Annnnnnnnd Pecker, National Inquirer CEO and Trump friend has been granted immunity by the Feds...and thus someone who now can back up Cohens version of events...this is really big.

And can we talk about Trump in that Fox interview essentially admitting to campaign fraud while trying to explain how he didn't do it....because he simply doesn't UNDERSTAND how campaign fraud works? LMAO What a fucking nut bar. You can't make this shit up. Every time he goes on TV he digs himself deeper.

I have no strong faith that DT will ever serve a day in prison, though he deserves to, but it does make me curious how that would work for Secret Service.

Dang, looks like a losing, pie in the sky, don't even bother issue:

Until it is voted on in Congress, it is pie in the sky. You can bother with the issue, press the fact that it is the western norm and not the outlier, explain the economics, etc. Good. I want it to happen. Don't be passive aggressive. This has polled popularly for a long time. Change the wording to "socialized healthcare" and watch those stats change dramatically. Wording in polls is very, very important, as every political scientist is taught.

Edit: Another example "Obamacare" polls wholly different than the Affordable Care Act. And if there is one thing Republicans do very, very well it is brand names.

Wait, you think after he's president (whenever that is) that he's still safe? Dude. No. He's going to have MAJOR legal problems when he becomes a private citizen again, with all the skeletons that are and probably will come out of the closet. Even if you can't indict a sitting president (which is ludicrous BTW), you can certainly indict one afterwards.

QT. He's rich, white and male and he lives in America. I doubt there'll be any consequences really.

Sigh. You're probably right. That sucks man.

[HoosierDaddy]

So was Manafort. Put them on trial and watch regular people do their civic duty that these people do not.

Holy shit. Alan Weisselberg Flipped for immunity...that's HUGE. This guy has been with Trump forever (worked for his father I believe) and knows everything about him and the money. Literally the highest guy up in the Trump Org that isn't a Trump. He's the godsdamned CFO FFS!

I mean to flip him they must have had something significant...which means he'd have to give up something even MORE significant. Sweet gods, this week is insane.

Watch ALL the rats leave the ship now...if the CFO turning for the Feds ins't the signal they need that shit is about to get real...

So, which one of Trumps children do you think gets immunity first in exchange for ratting out their father?

I imagine Milania would do it for 5 dollars.

[Tiste Simeon]

Melania got her family into the country now. She'd probably do it for the chance to be the one to tell him...

[worry]

I'm not saying affirmatively he won't face consequences, only that I wouldn't make a large bet on it. I hope he does. The news continues to be encouraging in some ways, but we also know Manafort's 10 mistrials were due to one stubborn MAGA holdout. I suppose a lot depends on if DJT makes it to 2020. If he does, and his opponent is like Liz Warren or something, I'll have hope. If it's another HRC-wing establishment Dem -- even if they win -- I have no hope that DJT won't be let off the hook in the name of peace or moving on or whatever. Call em Gerald Ford Dems. Remember this godforsaken nonsense? My link

Empanneling that would be a nightmare. Voir Dire would last days.

[Malankazooie]

All these scumbags need to be forced to stand in front of one of those 3 way vanity mirrors and asked to find their spines. Damn we need a sweeping change to bring in fresh thinkers with new ideas and perspectives.

[HoosierDaddy]

God speed Mr. McCain. Go and rest.

[Tiste Simeon]

And the flag has gone back up to full mast, and the White House has refused to give a statement about it.

Real classy.

[Aptorian]

There's reports/rumors now that Manafort was trying to get a deal with the Mueller team but negotiations broke down. And now that he was found guilty he might be more willing to negotiate.

So there goes the notion of the faithful friend of Trump.

The question is why the negotiations broke down.

[Cause]

Trump is now claiming the google search results are rigged. He says the media is the enemy of the people. He just told supporters their will be violence if he loses so you better vote for him.

I am contemplating leaving SA to get away from this crap! not to find it.

Following the south African model he will soon launch an investigation to determine if the opposition parties are not in fact the ones who are really colluding with foreign powers. Luckily since he is so obviously pro big business he cant really play the US vs the capital elite card very strongly.
