Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise.

I think he believes he has better things to do with his life than put up with the dysfunction in the United States Senate that appears to not be in no hurry to abate. 
Trump has been President for 9 months now and he has not signed a significant piece of legislation.  His only legislative accomplishment is Gorsuch.  The Republican Congress hasn't even passed a budget yet.

You would be wrong.  That is his excuse but he would not win because of Iran and pro-Trump sentiment in Tennessee.  I believe GS was alluding to the former while I was called away.

I doubt it. 

In Tennessee, Trump's net approval rating is down 23 points. Indiana saw a negative swing of 17 points. Both states have Senate races in 2018.

an actual conservative would want taxes substantively lowered and the tax code fundamentally reformed.  a conservative would want to unambiguously control immigration.  a conservative would want our enemies to be bluntly warned of the destruction that would ensue in the event they physically attack the usa.  a conservative would want government agencies to be deflated or even eliminated.  a conservative would want a president who fearlessly responds to attacks from the corporate media industrial complex who've scoffed at and lied to the "little people" for generations.  a conservative would want trade deals renegotiated or eliminated if they don't benefit the usa.  i could go on.

a conservative doesn't oppose our only opportunity to meaningfully address these issues just because they can't get past the personality of the guy steering the ship or their own disappointment over losing control of a fucking piece of shit political party.  those who do are permanently discredited in the effort to define "conservatism" for the rest of us, in my opinion.  most of the cuckservatives who think this way are over 55 and are mentally stuck in a 1980s/1990s version of how "conservative" is defined.  they've already built up their nest eggs and "gotten theirs" and don't want any boats rocked, despite their claims otherwise.  they mindlessly advocate for military action against russia (though the USSR no longer exists), they support every trade deal every time because "muh free trade" while accepting a declining standard of living in the USA, and they cower in the face of democrat/msm demonization because it's not "dignified" to do otherwise.

fuck 'em.  they lost and half will be dead in 20 years.

If you really believed all that, you'd be furious at this vain, ego driven, selfish asshole for ensuring little of the agenda he ran on gets implemented - mostly because of his pointless tweets and commentary, and because no one with any brains is going to resign from a job they like and work for him.  He has no understanding of any human interaction other than issuing orders and insults.  That works great for the head of one's own company, but it doesn't fly in any other circumstances.  Certainly not in a government that requires broad consensus through separation of powers.  You and he apparently think just being in the White House, saying you want various peices of legislation, while issuing insults and dumb comments instead of providing leadership is enough to get it done.  It isn't.

This isn't about personalities, it's about getting the things done that need to get done.  Effectiveness requires leadership.  I wish Trump was that person, but he isn't.  In this role he is constantly getting in his own way, foolishly insulting people whose help he needs to pass legislation and implementing his policies.  Which was predictable and predicted.  You're the one who was wrong about Trump, thrashing around blaming the people who told you so doesn't change that.

As far as the rest of your clueless post, none of that has anything to do with the Soviet Union, as much as you'd like to blame anyone other than Donald Trump for the embarassment, chaos, and failure of his administration.  As I said, the Schwartzennegger failed governorship is the template for a Trump presidency, and that's how it's turning out.

McCain said it was one of the great honors of his life to serve alongside Flake, whom McCain called “a man of integrity, and honor, and decency, and commitment to not only Arizona but the United States of America.”

Indeed it is.
Especially when their own media, and people, finally need to report on it and all the historical harassment!Unlike the fake news about various fraternities I'm doubting much of this stuff is fake considering the admissions, firings, and frantic activity in Hollywood, media, and other Democratic circles. Fun, but ugly, stuff.

There seems to be a developing stampede of liberals distancing themselves from their former icons whose swinish behavior they have been ignoring for years.  It’s going to get a lot worse.

What about Dean Heller in Nevada and Roger Wicker in Mississippi? If they both retire that would make a total of half of the Republicans up for reelection in 2018.

Anything’s possible but the below article says that the Republicans are likely to pick up seats in the Senate in 2018 for the reasons indicated.  I guess you need something to hope for no matter how unlikely at a time when everything is going pear shaped for the Dems.

Republicans filling up the swamp even more

Pence Vote Strikes Down Consumer Rule

October 24, 2017 at 11:28 pm EDTBy Taegan Goddard35 Comments
“Senate Republicans voted to strike down a sweeping new rule that would have allowed millions of Americans to band together in class-action lawsuits against financial institutions,” the New York Times reports.

“The overturning of the rule, with Vice President Mike Pence breaking a 50-to-50 tie, will further loosen regulation of Wall Street as the Trump administration and Republicans move to roll back Obama-era policies enacted in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis. By defeating the rule, Republicans are dismantling a major effort of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the watchdog created by Congress in the aftermath of the mortgage mess.”

You're going to be fired by the FSB if the best you can do is come up with nonsense like that:

From the article:
"Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.

After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity."

Nobody in the Clinton campaign colluded with Russia.


Of course not.  They hired people who hired people to do that.  You're smart enough to know one doesn't do these things directly.  Tough break about the trail they left for investigators to find - I don't think that was part of the plan under a President Hilary


So, the real collusion is coming out, the Obama/Clinton approval of 20% of our uranium supply to the Russians is being investigated for bribery, the Obama Administration is being investigated for the unmasking felonies.  I wonder what else is moving along behind the scenes - they're no shortage of crimes to look into after eight years of corruption.

It's the subject of a Republican Congressional Investigation, hopeless retard.
