The Shambling Mound's Tenth Week

[tcpip]

Another gloriously and confusing week of incoherent shambling, as Lord Dampnut faced his second major loss in his proposed programme, the return of old King Coal, utterly bizarre developments in the wiretapping claims, and a dash of nepotism. Is it any wonder that Lord Dampnut now has the worst opinion poll ratings this early in the presidency

Someone said there are only 407 (now supposedly 406) weeks to go.

Anyone dare bet that they'd actually be fewer than 100?

It's a lovely idea...

I used to be certain he would be impeached. I'm still certain there will be an ever-growing crowd of ongoing criminal proceedings against him. But I just can't imagine him ever stepping down from power in a peaceful way.

He's perpetually embattled, and a rabble-rouser, and being legally driven from his own position is something utterly foreign to his identity (the closest I can think of is his divorces). That's a recipe for... what? Probably something comparable to a minor civil war.

Hey, nothing American is ever minor! America is being made great again, remember?

[garote]

Oh no doubt. But ... a great what?

[ddstory]

I'm guessing a great dick.

Will he resign or will he be impeached?

I don't know whether his character makes him much of a quitter, even in an environment as foreign to him as politics.

Will he resign or will he be impeached?

He'd rather get bored than any of these.

No bet. Barring death, he'll see out his term.

The next 208? Way too soon to even guess. He might not even run, he might win in a landslide.

BUT!

[oportet]

But the popular vote! But Russia!

No "cuts" no "buts" no coconuts.
