so, does Trump make it out of 2017 as President? -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:43 22
- Of course. He has won. Its over. -- nm - Jovian May 10, 08:01
- Don't see any reason why not right now. The GOP in Congress covers everything he does, just to keep power. -- nm* - ty97 May 10, 07:51 8
  - watching him is like the scene in Tommy Boy when Farley is talking about making a sale - groiny May 10, 07:53
  - but they'll get all that with pence. -- nm - mud May 10, 07:52 6
    - yes, but the damage of having an impeached president from their party will have devastating effects on the next elections -- nm - decline May 10, 07:55 4
      - good! GOP deserves all the shit they gonna get in '18! -- nm - mud May 10, 07:56 3
        
        yeah, I can't say I feeel sorry for them. -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:57 2
        
        There are a lot of people who still think Trump's doing a great job. They'll vote party in a heartbeat. I don't buy that things are going to change. -- nm - kelly May 10, 08:00 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker May 10, 08:03

- 4 years? 8 years?! he won't last 4 months! -- nm -- mud Jan 11 '17, 15:53 -- nm -- nm - mud May 10, 07:51
- Yes, there is no smoking gun and the GOP wants to maintain control more than anything -- nm - decline May 10, 07:50
- Sure. There's no threat of impeachment unless and until Dems win the House in 2018 -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 10, 07:50 5
  - well, he can also have a stress related heart attack and that counts too. -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:55 4
    - not when he spends every weekend relaxing on the golf course -- nm - decline May 10, 07:58 1
      - well, I get pretty stressed on the golf course as well. -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:59
    - But he's in excellent health, he had a doctor flown in to sign a piece of paper that says so! -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 10, 07:56 1
      - well, that shit can change in a literal heartbeat. -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:57
- Yes. - Strongbad May 10, 07:50
- Yes, cause i dont see the house or the senate having the stones to remove him - eag May 10, 07:49

There's a flying pig outside our office -- (link) - LMS May 10, 07:21 7

Another day in the life of a DC resident: Protest at the White House at noon. -- nm - MDH May 10, 07:21 1
- You DC residents should get real jobs rather than being paid protesters! -- nm - ty97 May 10, 07:22
I met up with a woman last night who was buying a yard sale item. We started talking a bit about the drinking water here. She told me that there's so - kelly May 10, 07:14 20

    - in general dog pee does kill grass - especially if your dog is on a high protein diet (especially female dogs) - decline May 10, 07:34 2
      - plus, bigger dogs = more pee. -- nm - groiny May 10, 07:40
      - yup, up until Loki, I have had only female dogs for 40 years. - groiny May 10, 07:35
    - I am with you, every dog I have ever had kills the grass. - groiny May 10, 07:27 2
      - same -- nm - Beaker May 10, 07:35
      - Your IM is key -- nm - zork May 10, 07:31
    - No, no change at all where they pee. -- nm - mara May 10, 07:23
    - our dogs pee doesn't kill our yard at all -- nm - oblique May 10, 07:22 2
      - Huh. Okay. Do you give them something special (supplements, etc)? -- nm - kelly May 10, 07:23 1
        
        nope. nothing special. guess we're just lucky -- nm - oblique May 10, 07:37
  - mine just kills the grass. - groiny May 10, 07:18
