Looks like some centrist parties in Israel are merging to take on Netanyahu/Likud.

And so the Donalds approval continues at a very low but consistent rate.

Just what do the faithful think about all of these crimes?

Seriously.

There must be some Trump faithful on this board.

What do you think about the obvious preeminence of Putin in the Donald's thinking?

what about everything else criminal he's been doing over the last 20-30 years before he became a bumbling moron? He seemed to be working on the trump moscow building personally during his trip there. He seemed to be working with the chinese personally. He's been a lot of this stuff personally and then he knows nothing about this one thing? Maybe, but it seems more likely that he knew.

And what about Pence, the man in charge of the transition and the person who covered for Flynn. I know he's not Trump, but I'm curious if anyone thinks he was in on this. He was Manafort's man and Tom Barrack also wanted him. They are all at the center of the Russia/Saudi cyclone of corruption.

Too busy right now to listen to the podcast, but I get it. I'm just not sure I buy it. Propaganda is pretty powerful, even to the resistant. There's a reason right wing radio has born entire regions of idiots.

But it's certainly possible. I just think he's so corrupt in other areas that it doesn't really matter. Whatever takes him down is fine with me. The truth will be revealed eventually, even if we're dead and gone when it does.

Granted I originally posted this in a baseball thread, but be very wary of those with bad haircuts, they don't bluff. History

is that your way of saying there's stuff about Pence in the podcast?

No, there's a good chance Pence was in on it, but later on

Dude's got a good haircut. Those fuckers are wildcards. Don't know what side he's playing.

I think so. I'll be surprised if he wasn't because some of his actions seemed designed to block the investigation. I think he's going down at some point. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump survives this scandal, but falls due to other ones.

It's basically a nightmare scenario for our democracy

Somehow Trump's approval ratings are back up to where they were before the shutdown.

What's this podcast called again?

When Trump plays to the crowd, his numbers go up.

"Knowledge Fight" (a humorous take on InfoWars). It really gets in the weeds so I don't know if I'd recommend it. They did a 21 part investigation (each part about 2-2.5 hours) into when Alex Jones became a Trumper. Actually I think that is ongoing still

I heard the NPR teaser about Never Trumpers jumping on the Trump train, but not the report. I also could not find it on their website. Shooting from the hip I would expect it to be 'falling in line', but I am curious about the reasoning given. Anyone heat it?
