Another coincidence I'm sure.
Claire McCaskill was targetted by Russian hackers shortly after Trump encouraged folks to vote her out |

So here's the news. Cohen says Trump knew in advance about Trump Tower meeting, was informed by Don Jr., signed off and looked forward to getting the dirt.Giuliani's galaxy brain explanation for this is going to be epic. |

The most significant thing about the latest Cohen news, as far as I'm concerned isn't that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting, because of course he did, it's that he's saying that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting. Another bit of evidence that he is about to flip or has already flipped.

When you need a sleazy lawyer don't be surprised when he turns out to be sleazy.

Brilliant! Although not quite as good as the one who actually built a tiny little wall around it.
That's what we need... more mockery of Trump, less of the petty destructive stuff. We don't need an excuse for the Trump base to point to his critics and say "look how bad they are... breaking the law". |

Vandalizing takes no creativity or intelligence. Even those who despise DeVoss would largely disapprove of it and it would not get the response desired. Building a tiny wall around Trump's star and placing "Russian" guards there gets the desired response.

A couple stories from the Daily Kos of some relevance to the thread -
FEC complaint: company laundered Ukrainian money to give to Trump-allied super-PAC Putin sics his Night Wolves on NATO allies. Trump does nothing. Republicans cower. Putin invites Trump to Moscow after turning down trip to DC—and Trump says he's going |

When you need a sleazy lawyer you are a sleaze, IMO. I could be wrong; if you have an argument against that bit of logic I'd like to hear it.
It sounds to me like you're saying Trump is sleazy. And maybe that's OK with you; you may have other reasons to support him. But are you saying he's a sleazy human being? Does it occur to you that he could be conning his voters on a massive scale? Even if you want no abortion rights, why Trump? Pence would fit your agenda quite well, which is why not many Democrats really want to impeach Trump. |

Someone untied it and it scraped against the dock. The DeVoss family will need to use one of their other 9 yachts while it gets repainted.

It's almost like there are debts that need repaying:
Mnuchin says Treasury might lift sanctions on Oleg Deripaska’s aluminum company, even though the Russian oligarch was sanctioned just thrree months ago by the US to punish the Kremlin for meddling in the 2016 election. (my latest with @donnaborak) |

Hillary was holding up a Russian fur hat at one of her speeches. Guess it was just to hot to wear it.

I love how quickly and easily some have been manipulated into claiming that the Russians were actively helping Clinton win. I mean, it wasn't even a fortnight ago that Putin himself clearly and unequivocally said that he wanted Trump to win.
