The Patriot prayer events are being portrayed as white supremacist. Interesting thing about that is the guy behind it is clearly not white.

From Article

Trump Blew A Gasket Because Mitch McConnell Won't Protect Him From The Russia Investigation

So tell me why is Trump demanding protection from an investigation that he has defeated?
Hell, he's talked such trash about McConnell - McConnel's probably praying they find something.

I don't like either McConnell or Trump, but Trump sure picks his battles unwisely. Does he get that he needs Republicans to help him pass his bills? Well, probably not. If his polls sink and everyone in Congress hates him, he's sure going to have a rough time getting anything accomplished. I think he's all of EOs.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/22/u...ell-trump.html

During the call, which Mr. Trump initiated on Aug. 9 from his New Jersey golf club, the president accused Mr. McConnell of bungling the health care issue. He was even more animated about what he intimated was the Senate leader’s refusal to protect him from investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to Republicans briefed on the conversation.
Trump's right. McConnell is not on his side.

True, he is on the side of the United States of America, McConnell does not work for trump. Just so ya know trump is on no ones side except his own, he may learn that in Politics that is one very bad stand to take.

The Russia story hasn't gone away. Mueller has the investigation all buttoned up. Gee, there are NO LEAKS in Mueller's office. Trump's administration is a sieve.

Does anybody remember how Trump said (during the campaign) that he "gets along with everybody"?

Gee, I guess he was lying like all politicians do...

Go ahead and insult some more people, Mr Donnie Two-Scoops with Little Hands and short fingers.

The only problem was, there really wasn't any truth to it. Sure, there were a few meetings here and there. But there was nothing ever proven that Trump or his people did anything illegal.


There was no evidence that anyone's vote was ever changed from Hillary to Trump.....as anyone with common sense could have told you.


So here we are, 7 months into Trump's presidency.


What will they think up next?

Only a fool would think it's gone away!

The Fake Stream media and the racist fascist Left (same thing) will get up every day with their life mission to attack Trump with the best tool at their disposal, after the ANTIFA fascists motivated a white supremacist to kill one of their pawns, this is their latest tool. If this goes away and they got nothing else, they will revert back to the Russian Salad Dressing Fake News story.

You know it...
And this will just give Mueller more evidence that Trump is involved in a continuing obstruction of justice effort. A conspiracy to subvert investigations on all fronts...

Maddow's show tonight covered language from the legal statute which goes beyond a criminal breach that creates an obstruction of justice effort but also can occur if-when someone attempts to suborn congressional hearings and investigations...

So Trump going after Comey and the FBI investigation of Flynn/Russia entanglements = criminal obstruction of justice
Trump going after McConnell = obstruction of the Senate's investigation because I imagine this was not the first phone call or conversation about that same issue...but maybe most heated...
And you could make a case that Nunez's efforts to throw flak and derail the Congressional investigation about Russian involvement came at the behest of Trump and his cabal... So another obstruction effort

At least three strikes...

Plus the Fusion papers after Fusion's founder's testimony today--9 hours of interviews
Plus the Russian hacker who is now in custody and apparently willing to give testimony--
just keep him safe from assassins...

The Russian story is not gone away, it's just not in the headlines because of so much other headlines. Gone away and not in the headlines are two different things, Mueller is still on the job working the investigation. I thought Trump supporters wanted it out of the headlines everyday, so you got what you wanted and still not satisfied. You are reminding everybody of it and putting it back in play with this thread.
