  1. Killa Watt - Ken Starr tapped Linda Tripp's phone to catch Bill Clinton cheating on his wife after finding nothing criminal. There is credible evidence of Trump committing major crimes. Rosenstein using a wire on Trump would be justified under the circumstances.

  2. Mr. "I claim executive privilege for everything" Trump wants to bitch about the FBI kicking ideas around in their meetings. Hypocrisy at its worst.

  3. The double talk is ridiculous - Trump said the asylum seekers are lying about conditions where they come from, saying they're "big, tough guys with Nikes and cell phones". Then, he said conditions in detention centers are "much better than where they came from". - In the same interview, Mike Pence said the conditions in detention centers were unacceptable. Then he said that media reports of bad conditions are false. - Pence also said it's why they needed Congress to appropriate $4.6 billion. Then, he said now was the time for Congress to act. Uh, they did. They appropriated $4.6 billion. And that was IN ADDITION to the emergency funding they already got. (Also, a portion of that $4.6 billion didn't go to the border at all. Senate Republicans wouldn't pass a stand-alone emergency bill). - The head of DHS directly contradicted a DHS REPORT that found conditions in detention centers to be "a ticking time bomb". - Trump says his policies are working to cut down on border crossings, then says there are even more crossings now.

  4. Pelosi and like-minded Dems are too focused on the next election. They want to run against an embattled, wounded Trump. They want to fight the devil they know. Pelosi saying she opposes impeachment now is bad strategy and bad timing. It's too close to the end of the Mueller probe, too close to the beginning of the House probes, and too far from the next election. Pelosi should have just said, "Let's wait for the facts". She's sick of cries of "Impeach him!" drowning out her agenda message. Tough shit. If they can't work their agenda and conduct oversight at the same time, they shouldn't be in office. It's premature to assume they won't get 20 Senators to go along with removing Trump. If Mueller or SDNY uncover slam-dunk evidence, the Republicans will have to support Trump's removal. Most likely, though, there won't be slam-dunk proof, but really strong proof. Then, the Republicans won't want him impeached. They'll want to oust him in a primary - for the same reason they defend him now - they want to hold on to power. Then, the Dems won't get to run against the wounded devil they know. Trump planted William Barr to water-down the Mueller report, which he will do with anything short of a smoking gun. Then, the choice for Republicans will be to primary or not. Then, the Dems will be running against a newly strengthened Trump or a new Republican who, compared to Trump, will look really good to swing voters. Either way, it puts Dems in a weakened position. It ISN'T time to impeach yet. But instead of raising the bar on impeachment, Dems should be lowering it. They should be saying, "He's inches away. We're seeing lots of evidence". That's because there IS lots of evidence, albeit circumstantial. Trump's people met with the Russians to trade dirt for sanction relief. Roger Stone bragged about communicating with the very hackers and disseminators of the DNC emails. 16 of Trump's people lied about over 100 Russian contacts. Trump's charity is being probed for what the NY AG called "a shocking pattern of illegality". He has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in an FEC violation that involved bank fraud. There's the inaugural committee, security clearance concerns, a pattern of obstruction, and MUCH more. Plus, he's an HABITUAL liar. If Dems had balls, they'd point those things out every chance they get. Then, the media would report those statements rather than reporting Pelosi's signal that Dems don't have the stomach for impeachment, and are more interested in elections than justice. "He's not worth it"?? He's too horrible to remove, and so bad that he's above the law?? She doesn't want to divide the already divided country? Congrats, Nancy. You divided your own party. There's something worse than a messy impeachment - leaving a crooked, lying, incompetent President in office until an election that's still almost two years away. And since Trump refuses to deal with the Russians, he will let them help him win that election again.

  6. For his pocket book? How did he make money "selling us out"? You are obviously clueless.

  7. Bruce McFadden - What about my comment even remotely suggests anything about picking a fight? I'm simply asking how Rosenstein is making money from this. You don't make any sense. And by the way, if you listened to what he was saying, you'd hear how it bodes well for Trump, you dimwit.

  8. Fucking Democrat lawmakers should NOT give Trump one thin dime for a fucking wall! I don't care if they give him TWICE as much for sensible border control, but NOT FOR A WALL. Let the government shut down. Yes, we should save DACA. Yes, some compromise is good. But that wall shit will come back and bite them in the ass. Do Dems want to get blamed for giving in? Do they want Republicans asking for more next year to finish it? Do they want to be blamed when fucko uses eminent domain to take peoples' houses? Screwing-up the environment? Letting Trump off the hook for saying Mexico would pay for it? Do they want to give Trump bragging rights? Shit, he probably won't be in office in 2020, or even six months from now. "Chuck and Nancy" need to grow some fucking balls!
