1) You are not that interesting, so don't be surprised if I don't respond to you frequently unless you become more interesting. I will respond this time though because I'm in the mood to.
2) I don't post anything in the hopes of making anyone believe I am full of confidence. I don't use smoke and mirrors like other people do, because I am not weak and don't need to do that. I will tell you how things are, and you can choose to believe it or not. I don't care if you think I'm confident or not.
3) "Doubling down" is a stupid term with no real application here, so I reject that I am "doubling down". I am just telling you how things are.
4) I wasn't posting much immediately after the election because a Trump not in trouble isn't interesting. I only post when things are interesting. Things are REALLY interesting now...just as they would be if a Democrat were in office under the same circumstances as Trump. Not sure what you are getting at here, but probably you think I was in hiding. Couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth. My knowledge and opinion about things isn't shaped in any way what those of you here think...the vast majority of the time. Once in a while one of you makes a great point, but those usually strengthen a view I already have. I certainly couldn't care less about any criticism.
5) Manafort, Gates, Papadapolous, Flynn...so far. At a MINIMUM this shows the kinds of people that Trump chose to surround himself with. He said he would get the "best people". Nope.
6) You and other Trumpers like to say we are "a year in" and there is nothing yet. Well, Mueller has been investigating ONLY since May 17, 2017 (that's when he was appointed...he didn't start that very day), so really we're less than 7 months in. And Trump hasn't even been in office for a year yet. Actually quite a lot of movement in such a short period of time. Besides, what is your fascination with time here? Nixon was two years into investigation before he resigned. I would rather we get to the truth, so I don't mind if Mueller is thorough. Maybe Trump will be proven innocent. The longer it takes to show innocence, the bigger 'f*ck you' he can wield to all the doubters. Methinks you want it over because you know the longer it goes on the greater chance there is of getting dirt on this very dirty president.
7) These charges that have come out are not disappointing to me at all. On their own, these are bad actors who are being punished, and that should be cheered by all law-abiding people. Then, it does show Trump's bad judgement to be associated with these people, and finally, it is just showing a very likely pattern of behavior that makes it increasingly more and more difficult to believe that it doesn't reach up to Trump.
8) Mueller is coming to get Trump. Tick, tick, tick.
