I wouldn’t expect you to think any other way. One would think if I was doing so badly you would celebrate it. I’m also not under the elusion that I’m some super smart fellow. There are several conservatives who can argue it much better then I. But again, I wouldn’t expect you to think any other way towards me. And that doesn’t bother me in the least as long as you don’t make things personal, because I can’t make it personal.

Why would he want something for the US in exchange? He got something for Trump.

I don't get this bit given the reporter says right there what the quid pro quo was. The US did not get something in return, Trump did.

These are the perpetrators of Trumpism. It's not a pretty picture.

In the UK the Daily Mail is generally regarded as a right wing tabloid - it is generally racist and sexist, overtly xenophobic to the EU, obsessed with the Royal Family and fiercely supportive of Brexit. It has a tendency towards anti science and education. It’s owner is a right wing, tax avoiding nut with string anti democratic ideas that regularly find their way into the papers articles. |

Read the post. The link was CNN it was just the poster who worried it could be the Daily Mail if he clicked. I think he did not click.

Which is why I think people need to start paying more attention to the "Don't Feed The Trolls" sign (myself included,I have taken the bait too often).

This NYT article downplays it but the first big reveal is essentially a criminal referral of a sitting president by his own OGE appointee.

But... but... Hillary's emails!
Seriously, not only is it possible evidence of a crime, but the disclosure contradicts Trump's statement on the plane to the reporters that he didn't know where the money came from. It also contradicts Cohen when he claims he hadn't been reimbursed. (And ironically Guilliani was right, although that may have been by accident.) So many lies. Hard to keep track of them. |
