A White House reporter, who happens to be black and female, asked Trump if he might resign. Well, DiscoGary/HardLoper/Jamin types have made death threats against her. That is what Trump would want his Trumpster to do--eliminate her.

Gary thinks there was never any basis for Mueller to begin investigating so all of this is unlawful, even if they find something. I'd say it's already been more than worth it with the Russians that have been formally accused and the few Trump buddies who confessed to crimes. But Gary doesn't understand that proof doesn't need to exist BEFORE an investigation commences in order for one to open. Trump is not in court right now, no charges have been brought against him and no one is asking him to provide defensive evidence here... yet Gary thinks this is all so unfair. Even if it turns out Trump broke laws with undisputable criminal evidence, Gary will say its unfair and that this is a good guy who should not be impeached. He would be ok with a criminal in the WH, in this case.
No charges vs the prez however he operates, or tweets, like a guilty man. Maybe it's just his nature, maybe he's got some skeletons he doesn't want let out. Everytime his money is mentioned he goes off the deep end. He may be significantly tied up with the Russians or it may simply be that he doesn't want the world to know the truth which is that he's worth not nearly what he has said. His ego needs to be stroked constantly and for the public to find out that he has little or no real money would be devastating to him.

And that is the stable genius commander in chief. He lives in a different reality. You would think he would be at least aware that most people see through his pathetic lying and grandstanding, but it's clear he believes he's a god. His ego doesn't even belong in a WWE setting, its beyond repair. It probably won't happen while he's president, but the tax returns will come out and it's going to be ugly.

True dat.
It's baffling. Paul Ryan has spent his entire career trying to cut taxes and weaken government entitlement programs. He's a rabid Randian, reliably anti-choice, and a loyal servant of corporate interests. He has gone out of his way to protect the dumbest president ever. He is a bonafide conservative wingnut. And yet, in spite of all of this, the majority of Trump supporters are just as thrilled as liberals that's he's leaving. They think he is a RINO. A closet Democrat. A tool of the liberal Deep State. Apparently, a Democrat is now anyone who doesn't eat Trump's starburst with sufficient zest or hasn't made it unmistakably clear that their number one priority is making the lives of immigrants as miserable as possible. Poor Paul. Thanks for the extra House seat!

Paying off pornstars and intimidating enemies does not amount to legal representation or any kind of protected attorney-client relationship.

Are Democrats who created fake accusations of Russians "hacking our elections" and "colluding with Trump" now concerned that our relations with Russia have become critical? Really? Democrats are willing to stoke WWIII with Russia to cover for losing an election and now we're hearing conspiracy theories that Trump is doing this to avoid the persecution news. I know you're in the rat maze, but did they make you check your brain at the door?
Consider this. If Trump really had colluded with Russia, Putin could take out Trump RIGHT NOW by simply providing the evidence. Why isn't he doing that?
But I'm not sure what we should be doing in Syria. It's not clear to me who set off the gas or who our friends or enemies really are. We should be very slow to get into a shooting war with Russia. But again, Democrats are no help at all in any of this. Their only goal is to take out Trump, and that mania makes them useless in dealing with the important problems.
Why in the world would Putin do that, Lying Gary? Are you really stupid enough to think that Trump has been tough on Russia in any substantive way?
Really?

Ryan was never on the Trump train. Once a backstabber, always a backstabber. Ryan is no different than his buddies on the Left. I wish Ryan would step down today and then get a true M.A.G.A. Speaker of the House.
Btw, Mueller is never coming
Flagpole, is destined for a massive FLAGPOLIAN FLOP

INCORRECT!
Source link below:
Rick Wilson on Michael Cohen’s FBI raid: “It couldn’t happen to a nicer douchebag… this guy is so eminently punchable.”
Rick on the 2018 elections: “Democratic voters will crawl over broken glass to vote against Donald Trump’s friends.”
Rick on what GOP Senators will, and should, do if Trump fires Mueller: “Believe me, they won’t do a damn thing. They will not do a damn thing. Nothing will happen. “
Rick on how GOP members of Congress really hate Trump: “A lot of the ones that hate him are publicly the most red-hat wearing, chest beating, M.A.G.A., ‘build the wall’ people you see out there. They hate him. They fear him, they loathe him, they hate their voters because of him. They hate him because they know they basically sold out their conservative principles.”
What Rick recently told a GOP Senator complaining about Trump’s attacks on Mueller: “You guys have to all get together and send him a f*cking letter that says ‘Dear Mr. President, if you remove Robert Mueller from office, we in the United States Senate Republican caucus will take up articles of impeachment when they are sent to us from the House and will proceed with convicting you.”
Rick on the damage Trump is doing to our country: “We’re going to have generational damage from what Trump is doing. He’s broken what the presidency means as a leader for the country. He’s broken the moral stature of the presidency. He’s broken the belief that the president will adhere to the Constitution and the rule of law. He’s moved from being the leader of the Free World to somebody who at best is the bullsh*tter of the Free World with a love of authoritarians. I think there’s a lot of damage he’s done to the American brand.”
Rick when asked if Donald Trump is a traitor: “I believe that Donald Trump has put the national interest of Russia above the national interest of the United States repeatedly. And by any definition I think that’s traitorous.”
Rick on why Trump is the worst president ever: “Even our worst presidents, none of them were willing to burn down the republic for their own ego… If Trump were impeached and convicted, he wouldn’t leave the White House. He would dig in and make them pull him out of there like a tick on the back of a hog, it would not be pretty.”
Rick also called Trump “a gigantic c*cknozzle,” and discussed his upcoming book: “Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican consultant gets real about the worst president ever.”

I think Paul Ryan is a decent guy who bought into Ayn Rand's sophistry. And that warped him pretty bad. Ryan is what you get when you cross Ayn Rand with "Wisconsin nice". He's basically kind but he aspires to be heartless.
I saw his speech today. He pretty much admitted that he was only tolerating Trump to get stuff passed. I suspect that's no different from the vast majority of congressional Republicans.
When politicians leave office to "spend more time with the family", it's always a joke. With Ryan, it's the first time I ever believed it.
Now if Ryan thought he had a shot at entitlement reform I think he would have stuck around. But I don't blame him for wanting to spend some time with the kids before they are all gone to college.
But don't fret, Republicans. His seat looks pretty safe.
For those living in reality, a couple of footnotes that I picked up today from some good sources:
*Cohen's search warrant by the FBI SDNY office indicates that there is a separate investigation taking place into Trump/Russia.
*Cohen could very likely face state charges. Non-pardonable.
*Cohen chose to appear on CNN and MSNBC (not the FOX/Trump network). He was complimentary of the FBI for their professionalism during the search. Very different tone than Trump, who is going off the rails... again.
The later two points might indicate that Cohen realizes he needs to flip. And soon.
Good news for the rule of law and patriots.

The FBI SDNY investigation is likely to involve many issues unrelated to Trump-Russia. Cohen has a lot to hide. Trump has a lot to hide. There is more going on with hiding than the Russia investigation. Criminal going ons -- tax evasion, tax fraud.
Just a guess:
If Trump is in deep doo doo, the one person who knows that is Trump. Therefore his concerns for committing "political suicide" will go out the window. Why should he care about the politics of the situation if he's about to become a marked man by either Mueller or the FBI? He'll fire Rosenstein and bring in someone who'll either fire Mueller or narrow the special counsel's scope to the point in which the investigation goes no further. Then either Sessions or Rosenstein's replacement will quash the Cohen investigation.
There are enough Trump lackey's in this country who'll go right along with it and probably re-elect him. Some Congressional seats will be lost but Trump doesn't really care about that. He just wants to be in charge and not have anyone find out about his true background...particularly financially.

Trump cannot touch the Cohen document investigation. That is being handled by NY State.

Is that true? I thought it was the Southern District of NY, which is Federal.
