If they could have taken down Trump, they would have taken him down...

[Blackrook]

....they would have produced something, anything, to take Trump down.

But they can't, because they have nothing, and all their promises that Mueller has some secret evidence against Trump is nothing more than wishful thinking.

Now, the man I feel sorry for in all this is Mueller. Because he is one day going to have to admit he has nothing, and then the left and the media will turn on him, and there will be death threats against him and his family, and he will have to go into hiding.

 

[strollingbones]

seems trump is taking down himself....how are those campaign promises going.......who is getting locked up? who? when are yall going to realize you have been conned?

 

[S.J.]

Mueller doesn't have shit. The left is pathetic, Trump has kicked all their asses. One more promise to fulfill and he'll have a perfect score. One more SC appointment won't hurt either. No wonder they hate him.

"Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President", trump tweeted (one year ago)


but just recently dumbo donny continues to lash out at the russian investigation calling the FBI "scoundrels" and "bad cops" for doing their JOB.


you see dumbos, the FBI investigation into russian spies was never about dumbo donny until he stepped into a presidential campaign while surrounding himself with ALL THE BEST criminal conspirators willing to lie to the FBI about their contacts.


The Mueller investigation is closing in on Trump

 

[Valerie]

team traitor has been aiding and abetting Russia amidst their "anti-US campaign"

 

[Valerie]

only in dumbo universe is it a WITCH HUNT for the FBI to investigate Russia's anti-US campaign

"Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President"




the dumbo parrots are still waiting for faux news to connect those dots for them ^

 

[Valerie]

Trump's attack on the FBI is an attack on the US constitution itself

Republicans are mere enablers. They and their president would do well to remember who the Watergate source worked for


Congressional Republicans who stick by Trump and protect him will be remembered as the villains of Washington’s unfolding drama. They are the ones enabling an epic White House end run around the constitution.

Instead of holding Trump to account, Republicans are joining him in a cynical attempt to tarnish the FBI and undermine the criminal investigation into Russian election meddling.

 

[Valerie]

face it dumbos, you've been bamboozled and teflon don needs to gtfo of our white house.



The Russia that Republicans love doesn’t exist

The photo showed two older American men wearing identical T-shirts with the slogan “I’d rather be a Russian than Democrat.” Both were clearly pleased with themselves — they were clearly enjoying the feeling of trolling their presumed liberal opponents.

Yet, their prank still tells you a lot. It’s a reflection of the extent to which the Republican Party has now swung behind President Trump’s extraordinary Russophilia.


For years we’ve seen American conservatives cultivating ties with Russian counterparts who seem to embody all the cool things they can’t get at home: contempt for “political correctness,” the unapologetic defense of “Christian values” and rule by a macho strongman who sneers at journalists, gays and liberal snowflakes of all varieties.

The American right is mistaken, however, when it idealizes Putin as a defender of “conservative values.” Whatever values Putin has are entirely situational — he’ll do whatever it takes to boost Russia’s power and his own (because the two are intertwined). And clueless Republicans have given him a wonderful opening to exploit.

American evangelicals who come to Russia seeking allies in the fight against unbelief have proven equally gullible. Their official interlocutor, the Russian Orthodox Church, had a long history of collaboration with the Soviet regime, one that extends into the present. The church is less a religious community than an arm of the state, which repays that loyalty by making life hard for potential rivals. Putin would never allow evangelical Protestants or Catholics to compete in a free marketplace of religious ideas. The fact that Russian authorities have explicitly banned Jehovah’s Witnesses effectively puts the lie to any claims that Russia cares about “Christian values.” (And don’t look now — but Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seems to agree.)


Russian religious leaders love telling their American counterparts — such as star Trump supporter Franklin Graham — how much they hate the idolatry and decadence of the modern age. Yet, the stirring sermons never seem to have much of an effect on Russia’s sky-high levels of corruption, the ubiquity of drugs and prostitution (allegedly ably abetted by the police, who run lucrative protection rackets), or the prevalence of abortion, which remains the Kremlin’s favored method of birth control. That’s a view shared by Putin, by the way — though I doubt that many Republicans are aware. At 480 abortions per 1,000 live births, Russia’s rate is more than twice as high as that of the godless United States.


I’ve even heard some especially ill-informed conservatives try to argue that Russia is a paragon of the free market — even though anyone who knows about the country’s economy can tell you that its leading business tycoons enjoy their positions at the mercy of Putin. Those who tout Russia’s low income-tax rates should keep in mind that the tax service is one of the Kremlin’s most effective tools for keeping its political rivals in line.


And what about those white nationalists such as Richard Spencer, who like to praise Russia for its alleged success at remaining the “sole white power in the world”? Actually, a visit to just about any provincial town would show idiots like him a far more complicated reality, shaped by large-scale immigration from the majority-Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union. In that respect, indeed, even authoritarian Russia is wrestling with exactly the same globalizing forces that confront western Europe or the United States.


In short, the modern-day Republican romance with Russia has little to do with reality and everything to do self-delusion — You would think that Trump and his supporters would at least have the advantage of being able to learn from history. No such luck, apparently.

Promises Kept | President Donald J. Trump's Accomplishments

I have no idea what his final report will say, and neither does anyone here.

A socialist would really know what is American.

“You know that I, like millions of Soviet citizens, over 20 million, was a member of the Communist Party of the USSR and not only was I a member of the party but I worked for almost 20 years for an organization called the Committee for State Security,” Putin said, referring to the KGB.

“I was not, as you know, a party member by necessity,” he said. “I liked Communist and socialist ideas very much and I like them still.”

In his speech, Putin insisted he was never just a “functionary” when it came to party matters and said the Moral Code of the Builder of Communism—a set of rules to be followed by all party members—“resembles the Bible a lot.”

Communism gets a big endorsement from a certain world leader
