Well either something has been lost in translation or they're wrong. Here is the list of endorsements: https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Barack_Obama

Just taking one: Tina Smith. She is the projected winner in Minnesota. Jacky Rosen is the projected winner in Nevada and Tammy Baldin is the projected winner in Wisconsin: https://edition.cnn.com/election/2018/results/senate

And if you go for the House there are far too many Endorsements for them to have all lost and the Democrats have won the House.

By Channel 5 or the Smurf ? :D

See the Donald is accepting defeat gracefully by bullying reporters ! Give him his due, he won't change. Just aswell he'll now be stopped from doing whatever he wants. I should think he'll keep just keep quiet and accept it, try and work with opposition and abandon being a twonk. May be he'll quit Twitter too, and welcome the homeless into the White House,champion healthcare for all, ban guns etc. I have every faith in him ;)

Is he moving to fire Mueller? Almost certainly the democrats would try to impeach him for obstruction.

He still thinks this Presidency thing is an episode of The Apprentice.

And that would be idiotic when they don’t have the Senate. Jeff Sessions being fired is justified. The President of the United States is entitled to choose who he wants as his AG as per the Constitution.

No one is saying he doesn't have the legal ability to fire him. The question is if he is moving to shut down the investigation. That itself would be stupid because Mueller could pass any incriminating information to the House committees, it could find it's way into the press or back to the FBI. Nixon tried to shut down the investigations into Watergate but it doesn't work.

An investigation that is politically set up can be shut down. The hoax investigation should be shut down, it’s waste of money. There was no collusion except by the DNC and Hillary paying “Russians” for fake intel aka the Dossier.

According to you and you aren't privy to the materials they are. We don't conduct criminal investigations by the opinions of the internet. If there is no collusion then there is no harm in letting the investigation continue. However the person who is connected, if not a subject, of an investigation having the power to shut it down is very dodgy. Hence why Sessions recused himself in the first place.

Put it this way. If there was an investigation into the Clinton Foundation under a President Clinton and she shut it down because there was no crime would you think that is fair?

Surely an innocent person would want to be exonerated, with the ability to crow about it. This would appeal tremendously to Trump.....

Let’s just go back to President Bill Clinton, he was guilty of all sorts, as he got impeached in the House and acquitted in the Senate, at the time because every Democrat Senator stood by him even though he was very guilty of serious crimes and misdemeanours.

The Russian investigation is a sham.

And Yes I am privy to the info, as are you. The info was released early in year. This is not “internet information” that you’re classing it as, this is material released by congress.
