Serious. He actually fought to keep Muslims included in the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedoms, the law that would become the primary building block of later Constitutional protections.

You asshole. Your wife is a saint and shouldn’t have to put up with your philandering!

After yesterday, I don’t think it’s completely unlikely that we’ll see him actually stroke out on live television.

I had the gross misfortune to hear some of the press conference on the way home from work yesterday. I seem to remember he actually implied that the “news” was a test to expose the leaks.

right, but that primary challenge could come from the center if nothing is done about trump. it all depends on particular districts and the approval ratings.

I’m with you — I think there’s an outside shot he declares that he’s “fixed” everything, made America great again, etc. after the mid-terms and decides to retire.

The implied probability of the current Landbrokes odds (10/11) is about 48% for leaving the presidency by impeachment or resigning before the full term. The implied probability of the odds (8/11) for serving a full term is 68% though. There is a discrepancy which comes from Landbrokes getting big action on the leaving…

Personally I see the best outcome as four years of simmering chaos in which the ineptitude and corruption creates its own kind of gridlock so that miraculously he is able to “accomplish” nothing in four years. Anyone who expected a smooth-running authoritarian regime didn’t see Trump on the campaign trail, reality TV,…

i think (hope?) the GOP will realize he’s killing their brand and get impeachment papers going before the midterm elections get into full swing. i’m betting sometime before july 31, 2018.

Is it sad that I know your username is a play on a ST:TNG reference? Yes. It is.

I’m with you: an external force isn’t going to end this. Rather, his ticker is going to explode or he strokes out. You cannot go at this pace for months, let alone years. He already carries, what, 100 extra pounds? Sad!

Expecting to see trump age is like expecting to see Darth Vader age. With apologies to Obi Wan, he’s more spray tan, foundation, and corn silk than man now.

He knows that would make him a historical laughing stock for all time.

Then again, Obama actually did his job competently and presumably put thought into the major decisions he had to make on a daily basis. Trump’s ego is getting battered but he’s mostly just loafing around. Like one of those medieval kings who did nothing but eat and behead people on whims. That’s a much less stressful…

Naw, he’s in there for all four years or until he dies of a stroke. The Republicans are REALLY good at falling in line with the party and backing their own. Remember, Hillary had more unfaithful electorates than Trump.
They’re already saying the REAL story here is the leak, not the god awful shit that was exposed in…

Obama in 2008 on the left and Obama in 2012 on the right. If that’s the toll 4 years took on an active and healthy 47 year old man, then what sort of horror are we in for from the fast-food devouring deflated basketball of a man currently calling himself POTUS?

There’s a chance that a special election can be held if it can be proven that the administration is so inept that even the VP can’t be trusted. It’s a very tiny chance, but a chance nonetheless.

I was definitely too optimistic, but I’m also not sure how he could complete a term at this rate.

I have him lasting well over two months but an almost zero chance of seeing out four years. We keep raging at what this presidency is doing to us and the country, but look at what it’s doing to Trump himself. It’s killing him. That’s about the only silver lining right now.

God I hope you’re right. He’s been in there less than one month and has already made a complete hash of everything. 2 more months of this would be quick in retrospect but still hellish to live through.
