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.

The legacy of this abuse is likely to haunt us long after Trump is gone. It's kind like poisoning all the water just to take out one guy. It might work, but at what cost?
Fox "News"?!?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Fox has aired something truthful recently...

Yeah, that list is ridiculous. A couple things are correct. Most of it is crap.
Uhhh, what?
I challenge you to find "a couple things" on the list that are NOT correct.
Good evening! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine PM?

0/10, Troll -- either the troll Hardloper or Jamin 4sure.
I'll fap to that! Trumpublican chaos turns me on until my man nuggets get so rigid they could cut the bullet proof glass protecting DFFs tiny pen!s and its surrounding shroud of fear.
Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?

The thing about being a Randite is that you pretty much have to buy the whole package--and the *basis* for her views is rationality, evidence, logic, and so forth. (Not gonna get involved in discussing how she personally applied those inconsistently.)
Meanwhile, Ryan is a god-believer and Catholic, and his religion is the foundation for hi s life. Regardless of one's opinion of Rand, religion, and irreligion, it is simply not possible to reconcile a fundamentally nonrational process like religious faith...with a logic-based approach to reality. One or the other has to take precedence; if you try to maintain both, you're bound to fail. And the attempt is probably very wearing and wearying.

Here are Republican speakers of the House in this millennia.
Dennis Hastert: Gay Pedophile
John Boehner: Alcoholic and Pothead (now on the the board of a cannabis company--he is pro-marijuana)
Paul Ryan: Fake Randian, Fake Religious, Swamp Creature > Hypocrite.

Now we have a possible Trump child out of wedlock. Nice:

I think the only taboo things not proven yet for Trump are pedophilia and murder.

Not a single indictment for an American related to the very accusation that kicked off the probe. So funny.
Hold on a sec, Disco Gayy, Triggered by Hillary and jaminLoper are right! The FBI is commie hippie libtards!
James Comey's full name is James Brien Comey Jr., if you take the middle line out of that B, you have a D. Comey is a Democrat!! Christopher Wray's full name is Christopher Asher Wray. Flip that C around, take the curve from that H and move it right to the left of the flipped C and you have a D. Wray is a Democrat!! Rob Mueller's full name is Robert Swan Mueller III. Take the bottom lines out from the R, and you have a very little D. Mueller is a Democrat!!
Checkmate, libtards! Deep State confirmed!
DiscoGary wrote:What happened to Russian collusion?
Gary, why do you keep using that weak talking point? Once and for all:
1. Most people see through Whataboutism.
2. "Collusion," as it pertains to Statecraft is most likely not a legal term. So, you win! Oh wait, that's right... No.
3. Do we need to go through the list of felony charges and felony pleas Mueller already delivered?
4. It's a very, very, very bad sign for the lawyer and his client when the Feds can get a warrant on the lawyer.
Can you please just stop with that nonsense?
It's no secret the Dear Leader is okay with sexual assault, and sleeps with anything that looks like his daughter. Most people don't care in 2018. It's genuinely sad, but true.
What I enjoy though are the Christian thought police not saying a peep about the Dear Leader. What gymnastics do they use to approve of Trump, yet carry on with their moralistic thought police activity?

That's actually a reasonable list.
Now, the speculative aspect of the first part will be debated forever, regardless of if any Americans are ever indicted for collusion.
But the achievements portion of the list is, in fact, factual. Not sure how anyone could deny that those things did or are occurring.
It's coming fast and hard and deep and you know it.

Conveniently, the legal term "collusion" does not exist for crimes against the State. If you were attempting to fix prices with your competitor in an industry, that is described as collusion.
Trumpbots need new material.

Let's add "airplanes staying up in the sky", or "the sun rising," to the list praising the Dear Leader. Both are as "factual" as the nonsense posted.
