US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

ABC/Ipsos poll:

70% of Americans believe Trump did something wrong

57% want him impeached

51% want him impeached *and* removed from office

21% made that decision this after last weeks hearings

Those are some terrible numbers for Trump after just one week of public hearings.

A White House official tells me this morning’s Fed meeting took place in the White House residence - the president’s personal quarters- not in the West Wing, where the Oval Office is. I am told the president has not yet been in the West Wing today.

Well, duh. They need to transfer him to one of those hospital beds with wheels first.

57% is a pretty eye-popping stat

xps

Also: "21% made that decision this after last weeks hearings."

how is that possible considering the hearings have historically low levels of pizazz

A @CBSNews investigation has uncovered a possible pay-for-play scheme involving the Republican National Committee and President Trump's nominee for ambassador to the Bahamas.

he was asked to buy the maga hat for $500k, totally cool and totally legal.

that sounds like business as usual to me, if, like everything trump does, a little more blatant

i mean dan rooney wasn't particularly qualified to serve as ambassador to ireland

Vindman understandably nervous and absolutely crushing it.

Vindman's nervous, inspiring opening statement was, to coin a phrase, unimpeachable.

Jinx!

our man still hasn't surfaced FYI

Disclosing just the cholesterol is bizarre

Yeah, he definitely underwent some specialized cardiac or neurologic evaluations. I was skeptical before, but I'm convinced now.

He’s probably fine but they’re so shifty and weird about everything

Guys, they went out of their way to say this DEFINITELY isn't a cardiac issue. ABSOLUTELY NOT, how DARE you, sir.

And they're even going to check up on it in a couple months to make quadruply sure that it isn't a cardiac issue, totally normal procedure, nothing to see here.

Just seems stupid to lie unless it’s something severe. But they also love lying.

It would be funny if he just disappeared but the tweets kept coming and the white house acted like everything was normal.

There is no way his cholesterol is that normal.

he is on statins

cholesterol listed but not blood pressure. hmm

Just in: President Trump's blood pressure reported to be perfect over beautiful

oh my god Nunes is gonna spend the whole 45 minutes asking "are you aware of this Hunter Biden thing"

Seems like a massive waste of time

oh my god he's gonna accuse them of leaking to the press

I don't know how anyone, even a Republican, can listen to Nunes without their eyes rolling so far back it causes some sort of retinal damage. Yet in bizarro world Shifty Schiff is the liar and Nunes is the truth teller.

It’s pretty crazy that trump imperiled his presidency to get dirt on biden when there hasn’t even been a single primary yet and he has no way of knowing who the nominee will be.

It's almost as if his brain were a dead octopus on a plate aimlessly spasming under a spray of soy sauce.

youtube.oldboy

maybe he really is dead. idk. just got a shuddering premonition.

xxxpost I think the idea was to knock Biden down so he would not be the nominee. Thinks he can beat Bernie or Warren easier.

He’s pretty stupid to think that imo.

The polls support it kind of. But he more than anyone should know that the “enthusiasm gap” matters a lot and is hard to measure before election day.

Biden was the only candidate beating him in swing states. As much as I like Warren or Bernie, they still don't have a lead in the electoral college.

deep statins

Polls are weird things months before the primaries

they're relatively worthless in isolation, maybe equally so in aggregate

yeah but you need to schedule your ratfucking early. can't wait for people to start voting.

You define your opponent as early as possible, before they get a chance to define themselves. The way Trump did it is idiotic, but trying to dig up dirt on Biden was business as usual. It even seemed to work, there really was someone at NYT stupid enough to bite.

trump is also a dumb, old, racist idiot who can't absorb new information, and probably thinks biden looks like the obvious nominee because he's the only one that looks like a Politician to him - an old white guy with a big smile, who he'd heard of before his brain turned completely into television mush.

it's not really a mystery why they targeted Biden. also doesn't really matter.

I feel like re: Trump's health we could be heading for a Woodrow Wilson scenario

you think Melania's going to run the country?

Sort of. More like Scavino will keep tweeting, Grisham will keep talking, and a committee of people will be Shadow Trump
