What, exactly, makes it such a big deal now? Because it's the only thing they have left to try and take down Trump?

Hollywood Access tape didn't work. Him being "unpresidential" didn't work. One million Republican rivals in the primaries didn't work. Hillary didn't work.

Shit, what do we have left? I know...let's create the Russian boogeyman...maybe that will work...it's worth a shot Pete!
None of what you say has anything to do with the fact that the President of the United States traveled to a foreign country, told our intelligence agencies to get bent, then proceeded to bend over to a Russian despot and blame America for our part in the state of relations.

If we all think that the Russians tried to influence the election, and that they have been doing so for as long as there has been an internet...then, why is Trump so persistent in his denial that this "interference" took place? Why would he even MENTION the "strength" of Putin's denial on the matter? Was he expecting Putin to confess to Russia's involvement in our election?

Must be true. Those Alpha Males have a bond that doesn't let them lie to one another. And I'm sure that Trump assured Putin that from the cold war on, the US has never tried to influence the government or citizens of Russia.

Gus, Gus, Gus.....You know how this plays out.

THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY EXPERT POKER

"Trump just “called” Putin, Mueller and the US intelligence agencies regarding
Russia. This hand he played in Helsinki forces Russia to claim no wrong doing. Now he can say he put peace first above right and wrong up to this point. If the following goes against Putin’s claim we reaffirm our harsh stance against Russia with little to no collateral damage.

He forces Mueller’s investigation to show their hand. The investigation will now receive more pressure from the DEMS/MSM.

He forces the US intelligence agencies to show their hand. More pressure from the DEMS/MSM.

The discussions in the MSM will go on for far too long for someone to not show their hand first and then the show will begin."

"EXPERT POKER"? I wouldn't stake Trump in a PENNY-ANTE poker game.

The man has obviously lost his mind...and even his most loyal followers will run out of excuses this time around.

Trump had the game won before he ever ventured into the Deep State Swamp....You think he'd risk everything for this kind of nightmare scenario?

Be patient, it will all play itself out shortly.

Marshall obviously never got PA's memo about instilling more "niceness" to this board.

I barely have time to post here on top of everything else I'm doing today.

Won't someone please post some actual transcript or video of these offending comments...these high crimes and misdemeanors (as I read some politician put it).

It must really be something. I can't wait to slaughter Trump over this...It will make ely's day.

Can I make you a moderator of off-topic? I'm actually dead-serious.

Don't you think my political leaning might have an undesired effect in this regard?

Oh gosh, I'm so stupid...I never thought about that.

WHAT?

But if you're serious...let me ask you a serious question. Do you see me deleting or banning posts or posters who hold opposite political views from my own?

No, you don't. So why ask that question?

I give you the power to delete. That way, when you see someone not being nice, you can delete their post...or edit it...or give them a penalty...if they get enough penalties, they will be suspended for a few days...stuff like that.

If you don't want it, just say so.

Of course I want it. But, in the name of "fairness", why don't we wait until the end of the day...in case people voice disagreements with my "promotion".
