Trump has been the brunt of a lot of jokes since the late 80s, but not the political scandals of the Clintons. That is the primary difference in how Americans choose to remember.

The most important news today was not about Manafort but Papadopoulos, a foreign-policy advisor who has already pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his dealings with representatives of the Russian government. He is now cooperating with Mueller.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/u...os-russia.html The stuff about Manafort mostly predated his work prior to his joining the campaign. The meetings Papadopoulos had were during the campaign. The emails the Russians profferred may have been the same ones later offered in the June meeting at Trump Tower. Any such efforts by a foreign power are illegal, and once higher-ups at the Trump campaign were notified about the Russian overtures, they should have informed the FBI.

Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus????? Quote:

There is a tremendous pressure to undermine Muller's investigation. At one point in July it also appeared that Trump might fire Muller. At that point a lot of the GOP senior members came out in support of Muller. Lindsay Graham flat out said he would introduce legislation to protect Muller and pointedly said it would be the "beginning of the end" of Trump's presidency if he dares fire him. While Trump didn't fire Muller, the pressure to undermine him was mounted relentlessly by his proxies.
When it was revealed that Muller has sealed document for the first indictment, a lot of ex-attorney turn politician pointed out the indictment will reveal how much pressure Muller is under. If Muller name names only small fish in that indictment, he isn't under too much pressure and he is moving strategically to the end goal. But... but if he names bigger fish like Paul Manafort or Michael Flyn then the tell tale sign is Muller is moving quickly because he feels the pressure to undermine this investigation is overwhelming and they might even succeed. Case in point, when it was asked of the GOP today if they will introduce bills to protect Muller from firing, they brushed it aside.

I always wondered if those senators should just have switched parties. It happens in quite a lot of other countries when it comes to MPs and representatives. If those senators had any balls, they should have outright said that they don't believe in the GOP anymore and thus they make the switch.

I don't think those warnings are empty, but these protests are too little too late. The train wreck has been happening in slow motion for decades. It has to run its course.

I wonder what dumb thing Trump will do to try to divert the attention from this one.
Mueller still thread it carefully it seems, there's no Trump in the indictment. I want to say I look forward to this while eating popcorn but I doubt it'll end in a short time. If Manafort does flip it'll help a lot in hauling Trump though. Papadopoulos is more important than Manafort for now, until he flip that is. What are you talking about? There's still Roy Moore, your next president.

Papadopoulos might very turn out to be Trumps's "John Dean" as him alone might out and bring down a ton of high profile people like say Jeff Sessions who he is heavily connected too.
Seth Abramson has a long, but detailed thread that puts this all together. Frankly if was somebody tied up in all this now would be a good time to start cutting deals with Mueller. I wonder if he'll go after Flynn too. |

Trump Twitter account shut down by employee on last day of work
This should technically fall within thread guidelines.

"Great Tax Cut rollout today. The lobbyists are storming Capital Hill, but the Republicans will hold strong and do what is right for America!"
Another plan that he personally doesn't even understand yet again. It's hilarious to see him trying to explain about the plan on the news. So much for a nice student & very intelligent ivy league graduates. lol Interesting tax plan though. The people there should love it. lol

Tweets from Nov 2:
Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H....Tweets from Nov 3: My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.You can tell he is rattled. He is pretty much repeating the same thing. That said, however, I also won't mind seeing reform how presidential primary is conducted by the Democratic party. It doesn't protect Mueller from firing outright but it does make things much harder to fire Mueller. If Donnie is brave enough to fire Mueller at this juncture, especially after Paul Manafort's indictment, the case for obstruction of justice against him becomes much easier to make. May be he will take heed to what Steve Bannon suggested 2 days ago: cut off Mueller's funding.
