President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Well, if you read the article and not just the tweet blurb:

"Since the spring, Mueller has referred matters to SDNY involving longtime Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and his work for his former firm, the Podesta Group, and former Minnesota Republican Rep. Vin Weber and his work for Mercury Public Affairs, the sources said.

One source said that former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig, a former partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, is also part of the inquiry.
None of the entities involved have been charged with wrongdoing, and there is no indication the SDNY inquiry will result in criminal charges."

Those are the nut graphs explaining what you were pointing at. I'm not sure how well they would have fit into a tweet, and I pulled them from the article without the paragraphs above and below them that explain and give them context.

See, a tweet publicizing a story isn't supposed to give you the entire story. It's a headline, intended to get you to click through and read further.

 

Thread.

 

That's not it. Try again, dummy.

 

DOJ: Yeah, Trump is FOS.

The Justice Department Finds 'No Responsive Records' to Support a Trump Speech

 

FWIW, just about anybody with a 401(k) benefits from stocks that increase in value.

Even though it may be all the smoke-and-mirrors stuff Ragu has been pontificating about, there are millions of regular working Joe Americans whose retirement portfolios are looking mighty sweet right now.

 

Is there anything more despicable than threatening to kill the parents of children murdered by gun violence?
Trumpists and their dearly beloved Alex Jones richly deserve to have to pay their own legal fees.
Alex Jones, Pursued Over Infowars Falsehoods, Faces a Legal Crossroads

 

Yes, actually killing children is more despicable.

 

That is true.
Rephrase: Is there any reaction to tragedy — save actual murder — that is more repugnant? Is there anything more callous and cruel outside of physical violence than badgering the families of gun-violence victims?
And why do Trumpists and their NRA brethren hate victims? Because victims have power. And that scares Trumpists.
The lone Trumpist from Maryland’s congressional delegation held out in support of a presidential medal of freedom for an Annapolis victim who charged the shooter and saved lives while surrendering her own. He said he needed to study the petition. Nonsense. He and everybody else knew the particulars. But he had to dog whistle to the NRA. And so he waited, knowing that his status as the last holdout would be noticed by the evil terrorist organization and would likely result in an extra campaign gift or two.
Revolting.

 

And he's not a drinker, so ...

 

He put that one on a tee for you.

 

There are worse groups of people than the Alex Jones crowd -- rapists, murderers, etc. -- but in the parlance of Bum Phillips, "It don't take long to call the roll."

 

You think about how many Trump staffers have left since his inauguration - over 150 - and that doesn't even include cabinet secretaries or their staffers - Woodward's book is going to be interesting.

Some fun polling out today, Abrams is up 2 over Kemp for Georgia Governor.
