I had long ago said that if Trump didn't go down directly due to what Mueller found (and he will be impeached for Obstruction), that he is so criminal that if he got a second term, he would do something new by then that would be his undoing. He is not a good person. He has no moral compass. He has no sense about what is wrong or right for a President to do. It's just a matter of time with him, and justice will ultimately prevail.
but flagpole he's survived and stayed out of jail and prospered for 70 years despite having no personal ethics or moral code.
That's what I'm talking about. He has some innate sense of how to stay out of serious trouble. Part of that is the corrupt NY and NYC politics, but it's more than that. He knows where the line is, in his lizard brain. And he is charismatic so he gets other people to do the dirty work for him.
Of course, you could say the same about other crime bosses - they stay out of jail for 40 years and then one day someone flips on him and it's RICO time baby. Off to Sing Sing.
We will see. Being President of the United States puts him under a much bigger microscope. Corruption and money has saved him so far, but I don't attach any smarts to that, and his ability to keep this up is coming to an end.

I remember hearing the same thing about Bush, Cheney, Henry Paulson, and like three dozen other people. People were certain they were going to jail for starting a war on false premises. In all honesty, Trump is small potatoes compared to that administration. Sure he's mean, and yeah he's probably mentally retarded at this point, but it's all hot air.
When you actually have no soul and political savvy then you get never ending war in the Middle East and the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression (although both of these things are looking more likely every day, but I still put the chances of materialization relatively low). Until that happens again, I'll rank Trump ahead of Bush and accept the fact that he won't go to jail.
Never heard that stuff from me. Trump is the most corrupt US President we have ever had, and it's not even close. The House is going to impeach him, and when he is out of office, he will go to prison (unless he dies first, or space aliens or criminal behavior prevent it).

I'm really trying hard to figure out what Trump might have promised in a phone call to another national leader that completely freaked out someone in the IC. I mean what could it possibly be?
Most likely related to a real estate that personally benefits Trump. Trump would sacrifice take over of another country if that's what it took for him to close the deal. Especially a country he could care less about, which covers most of the world.

We do need to replace ALL gasoline cars with EVs. Right now in the US, EVs are about 2% of all sales. Other nations are way ahead of us, like Norway where it is over 50% of sales.
Many countries have laws which phase out new gasoline cars by around 2030. We need to do the same.
You actually agree, in my opinion, with small share. I read the comment as most cars have small market penetration whether they are gasoline or electric. Obvi posted, "EVs have a relatively small share of the car market (is this disputable?)," and somehow ignored that most cars have a relatively small share of the car market.
Good Dog! How stupid can you possibly be?!?
No, Fat dude is not agreeing with you. He wants ALL cars/trucks to be electric. Not luxury cars, specialty cars/trucks . . . ALL cars and trucks. So the right metric is market share of EVs to ALL cars and trucks.
Seriously, are you some kind of moron?

Trump sues to try to stop tax returns from being sent to NY prosecutor
Here is their argument (really):
"Virtually 'all legal commenters agree' that a sitting President of the United States is not 'subject to the criminal process' while he is in office,"
Trump is above the law

In addition to Flagpole having guaranteed that Trump will be impeached, he also guaranteed that the Senate would have enough votes to convict him and remove him, and, Trump knowing this, would resign first. So, Flagpole is batting 0-3 unless the House does actually impeach him and I would say the odds of that are very miniscule. Flagpole is batting 0.00.
Dean Wormer said it best it (when it comes to Clownpole's batting average):

One fear is that DNI Coats was fired because he found out about this...this new DNI is stonewalling congress - defying the law and keeping the content of the whistleblower's complaint secret. Being the michael cohen role.
I'm not convinced that Trump is not "stupid on these things".

Whooaaa!!! Hold on a second, cowboy (Flagpole)! You are now talking about Trump getting a second term??!!! You already guaranteed that 1) he would never finish his first term, 2) He would be impeached during his first term, and 3) He would resign prior to being impeached knowing the Senate would convict and remove him. All that HAS CHANGED!!! YOu are now talking about Trump in his SECOND TERM. Whoooaaaa!!! What happened? YOu are no longer convinced that he will never finish out his first term? All of your flopping around is making everyone's heads dizzy. You said this: AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT. THAT TRUMP WOULD NOT FINISH OUT HIS FIRST TERM. Well, now you are discussing his second term. YOu are laughable. Just a mess.

The really sad thing about that is that whoever Dean Wormer said that to, that person agreed how pathetic his GPA was. Flagpole, on the other hand, thinks his GPA is 4.0. Funniest thing ever!

The former governor of Texas, Ann Richards, once said of George Bush 43 that he was born on third base and thought he hit a triple. Flagpole has struck out every time and thinks he is batting .400.

Moscow Trump wrote:
The whistleblower complaint about making an inappropriate promise to a foreign leader has narrowed to Putin being that leader. Other leaders Trump spoke to just before the complaint was made were Kim Jong Un, the prime minister of Pakistan, the prime minister of the Netherlands, and the emir of Qatar. So, Putin it will be.
Now what did Trump do that blew the whistles at jet plane take off decibels -- ear shattering? How about promising U.S. hands off Russia to take over Ukraine or Turkey in exchange for free land in Russia for Trump developments? That is a real estate deal right up Trump's alley.
The most likely scenario is that a Russian sovereign fund is a co-signer to Trump's bank loan. All the "private talks" with Putin have been about extending this guarantee in exchange for some favor. The "mystery company" that resisted Mueller's subpoena is that Russian sovereign fund.
From the national security perspective, the most threatening one is Kim Jong Un. But I don't know what Trump could get in return by making a concession to North Korea.

No. I was maybe born on second. I was pretty fortunate (actually very fortunate) with my parents. We were okay but not super wealthy.
