Trump is going to go down. I think it’s going to happen quickly. I could be wrong. Maybe the Republicans will save him. But I think the sheer weight of all the criminal activities that he’s involved in is going to finally be too much even for the most determined Trumper. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a lot more to come. I just don’t see how he can continue like this. Now that Novartis and AT&T and who knows who else have been implicated in buying access and helping to pay off porn stars, he’s going to have to resign. Those two companies alone wrote checks for $600,000.00 combined. What did that get them? Elimination of Net Neutrality? A guarantee that the VA wouldn’t get too much of a break on pharmaceuticals?
And don’t forget that both Cohen and Broidy were on the Republican party’s campaign committee. So the whole party could be implicated. What does Devin Nunes want to hide for his buddies in the house?
It’s massive. It’s messy. It’s mortifying in some respects. It’s really hard to comprehend how someone so corrupt and compromised could end up president after getting just enough electoral college votes to edge out the most qualified presidential candidate we have ever had. She is a Girl Scout in comparison.
The whole country should look into its collective soul and make a earnest effort to understand it and let it never happen again. Trump ended an agreement with Iran today that makes the mullahs look sympathetic. He and Congress are planning to strip children of health insurance funds in order to cover the massive hole in the budget caused by those tax cuts. Health insurance companies are going to hike their premiums for Obamacare policies by something like 63% in some states. It’s all coming apart. He isn’t going to oust the swamp monsters. He is the biggest swamp monster of them all. And I suspect the monsters are all going to turn on their own.
Get used to the idea of President Pence. It’s only for two years.

The Confluence 
Understanding it is brutally simple, RD.
Too many of our fellow non-elite white Amurkans are mucking forons who will always choose DuBois’s “psychological wages of whiteness” (and maleness) over the material wages of social democracy, of the kind that our wiser fellow palefaces in the Nordic countries have.
To misquote Mencken, democracy is the theory that Mean and Stupid White Folks know what they want–and deserve to get it, good and hard.
The problem with that, of course, is that those of us who deserve better also get what the Mean and Stupid White Folks deserve.
Never gets old…
Also never gets old.
Cr@wd@d repellent:
Alice Margatroid seems to be losing control over her dolls.
Something Joyce Vance said on Maddow — how did Avenatti get all this info and if it was deliberately leaked to him? Really, how did the Stormy thing start (I forget) and from where, why or how did Avenatti emerge? But all that sure has led to Cohen and he is the key to the swampland.
Public corruption charges against the buffoon based on AT&T and Novartis — Frank Figliuzzi.
Not even Russia related but if you include that 500k from the Oligarch…all bets are off.
I think Avenatti is plan B for Mueller.
(‘you can’t fire a lawsuit’ — bonus points if you figure out who said that)
Oh, forgot to add, may the Goddesses protect him from #metoo, until at least we deal with trump, the prime offender.
Should add, IF Avenatti has any skeletons and I hope he does not for country’s sake.
Paging NYT and the media! Do your fucking job.
Check this.
What % cut did trump get from all the money funnelled to Cohen and his LLC?
Me too!
RD, I have to disagree. Trump is never going to resign. The grift is too good. The GOP is going to have to completely turn on him which I don’t see happening simply because they are all neck deep in the treason with Trump. Pence is also neck deep in the Russian stuff. Remember he was running the transition. I don’t know how this is all going to end but I do know it is not going to be pretty. The treason weasels are all going to be exposed.
