen and so openly crooked will get their comeuppance. It simply has to happen otherwise the USA really is no better than North Korea or Zimbabwe.
I think that sounds about right. You have to admit that's a seriously dangerous game he's playing there though. The Tea Party have a lot of clout and a lot of supporters, he really doesn't want to ostracise himself from them, he needs their votes. I suspect an awful lot of the Evangelicals are tied in with them too. Although it would be hilarious to see a cat fight between Trump and Palin
I still think he's shitting himself over the Russian talk though, otherwise why bring it up again?
FINALLY!
This has bothered me as much as anything else, despite it being superficial in comparison.
It's the one slam dunk demonstration of bad ethics. Only two possible options should be presented;
1. If he chooses to continue going there there, he foots the bill.
2. He goes somewhere there he does not directly profit from.
If he picks 1, the US Government should double their costs as his business will benefit from having a President there routinely.

So he pisses the Tea Party off in one tweet and then pretty much the rest of the Republicans and his supporters in this one. Has he just pressed the self destruct button?
@langster
agree we must fight. The health care law failed because of Progressive pressure at the town halls. The moderates did not support the bill. Many of the marginal seats won by Republicans was the difference.

Yeah on the other hand (even if outlandish), getting something passed with moderate republicans and some democratic support might be easier then getting the tea party and the moderate republicans into the same boat.I have to hope it will get him, otherwise what's the point?

I really don't have a rational explanation as to why he would bring it up again, maybe the golf channel was on a commercial break?
Nows the time for Dems to begin the push towards a single payer system.Either after 4 years of this guy, Americans will be glad to have it, or after 2 years Dems take Congress in the midterms, he will be happy to sign it so long as it "repeals Obamacare"
Me too, it's absolutely disgusting. Did you see the Tweet I posted last night that showed nearly $17,000 charges to the Secret Service for golf cart hire? Unbelievable. Plus it's cost nearly $40 Million to protect Melania in New York so far, and yet he's cut meals on wheels for the sick, elderly and disabled. It's criminal and abhorrent.
Man of the people!
they are saying Ryan will remain speaker...cause no one else wants the job.
Its hard to see him bring a bill supported by Dems to the floor. But who knows.
We live in a brave new world.

'*thumbs up* Just teeing off as the country goes to shit!'

Single payer/Medicare for All will happen simply by default because the ACA is not sustainable in the arena of private health insurance company.
EDIT:
Several Republicans from even conservative states have said they need to find a way to provide affordable health care to people.
I can't see him getting anything passed working with the Dems. If he's pissed the Tea Party lot off and they wouldn't go for the draconian bill Ryan just served up, then there's no way they will go for anything made with the Dems cooperation, and I'm not sure there's enough moderate Republicans to help him get stuff through. I think he really may well be a Lame Duck President. Tonight's Tweets have certainly stirred up a hornets nest, be interesting to see where it all goes from here.
This seems mildly interesting given the Mosul bombing.
I saw that. no way he can explain this away.
Wonder who he will pin this on.

Sam Harris's latest podcast should be required listening for those doubting the Russian influence. Even if you despise Sam Harris, Anne Applebaum is well qualified to explain what is going on. The propaganda, constant misinformation, attacking the press, getting rich via governing, installing family & friends into government; it's all straight from the Russian/Soviet playbook.
You don't even need a smoking gun...it's plain to see.
The generals wanted it
So I just checked into fox news to see their reaction, they only mention the tweet attacking Hillary
I wonder if United supporters more liberal than most or that it seems to be a universal dislike/hatred of Trump?
Louise Mensch & Timothy Snyder both said exactly the same on Bill Maher's Real Time this week, it was a decent show this week, well worth a watch. Thanks for the info though I will go and listen to that podcast. Sounds very interesting.
Trump approval hits new low
http://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/207416/trump-approval-rating-drops-new-low.aspx
Saw on PBS -- the president that is above 50% approval in the next election cycle, his party will lose average 14 house seats. And if he is below 50% they will lose something like an average of 37 house seats.

She's also Tweeted to Jester about opening the Champagne much sooner than she thought. She's getting all hyped up about something. I know she's an arse, but she's been on to things over the last few weeks, just hope she's right.
Generals. He know more that the them.
But you cant expect the genius to be doing everything as the president.
But there's a blue tickDon't do this to yourself Langy
"Any minute now, he's going to pivot to the left"
"I'll wait and see what he does in office"
"He's New York Liberal"
"It's up to the Dems to work with Trump to pass Healthcare reforms, they should raise above party politics"
and now
"Not a lot will be done, because Dems can't work with him as it doesn't help them for mid term elections"
I'm still baffled at the fact people are trying to apply the slightest hint of logic to his thoughts.

"CO2 is the elixir of life"
"Junk science"
They are all a bunch of Red Dreams waiting for Trump to pivot.

Youngsters tend to be more liberal and forums will have more youngsters on them, generally speaking.
Yeah, that definitely means whatever she's about to post has some truth to it. First time i've seen Russian disinformation first hand.
This has to be an orchestrated troll by Putin. Fixing polls now.
The women you just posted there, Louise Mensch. And with Russian disinformation I meant that other account you also just posted.
Oh ok, thanks, it's just that @senorgregster was replying to Trumps 6 year old Tweet, lost me a bit that's all.
I wasn't taking too much stock in what she was posting until I saw the actual disinformation too. Like you I had never seen it before, she clearly has people worried. I'm not getting my hopes up too high just yet though. I will give her a bit of leeway but if she lets us down and it's a big nothing burger she will go on the list with Maddow, Rick Wilson and Tom Arnold who I now take with huge pinches of salt and very rarely quote anymore. Although Maddow is slightly different, but her tax returns scam was a real let down. Rick Wilson was the worst though with his massive countdowns and huge promises that never materialised. I hope Mensch isn't going to be the same.
She's just retweeting others at the moment, but it's all centring around Nunes and his visit to the White House. Basically saying it's a huge cover up and he needs to recuse himself from the investigation.
Well, Trump is following up his failed attempt at healthcare reform with an attempt to destroy the environment...
