Rather watch you gents squirm as Mueller closes in. Especially enjoy Rudy screwing up da leader with science fiction stories, wondering who's exactly dumber. Da leader or da mayor?

Why squirm? Mike Pence would be your worst nightmare

Under relatively normal circumstances (human species as president) I would agree. But desperate times call more desperate measures.

Difference between mainlining poison, and ONLY drinking poison.

You could be right.

The prospect of dragging Trump through the mud as the disgrace he is?
Priceless.

Justice should eventually be done.
Fallout for conservatives and the GOP would be devastating.

Speaking of mainlining and drinking poison. An alternative to sell-out Alan Dershowitz.

Lawrence Tribe describes removing that "poison"

State Department considered naming Russia a state sponsor of terror — but Trump administration dropped it

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/sta...ation-dropped/



The attempt to kill a former Russian spy in England bore an ominous signature: The assailants used a lethal nerve agent of a type developed in the Soviet Union, and British investigators quickly concluded that only the Kremlin could have carried out such a sophisticated hit.

Soon after the March attack, Rex Tillerson, then the U.S. secretary of state, ordered State Department officials to outline the case for designating Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law. Experts in the department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism began to assemble what they thought was a strong case.

But almost as quickly as the review began — within about two days — the secretary of state’s office sent new instructions to drop the initiative, according to State Department officials familiar with the episode.

“There are a lot of issues that we have to work on together with Russia,” a U.S. official said. “Designating them would interfere with our ability to do that.”

Jimmy Kimmel? Didn't he used to be a 3rd rate comedian on some 4th rate network? Or was it the other way around?

What's he doing now, political commentary for the Home Shopping Channel?

In order to correctly analyst "Sean Hannity And ‘Those Dummies On Fox & Friends" you need a "higher" intellectual informed standing than those 5th rate political pundits on a 10th rate fake news entertainment show.

Hannity is a right-wing fanboy. What is there to analyze? You are impressed by a left-wing fanboy "analyzing" a right-wing fanboy? A battle of wits between two unarmed opponents.

None of this really makes any sense, since Kimmel has a very popular show, and is a very popular host. They tend to ask people like that to host things like the Emmys and Oscars, which Kimmel has done multiple times in the last few years.

So to suggest that he's marginal in the entertainment business is pretty silly.

He damn well gave it his best... banked on Hillary to drive the final nails. But the silent majority put a stop to that with Trump. And in a years time President Trump as made great strides in right direction.

And Hillary won the popular vote.

None of the above gives any credibility to the grasp of political reality of either of them.
