President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

1) It is, EXACTLY, the same thing, for the very precise reasons you explain below.

2) Fucko looks like an idiot because, well, he's an idiot.

 

Wonder what surprise Trump more - the Ford plants in Germany or the BMW, Mercedes and VW plants in the Southeast?

 

The Times has lost

So, let me get this straight...

The charge that's going to get Trump impeached, and send people to jail (resulting in Orrin Hatchand/or Hillary Clinton becoming president) is that the Trump campaign coluuded with Russian state actors to influence the election.

And the damning evidence that proves this is a meeting Trump transition held, after the election, with Russian officials?

 

Maybe you missed this one yesterday. This is the sort of story that will prove the "collusion" that you continue to say there is no evidence of. First drop of evidence. There will be more. Guccifer 2.0 to the Florida GOP to Roger Stone.

If anything gets Trump, it will be the obstruction of justice trying to cover up the Russian ties because he is a hamfisted idiot.

I'm not optimistic, but am slightly closer knowing Bannon is in charge of the defense.

 

Trump has damn near built a case for obstruction simply by his public statements and twitter.

 

It's not a matter of whether he did it. It's blatantly obvious.

It's a matter of whether the political will can be mustered to do anything about it.

If Democratic fantasies that losing Kansas and Montana by 5-7 means they can win Georgia and in 2018, there is a small chance that builds sufficient pressure. I'm not holding my breath.

 

Did he say that after Merkel met with Obama? Because that could just be his pettiness at play.

 

Vance for Senate? That's intriguing.

He appeared on live worldwide teevee and invited, encouraged and cheered for the Russians to interfere with the election.

For about 3/4 of our nation's history, that would have earned him a 15-minute trial, and then an express trip to the gallows.

Rick, if the special counsel starts getting indictments and those indictments lead him to forward information to the House Judiciary Committee, that in itself is serious political pressure. It's one thing to pooh-pooh allegations. Trials, statements under oath, things like that are less easy to ignore.
