If it is proven he knowingly used campaign money to pay her off it is a big deal, since he has spent so much time denying that.

Avenatti is a tool with big dreams, lol.

You forgot to add "small" next to the word "tool".

Well Adam Schiff recently stated that they would RE-OPEN the investigation regarding Russian Collusion by Trump should they re-take the House.

And that's interesting that he said that 'cause that investigation hasn't been concluded as of yet.

Does Schiff know something we don't? Maybe the Democrats saw the "findings" by Mueller and none of them incriminate Trump so they'll just restart the "witch hunt" again?

Schiff wants to reopen it cause Nunes and co closed it down without subpoenaing all relevant witnesses

This most likely has to do with Nunes or a Nunes ally being guilty of something. In one of the indictments it listed an unnamed individual running for Congress under gop label was trying to get Clinton stolen emails

Avenatti is a brilliant lawyer. See his handling of a case involving nfl but he seems like a pos

the blue wave is gone and the media is scrabbling to do literally anything they can to save it.

I think it's gone as well but I'm still concerned that even if it is, the Dems might still eke out a razor-thin majority win when all's said than done.

I mean...that's all they need is a majority(they don't care by how much) so that they can start to try to overturn every Policy that Trump made and block him on EVERY BIT OF LEGISLATION he tries to pass. OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, AND OBSTRUCT will be their mission until 2020 where they'll look to unseat him.

But you had no problem with Newt Ginrich saying that obstructionism is the sole goal after Obama's first election right

Partisan shit

It's extremely close right now, but when I'm out I see Hawley's people, not McCaskill's. She's not doing enough in St. Charles County from what I can tell, and that's a mistake.

I'm not sure I really understand her strategy, but I've been visited by two different McCaskill canvassers. I also live in the city. She might just be looking to expand turnout in her key districts.

The executive branch doesn't "pass" legislation that the legislature would then block. This is basic civics.

What do you think is meant by obstruction? I think people view this very differently depending on their biases.

For example, I used the word "obstruct" quite a bit during Obama's presidency to describe a situation in which Republicans refused to work with the president at all, even on policy they would agree to if a Republican was president. I don't think it's fair to use the word to describe good faith disagreement on policy. We should expect Congress to vote according to their views and disagreeing with the President is not obstruction. Refusing to work with the President all together is.

If Trump wants to push forward with a policy to reduce drug prices or certain infrastructure spending I think Democrats would work with him on those policies assuming they can be done in a smart, non-corrupt way.

This aside from issue @Quipling pointed out with your post.

Gillum hasn't just been winning his debates against DeSantis, he's smashing DeSantis.

This dude is slimy as fuck and that’s saying something standing next to DeSantis

Gullum has been exposed, my friends in florida say he's going down

Yep, I predict that hype train gets derailed, Fl is always very unpredictable though. Right now I think DeSantis takes it

Maybe, a lot of stuff can change in two years. We should have a lot better idea of how Trump's economic strategy is playing out by then.

What strategy?

 

[LMP]

What strategy?

Only the best strategy, executed by the best people. MAGA!

But seriously, that is one thing that has been really baffling me about support for Trump. Every economic principle, whether it's your household or your whole country, says reduce spending and save (or pay down debt) when times are good, only go further into debt if it can't be avoided, i.e. when times are tough. Yet Trump has lowered income and increased debt during an economic boom. When the inevitable recession comes it will hurt all that much more than it should have.

At the same time, although everything is going well, he's applied sanctions to allies. He picked them because they sound good, not because they are sound economics. On the other hand, the countries that are fighting back against these sanctions are choosing them with great care for maximum impact on the US and minimal impact on their own economies. How can any of his supporters possibly consider this to be a good thing? He is forcing his closest allies to look elsewhere for trade partners so that when things take a downturn, they will be less dependent upon the US and thereby less help in dealing with the consequences.

And then there's this, just out today,
Trump's attacks on central bank rate hikes risk creating future economic trouble: Don Pittis

As markets have tumbled, U.S. President Donald Trump has been leading a charge against Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's interest rate increases, and he's not alone.

Investors watching markets slide have added their voices, worried that three rate hikes this year, one projected in December and another three next year will bring more carnage.


Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz faced similar criticism after last week's quarter-point hike to 1.75 per cent.

But while skittish markets — during a month when markets are often skittish — have focused on small rises in interest rates as the death knell for the current economic revival, there are good reasons to think the worries of traders are baseless.

So yeah, tl;dr you have to be an idiot to believe Trump knows what he is doing when it comes to the economy.

There is a strong sensible presence in Austin. It is amazing how well they do for some areas of TX. I dont think people realize how much the conservative states actually use government assistance. Especially TX. They would be broke beyond repair without the federal assistance they get!

1.6 million illegals doesn't help.
