    Oh what a tangled web he wove!

    Sorry, Trump-ividual Number One, Spider Man you ain’t.

    (Tariff Man, sure, but Spider Man, not so much.)

    It’s not just Scofflaw-In-Chief Tяump. There’s a cloud of nasty, biting insects surrounding him, even though some have already been picked off. That whole malfeasant crew will be juicy lunch for The Law.

    I’ve always likened Mueller to a cat in a box full of mice. So much squeaking, so much scurrying, so many targets, so much to do at once! The mind is boggled… Now, when he successfully deals with that big orange rat…

    The resident’s lies are not clever, perhaps stupid is a better description, and it makes you wonder if those who support him do it out of pity to some degree?

    Actually, we have trump dead to rights, but we can also do arithmetic, and don’t have the votes in the Senate yet.

    Hopefully this worm will soon be cocooned in the gray bar hotel for a long time. It’s just going to take a bit more time for more Repugnantcons to come around in the Senate. Amazingly some came around against him on the stop supporting Saudi Arabia murdering Yemens vote. The rate of rats leaving this sinking disaster is increasing so there may be hope yet.

    With the Republicans in lock-step.. a Supreme Court in his pocket and a Vice President (with pardon power) that owes him big time.. I am betting on trump “getting out of this”

    Trump has no conscience and shame. How is it possible for him to be stuck to anything? The rest of us get stuck because useless things like honesty.

    When we nabbed Nixon was when the tapes came out. Cohen made a lot of tapes with trump. We may yet hear some more interesting stuff to help get rid of trump. Nixon had some die-hard fans too, but the tapes made it too hard for him to overcome the situation.

    Trump keeps whining that the Mueller probe has cost $30 million, but the Mueller probe confiscated $46 million from Manafort, so we are actually ahead by $16 million.

    Many have pointed out that trump might want to rethink using the word rat, since it refers to a criminal telling the truth about a criminal enterprise to a prosecutor. But, I wouldn’t want to do him any favors, in this case.

    But why isn’t the fix in? Daddy taught me in New York that the fix was always in. (Well, except for those two times the Nixon administration took us both to court for racism in housing.)

    It was noted recently on MSNBC that he operates his business like a criminal “mob” enterprise. The thing is the the “mob” is organized not a mob at all.

    Anyone who believes that tRump will actually face any real justice is almost as deluded as tRump’s followers. As pResident, he is largely above the law, except for consequences that can be doled out by Congress. But even if videos are released that show tRump and Putin talking together about rigging the election and tRump giving Russia a free pass in exchange for benefits conveyed to tRumpCo, tRump’ll still be able to convince his hordes that it is much ado about nothing. Without tRump’s hordes, the Repugnants are doomed, so they’ll let him get away with everything he wants. The Repugnants may (may!) pay consequences in 2020, but by 2022 or 2024 the pendulum will have swung back the other way. Amuricans are fickle morons.
