If you think the majority of Americans have a friggin clue, you are sadly mistaken. Have you ever watched Leno's Jaywalking, some Water's World segments or a few episodes of Cops? These are the people the Democrat Motor Voter laws target and are often the margin of victory. No shame being in the minority on a national level. But hey, middle America does agree with Hannity and Nugent more than they do with clueless leftists and that is why the GOP has the House and the majority of State Assemblies and Governorships.

When Trump is able to get Health Care and Tax reform in place he just might get re-elected if he wants.

Sessions won’t testify at congressional budget hearings but at Senate intelligence hearing instead

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had agreed to testify this week before the Senate and House appropriations subcommittees about the Justice Department budget, wrote the chairmen of the committees Saturday and said he was sending his deputy to testify instead.

Sessions was scheduled to testify before Congress on Tuesday for the first time since he was confirmed as attorney general in February.

I'd imagine he knows he's going to be one of the fall guys and isn't really sure what to do at this point. The only way out in the short term is if they fire Mueller. Even though Repub talking heads are laying the groundwork for it, I think when they do Congress will be forced to respond with Articles.

D.C. and Maryland to sue President Trump, alleging breach of constitutional oath

www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/local/dc-politics/dc-and-maryland-to-sue-president-trump-alleging-breach-of-constitutional-oath/2017/06/11/0059e1f0-4f19-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html

Attorneys general for the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland say they will sue President Trump on Monday, alleging that he has violated anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution by accepting millions in payments and benefits from foreign governments since moving into the White House.

The lawsuit, a signed copy of which Racine and Frosh provided to The Washington Post on Sunday night, alleges “unprecedented constitutional violations” by Trump. The suit says Trump’s continued ownership of a global business empire has rendered the president “deeply enmeshed with a legion of foreign and domestic government actors” and has undermined the integrity of the U.S. political system.

I'm sure P-Ry will again chalk this up to the Tangerine Disgrace being "new to this"... but if nothing else it may be another way to get him under oath and/or to reveal financials.

Rather, he is smarter than that Rhodes Scholar Bill Clinton and sees someone trying to set a perjury trap. He knows the Obama Admin and Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy their political opponents. After all, for them, it is about their power, not what is best for the country. It is truly the Crazification Factor. Or better described as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

More flail by Democrats in lieu of anything else to offer the country. Constitution does not require complete and total divestment in business interests. Just doesn't. Next!

He already flipped back to agreeing to public testimony. Most likely scenario is he agreed, the Admin claimed Exec Privelege, and then they realized how that would play and sent the little racist Golum back out there anyway.

I'd expect a LOT of non-answers. The question is whether he'll use the 5th or Exec Priv excuse.

What stops Republicans from behaving rationally

President Trump’s delusional outburst Monday claiming to have accomplished more than any president other than FDR at this stage in his presidency and the fawning praise recited by Cabinet members (in their best imitation of the Politburo) serve to remind us that this is not a normal presidency, and will never be one. On the day that another court ruled against Trump’s travel ban, a passable health-care reform bill is nowhere in sight and little appetite exists for a mammoth tax cut (another one beyond the America Health Care Act) with correspondingly mammoth debt, we can see just how divorced Trump has become from the reality of his failing presidency. That leaves many political watchers to wonder aloud why Republicans stick by the president.

First, unlike Senate and House Republicans during Watergate, there are few genuine leaders of principle whose sense of propriety is offended by Trump.

In short, the charge that Republicans by and large put party above country is entirely valid. They’d rather let the country careen from disaster to disaster and scandal to scandal than stick their necks out.

Second, elected Republicans by and large cower in the shadow of Fox Non-News hosts, talk-radio opportunists and right-wing interest groups.

In sum, the sad answer is that these Republicans won’t act out of principle, won’t challenge the right-wing echo chamber and won’t give up the delusion that they can get parts of their agenda through. Given truth serum, nearly all would prefer Pence to replace Trump; they just cannot summon the courage to make that happen.

Russian Cyber Hacks on U.S. Electoral System Far Wider Than Previously Known

Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.

In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

Congressional Democrats to file emoluments lawsuit against Trump

Nearly 200 Democratic members of Congress agreed to file a lawsuit Wednesday against President Trump alleging that by retaining interests in a global business empire he has violated constitutional restrictions on taking gifts and benefits from foreign leaders.

The lead senator filing the complaint in federal district court, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), said Tuesday that the lawsuit has already drawn more congressional plaintiffs — 196 — than any legal action previously taken against a president. No Republicans had joined in the lawsuit so far, although they will be invited to do so, Blumenthal said.

Notice how the snowflakes and haters hardly mention Russian collusion now that Comey and Sessions testified? Regardless how everyone else knew there was no "there there", they have to face facts now too. But do they admit their lunacy? Nope. They plow ahead attacking new windmills, like Obstruction of Justice (See AG Loretta Lynch for an example). Mueller will probably slander the President and then have to leave it to the House (who will do nothing with the partisan tortured claims made by Comey's mentor). Snowflakes will light their hair on fire (a condition they seemingly adore) and try to make it a campaign issue for the mid-terms. They are so very predictable. Party power over Country.
