What you have all overlooked is how Donald is actually, like, really smart, and none of this will touch him due to his stable genius.

apologies to Hank Ketcham – chronicler of Trump’s childhood…

Trump’s bowtie persona would be Richie Rich, while everyone wishes he were more like lookalike Stumbo…. - maybe a little less golf...

if you would prefer 2018 to be any less weird than 2017, you're likely to be out of luck
Add into that the fact that this is an election year.
Now the thought was that because many of the Senate and Congress seats up for election were safe as houses Republican seats then there was no way there could be a change of the balance in Congress or Senate ... and then there was Alabama.
Can anyone imagine what Trump would be like with a Democratic majority in Congress or Senate or both? I sure as hell can't guess what he'd do.

There’s still some checks and balances though - lots of golf courses in South Korea Trump won’t want obliterated.
He comes across more venal than psychopathic but the risk of disaster via misadventure looks high.
I think a big danger is Iran going the way of Syria with the US incapacitated by Trump.

The GOP Gerrymander and the Tea party base was meant to entrench the Republicans basically forever. But Trump has mobilised the opposition like nothing else. Even a top 10 Gerrymandered state like Arkansas can't resist a motivated turnout that has segments voting up to 98% against you.
The racist revanchists who rallied around Trump got lucky with the Democrat's selection of Clinton. As Stephen Colbert so memorably put it, they were the only two possible candidates who could lose to the other.
The Dems should rout the Republicans, but the Goldman Sach's Democrats like Clinton who dominate the party are as corrupt and out of touch as any GOP member. There is a high chance they'll shoot themselves in to foot by picking another member of the liberal establishment elite to run.
Personally, I favour a Clooney/Winfrey ticket. Cover all the bases, them two. Actually, I might not even be joking.

Neil,
One the common smear tactics used against Hillary Clinton was blasting the internet with out of context photos of her at a social event with someone unpleasant.

Maybe the USA could do with a few outside electoral observers. Oh wait…

I’ve seen similar claims that there is no moderate Palestinian opposition to Israeli occupation.

WHOOP WHOOP THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Sen. Diane Feinstein has released the whole Fusion GPS transcript off her own bat.
The first headline appears to be that the FBI was interested in Steele's work because it already had a walk-in whistleblower from the Trump campaign saying similar things.

....the peasants take up their traditional accessories and hunt the bastard down, right?

The monster in Mary Shelley's original book was pretty sympathetic and misunderstood, albeit in a teen emo 'nobody understands me' sort of a way.
Bannon, is possibly more of a more of a wight or ghoul.

The man has no class at all...
Trump "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"
Perhaps, Mr Trump, it's because they are the only people who find living in the USA under Trump a better prospect that staying where they are?
