US Politics

I wonder if Trump has considered that it would be ever so slightly more exonerating for him if Russia had started its campaign after he was 'elected' President.

Amazingly, this is not one of the many fakes. She's an advisor to the Russian department in charge of economic development. They met in Moscow in late 2013 after the Miss World shindig.

Has Pisti yentzed her?

We all know Trump only goes for blondes

apparently not

Anyway, Trump's lawyers said this would be over by Christmas and that he would be exonerated. Surely just a minor delay...

Definitely

planning false flag terrorist attacks

Please provide sources for this claim

The market makers all read the memo

Do you have a copy?

If anyone in this thread hasn't been following the story in detail and wants an easy to digest précis of the collusion case against Trump, Seth Abramson has just posted the definitive tweet thread:

Of course, there are the small matters of massive amounts of Obstruction of Justice, Tax Evasion, Money Laundering and Sexual Assault to take into account as well...

A quick 20-minute visit to the hospital (on the way to Mar-a-Lago)

Twenty minutes!

On the whole I am not on board with criticism of how a leader conducts their ceremonial duties. 20 minutes, 1 hour... who cares? As long as he is not performing first aid or emptying bed pans, a president is entirely superfluous in a hospital.
Focusing predominately on the kissing babies, shaking hands stuff risks having voters electing a reality TV show type with no grasp of realpolitik whatsoever. Not that this is likely to happen in a Western democracy anytime soon, but still.

trump kissing you would surely pass on some nasty disease or at least make you feel a bit ill
best he stay away from hospitals

The twenty minutes I was referring to was the first response time. The idea that it takes that long to get to a school shootout and that the president then applauds it as a stunning example of alacrity is horrifying to me.

Ah OK. My mistake.

Wow. That is pretty shocking.
FWIW the London Bridge attack was over within something like 8 minutes of the Polis having received the first call.

Btw, I am confused about the indictment of those 13 Russians. Are any of them in the physically present in the US? And if so, have any of them been arrested?

It's more likely a warning shot to the people in US/elsewhere that took their money.

Rosenstein statement "There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity, there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election."

i.e. we have the bank records and Paypal payments from these 14 bank accounts, we know what you did.

Parklands Florida is not London/Munich/NewYork.

Yeah, agreed.
I was hesitant before posting. It isn't a like-for-like comparison.

Meanwhile the Trump tax cuts are kicking in:

Not only this, but politically it’s a very smart move as well. Even though I’m sure the republicans will try to spin it anyways, it’s hard to paint the indictments of foreign nationals as an aspect of a partisan investigation. Trump’s latest statements seem to indicate they have grasped this. Presidents’ Day is Monday by the way...

fuck my soul is that even real?

dem sketches.

jesus. capitalism has failed.

A little sick just came up in my throat.
