It actually doesn't matter that there a shred of plausible deniability. Even if there was an airtight, irrefutable case against them, their supporters still wouldn't get it.

He's a more honest than that, acknowledging he'd probably raise taxes on the middle class. Not nearly enough to pay for what he's proposing, but at least unlike Warren he's not lying about it entirely. His spending can't be remotely paid for by soaking the ultra rich or just the regular old rich.
We could maybe, reduce the 750 billion dollar defense budget idk.

We could, maybe, reduce the military budget, but he's proposing $50 trillion in new spending over the next 10 years. Would more than double the federal budget and be ~7x the military budget over that time period, increase the share of GDP taken up by the federal government by 20%.

Luckily for him, the American people are bad at math. Unluckily for him, they're scared by attack ads that wave big numbers around.

Days before Europeans warned Iran of nuclear deal violations, Trump secretly threatened to impose 25% tariff on European autos if they didn’t

I don't think anyone thinks that all of his proposals will be enacted and obviously everyone's taxes would have to go up somewhat and also obviously he's never going to say that on the campaign trail.

If Parnas is to be taken at his word the breadth of this conspiracy is stunning

Nothing he said was surprising in any way - but it's useful to get more daylight on Trump and his mafia.

This is just a tiny taste of Trump's crimes.

Utah’s Department of Health planned to distribute 100,000 condoms turning some popular state slogans and landmarks into double-entendres. But it apparently did not amuse Governor Gary Herbert, who put a stop to the campaign just hours after it became public.

“The Governor understands the importance of the Utah Department of Health conducting a campaign to educate Utahns about HIV prevention,” his spokeswoman, Anna Lehnardt, told FOX 13 in a statement. “He does not, however, approve the use of sexual innuendo as part of a taxpayer-funded campaign, and our office has asked the department to rework the campaign’s branding.”

The Myspace page of a candidate for the PA House will probably come up in a primary that is taking place. Amazing what's still available.
