Just another tried and true GOP bamboozle toolkit. Launch a phony investigation costing simply as a character assassination tactic. It worked so well with Hillary and Bill. And the public falls for it time and time again.

Josh Geltzer on what happens if Trump won’t concede in 2020.
National security expert Josh Geltzer on why we should be prepared for the worst.
National security expert Josh Geltzer on why we should be prepared for the worst.
"In February, Georgetown Law professor Josh Geltzer began to ponder aloud what would happen if President Donald Trump refused to leave office were he to be defeated in 2020. It sounded far-fetched, but Geltzer isn’t a conspiracy theorist. Actually, he served as senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council...
When he wrote his essay suggesting that perhaps it was time to start preparing for if Trump, who has repeatedly shown a willingness to overstep his constitutional authority, simply refused to leave the Oval Office, he was met with silence.
When Michael Cohen warned in his March testimony before Congress, “given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020 there will never be a peaceful transition of power,” he too was met with awkward silence.
But the anxieties gradually began to grow. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fretted about this possibility in a May interview in the New York Times. When Politico probed the question this summer, it noted: “Constitutional experts and top Republican lawmakers dismiss the fears as nonsense, noting there are too many forces working against a sitting president simply clinging to power—including history, law and political pressure.”
But commentators now seem less confident in those forces.
On Thursday, Edward Luce at the Financial Times noted how often Trump jokes about having a third term, observing that, because of Trump’s belief that he could face prosecution after he leaves office, “no other US president has faced the prospect of being re-elected or going to jail.”
He added that for Trump, losing the 2020 election is an existential threat, and he has openly invited foreign interference, while Mitch McConnell refuses to even consider legislation to secure the vote.
And even if Trump is truly joking when he tweets that he deserves to be credited two extra years in his existing term, years he believes were lost to the Mueller probe, or riffs on staying on the job long after he’d been term-limited out, the tweets send a dangerous message to his loyalists."

"Fans at a Portland Thorns soccer game this week appeared to boo Trump as Armed Forces enlistees pledged to obey his orders as part of a swearing-in ceremony that took place during halftime.
At the conclusion of the swearing-in, the crowd switched to cheering the new Armed Forces members. The boos appeared to only take place when [trump] was mentioned."

Trump fired us 'so they wouldn’t catch him,' his undocumented workers tell Samantha Bee
"Former Trump housekeeper and undocumented immigrant Victorina Morales said on TBS’ Full Frontal with Samantha Bee this week that she worked at Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf resort for years without any issues. “I was his personal housekeeper,” she said. That all changed when he decided to run....
“When I got there I asked the supervisor, ‘Do we need papers here?’” she told host Samantha Bee. “And she says, ‘No, no, it doesn’t matter. But in 2016, they started asking for documents. And then my manager told me, ‘This guy will take you somewhere where they make those papers.’” She was then given $175 for the fake documents, and continued working.
When investigative reporting began to reveal that undocumented workers were still employed at Trump’s clubs well into his ... anti-immigrant agenda, they said, that’s when the mass firings began. “He got rid of us,” another former worker told Bee. “For what? So they wouldn’t catch him having illegal workers.”"

Trump's BIZARRE Defense of Fellow Sexual Predator Brett Kavanaugh is Legally Incomprehensible

Chris Cuomo Challenges Immigration Head To Prove Trump's Bahamas Claim that some “very bad people” from the Bahamas could be trying to sneak into the U.S., And He Can't | HuffPost
"The renewed controversy over the Donald Trump nominated Justice has stirred the debate over Kavanaugh's fitness to serve on the Court. There are already calls for investigations and even inquiries into whether Kavanaugh should be impeached.
Among the justifications for his ouster from the bench is the now apparent fact that he lied to the Senate during his confirmation hearing. And he had no business being confirmed at all considering the fact that the FBI failed to investigate the charges against him, including those by Ramirez.
Enter Donald Trump.
It comes as no surprise that Trump would rush to the defense of his nominee. Not just because he needs to validate his choice, but also because they share so much in common. Trump is also a serial sexual predator who has been accused by more than twenty women of harassment and/or assault. So naturally Trump lashed out on Twitter to protect Kavanaugh from the truths that are emerging.

Wonder how the "stable genius" will try to SHARPIE his way out of THIS:
Trump misspells libel in furious outburst over new Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault allegation
"Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for liable, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue, Mr. Trump wrote."
"Come to his rescue..."
Trump speak, no doubt, that IN EFFECT, DIRECTS his henchman, BARR, to cover-up Kavanaugh's crimes...
like Barr does for der Fuhrer.

Excellent questions but we know conservatives have little interest in logic, reason, careful deliberation and consensus building before acting on anything. It's shoot first ask questions later if at all. Just go with your gut and charge the catastrophic failures (Iraq War, bank deregulation, climate change, tax cuts, gutting clean air regulations, gutting clean water regulations, etc) to future generations and onto the next bamboozle.

The people who call themselves Conservatives often have cheapened the meaning of conservative. To conserve is a high idea when we are wanting to conserve pollution to the point that there isn't enough pollutiono to hurt the earth.
Sadly, some people have hijacked a good term and turned it into a term that refers to people who don't care what they do to the environment as long as they make a big profit.
The problem seems to be the idea of being conservative is the assumption is what has always worked before will continue to work and what we've always believed we have no need to ever question that and learn anything new, no advance in our knowledge or understanding of the universe is possible. Of course we live in a dynamic world with constant change. You don't change and you die. An idea fully embraced in the private sector but the public sector seems another story.

You are right. I wish there was some other word used instead of conservative which can have a good meaning.
How about The National Assholes Party instead of Conservatives? Ponounced Ah so le or Ah so les!
Trump can get this changed if we ask him to. He is our Great Mentor who can do all things that we Mere Humans can't do.
If you doubt me, just ask Trump. He will tell you that it is true.
Trump has super human powers. Perhaps he is the Anti Christ mentioned in Revelation! He certainly is not Jesus coming down to rescue his saints! Trump doesn't understand the concept rescue!
Trump understands the concept to defraud, but rescue is a foreign concept to Trump!
Imagine that!

New York Prosecutors Subpoena Donald Trump's Tax Returns: AP | HuffPost
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City prosecutors have subpoenaed President Donald Trump’s tax returns, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Monday.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office recently sent a subpoena to Trump’s accounting firm seeking the last eight years of state and federal tax returns for Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, according to the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Vance, a Democrat, subpoenaed the Trump Organization last month for records related to payments former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen helped arrange to the porn actress Stormy Daniels after she claimed she had an affair with Trump.

In the real world there are consequences to lying and ignoring subpoenas not so much anymore.
If the case against Trump’s corruption were so weak, then why would Trump and the White House have to go to such extraordinary lengths to stonewall Congress’ ability to exercise its most basic and fundamental oversight authority?
This juxtaposition will be on full display on Tuesday afternoon, when former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski testifies to the Judiciary Committee. The White House has placed sharp limits on what Lewandowski can discuss, ordering him to discuss only what’s in the Mueller report, and not to discuss any private communications that go beyond this.
At the same time, the White House has also directed two others to refuse questioning: former White House secretary Rob Porter, and former Trump campaign adviser and White House deputy chief of staff Rick Dearborn.
Bottomless corruption
It’s important to note that these three men were witnesses to some of the most shocking acts of corruption on Trump’s part, as the special counsel’s report details.
Porter, for instance, was in the middle of Trump’s efforts to get former White House counsel Donald McGahn to deny ever trying to get him to fire the special counsel. Trump directed Porter to tell McGahn to create a false record to this effect — which McGahn refused to do.
Get ready for a spectacular display of Trump’s corruption

The planet wrecker on Pennsylvania Ave can't help himself. Just another way he wants you dead. Last week he demolished clean water this week clean air.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected on Wednesday to formally revoke California’s legal authority to set tailpipe pollution rules that are stricter than federal rules, in a move designed by the White House to strike twin blows against both the liberal-leaning state that President Trump has long antagonized and the environmental legacy of President Barack Obama.
The announcement that the White House will revoke one of California’s signature environmental policies will come while Mr. Trump is traveling in the state, where he is scheduled to attend fund-raisers in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

Trump announces that he's 'revoking' part of the Clean Air Act, an absolute violation of the law
But hey, according to the so-called CHOSEN ONE, and his cult followers, he can do whatever the fuck he WANTS to do. DAMN THE LAW.
Meanwhile, der Fuhrer has his sights set on California's homeless as well. Seems they're "spoiling the view." Maybe Trump has a "final solution" for them too.

Trump can't stop obsessing over Elizabeth Warren's crowd sizes
"On Wednesday morning, Donald Trump tweeted that he was “revoking California’s federal waiver on emissions.” Which is interesting mostly because California’s waiver doesn’t come from a regulation at the Environmental Protection Agency.
It’s not the result of an executive order signed by President Obama. That waiver is built into the Clean Air Act, which from the outset explicitly granted California the right to set standards that were tougher than those required by the federal government.
If every criminal would announce their intention to break the law on Twitter, law enforcement would be a good deal neater. Trump can no more revoke California’s ability to define its own standards than he can wipe out the Clean Air Act by fiat. Which is exactly what he’s attempting to do."
