Sure.

Which part of the "sure, I'd love to collude with Russia" mail sent by Trump Jr and Bannon's admission that father and son are guilty of treason suggests that there is no evidence, not to mention the successful convictions?

Not quite. Standing up to the NRA was a great move that I applauded and that was long overdue.

Because you are a treasonous idiot.

You mean lying, like the guy who has lied his ass off from the start of his campaign, broken empty promises made left right and center, has spoken more untruths in the first year of his presidency than any upstanding citizen would in a lifetime? You mean incompetent, like the current administration that is so incompetent any vaguely competent member of staff is jumping ship? You mean corrupt like the CEO of Trump enterprises, who is so corrupt that his public spokesperson admitted to lying for him, who is mired with conflicts of interests and whose presidential campaign staff has admitted to doing its best to collude with a foreign power, who ran a scam university and routinely scammed creditors and contractors to the extent that noone was willing to lend him money?

You are one pathetic excuse of an American.

Poor snowflake. Mommy should get you a tissue and a safety pin so that bad man Hrump dosent make you cry.

Apparently we don't. We elected him.

Technically speaking it was the Electoral College that elected him. We, the voters of the United States, did not even give him a plurality, much less a majority, on Election Day itself.

And to answer FP's question about DG's insistence on the "special council" spelling:

DG is not, by any means, the only person to misspell "special counsel." But somebody twitted him on it; and because DG is (apparently) very reluctant to admit any error, he has set out to try to justify his -cil spelling. You'll note that he tries to characterize Mueller and his crew as a special "council."

But they're not. "Council" would imply that other people in the group were more or less at Mueller's level. They aren't: A whole bunch of people work with/for him, but he's the boss--and he is the (singular) special counsel who was appointed. (Takes less than a minute on Google to ascertain that Rosenstein appointed Mueller, period--and then Mueller got a staff.)

So, anyway, in common with a lot of other people (including, need I say, a whole bunch of regulars on LRC), DG doubles down when his beliefs--in this case, a belief about how "counsel" is spelled--are challenged and/or shown to be incorrect. I generally avoid predictions, but will make an exception here: He is going to spell "special counsel" HIS way, not just in this thread but for the rest of his life; and he may very well make other attempts to convince people that there is a group of people known as the "special council."

Which is to say: He'll continue to be wrong.

CORRECT! Hillary Clinton could not have had such a chaotic and ill-prepared White House if she tried.

BUT again, this is NOT about Hillary Clinton. If Hillary were in office and doing crazy things and showing that she was not prepared for the job, I would be the first in line to criticize her, but she isn't in the White House. Donald J. Trump is, and he is failing by any conceivable measure.

Hardly. Perhaps the chaotic nature of the admin upsets you. Perhaps the fact that there's no evidence of Russian collusion upsets you. Perhaps everything about Trump and the administration upsets you. None of it upsets me. Because the only alternative to Trump was HRC (may have been poor Bernie but she saw to it that he was a non issue). And indirectly, it is all about HRC, as she was the only alternative. Thank god that corrupt, lying, incompetent HRC isn't in there. Makes me gleeful

Yes, he did, minus California. Take that away and he wins by 1.8 million votes.

Next will come the idiot leftist comparisons...I love it!!!!!

This Stormy Daniels thing is interesting.

We basically know that Trump had an affair with this porn star while married to Melania.

And most people really don't care these days. That's something that used to ruin a politician and even could hurt a businessman if it got out.

So Trump paid her $130,000 to shut up about it.

But he didn't pay from his pocket.

His lawyer "facilitated" the payment.

His lawyer claims he paid her to protect Trump. As a favor. But he also seems to be complaining that he was never reimbursed by Trump. Which would mean that the payment really was from Trump and Trump owed his lawyer.

Now Stormy is suing Trump.

She wants to be able to tell the world about their story (and get paid for telling said story).

Her claim is that Trump never signed the agreement they made that said she would shut up in exchange for his money.

And it seems his story is that he never agreed to this arrangement, nor paid for it.

So that means that Stormy can legally tell the world about their their affair (and get paid again).

What a country! What President!
