That's the part that makes him look like a sociopath, but the fact that he's openly soliciting assistance from a source with ties to the Russian government is the real story here.

Colluding with, or soliciting help from a foreign power in winning an election is indeed a felony (though it isn't treason, as the more hyperbolic analyses/commentators suggest). Donald Jr., and probably Kushner, Manafort and Flynn, could easily be prosecuted if anyone in power gave a shit about doing so. I don't…

This scandal is less Watergate than a really terrible Allen Drury novel. What a time to be alive.

Don't worry, Sessions will crack down on marijuana users so it's all good.

I got tired of the blank-faced idiot in last night's thread arguing that Donald Jr. is innocent if you twist words enough but Hillary is guilty because there's no evidence, which is proof that she covered everything up. They made both points in the same damned post. These people aren't arguing in good faith, they just…

I wonder if this Homer Trumpson is any relation?

Your just the facts spiel would be a lot more convincing if you weren't so credulous towards far more spurious Clinton conspiracy theories. Funny how "Clintons are so good at cover-ups there is no actual evidence" coexists with "I will parse words within an inch of their life to exonerate the Trumps despite their…

What's it like having squirrels live in your skull?

Lacking a soul does that for you.

It might be important if the meeting didn't actually happen, but it did. There is indeed a difference between, say, attempted murder and an actual, successful murder, but both are still crimes.

If you're as willfully obtuse as this gentleman is, things like facts aren't even an inconvenience - they can just be ignored. Since he admitted below he's not arguing in good faith, there's even less reason to give him time of day.

Just a heads-up, if you see a new poster named The Charles Sandman Experience posting Watergate quotes in response to Trump defenders like Mr. Request below over the next few days/weeks, it's me reverting to this account's original purpose.

You're just trying to convince everyone that it doesn't matter because reasons.

I'm sure you think this pedantry draws a worthwhile distinction, Charlie Wiggins, but it doesn't.

So basically, you're arguing in bad faith and no one should take you seriously. Thanks for admitting it.

There is nothing more patriotic than crime.

Just skip the episode where Stan runs for Mayor. That's a bit uncomfortable viewing just now.

Pence is an idiot in his own right, if not as pathologically dense as Trump, so it's not like he's going to be an effective leader. And Congress has shown zero ability to get their shit together over the past few months. So yes, I'd take Pence in a heartbeat at this point.

"Again, I'm only pointing out that nothing in these emails proves that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign."

Nah, he just shoots elephants and leopards.
