The Campaign chairman, National Security Advisor and personal attorneys the President of the United States of America are all convicted or admitted felons.

Not to mention that the President himself has now been implicated in a felony by his former lawyer, under oath.

Where the fuck are at least a few GOP congressional members?

They need to be out in front protecting the justice dept and intelligence community from the abuse of power and attempts to erode our democracy that will be the inevitable blow-back.

But of course, they will do no such thing.  They have a possibly corrupt Supreme Court nominee to confirm.

Cohen knew something was up. Looking back, he knew the okey doke was on... knowing what we know it is clear he wasn’t just being an asshole.

Time to get Brennan a bigger microphone.

The first two trump endorsers in Congress, Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter Jr., are both under indictment and will have to face trial. Since no one in trumpworld is innocent of anything, they will also soon be convicted.

Brennan did his part. He was a patriot.

One if by land, two if by sea, three if by a corrupt Russian puppet in the White House.

However its way past time for the Republicans to speak up in outrage.

Snowball: hell.

It’s worth speaking to the 65% who do not agree that this country is headed in the right direction under trump.

His base is not to be catered to. It must be beaten.

Red's just upset, of the two men he admires most, one is a corrupt Russian puppet who has delivered budget destroying tax cuts for the wealthy while putting the health of million of vulnerable Americans at risk, and wants to unregulate America back to the Industrial revoltion, while the other is a highly regarded football coach who may get fired as an enabler for a wife-beater.

Go Buckeyes!

Cohen’s admission that the hush money that constituted 2 felony convictions, was done at the direction of a candidate for federal office, clearly implicates the President in those campaign violations. Essentially, Cohen, under oath, in a federal court, has alleged that the President of the United States conspired to violate federal law.

If he were not a sitting president this would constitute grounds for indictment on those charges. As a sitting president this constitutes, if Congress wishes to do so, impeachable offenses. But, as we know, impeachment is a political rather than a legal concept, and it would seem pretty clear that nothing will occur with the current Congress.

Luckiest motherfucker in the world today is Rep. Duncan Hunter, the second member of Congress to get on board with Trump, who along with his wife was indicted for campaign finance and wire fraud charges.

Meanwhile in WV the crowd at the rally chanted, “Lock Her Up!”

Vote for anyone who will caucus and align with Democrats and expose and oppose republicans. If that’s too complicated for you, just vote for the Democrat in every race and contest.

Just received a major back-pay check from the VA. Must have been a correction made of a flub. There seems to be a major improvement from the negative scandal ridden BHO days when many Vets died waiting for health services and compensation.

Yeah.  We saw this when you first posted it.

Trump takes credit for Obama and Shulkin’s work, campaigned off it, though he’s still in the first half of his first term, and is just getting around to removing ethical employees so his friends and members can start gutting the VA.

http://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/charlestiefer/2018/06/08/veterans-sustain-two-serious-defeats-from-trump-and-the-house-to-va-health-care/amp/

Remember what the last real president did for Veterans. This fake one has now loosed the rats and vultures that will kill and eat this vital institution.

I have been using VA facilities since the mid-nineties and they were never worse than under BHO. A era of complete cynical disrespect for the veteran ensued. Appeals usually took forever and there was no way to track progress. It has been streamlined and modernized since Trump took office. With Shinseki and Shulkin, two useless hacks, being forced out. Have to be careful though with trickle downers in power.

Trump and Fox will exploit the death of Ms. Tibbets for political purposes.

Sad.
