nothing to fear. History shows the mid-term elections (during a presidents first term) generally swing the other way:

Quote:
The 2010 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, in the middle of Democratic President Barack Obama's first term.

The Democratic Party suffered massive defeats in many national and state level elections, with many seats switching to Republican Party control. Although the President's party usually loses congressional, statewide and local seats in midterm elections, the 2010 midterm election season featured some of the biggest losses since the Great Depression.
history repeated itself; but not as massive a "swing" as seen in the past. We did good !

It wasn't as bad as it could have been. However, eventually those turkeys will regain power and then it will be all over. They will bring in enough foreigners that will be dependent on entitlements to ensure a permanent change in demographics. They will change laws to allow felons to vote. Hell they did just that yesterday in my own state of FL. 1,600,000 new FL democratic voters were created overnight. As of right now, FL will never elect another Republican any higher than the office of local dogcatcher. They will make Puerto Rico the 51st state- more democratic votes. They will stop at nothing.

They will force Socialism down the throats of Americans by any means necessary. They will do that because Americans are too stupid to accept it on their own. And they will succeed. It's just a matter of time.

We got a stay of execution when Trump was elected, nothing more. The execution will occur. It's just been delayed slightly.

If Beto gets that close in Texas, I'm afraid it's a matter of time.

Missouri passed a medical marijuana amendment to our Constitution. And it's only going to be taxed 4%.

Prior to that it would have been a swamp creature based on their very arcane rules. And with a big senate majority minus the likes of Flake, McCain, etc Trump can get his permanent MAGA replacement appointed and approved early next year.

acting AG Whitaker: Bob, where are you in this case? you have 4 days to wrap things up and have a report on my desk.

the DOJ takes and passes on cases all the time. they do a value determination of all cases. what will it cost to chase this down. how likely we get a conviction. how important is this case to the public perception of justice being served.

did Martha Stewart really pose a risk to public safety, or did they want to make an example of a rich person to scare the rest of us into telling the truth when they come knocking.

Jeff Sessions was the worst mistake in the history of MAGA.


So much for that 43-D underwater chess, "Sessions is our guy" BS. Jeff's fellow senators, especially Grassley and Grahamnesty bullied the president into keeping him on when he is clearly useless as tits on a boar hog.

Buh bye, Jeff. Don't forget your fainting couch and mint julep glassware.

Gonna drop this here, from August, 2017....



Looks like Trump was playing a little 3-d chess when he casually slipped this fella into the AG office a year ago....
