I want to see Rudy Julianni walk into the Supreme Court with the legal concept that Donald could walk in there with a Beretta and take out the whole court and then pardon himself...

The Battle for Reality is being waged online, on the tube, and, thankfully, has not risen to the point of injurious weaponry.
I read a book about the Roman Empire, translated from Italian, in which this phrase appeared:
The official fictions.

Trumpboi continues stirring the pot by pondering whether he can pardon himself...One former prosecutor asks just exactly what it is trump wants to pardon himself for...? I think don should be more concerned about whether his jail cell is big enough for a putting carpet...

Doesn't Rudy know that a good catholic boy doesn't use the lord's name in vain?
Trump cancels Superbowl winners' White House visit.
It seems only ten members out of about ninety of the Super Bowl winning Philadelphia Eagles accepted Trump's invitation to visit with him....so he canceled the invite.
He claimed they:
"disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country."
None of the Eagles knelt during the anthem for the entire 2017 season.
Philadelphia mayor, Jim Kenney, responded with his own statement:
"Disinviting them from the White House only proves that our President is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend."

tRump is losing the plot, and he is surrounding himself with people like Rudy that are helping him spiral further into madness. Nobody that has any reasonable advice will have anything to do tRump at this point. I fully expect Sarah Sanders to finally have enough and pull the plug.
How long is congress going to sit on their a** and watch the tRump sh*t show pull the whole country down with it? Is there any honor or self respect left?

Honor and self respect? Nope. Those that are limited by that have already left or are leaving like Jeff Flake.
There is only winning. If R's think they can still win elections by standing behind Trump, they will.
They will only turn if enough voters turn. And hey, Fox news says its all good.

A tweet from Schindler this afternoon: “What if the real secret of the Trump campaign isn’t that it’s a Kremlin operation, rather an Israeli operation masquerading as a Russian one?”
Haveb't been able to look at any of the discussion or much else he has written today(work day for me), so not sure what that's about but when I read the tweet, my stomach dropped.

Whoever is behind it, the code name is “Operation: Rhymes With Chump.”
Farcical tragedy on an epic, yet simultaneously pathetic scale.

I got all excited when I read Donald was going to be deposed..
Then I found out that just meant he was going to have to answer questions under oath in his defamation case
Damn! I was hoping for a coup d’etat or something.
Oh well. At least we have the probability that the Donald will lie under oath, and he can’t grant himself immunity in state court.

Ok, but without context, I’m not sure why it’s a good idea to post it either here or there. I still know nothing about why drudge posted it: you haven’t told us or provided a link. All I see is a disturbing photo, and I don’t see much difference beween what drudge allegedly did and what you are doing now.

It is a horrible picture and irrelevant to the topic of this thread, why not just delete it and we can move on to bashing the 4th grader the Deplorables elected as US President?

how is your picture of dead bodies relevant to the thought process of Republican voters?
How does the DNC do the "same shit" and not get called on it?
can you be more specific, thanks

Lee Harvey Manafort made a last ditch effort to save his bacon by witness tampering
Manafort is stupid, insane, or both. Tampering with those two witnesses could not have saved him, at all.
He is facing many charges, ranging from money laundering, to tax fraud, to failing to register as a foreign lobbyist. The foreign lobbyist charge is what Manafort's witness tampering activity was related to, not the other charges. The foreign lobbyist charges are relatively minor, and often only result in a fine, or short jail sentence.
The witness tampering charges are serious felonies, with up to ten years for each count. Manafort traded a fine, and maybe some time, for 20 years in prison.
Shrewd.
The funniest part is that the two witnesses immediately contacted the FBI when Manafort suggested that they "remember" that no lobbying took place in the United States. Those two witnesses know that the Trump Show is going down, hard and fast, crying all the way, and they want to stay as far away as possible.

Don’t be silly. The Trump show is going down as soon as that Access Hollywood tape is released. Everyone knows that!

It is the under the presidency that the administration (including conservation and access) of some of the best climbing in the United States is possible. Considering that, it is appropriate to comment directly on Trump. Ryan Zincke will pull $ away from budget lines that historically maintain and preserve climbing areas and destinations. Zincke is one of President "Capone's" thugs, and he'll treat climbing areas thuggishly, and possibly climbers as well. In the case of the historical Capone, his people went away, in timely and untimely ways. In the current case of criminals in charge of not only Interior, but also Justice, etc., there won't be an opening for personnel changes until 2020. I hope those changes are not too late, and that President Pence isn't as whacky as his history to date indicates.
