Seriously, how could people be surprised that a man who had a reputation of being a bad landlord, ripped off investors, cheated contractors and ran casinos, would have ethics issues?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could rely on the political parties to thoroughly vet the candidates BEFORE the election? Maybe they need even more time for elections?
While, IMO, collusion + secrecy = conspiracy (a crime), I’m still waiting for exposure of the vote-miscounting conspiracy. But after mountains of evidence, it’s just not “news” to the big media corporations.
This meeting was just the first step in a complicated process of coming to an agreement. You don’t do these things all at once. You take one little step and see how it’s received, then another, then another. If this Russian lawyer was talking about some of the sanctions, that because she was signaling what they wanted in return. And they may well have mentioned some other things, such as going easy on Russia for Ukraine. Since the Trump people didn’t run to the FBI, Putin knew that they could take the next step. Thus the disclosure of the emails, with the understanding that the Trump people would return the favor. And we are still seeing that Trump is doing his best to return the favor.
The Deplorables wanted a business man at the helm. This is business as usual. Don the con: Master of hypocrisy, shady deals, and standing on the throats of the little guy.
No, Little MDAVIS4183, it is serious as hell, and even Republicans are beginning to realize it. Thought experiment: what would William F. Buckley say if he were here? We already know that he detested Trump’s idiocy, dishonesty, cowardice, and insanity. Somehow I doubt that treason would endear Donnie to Buckley when nothing else did……..

JUNIOR’S GENES – {a limerick}
Of cred there’s hardly a trace.
Junior has egg on his face,
his father’s guise,
his father’s lies,
his father’s genes of disgrace.

ODE TO THE DONALD – {a rhyme}
O, our Donald. How much we adore ya.
You bring to our lives such heights of euphoria.
We’ll tell our grandkids your story, a
saga of national glory, a
trump trumping all of the presidents before ya.
… [ SANE people tend to abhor ya
and to wish that they could ignore ya. ]

And simple-minded Trumplings still bleat endlessly about the “Clinton Crime family” like the good little sheeple they have been brainwashed to be…

If I held up a gas station – but when the cops arrived I didn’t have a gun. Would I still be guilty of robbing that store?
If the Trump administration colludes with the Russians and they don’t have any good intel. Are they still guilty of colluding?

Both of this century’s Republican Presidents were elected using devious tactics. This tells quite a lot about Republican methods and values.

I’m The Slime – by Frank Zappa
(aka Trump theme song)
I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t got for help…no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin along on your livinroom floor
I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, look it me go

You get the feeling that Donnie Junior, if testifying under oath, would fall into a perjury trap in the first few minutes?
