@coldjoint,
1. Anything is possible.
2. Let us all hope and pray to god that you are wrong.

This was actually what nailed HRC's coffin shut.
What she did to the DNC will go down as the most disgusting act of self-sabotage in US political history.
@hightor,
As he said three years ago in reference to the Trump University suit, "I never settle". Then, as here, of course he did.
@blatham,
so much winning.... sooooooooooooo much....
@Region Philbis,
How's Trump U's fooball team?? when do they play Penn State ?
@farmerman,
My understanding was that the football program was cancelled due to financing shortages. But the cheerleader squad was kept on and moved to continue their great work over at the Business Ethics department.
@farmerman,
The Colluders of Trump U
team mascot: snake
sanctioned by NCAA in 2005 for team-wide PED use...
known for inability by wide receivers to hold on to the ball...
quarterback suspended six games in 2008 for inappropriately touching cheerleader...
disbanded in 2009...
(noting the inevitability of a cheerleader reference)
I don't get Bloomberg making noise about entering the Dem primary. Is this just that sense of entitlement many multi-billionaires seem to have that they are actually way, way better, smarter, more deserving than everyone else? A personal grudge against Warren and/or Sanders? A consequence of his membership in the captialists-R-us crowd?
Anyone have a good take on this?

Looks like he's seeing if you really can buy yourself a US presidency.
Might be time to list a few prerequisites for the key to the nation.
Not much of a shocker, this.
Quote:House Republicans’ latest plan to shield President Trump from impeachment is to focus on at least three deputies — U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and possibly acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — who they say could have acted on their own to influence Ukraine policy.
All three occupy a special place in the Ukraine narrative as the people in most direct contact with Trump. As Republicans argue that most of the testimony against Trump is based on faulty secondhand information, they are sowing doubts about whether Sondland, Giuliani and Mulvaney were actually representing the president or freelancing to pursue their own agendas. The GOP is effectively offering up the three to be fall guys.

I go with the rich white guy entitlement theory. It’s not hard at all to understand him seeing himself as “way, way better, smarter, more deserving than everyone else”
@blatham,
maybe, if Bloomberg and Plump are the designated shitters, they could, like matter and anti-matter just annihilate each other with a vast release of dark-side energy.
Or not.
Yesterday I was listening to a man from Newsweek giving voice to a creeping fear that I think many of us are harboring. That being, we as a republic are not equipped to handle a sitting president who is so clearly contemptuous of the judicial and legislative branches of government.
He gave voice to a gruesome scenario - contemplating our real options in the days following a Donald Trump defeat in the November 2020 election. Part of me still Pooh-poohs such musing, but I am always left with nagging questions. Congress appears impotent to enforce any of its subpoenas. Federal judges are ordering that he do this, or relinquish that, but he is basically saying “make me”.
And when you consider that the Federal Marshalls are under the auspices of the justice department run by the completely compromised Bill Barr...
You tell me - if Trump decides he ain’t goin’ anywhere, who’s going to make him leave?
@snood,
It's not as far-fetched as it sounds. It will be telling if the Supreme Court starts reversing all the lower court rulings which have been against Trump.
@hightor,
Yes. If the SC conservative majority allow that institution to fail, then things turn abruptly critical.
