From The Pig In The White House

Didn't say it wasn't true.  And I'm not concerned with disrespecting the office, given who occupies it.  I just think it serves to fire up the R base, needlessly.  Is it really going to fire up the D base so much more that they'd turn out ?  Or capture more centrists?

 This.  Trump is a bottom feeder.  Going low is what he wants.

"Benghazi, as old readers of that thread are well aware, got my attention and I questioned lots of his decisions from that point on. As in “line in the sand”."

Four Americans died. You think Hilary and Obama killed them? What about the many thousands murdered by the Bush wars? Crickets.

"Anarchy is destructive — civil discourse and free speech and hate speech are different. Ugly speech is just plain ugly."

Tell that to your das trump. As the "president" (LOL), he's setting the example, especially for his cult and other conservatives.

 What is going to "fire up" the Dem base and bring out more voters? Perhaps people have to realize there is a real threat to Democracy and have to be scared out of their lethargy. 

The Republicans have continuously won elections by scaring people. In 1988 they scared them about Black criminals. In 2004 they scared them about Gays. Now they are scaring them about "Illegal Aliens". 

In 1992 the Dems won the Presidency on "It's the economy, stupid". In 2008 it was "Hope and Change". What's the message to counter Trump saying he has made America "Great Again" and everything else is "Fake News"?

The pig probably had no idea who this guy was until one of his WH radicals told him. 

 Here's convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza on the daily presidential intelligence briefing griping about Trump's favorite pre-presidency adversary Rosie O'Donnell.
I imagine after that the president immediately asked who is this guy and how do we give him a pardon?

 Turns out the "Honorable" Ted Cruz of Texas made the suggestion.

According to the rumor mill, Rod Blagojevich and Martha Stewart are next. Both have Apprentice credits, even though Martha and Donald had a public feud.

Why didn't Ted Cruz seek a pardon for his father?

But the pig cannot pardon for non-federal (e.g. state & local) charges. Mueller probably already saw this coming from miles away, that's why he referred Cohen to NY Southern District for example.

 I guess that if real Americans are NOT fired up by what Trump is doing, then we're pretty well screwed.  Of course, Democrats are still split by the Hillary-Bernie argument so I guess we are screwed.

 Southern District of NY is federal.  That said, Mueller has been working with the NY Attorney General's office.

 I stand corrected.
