Tom Toles for October 23, 2017

It is, if you don’t have a chinese wall between you.

I admit to feelings of trepidation. It’s pretty solid that Russia interfered with election. However I’m not sure Trump has the brains necessary to collude. Now those surrounding him – yes.

Our Moron in Chief is just a Putin wannabe.

Dictionaries say f’rinstance that Collusion is “… cooperation in order to cheat or deceive ….”

COLLUSION TOWARD DELUSION – {limerick}

Their collusion involves their intrusion

into citizens’ minds with confusion

of facts and delusion

by faulty illusion.

Democracy gets bruised by contusion.

=========

DEMOCRACY FUMBLED – {rhyme}

We hope that Trump’ll

very soon crumple.

Too long has he bumbled;

our nation has stumbled.

Forever, forever will we be humbled

that Democracy had so ruinously fumbled.

@rbmumsie…One of the signatures of mental illness is the compulsive nature of the dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors. However, these people can also be feral in the ways their illness drives them. It may look like intelligence, but it’s not. It’s more like a sick way of coping with their disability. In trump’s case, the Russian interference is, of course, real. But we will also learn about trump’s criminal money laundering activities with the Russian oligarchs that put him in a compromised position. No money center bank would loan him money because he’s not trustworthy enough to lend to (except, probably DB, which has shown to be involved in money laundering in the recent past and was heavily fined for the practice). In trump’s deluded swirl of semi-consciousness, he has been played by the Russians for years. The political thing is recent.

Right now, the collusion would seem to have been run through Kushner’s data manipulation company to pick vulnerable voting locations, and through unnamed others for release of Wikileaks at critical moments. The truth will come out. Will the regressives suddenly discover their patriotism? Upon that question lies the future of a worried nation.

depends whose got the rudder

Actually…YES.

Heck no, not when you’re on the winning side!

Is there anyone on Trump’s team who is working for America?

@TWCLIX your analysis of the situation is a clear analysis of the situation. I really hope that Mueller keeps following the money. That is where he’s going to find all the evidence, all the skeletons, all the interference, all the collusion between Trump’s team and Russia. Trump must have a very guilty conscience. He spends so much time trying to throw up smoke screens and obstacles to block the way of any investigations into his or his family’s ties to Russia and Russian businesses. The old adage of “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” has been a good rule of thumb for a long time.

If We the People hadn’t settled for anonymous opinion being substituted for verified factual news from authentic sources, we wouldn’t have this problem today, would we?

Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.

The President said it would be okay, and 30% of American patriots have not issues with the president colluding with Russians, if it means the rich get more tax cuts.

As long as you both keep your pants on, you’re OK

I say that it is more than collusion since Trump had to turn to the Russians to fund him he has been in collaboration since they have been giving Trump money for at least 5 years.

Me….and my shaaaaaaaaaaa-dow!…..colluding down the a-ve-nue!….
