Yeah, Stalin is probably rolling over in his grave that he stuck with the "We're communist" schtick when he could have just come out and said "I'm a fascist dictator" and republicans would have been falling over themselves to suck his cock.

Trump fires the guy who heads said investigation.

Boy am i against the establishment now let me defend every pro-billionaire policy under the sun.

Watchin all these guys talk about the greatness of bernie then poo poo on everything he stood for because politics has become 'attitude' to them. For example, spunky literally said "trump is an attitude".

But that's what's funny, they're not an evil mastermind they're just marveling and watching the train wreck planning on doing whatever they want while everyone is preoccupied with us.

It's not that Trump is a literal Manchurian candidate with Putin in his ear dummies, that's just a joke! It's that he has tons of business ties there and there is a clear conflict of interest he refuses to act on and pretends doesn't exist.

Unless John Oliver can set up a url redirect that lets the audience prosecute Donald Trump for violating the emulsions clause I think y'all are barking up the wrong tree

Well there would be a certain document that would tell us if his company is breaking the emulsion clause, but according to Trump "nobody cares about that" so I guess we might as well take his word for it...

you don't need his taxes to know foreign governments are giving him money by staying in hotels or whatever. it will boil down to what a federal judge thinks aboutit. it is going to be an interesting case and i think SHOULD result in an amendment to the constitution making the executive declare like everyone else.
