What I believe is that the real reason for all of Trump's bizarre behavior about that "Trump Tower Meeting" is that he has been protecting Don Jr. and Jared Kushner. The boom is going to fall shortly on the two of them and I expect to see a criminal indictment in under three months. Once that happens, our President is going to panic and I hope this country is prepared for the even more bizarre and more crazy tweets that will be coming at us all day long.

.
If Cohen ties Donnie Divot to the TT Meeting successfully, he will not be able to pardon Donnie Diaper and Jared the Hopeless, if I am not mistaken, since he is involved in the crime. Maybe one of the resident attorneys here can expound on that a bit.

And bolstered by victory. The first of many to come.

He will wait until just before he leaves office. Then the political backlash won't matter, and he will still be able to thumb his nose at the law like a spoiled child.

Who would waste their energy "hating" the cultists? I use the word "cult" because I can't think of anything else that accurately describes the blind adulation of the hardliners to someone like Donald Trump. A lot of parallels between the way a cult leader like Jim Jones or David Koresh mesmerized their followers and the way that Donald Trump holds his base in thrall.

You honestly can’t see why anyone supports the president? Do you not pay attention to any economic news or data? Do you not support cracking down on drug makers or making better trade deals for our country? We are human beings supporting real policies we agree with. You disagree but that doesn’t make us cultists.

I don't care if the stock market hits 50,000. It doesn't make the current President any less than a crook.

Hitler did good things for the German economy before he started World War II.

Then you are aware the the economic boom commenced on Obana's watch, including the stick marker raising to near record highs on his watch. Trump deserves credit for not derailing the boom yet, but absolutely not for starting it.
