I'm seeing more and more "ifs" out of you guys lately. All your posts are based on "if" scenarios now. You can't see that?

The ability to consider and evaluate potential and alternative future scenarios is a significant distinction between human reasoning and that of lower life forms. It's odd that you see this sort of thing as a problem.

it's true - I read something like this - that humans shoudl be called homo prospectus or something like that. One of our main differences between other animals is our ability to look into the future and evaluate different paths. And we can't stop doing it.

I mean we save money for 30 years in the future - no other creature even conceives of that.

well here's an if.

CNN is reporting that the Russians were overheard talking about having influence over trump because of a financial indiscretion.

Yes, that could be disinformation - lies by the Russians to influence America.

The crimes could be doing bizness with a sanctioned nation, it could be campaign finance law, it could be trump borrowing from bad people during one of his many crises.

I'll say it again - I think the collusion thing is not going anywhere. But I feel strongly that the investigations will uncover serious financial crimes. Because that is how Trump works, and that is the kind of slimeballs trump attracts.

I agree. Collusion probably happened to some degree but it will be hard to prove. Financial crimes leave a money trail.

the problem is that 75% of Republicans, even the Christian right, will shrug it off, saying that 'hey, everyone is corrupt.'

and most likely the prez can't be indicted in the courts, so it will be up to the House.

ha ha ha lol lol rotfl. If still led by the GOP.

There is a tipping point for Republicans. If they think that Trump is going to be impeached then they will want to do it before the end of this year. That way, the mess is cleaned up and they can try to project a hopeful future with a new Republican president during midterm elections.

Frankly, it's going to be really hard to get it done that fast. Mueller is just getting started and they ideally needs some indictments first.

Whoa, whoa, whoa- looks like I somehow got caught up in a text thread between you two. How's that echo chamber coming along, guys?

house investigation

senate investigation

FBI investigation

special counsel investigation

CIA investigation

NSA investigation

exactly who is this funny to?

Other than this nation's enemies?

Your country is in turmoil and being led by incompetent people and you find that funny.How un-American. But hey your a GOP'er - Party before country right?

Exactly. Exthrower, long ago, chose party over country. Sad. Pathetic.

Fortunately, justice will prevail in the end. Members of the GOP, not in bed with the Russians, will eventually see the writing on the wall and will turn on Trump and push for impeachment. As others have said, they should do this before the 2018 midterms. They need to limit damage to the GOP brand.

You were not brace enough to answer the question: Do you think Trump is a jerk? Do you respect him?

So, you're a lower life form incapable of assessing valuate potential and alternative future scenarios. Got it.

Justice will prevail when Trump repeals the estate tax, lowers he top income tax bracket, and cuts government funded programs (most of which go to rural areas), thereby widening the gap of power and wealth between liberal elites and the forgotten man.

Spicer sounds like he is a dead man walking - he has clearly been fired or expecting the hammer to come down very soon.

and he isn't denying the Kushner back channel story

not fake news.

They don't need indictments. They need all the procedures that precede an impeachment vote. I don't remember how long that took with Clinton, but, it's not something like 6 months.

It looks like Trump is giving into pressure to reorganize his office. That will probably delay any impeachment activity, if there ever is any.

Remember that Congress sets the pace for most of it's investigations.

They can easily virtually pardon anyone they chose by granting immunity and then giving them a public hearing.

JFC

Spicer took 6 quesitons and then walked off when a reporter tried to get him to actually name a major story that was fake news. Spicer named a tweet from a reporter saying Trump disrespected the Italian foreign minister. That's what he came up with, folks. A totally insignificant detail that was a tweet not a story.

You trumpers saying these stories are fake...you're being taken for a ride. Spicer, who is clearly happy to lie to you, won't even try to say the stories are fake.

They're true, trumpers. They are true and you are giving up your status as responsible citizens of a democracy to say they are fake.

Yawn. You guys come up with the accusation yet? Or do we need an investigation to find out what we're accusing Trump of again?

Meanwhile...

Keep those fingers crossed, Hillbots!! Sooner or later, it HAS to work, right?! Right?!! LOL

I believe there are around 6 investigations, and Trumpers are already refusing to testify and ignoring subpoenas.

have fun, boys. clock is ticking.
