Of course Whitehouse is part of coming up with that. Hilarious stuff. Seriously though - not so much pinning hope on our govt to make sure it doesn't happen but I do wonder if some countries will boycott the event if it is indeed held there.

Just remembered his account going dark about a year ago along with a bunch of other right wing talking heads. What was that about again? Protest over Fox News free speech or something?

I don't mind Bernie per se but I'm at the point where I'm sick of blaming systems like democracy, capatalism, socialism etc instead of blaming the fact that the reason they don't work is because of how shit the people involved in them are. Bernie is better than any other candidate but I still can't believe that a guy like him has any true empathy for people in a situation he isn't in. I hope I'm wrong but the cliche that the best person to lead is the one who'll never want keeps ringing through to me these days.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for those conversations:
McConnell: You're an idiot. You can't hold the G7 at your resort.
Trump: Don't you talk to m...
McC: Shut up and listen to the adult. You're only out of jail because I want you to be. I will protect you as long as you are useful to me. The second that ends, you'll wish you were allowed to go to your resort.
Trump: It's a great resor...
McC: You're telling them you won't host it there. Then you're turning off your phone, and we're not going to hear from you until Monday.
Trump: But I was...
McC: There are 3 judge appointments on your desk. Sign them. Go to your rallies. I need to sort out your Syria debacle.

To be fair to Trump, his language is usually made-up.

‘I’d be open to it’: Trump voters warming up to impeachment as president’s Ukraine story unravels

In one of the pieces that both the Washington Post and the New York Times are famous for, a visit to talk to Donald Trump voters outside the Beltway about how they feel about the president three years after the election reveals cracks in his support as more information becomes available about his Ukraine phone call that precipitated an impeachment inquiry.

According to the Post’s report, they ventured out to Staten Island, or specifically: “New York’s 11th Congressional District, a swath of the country as good a place as any to gauge how a defining moment in American democracy is playing out.”

Describing the district as “… a sliver of un-gentrified Brooklyn and all of Staten Island, the ‘forgotten borough’ of New York City that is home to many civil servants, police officers, firefighters and the Wu-Tang Clan,” the Post added, “It has an expressway that locals call the ‘Mason-Dixon line,’ which roughly divides the more diverse, more Democratic northern crescent of the borough from the whiter, more Republican rest of it. Its voters backed Donald Trump for president in 2016 and elected to Congress in 2018 a Democratic centrist named Max Rose who has called progressives ‘hipster socialists’ and a GOP opponent ‘a mouth-pisser.'”

Zeroing in of self-professed Trump voters, the Post’s Stephanie McCrummen found some steadfast supporters, but more than a few who now have their doubts about Trump.

As Joe Tompkins, who described himself as both a “gay sheet metal worker,” and a “disillusioned Democrat turned Trump supporter,” presidential impeachment may be called for.

“He had watched the Democratic leader of the impeachment inquiry, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), paraphrase the complaint during a congressional hearing, and thought Schiff was ‘a total joke,'” the Post reports. “He had seen how Trump was reacting, and thought the president was ‘a total and complete buffoon’ capable of anything, and all of this had left him saying, ‘I’d be open to it if I saw that the facts were there.'”

Tompkins was not the only one to have reservations about Trump now.

Trump supporter Robert Rusello chimed in to say, “Don’t get me wrong. If he did something illegal with — who was it, Turkey? Or Syria? “Ukraine! That’s the thing. If he did something illegal, then that’s no good.”

Candace Crupi, a Trump supporter, added, “Maybe some of it has some validity.”

Richard Wickstrom, described as a “reluctant Trump supporter,” admitted he has become obsessed with the unfolding drama and now is leaning towards impeachment depending on what comes out of the House inquiry.

“I think what he did was wrong,” he explained. “Was he criminal in it? I don’t know. I think he went overboard. Was it a treasonous thing? “I want to see what comes out of the woodwork.”

Obama should have never drawn the red line in the first place. However, under the advice of his intelligence community, he chose not to act over uncertain information.

Trump on the other hand, launched 58 missiles, while his intelligence community was telling him not to, because the evidence was shaky, turned out they were right. Obama looks like a bitch. Trump commits a war crime. In the grand scheme, basically the same right?!

It's move on to stage two of Trump: Okay maybe I did a wrong, but the other guy did it worse!

Wouldn’t bet against her jumping in if it looks like Bernie is going to win - just to fcuk him over and gift Trump another 4 years. Corporate America will be well pleased.
