Their replacements will be just as bad or maybe even worse.

Expect Don Jr to take over S H Sanders spot. He has political aspirations, Sanders' job only requires being a lying, talking head, and daddy will help junior pad his political resume.

From the damage pictured, the explosion was clearly below the waterline. That's not a missile hit.

He will just claim it is already authorized under the AUMF. You know, like previous presidents have done in East Africa, Yemen, Libya, Syria, etc., etc.

Difference is, Bush declared war on New Orleans; trump on Puerto Rico ??.

Right now, it's starting to look like the dem battle will be white people (the lefties) vs. the moderates and black people.

In other words, Warren for the lefties and biden for everyone else.

Which in spirit sounds good - two qualified candidates battling it out for the future of the Dem party and nation.

but

Trump could probably beat warren. So this become very serious.

Early days though.

The enthusiasm for warren has built to a wave though - she has the most enthusiastic supporters, by quite a bit.

Sanders is a horrible person and liar just like her boss. She needs to be gone, but it would have been satisfying in a way to see her not get to go out on her own terms.

He likes nothing more than helping the oil biz, and he knows that in a war situation his approval ratings will go up.

Bit of a conundrum for him.

My gut tells me he will huff and puff and do nothing.

I don't think a war will help his approval at all. Another oil war will be immediately unpopular.

I think you are right that he will do nothing. He's a "do nothing" president. All show and no go.

Sanders did a fantastic job. There will be nobody who can do that job as well as she. I can't imagine who could replace her.

he's not a do nothing president. he's done a huge amount. tore up paris, iran. tpp, nafta, and others. ttrashed all kinds of enviro regs. Broke nearly every rule and norm. said he would collude with hostile powers. started trade wars with virtually every major trading partner. blew open the deficit with tax cuts and high spending.

trump is not a do nothing president. his appeal to the deplorables is that he fights all the time. that's not doing nothing.

but he does do a lot of bluffing.

Meanwhile, the U.S. produced a pic showing what they claim are mines placed on a ship far above the waterline, and easily visible--must be really stupid bombers. But. . . the first image below is the ship on fire. The second is of the "discovered" mines on the ship. Please ignore that the ships are not the same color . . . trivial detail.

I know that you mean she did a fantastic job for Trump, but if we look at what she really did, she is arguably the worst press secretary ever.

8 White House press briefings in the last 300 days. Traditionally, the were daily. This ridiculous stat shows that Trump just doesn't want to be questioned ever. Damage to our democracy...and no she didn't decide to do that...Trump gave her the marching orders, but the fact is she hardly ever did the job that is expected of a Press Secretary.

She also lied like a rug constantly. Good for Trump (and I submit that that's not enough), but bad for America and democracy.

People are ripping into Sarah Sanders on her Twitter account. She deserves all of that negativity. F*cking liar, no ethics, horrible person. I don't honestly know how she can look herself in the mirror (and no, that's not a comment on her appearance).

I can’t believe that Huckabee Sanders is only 36, she has aged horrifically.

KAC isn't going anywhere.

Sanders will end up lying with a straight face for FoxNews.

And like I've said, there's not going to be a war in Iran. There's not going to be traditional boots on ground like we've had in Iraq and Afghanistan. You may have CIA or SOF. You may have sanctions, a blockade by proxy, or drone strikes by proxy, direct US engagement will be iffy.

multiple tankers were hit - the photos were meant to show how the mines were attached, not before/after of the same ship.

That's exactly what I mean by "do nothing".

To keep the agreements for Paris, you have to do something. You have to make the hard decisions about how to comply.

Same for Iran and TPP. If you just pull out, you don't have to actually do anything. You just let the world crumble.

As for NAFTA, he didn't really do anything about that either. He just tried to end the agreement and then put back what was essentially the same agreement. He didn't do the hard work to craft an agreement that is better.

It's also easier to start a trade war than to end one. I see no evidence that the president is doing the hard work to hammer out a better agreement.

That's what I mean. He's a "do nothing" president. He's a fat lazy slob.

Trump will have a great chance to beat Biden. Biden will create zero enthusiasm.
