You missed the Trump wig.

I like the Pelosi stern stare :)

Gotta like the Clinton pant suits too...

Does Rand Paul actually wash his hair?

If they ever make a movie about Mikulski, it's gotta star Linda Hunt. But let's not get AFM too excited.

it WASN'T A JOKE.

There is a federal investigation into this very matter.

And conspiring with a foreign entity to influence an American election is...bad. Terrible?

The most consequential betrayal in US History?

(If Iran had helped elect Obama, can you honestly say it would be no big deal?)

Nunes has been demanding that the FBI turn over the document that launched the bureau's 2016 Russia investigation. Republicans have seen a redacted version of the document, which indicates the probe began as a result of a Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, telling an Australian diplomat that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Politico

I'm saying the crack about Russia turning over the Clinton emails was a joke. Do you really think that if Trump was actually colluding with Russia on the emails, he would openly direct them to release the emails with an audience of millions watching? Are you that far down the rabbit hole?


in short after an investigation with the full weight of the US house, US senate, US FBI, and independent counselor, the US CIA, US NSA....after all of that...2 years of it...

that is all you guys have???????????????? "russia are you listening" . :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Thats it!!!!!!!!???????????????????? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


you guys should be ashamed of yourselves for believing this nonsense. even more foolish for actually writing that, "russia are you listening" is your evidence. A wise cracking trump who clearly had no idea who had what info. In fact, to this day, its still not even proven where Assange got the emails...be it russia or other.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Do Trump ball-washers understand that it's not liberals who are or ever have been running the FBI investigations against the Trump administration?

Uh, how was this 'clearly a joke' considering the timing of events? And if it is a joke, why would it surprise you that people are upset about it?

June 3, 2016: Donald Trump Jr., “if it’s what you say I love it”
June 9, 2016: Trump Tower meeting (attended by Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner)
July 18, 2016: Trump’s platform drops pro-Ukrainian language
July 22, 2016: Wikileaks publishes first round of Clinton emails
July 27, 2016: "Russia, if you're listening..."
August 21, 2016: Roger Stone tweets, "Trust me, it will soon the Podesta's time in the barrel"

Why would anyone even remotely impartial disregard that statement from Trump or conclude he was joking? Or not be bothered by it considering the context that is now publicly available?

Because I'm applying common sense.

If Trump really was colluding with Russia, why would he inform the whole world about it? Why not make a secret call to his good buddy Putin and have him release the emails. Also, the 33,000 stolen emails to which Trump was referring were never released by Wikileaks, Russia or anybody else. If Trump was working with the Russians, he would know that they didn't have those emails.


1. He is an idiot
2. That is how he has been getting away with breaking laws all his life, immediately copping to it and pretending it's a joke.

It's pathetic and lame, and nobody is fooled.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

I actually have no problem with how she answered that. She's right. He should ask direct questions without referencing court cases.

And their idea of turning on Donald Trump is... to tell the truth about Donald Trump. Guess what happens when these clowns - and they're 100% clowns - don't talk? The investigation goes on and on and on until people do talk. In the meantime, it's laughable for them to complain about how long the investigation takes, because they are the **** reason it's taking so long. And "they" includes the clown holding the title of President. Are people really so stupid that they don't understand their clowns are the ones causing the investigation to go on and on? If you are one of those people, try using your brain for the first time in more than a year.

so i called it almost immediately. and stand by it. I think there is no way for Rosenstein to not be gone. within 2 weeks.

1. Trump will fire him.
2. House will impeach him.
3. he will recuse.
4. he will resign.
5. sessions will fire him.

from there, its time to put Mueller's cards on the table. whatever he's got? cards on table. if nothing else? he's done.

and if I'm donald trump, I would head on down to mara lago and play golf until both rosenstein and mueller are gone. Basically not take a single call, a single meeting...until "must communicate scenarios present themselves" and every 7 seconds I would have my personal attorney interrupt me with chatter about mueller. basically Trump should take a knee. refuse to govern under this type of attack from his own DOJ. They have collusion or they dont. if they dont time to end this thing. A semi-refusal to govern except executive orders strictly advancing his agenda.

Trump is an idiot for signing the omnibus and the tax reform without confronting Mueller first. Trump should have had lawmakers
put Daca, tax reform, and the omnibus spending bill on his desk. and held them all hostage until congress nominated all of his appointees and removed mueller and rosentein. Now wray needs to go to.

Why on earth trump doesn't have a single "friend" to nominate for these positions is beyond comprehension. There was no lifetime lawyer he knew to run justice? No lifetime cop on his special security detail through the years to make head of FBI?

These are the 2 most important position any president can hire. the 2 heads of his DOJ. Idiot!! One thing is for sure. his loyalty to sessions, a known weasel...i mean the man looks like a fricking possum...he hired him to be his head of the DOJ....wow. Any lawyer could have filled this posiiton. guiliani was the obvious choice!!
like i said, its a full rebuild.

No, man, there's not true satisfaction without a bold as brick bubbles flip flop. Hahaha, STD's likely to be subpoenaed soon too, with indictments to follow. Until then, he'll be all over the place, just like his idol's Syrian (or choose a) position.

On top of this I would add that as a billionaire he gets away with whatever he wants. He's bringing that "I'm a billionaire and am therefore above the law" attitude to the presidency, where he's discovering that even the President, *especially* the President, isn't above the law. He has committed multiple felonies in front of our faces and the only reason he isn't in jail already is because Quisling Nunes has protected him and Mueller has *so much* to investigate that he hasn't been able to sift through the totality of all the GOP's crimes yet.

I read a interesting question the other day when Trump is convicted and goes to prison.
Does he get "Secret Service" protection when incarcerated?

Maybe SD20 can ask his pick Nunes (Masters in Agriculture) for replacing Sessions in the DOJ?

This whole premise is so unbelievable that I can't even believe I'm having this conversation with otherwise rational, intelligent people.

Basically, you will dismiss any logical refutation of your argument by simply saying "he is an idiot so he must have done it". That is your intellectual foundation for removing the duly elected president of the United States.
