MAGAThread XVI: Raising the Barr

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

It is possible to think he is doing a good job, but also that he has committed crimes that he should be punished for. The grounds for impeachment, after all, are not "he is doing badly". It's "he committed high crimes or misdemeanours"

True, that is. Though doing your job properly is intertwined with not committing such high crimes and misdemeanors.

Well, in our mind, certainly. However, there are people with less respect for the ideals of a liberal democracy like the US, who see 'following the law' as not a prerequisite for being a good leader.

I think that's most people.

Most people don't give about that. They just want a clean-cut person with a pretty face who's charismatic enough for them to relate to.

If JFK was bald and fat, no one would've given a shit about him.

Martin Van Buren was none of those things.

Martin Van Buren was none of those things.

He wasn't very tall, though. Neither was James Madison, who never weighed more a hundred pounds.

Trump's approval rating still sucks. Still lower than Obama's.

[Gormwood]

Trump's approval rating still sucks. Still lower than Obama's.

Even Nixon had higher approval than him. Sad!

But Obama having more approval than him is sure to set Donnie off, assuming his bootlickers aren't hiding it from him.

Mr. Putin, you should let you representative handle such matters. The President is working towards your cause.

"I am the President!" scowls Putin. "10 years in gulag."

Saw the comments of Trumps mother being a Scot. My wife mentioned, have you ever noticed a picture of her? I did a minor look of photos and see Fred prominently display. Mary is missing.

Anyone betting on him saying something stupid about the rest of the royal family if he returns to Washington? The fact of his motorcade having so few people congregating to see him must grate at him.

A bet involves uncertainty.

So, they're thinking of cutting the interest rates due to the trade wars and other economic woes.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trade-risk ... 1559640601

Yeah, by 2021 or 2022, we'll be in a recession. Earliest is 2020 though, but all of this is my opinion based on what I see, and what my dad as a banker is telling me.

Assuming it doesn't happen in 2020 or Donnie doesn't wreck the nation into a Balkanized doomsday prepper's wet dream by then, a Democrat in the White House is all but guaranteed in 2024 if W. Bush's tenure is any indication.

Aye, but what if a Democrat wins 2020? Because if that happens, it all but guarantees a Republican will win in 2024. Ah, this is going to be pick your poison kind of scenario, isn't it?

Depends on severity really, they are bound to happen.

It doesn't really, if the recession hits in 2021 then there'll be a dip, sure, but loads of time for recovery by promotimg stimulus and whathaveyou. 2022 is a tad trickier and you'd have to give up on the midterms wholesale, but that doesn't rule out 2024.

Recession seems less of an issue than the handling thereof.

Remember, recessions are natural and cannot be blamed on anyone, but Trump must have all the credit for any improvement in the economy.

Also Barr and Ross will be formally held in contempt unless documentation regarding the citizenship question and other stuff pertaining to the census is turned over by Thursday.
