Guarantee that Trump saw Botham Jeans family hug Amber and thought he could facilitate the same thing with the British parents. loving insanity. If I was in that situation I’d want to know which room that POS that killed my son was in so I could get a few punches in.

If a world leader presented me the killer of my child, it would either have them tied to a chair and offered a crowbar. Or presented from the neck up.

So yeah, I get the feeling Trump did this to get the media infuriated with him while Pence and Crazy Rudy crush the impeachment investigation. Maybe if Nixon kicked an 8 months pregnant woman right in the gut, he would’ve been able to serve out his term.

Lol if you think he is able to calculate that far, let alone calculate at all

Yeah, whatever that bit about Pence and Giulianni was aside: this being the plan would include Trump anticipating a failed overture from Trump. I don't think he can do that.

This incident certainly confirms the conventional thread wisdom about how Trump feels about being a parent.

I'm definitely going to trust the "pocketbook model", "stock market model", and "unemployment model" to accurately predict that Minnesota is going to swing Trump in 2020.

Minnesota is not the liberal bastion people think it is. It stays liberal, but just barely. Hillary won the state by 1.5%, so if Trump flips a state in 2020, that will be the one. Virginia going red on the other hand, as their model predicts, is just absurd. It has not only flipped blue, but is trending bluer.

This isn’t a question for you directly but a rhetorical one: If Pence and Rudy prove to Trump’s co-conspirators that dick loving squat happens when you tell Congress to gently caress off, what’s preventing them all from just ignoring Congress and giving them no evidence to run off of for the inquiry? Where the hell does the House go from here?

Trump is -11 in Minnesota.

His best approval rating is like +11 in Alabama. He is above water in only like 20 states, where he's somewhere between +1 and +5 in most.

Well, for starters, they have all the people who already testified.

As a practical matter, it is less of a problem if Pence gets away with giving the finger to Congress than Rudy. Pence is the sitting VP. He has considerably more protection than random witness #3. However, if Rudy doesn't face serious consequences, then you've got a real problem.

There is already enough evidence of impeachable offenses. There is already evidence of obstruction. That's ultimately where the house goes.

Yeah but he didn't call him himself. He had someone else set all that up so he could take whatever credit he thought was there

"I want you to find the family that this ambassador killed"

"Oh are we going to give them a payout?"

"Nope"

"An apology?"

"Nuh uh"

"......Drone strike?"

"I am going to make them hug. Also start working on my Nobel Peace Prize acceptance ceremony."

Wasn't the thing that the ambassador's wife wanted to apologize, and the British family said they'd only accept an apology in person and in England(So that she could then be prosecuted)? I imagine this is trump's galaxy brain play, like "Well she apologized in person in America so now she doesn't have to go to Britain to face prosecution. Checkmate."

This doesn't translate to Trump losing the election and definitely does not translate to Trump losing Republican voters. Republicans disliking Trump just means they'll be slightly disappointed as they pull the lever for him.

Hey not true, he also cares about them if he can use them for leverage to lower his divorce settlement:

quote:

As Trump engaged Ivana in an epic public feud, he dispatched a bodyguard to his triplex apartment with instructions to bring his elder boy down to his office. Don, still not talking to his father, descended with the bodyguard to the 28th floor, and a few minutes later, Ivana, who described all this in her book, got a phone call. It was Trump, looking for some leverage by announcing that he was going to keep Don and raise him alone.

“Okay, keep him,” Ivana said she told him. “I have two other kids to raise.”

A few minutes later—his bluff out-bluffed—Trump ordered his boy to be taken back upstairs. “Donald never had any intention of keeping his son,” Ivana wrote. Donald Jr. was 12 at the time, and he stopped speaking to his father for a year.
