Will Democrats accept the Mueller report?

by Tim Finnegan

Mar 23, 2019

I highly doubt it. One thing that does seem clear is that there is no evidence of collusion or obstruction. No indictments of the President. No indictments of anyone on charges of collusion or obstruction.

However, I doubt that even a nearly two year long investigation will be enough for the Democrats. If Mueller does not recommend chargin...See More

T.E.C. - Iowa Trump is overtly awful, but what else is new! Obama had a classy demeanor, but did awful things - which included war crimes and the worst; he both baled out the banks, and then let them foreclose on thousands of American homes.

So, what is the Trump/Russia thing or the Trump/Impeachment thing all about? Be they Democrat or Republican, this...See More

If Giuliani Has a Strategy for Defending Trump, It’s Buried Under Layers of Ineptitude

In nearly every interview, he’s hurting his client and making a fool of himself.

Dark days

by Bob R/CA

Aug 3, 2018

You can buy Trump products online. But you have to go to the dark web to buy the actual Trump. It accepts bitcoin, and rubles.

Russian meddling continues and Trump couldn’t care less

Whatever the explanation for our apathy, the country is under attack by Russia and the president isn't putting up a fight.

by Chalky

Feb 17, 2018

Some on this board have posted that Mueller hasn't presented any public evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is just the beginning.

"Vice President Pence on Tuesday affirmed the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election, stating firmly what President Trump has been reluctant to say.

"While other nations certainly possessed the capability, the fact is Russia meddled in our 2016 elections," Pence said, speakin...See More

Before we defend them, we should check if they've paid up

by Bob R/CA

Jul 19, 2018

Trump says before we defend another NATO country, we should see if they've "paid up" their share.

I think the secret service should inspect Trump's tax returns, before they jump in front of a bullet for him. Make sure he's paid his share of taxes.
