Well, Lindsey Graham certainly know Obama would demolish the committee.

I also hope Graham doesn't appreciate Trump trying to push him around. There may be a vestige of independence somewhere in his character.
On Russia, Putin and Saudi Arabia, there is a slight amount of daylight between Trump and GOP senators.

ETA: Some people like to speculate there's Kompromat on Graham. If so it must be stronger than Graham (probably) being gay. It would have to be underage pages IMO.

I used to share that hope, but sadly there is no evidence of such independence in his actions over the last few years.

There's a tiny bit, but only on matters that he knows Trump is going to be able to do anyway. He was critical of U.S. withdrawal in Syria and of Trump's coziness with Prince Mo and/or Vladimir Putin.

But I know even my slightest hope is probably unjustified.

He says he wouldn't summon Obama to testify. I hope even that little bit pisses off Trump.
 
Trump says doctors and nurses are "running into death just like soldiers running into bullets" and that "it's a beautiful thing to see."
 
Trump just said "When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn't do any testing we would have very few cases."

He also says that testing might be “overrated”
 
Trump compares his work ethic to the employees making PPE at the facility where he is speaking: "I work those hours too, we're all working hard."
 
Trump: "We have more cases that anybody in the world. But why? Because we do more testing. When you test, you have a case. When you test you find something is wrong with people. If we didn't do any testing, we would have very few cases. They don't want to write that."

And there it is folks, the 'logic' of a low IQ self-absorbed grifter on full display for all the world to see.

I really wish the forum had a 'groan-button'.

My son is a first responder, Paramedic/Firefighter Captain. He is exposed in some way 4 or 5 days a week.

But now, I'll just imagine him "running into death" . . . knowing it is a beautiful thing to see!!! WTH!!!
 
But he doesn’t have a mental disorder.

He has more than enough empathy and understanding to be considered perfectly normal.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works!

Mmm, can someone with US insight explain to me what Trump gets out of this "OBAMAGATE" thing in terms of the upcoming election? Last time I looked, Obama was not running, and while it may reflect badly on the Dems, that is hardly news for his base voters.

At this point, it's just a massive disinformation campaign. They all know that objective reality is not on their side, and if the universe was just, the whole lot of them would be out on their asses after the next election. So their only way forward is to spread enough BS that enough people are confused enough to not see that.

Case in point:

Trump tweeted

I don’t know the so-called Whistleblower Rick Bright, never met him or even heard of him, but to me he is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!

This characterisation of Rick Bright is completely at odds with anything anyone ever seems to have said about him, prior to his telling Trump et al. the truth. So his reputation must be destroyed. It's not enough that they just fired the guy, they have to make sure that no one ever listens to anything he has to say.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. Pls enjoy this video which captures some of the highlights, & shares some reflections, of that historic day. Thanks Pres. Trump for keeping a sacred promise to an ancient people.

I disagree. I think his base and even his lukewarm supporters would honestly assert that he is doing a good job. Just consider his approval rating in the GOP. No, it's a very, very dangerous assumption that are mindful of his threat and also approve of the job he is doing. Even after Trump is gone, that large chunk of USA voters who are divorced from reality still will have to be dealt with.
