President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Congrats! That's the most attention you've ever paid to a righty here.

Oh.

 

If Phil Collins and AOC both die on the same day, do they both get A1?

 

This post is pure genius.

 

I don't care anymore.

 

The GOP - or Trump?

Trump privately gripes that GOP was outplayed by Democrats - CNNPolitics

 

It's never him when things don't go his way. If anything causes the congressional GOP to turn on him (doubtful), that'll be it.

“Manafort is either the most self-destructive, irrational liar in history, or he is still protecting a secret so dark that exposing it would kill his chance for a pardon,” former Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller tells me. “Now that he’s facing a jail sentence that could stretch for the rest of his life, we’ll find out if his risky gamble will pay off.”

This, in short, was collusion — Trump’s top campaign official giving material to a suspected agent of a hostile foreign government that the campaign had already been warned was attempting to interfere with our election. Whatever you call it — direct or indirect evidence — this now is one link proven in court between the campaign and the Russians. We know of others, of course, including the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 designed to get dirt on Hillary Clinton, Trump’s public call for Russia to go after Clinton’s emails, and more than 100 contacts between Russian figures and members of the Trump circle.


It’s difficult to think of an explanation for Manafort’s lying that doesn’t open new avenues for Mueller to explore. “There is no non-nefarious explanation for the chairman of a presidential campaign secretly meeting with a suspected Russian agent in the midst of an election that the Russians are actively trying to influence and then lying about it to the prosecutor after agreeing to cooperate.,” says Max Bergmann of the Moscow Project. “The only reason for Manafort to lie at this point is to cover up something truly devastating.”

 

You've been here about nine days, haven't ya?

 

No.

 

POTUS -- Once a pussy, always a pussy.

 

Oh, pretty close, if you think I've never had quarrel with "a righty."

 

If so, he still owes us beers.
