Former President Donald J. Trump

[Sneelock]

He's the man in the tin-foil hat. look how many of his pardons are for right-wing ram-rods -- Dinesh D'Souza, "Sherrif Joe", THOSE clowns...
yeah, these are his people and, you can bet, Donald Trump is a guy that expects favors when he gives favors.

[Davey the Fat Boy]

Someday, and that day may never come, Dom Trump will call upon you to do a service for him.

[Sneelock]

the Domald.

[Jimbo]

Here is another, less naive view of the Chait article.

[Davey the Fat Boy]

Like clockwork!

[Count Machuki]

He’ll be back.

That took, like, two pages! I think we're wearing him down.

Also, from the article:

presstitute media

ZING! Take that, objective reality!

[Davey the Fat Boy]

Also...

“conscious or de facto CIA assets”

Did anyone notice that this latest article Jimbo posted doesn’t even bother to do any debunking of the articles it supposedly debunks? The guy just describes the various articles in somewhat unflattering terms - then finishes with a big, “This is the level of absurdity that the American media delivers to the public’s understanding of foreign affairs.”

Bra-vo! Robert Parry lives on!

[Snarfyguy]

Like Trump himself, Jimbo always seems persuaded by the most recent voice to have his ear.

The other day, Chait's piece seemed reasonable to him; today that view's been superseded by Paul Craig Roberts' no-doubt silver-tongued demolition of same (even as it appears to fail to address it in any substantive way).

Oh well!

good. I'm just going to look at pictures of that crowd and try to decompress.
there's a week's worth of crap going on TODAY -- my brain is just plain shutting down. it's too much.
I'm like an Android on an old skool Star Trek episode. smoke is coming out of my ears. I'm shutting down.
tooo.
much.

I had a similar meltdown a few weeks ago. I still look at the news and even started watching the livestream of the indictment announcement today, but I’m really fucking over all of it for awhile. I’m worn out.

[Davey the Fat Boy]

It’s the rope-a-dope Presidency.

[Snarfyguy]

The indictment released by Mueller's team on Friday states that the goal of Russian intelligence officers behind the alleged hacking operation was to sway the 2016 election, and the intelligence community has agreed that Russia came to prefer a Trump victory.

Rosenstein emphasized in his press conference that this particular indictment doesn't allege Americans cooperated with the Russian effort, and also that there was no effort undertaken to assess the actual impact of the scheme.

"[Any] impact they may have had, or what their motivation may have been independently of what's required to prove this offense, is a matter of speculation," he said. "That's not our responsibility."

In its response to the indictment, the White House pointed to that lack of specific proof that the Russian intelligence operations ultimately swung the election to Trump.

LOL

PS - Holy shit there are some explosive allegations in this indictment!

The conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0 "received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the U.S. Congress. The Conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent"

How does Roger Stone get himself out of this?

[BARON CORNY DOG]

His only contact in the campaign was the President!

In the immortal words of Rick Perry: “oops.”

[Snarfyguy]

Gotta love the Brits.

[copehead]

You gotta love someone so stupid that they can give an interview to a "newspaper" and then call it fake news when they print it.

The only people dumber than this fuck are the idiots who voted for him.

[Davey the Fat Boy]

Who here thinks Jimbo votes for him?

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Jimbo hasn’t voted since 1968!
Man.

If Chuck Shumer thinks Trump needs to call off his meeting with Putin then he should.

Did not the 12 indicted Russians already present themselves for charges? G'head, try us.

And here is Kyle's take on the Chait article, or more like a take on a Chait interview on MSNBC where Chait seems muddled and hard pressed to stick his landing.
