I've probably been guilty of 'mocking' others for their pro-Trump stance. I've tried my best to focus on the facts and have tried to keep my posts on the issues at hand. But I have no sympathy for Trumpers. They've checked in their morality card and chosen to align with a traitor (Trump) over a patriot (Mueller).
That said, to place blame on only the left (and Independents like myself) is patently false. BIGLY false. There are countless examples in the 1000+ pages of this thread where both sides are attempting to demonstrate their intellectual superiority.
So, based on facts and not attacking my fellow Letsrun posters, Trump is so screwed. YUGELY.

He's right. This was Eunice Kennedy Shriver's plan when she started the Special Olympics.

Because that's not what Lying Gary (ahem, I mean 'truthseakr') does.

See, this ^ is what makes it pretty obvious that Lying Gary works for Internet Research Agency (IRA). Nobody, no matter how whacked out they are, could actually believe such nonsense. Not only is Gary pure troll, but he is most likely a paid troll on the payroll of Glavset (IRA).
Hey DiscoGary,
I'm going to let you in on a little secret... Mueller has found the cheese. And the crackers. And the wine.
Enjoy Trump's current bump in the polls. It won't last long.

This is the same issue I have with debate about universal healthcare. "Look at Denmark!" Denmark has 5 million people. If you scale it up 75x you may or may not get the same results. Not to mention that the demographics are different.
I'm not taking either side here. Just pointing out that a comparison between two very different countries will probably be flawed.
We already have a scaled up a health care system. It's really great, and it already covers 10 times more people than the whole nation of Denmark.
It's called Medicare!
Medicare is the best health care system in America. Bar none. Everybody should have it.
Haha yeah I'm in favor of Medicare for all. That system would not have to be scaled up nearly as much as the Danish system, so I am more confident that Medicare for all could work.

It's just around the next corner, right? The big impeachment cheese. You can't see it, but they have promised you it's there. Keep scurrying. Keep sniffing. Keep hoping for that cheese. It'll be there, just like Hillary's victory.
I can see the whole maze. There is no cheese. They have tricked you again. You should leave the liberal media rat maze.
It's just a matter of time. Trump will be nailed and the GOP will be crashed. You will slink off to obscurity and choose a different handle while sucking your thumb.

Hahahahaha. You're funny. Manafort, Gates, Flynn, etc. all thought there wasn't any cheese too. How'd that work out for them?
You got get over the Hillary thing. And the 'liberal media' deflection. Indictments are public records. You, as well as anyone else, can read all about Manafort's latest legal troubles. And if you don't think this is related to Trump, you're beyond delusional. And, for what it's worth, the majority of what I've learned about the Trump investigation has come from conservatives (choosing country over party). The information is out there, you're just afraid to look.
Mueller time is here!

You may want to give it to the media. They would be all over it.
It's a little worse than the number 42% on a scale from 0-100. Fox's viewers have a clear 10 point spread between approvals and disapproval. One year in, supposedly passed tax policies his base should prefer. Yet, he's not pleasing his constituents. He's doing an Obama. That's not good for the chief clown. More TV watching will solve the problem.

According to the latest court filings, Gates actually lied to investigators after already being indicted. Ouch.
In the end, the evidence bringing down a large number of people will be overwhelming. Mueller has the goods. He's dotting his i's, crossing his t's. Overwhelming evidence + witness testimony = very high conviction rate (with most not going to trial).
Manafort is facing many, many years in prison. The pressure to flip must be immense.

Manafort will either flip or die in prison.
But he may choose to die in prison. That might be better than to go free and die of polonium poisoning from uncle Vlad.

But perhaps not as intense as the pressure to avoid getting in Putin's crosshairs.

I think it's a safe bet that Crooked Hillary's vote count would have been several million [fewer] had there been voter ID laws in place. Geez, I wonder why you idiot Dems are so opposed to these laws? Losers.
1) Voter ID is already in place, to varying degrees, among the states. (You sound a little like those folks that said Doug Jones never would have won his Senate seat if Alabama had had voter ID. It's got about the toughest voter ID law in the nation!) More to the point, zero--ZERO--evidence of widespread voter fraud has been found in looking at the 2016 election. This is so much the case that DJT disbanded the bipartisan commission that was looking at the question.
2) I've noticed that the rational Hillary folks--who seem to be the great majority of them--completely accept that DJT is President. They may not *like* it, but they don't dispute that he won the Electoral College fair and square. Yes, there are a few crazies who don't accept it, but they seem to be genuinely few (and, for the most part, genuinely crazy).
So why is it that some rational Trump folks--I'm assuming you'd count yourself in the group--can't seem to accept that HRC won the popular vote? What's the difference? She still lost where it counts--in fact, I think her having an edge of millions in the popular count only *showcases* the mistakes that she and the Dems made in 2016. So why can't you just accept her so-called "win" there, and move on?
[When GWB lost the popular vote, I didn't hear any GOPers saying that the Dem candidate only "won" that because of voter fraud. Why does it seem to matter to you now?]
3) I and others care about *some* current and projected voter-ID laws because those laws do/would disproportionately discriminate about poor and working people--just as some states' restricted voting hours do. I want everybody who's eligible, to have a genuine chance to vote. Sorry, does that make me a bad guy?
Contrast these tough "in person" voter ID laws with the lax--in some cases *shamefully* lax--procedures governing absentee ballots. I don't hear GOP cries to toughen up that process! Ah, but the legislators who are pushing for tougher voter-ID disproportionately receive votes from absentees. Hypocritical much?
4) I have been a voter for more than 30 years and have never once pulled a Democrat lever for any office. ("You Democrats," my eye.) But I am interested in looking at things rationally, rather than taking knee-jerk positions. You?

Flagpole doesn't think Trump won fair and square. Is he one of the genuinely few, genuinely crazy types you speak of?
