Thou dost protest too much

Truth isn't Truth
I think someone is hearing footsteps following him and getting closer
Almost all the tweets now are proclaiming witch hunt, or Muellers angry Democrats (remember the guy who is saying this, was a democrat in 2001)
But he still has time for golf which he has played 3x as much as Obama
Remember he wouldn't have time for golf he'd be so busy being president unlike Obama who spent all his time playing golf.
So far we have spent $75 million for Trump to play golf in less than 2 years and he spent years complaining about Obama when we spent $114 million total in 8 years, I expect it will be $300 milllion for Trump to play and what percentage of that ends up back in his pocket?

I got a laugh out of that one. You post more here than anybody else. The hypocrisy out of the right is amazing. Let's discuss whiny college students like you bring up frequently. How many times do you compare his saying one thing to trumps saying the same type of thing hundreds and hundreds of times and feel there's an equivalency

US President Donald Trump has said he is worried he might face perjury charges if he gives statements under oath to the investigation into Russia's alleged role in his election victory.

"Perjury is what they're really worried about," he said, and perjury — "a material representation of fact for the purposes of deception"



Giuliani intentionally spinning a narrative where Trump is being victimized.


(saw this in a tweet)
Since 1965

Democrats (25 years in power):
3 indictments
1 conviction
1 prison sentence.

Republicans (28 years in power):
120 indictments
89 convictions
34 prison sentences.

Remind me again how both parties are basically the same? ...


republicans are still more worried about a blow job in the oval office then the Blow Hard currently in the oval office . its amazing to watch them think everyone's after Trump Just Because.... so lets review its not because he beat Hillary or that he is white or he is a republican or a business man .... Its actually based on what he has said... what he himself has done ,,, what his administration has done (captain of the authoritarian ship) the economy alone is not enough to change the topic or out weigh all the negatives HE and I stress HE creates all by himself the fake news and bias matra is falling on deaf ears only the true base still believes in that , hell they still think Obama wasn't born Here ... MAGA who would have guessed what Trumps again looks likes .... dosn't look good to me

This is what you get when you use twitter as a source of "Hard Hitting" journalism

There were 2 democrats convicted LAST YEAR....


Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was convicted of sending sexually explicit photos of himself to a 15-year-old girl and was made to sign the sexual offenders register. (2017)

Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted on 18 felony counts of wire and tax fraud, conspiracy, lying to federal investigators, and other corruption charges. (2017)


Pesky Facts

Looks like the witch hunt has eight more convictions and with that and Cohens remarkable comments which implicates Trump in the illegal campaign contributions, I think the risk of severe tweeter storms is imminent. Shelter in place people it’s going to get rough.

Actually that was 16 convictions just today, and Manafort has to face more charges in a DC court.

All these guys Trump says are good people and have done nothing wrong keep going down? What could be going on?

Yup, I was only counting the eight for pour Paul and I hear now Duncan Hunter and his wife have been indicted, so the list of “good people” that are going down is growing. Who’s betting on another term now? I’m not sure we won’t see a resignation before this term is out, but I’m sure Rudy will give him some grade A legal advice!

And yet even after being convicted on eight counts, DJT claims he has been treated unfairly, it’s a sad testament when our president comes down on the side on a convicted felon. What isn’t surprising is the quality of people he surrounded himself with during the campaign and since, with a revolving door back into the private sector or into jail. Mueller won’t indicate, so Trump will continue to stew over what is coming when the final report is presented to Congress. At that point I’d be betting on a resignation to avoid impeachment.

So it’s back to making America great again, starting with reducing emission limits and getting those coal plants firing up again. No problem with funding the wall, he is going to sh*t enough bricks over the next couple months he can build the wall.

All tax paying Americans should be happy when people get arrested for tax fraud. A sad day also for all Americans when people close to our President get arrested.

At Pres. Trump's rally last night they were chanting lock her up and swamp the drain

Trump has been implicated in the commissioning of a federal crime. His personal attorney has plead guilty to this charge. The odds of this all being made up are not good.

You don't even need to talk about Russian collusion and obstruction of justice any more, that's just icing on the cake. The campaign violations are enough to impeach on their own.

the midterms are going to be fascinating. i have no idea what’s going to happen nationally in the house, and i’m very curious to see what happens at home in CT, which has been trending right a little, and where people are figuring out where we are ( broke) and how we got here (insane spending).

if the gdp numbers for the 3rd quarter are big, will people care more about the economy, or about trumps lack of ethics? who the hell knows with this guy. every prediction of doom thus far, has been laughably wrong. but this feels different.

former Bill Clinton advisor/pollster wrote this today in The HILL ...just sayin'...some other interesting perspective in there


"Donald Trump should do a better job of picking aides who pay their taxes — but he’s not responsible for their financial problems and crimes. These investigations, essentially based on an opposition-funded dossier, were never anything other than an attempt to push into a corner as many Trump aides and family members as possible and shake them down until they could get close enough to Trump to try to take him down. That’s why so many of his aides, lawyers, and actions in the campaign and in the White House have undergone hour-by-hour scrutiny to find anything that could be colored into a crime, leaving far behind the original Russia-collusion theory as the fake pretext it was. Paying for nondisclosure agreements for perfectly legal activities is not a crime, not a campaign contribution as commonly understood or ruled upon by the FEC"
