President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Once again you're quibbling about the marginalia while avoiding the primary issue.

He admitted in open court that he conspired with a "candidate" to illegally spend $$ to influence the election.

 

White House blocks bill that would protect elections

 

In a crazy coincidence, this was a question on College Jeopardy just now.

 

Good point. I’m all for smart, humane immigration law that stops line cutters and protects our citizens. We have a president who should be able to get something done, since his party controls Congress. He has not, because his ideas are silly and cruel. The cult doesn’t see the opportunity cost of the current mess created by an overmatched racist.

 

What’s a Nubian?

 

LOL Slate.

We Don’t Need an Investigation to Know Trump Betrayed His Country. All the Evidence Is Right Here.

 

There are plenty of explanations out there written by specialists in campaign finance law. I suggest you Google them.

The idea a judge would allow somebody to plead guilty for something that is not illegal is hilarious. Can I plead guilty to drinking iced tea tonight?

 

My point was that they compete with wired providers—and will do so to greater extent in future—so the monopolies/duopolies will have less power in future.

 

This is well worth a read, both for the facts regarding the scale of the damage done and the ease with which the Russians executed it. Imagine if this had been targeted at our power grid or air traffic control system. Nasty.

Here's another good read. Fresno Bee takes the temperature in Nunes' district. Not rosy. Take a look at the editor's note at the end as well.

Yeah, it's Slate. I think that the facts stand, though - the charges that he got a mistrial on could be retried in state courts that Trump cannot pardon. He's also subject to being charged with state tax fraud in four states, because if you file a fraudulent federal tax form you pretty much have to file an identical state form, and again, state tax fraud is not something that Trump can pardon.

I don't think Manafort beats tax evasion in NY or Northern Virginia.
