News that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer described as having potentially damaging information on Hillary Clinton during last year’s presidential campaign dims the U.S. economic outlook, according to Dan Ivascyn, chief investment officer at Pacific Investment Management Co.

So we have unassailable evidence that Junior wanted Russian state help, and everyone's talking about whether Trump was in on it or not, but how far are they in proving that help actually happened? Or, how necessary is that compared to knowing that they wanted it?

All Hail Lord President Trump the Unstumpable

T minus 20 minutes until we lay Lyin' Ted Cruz to rest.

Your 2016 GOP Presidential Nominee ladies and gentlemen, DONALD J. TRUMP

The doubters were many, but now they will be silenced.

A great victory for AMERICA, and now it is time to turn our sights toward the one even more corrupt, vile, and immoral than Cruz - Hillary Clinton.

OUR BLOODLUST WILL NOT BE SATIATED UNTIL EVERY LAST VESTIGE OF POWER IN THE MODERN POLITICAL SYSTEM FALLS PROSTRATE BEFORE TRUMP

eh, I'm pretty down on colleges too. The money would be better used funneled into k-12 education instead of saddling the working class with ridiculous levels of debt for highly questionable value. The standards are too low and the benefit too small for the current system to make any sense.



We're spending enough on k-12. There's something else wrong with education.

Oiled and Ready posted:

Why do we need to oppose Russian interests except in the cases where we are opposing them simply by strengthening our own countervailing interests?

Here, I'll give an example of when our interests do not necessarily come into conflict. In 2016, Iran started selling their oil in Euros, including the poo poo-ton they were owed by India because we had frozen their related accounts for so long. That switch to the Euro is not good for us or[/i for Russia. Though it is surely worse for Russia in the immediate term, oil in that region is almost exclusively priced and sold in USD; the corresponding treasury bonds and such are pretty important factors when it comes to the unrivaled stability of our currency.

For the Crimea, the USSR gave that parcel to the Ukraine in like 1950 as a gift. More broadly, Ukraine isn't in NATO, and as a result I really don't give a poo poo that Russia took that little bit of land back. Everything I read about Ukraine just makes me hate every side of the constant squabbling there even more.

As far as actual Hitlerian land grabs are concerned, Russia will always have a hard line against expansion at the NATO country borders. Personally, I think Mattis and/or the core of our high command would automatically leap to the defense a member state regardless of what Trump was yelling and tweeting about over the sirens. If he wishes to somehow withdraw us from NATO, I think Article 13 contains a loophole that would allow the USA to withdraw without warning beginning one year after his inauguration, but a surprise withdrawal based on a loophole would pretty much have to immediately presage WW3.

There is only one sure way to ensure that when we get a less Russophilic president in the future, we still remain on decent terms - mutually assured (financial) destruction. My recommendation is we do something dumb in the Middle East together as soon as possible, then split costs and spoils of redeveloping whatever area we bomb to pieces together.

I'd take him over Trump in a heartbeat, I'd just worry about the chance he embraced the modern Evangelical movement in which case all his good traits would be burned away like paper under a blowtorch
