Oh, yeah, I heard about that. I didn't see anything too bad there. Nothing you wouldn't expect from an angsty teenager. Of course, I'm sure there's plenty there for crusaders to crusade about.

Looks like things are happening. New Zealand's Prime Minister announces ban on all assault rifles following massacre under strong gun laws

^Something we should do here- but probably won't.
Meanwhile here's a rundown on who's running in 2020.

Yeah, I saw that. Imagine my surprise. I hope it sticks.Gary wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:10 amLooks like things are happening. New Zealand's Prime Minister announces ban on all assault rifles following massacre under strong gun laws
"Speaking of people who don't know how to use a comb." No wonder I like him.
But poor Cory Booker is not doing so well in the polls so far.

^It's early yet. We'll see what the field looks like once people start dropping out.

Yeah, hopefully he'll get to participate in a debate or something to raise his profile.
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
And the Mueller Report is in!
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
There has been speculation that rumors of the Report nearing completion is why President Trump has been having a rash of meltdowns since last weekend. The next few weeks are going to be interesting, especially since economic signs are pointing to a recession.

Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
If the report actually amounts to anything. The lack of any new indictments is not a good sign.
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
I thought there were still several sealed indictments yet to be opened.

Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
^I heard talk about that but other sources stated that no further indictments were coming.

Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
Would there be indictments related to the Russian investigation itself, or would that be left to Congress? All of the indictments so far were collateral damage that came up while he was poking around.
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
It's possible that with all the stonewalling that he couldn't find anything to run with. Regardless Trump supporters are already calling this a victory for him. Congress can still investigate but that will look quite partisan. Trump will survive this and since the political landscape hasn't changed much there's more than an OK chance he'll win reelection.
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
And it's being reported that Mueller found now evidence of collusion (how I'm not quite sure as Trump was being rather obvious about it). It will be interesting how he explains the infamous Trump Tower meeting, but in the end this pretty much guarantees Trump's reelection.
Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
I would be surprised if he wins reelection because: economic indicators are not looking good; his core group and also Independents are figuring out they got shafted on tax cuts; the areas where jobs were promised are getting screwed; the continued trade war; foreign policy is a mess; the recent Boeing crashes are shedding light on too many acting Secretaries -- the list goes on. Meanwhile, New York State authorities are directing attention to his business dealings along with his children's. He could be looking at state level indictments waiting for him the moment he leaves office. The near future is not looking good for him in a political sense.Lupine wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 3:10 pmIt's possible that with all the stonewalling that he couldn't find anything to run with.
