This should have been a leave Trump enough rope moment, but the Dems really couldn't have let Trump go unanswered. I wish they would have picked just one person to do a brief statement with some energy.

This.

I still cannot get over the comment about people building fences at their homes. That was awesome because someone thought it was a brilliant line.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

A little off the subject, but FINALLY, it appears people are starting to have had it with Lumpy...

Rachel Maddow beat Sean Hannity by over ONE MILLION viewers last night...she's been winning in ratings recently, but not by this much

Maybe Trump's base is indeed shrinking...

I'm not sure that's the right word for it. A disease a natural thing that happens. This is calculated and orchestrated. The Russians have done quite the number on us and Trump has followed his marching orders very well.

Actually monkey boy it is just like how people “get sick” when they cross the Russians ... intentionally but an external act of poisoning.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has lowered the status of the European Union's diplomats in Washington without notifying Brussels, EU officials said on Tuesday.


He’s for Brussels, Wisconsin, which Hillary Clinton did not even know existed.

The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in a mysterious subpoena fight that apparently involved an unidentified foreign-government-owned company and special counsel Robert Mueller.


The mystery grows. All the reporting is the same, and one of the argument is that complying with US court orders violates their own country‘s laws which grant them sovereignty and immunity to other nations interests.

The Donald needs a crisis to declare a national emergency.

I wonder who he is going to ask to attack us.

Konstantin Kilimnik the conspirator! Unmasked.

Postby joboggi » Wed Jan 09, 2019 07:45:46

Manafort met several times with Konstantin Kilimnik, who is connected with Russian intelligence, and that Manafort shared the Trump campaign's internal polling numbers.

Assuming Mueller has proof of his claims—and surely he must—then this would appear to be the smoking gun that proves collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The reason that Kilimnik & Co. would want the polling numbers would be to target their operations—either their online propaganda campaign, or their efforts to interfere with voting. So that would be Team Trump giving information to Russian, and Team Putin turning around and using that information to manipulate the election. If that's not collusion, it's hard to imagine what is.

The back story. Manafort attorney filed information but did not use the redaction software properly.

The NYT deciphered the software, and there you have it.

A big slice of conspiracy to steal an election.

Trump packaged up his hateful lies and read the teleprompter with suprising accuracy. For him, that's a win.

If you read a Pelosi/Schumer transcript, they win. Pelosi had an effective mantra, "the fact is..."

BUT they looked like Morticia and Lurch up there. The optics were just abysmal. One of them should have handled it, sitting in a leather chair, relaxed but firm.

Better yet, give that same message to someone more charismatic. Uncle Joe Biden would have been perfect, but I'm sure they don't want to boost his run for the WH. Same with Beto.
