What's better, leaving office and moving on or trying to do some Hitler cosplay shit?

That's what's so funny, there's no chance it's finished by the time he leaves office

Not unlikely*

The actually running of the country holds no interest for him.

She's only medium well.

If the red states do, there's no reason for blue states to take the high road

Sadly, this is the truth.

Forced turnover, additional seats….and the House needs more seats too*

Well, you shouldn't say it was staged, because DOJ will probly trump up some charges against you.*

They’re too busy politicizing seashells*

Posted by Sounder This clip is from the un-aired portion of Trump's interview with CBS 60 Minutes. He claimed Democrats wanted to hug him after the shooting. Then Norah O'Donnell asked Trump about conspiracy theories surrounding the shooting. He couldn't imagine where they came from. pic.twitter.com/YSR28b6Als
