My suspicion is that his worst excesses dealing with the oligarchs and other criminal connections is that the financial numbers have been wrapped in layer after after layer of intentional misdirection, anonymous shell companies and secret offshore accounts in tax havens ...and I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some…

I doubt that even if obvious evidence of obstruction of justice is found and announced, as long as the Republicans continue to get goodies from him, they’ll never even try to impeach him.

The tax returns will show that he has money, and all of it comes from Russian banks / mobsters. He is so beholden to Russia that he cannot ever get out from under the giant conflict of interest cloud that represents. Trump’s “money” is likely so dirty it generates its own compost.

If it stays a crisis, I’ll be fine. I expect, however, if he fires Mueller it will go badly, and he will use whatever ill/extra-legal means to hold on to power he can.

Just bc it is from facebook doesn’t mean it is facts moron. You need actual links to the facts. 33,000 deaths/ 321,000,000 = 0.01% of the population every year.

1) Almost everything Trump does is crass because he’s a crass person. The idea that he, as President, would take to Twitter in response to a terrorist attack is crass in and of itself. IIRC, the tweet itself was crass, enough so to prompt London’s mayor to tell him stay the fuck home. So yeah, Trump’s response, like…

The latest breaking news unfortunately suggests the shooter was an incredibly unhinged supporter of Bernie Sanders.

Well the fact that the Republicans told Nixon they weren’t going to save him played a big part in Nixon’s decision to resign. I always thought that the Ford pardon was probably part of the deal, but in all honesty I think it was the best thing for the country at the time — and I say this as someone who absolutely…

Yeah, I know why he’d bluff and I immediately recognized it as such because there is no goddamned way those tapes exist. No one who either hasn’t bought the Trump scam or who isn’t actively trying to sell it believes that Comey lied or misremembered when Trump told him he (Trump) “hoped” he (Comey) would let go of the…

The explanation is partly he’s a narcissistic idiot and partly because his supporters are idiots.

Exactly. But this begs the bigger question of: Why the fuck would Trump want tape on anything he says/does? Objective proof is his worst enemy. Whether that’s trying to strong-arm the FBI director into dropping a criminal investigation, sharing secrets with Russian intelligence in the Oval Office and confessing crimes…

On the plus side, Sessions would then be neither the AG nor a senator, which is kind of a win for humanity, even it was achieved through really crap-ass means.

Photographic evidence has shown that Bob has bigger hands. That’s why they call him big hand Bob.

Barron seems unusually tall. Comey is 6'8". Coincidence?

Not after Sessions’ stonewallin’, obfuscatin’ and not recallin’ during today’s hearing. He just solidly suctioned his lips to Trump’s ass in a display of total loyalty. The Orange is pleased.

Sessions stonewalled pretty good. Maybe he’s bought himself a couple more months.

I heard that Robert Mueller’s tie is longer and redder than Donny’s, AND he uses more tape to secure the short end than anyone around.

This is a big deal, and the Washington Post coverage of the lawsuit explains very well why this isn’t just another suit against Trump. Maryland, in particular, actually gave up a similar clause in their state constitution as part of the deal to become one of the original thirteen states.
