All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Tero]

You could write for QAnon. See if they need trolls. I think you and I both qualify there, we can write short ideas in three lines well enough.

Yeah, Rich White Guy pays pretty well. Sweet gig. I applied, but never got the job.

1 out of 2 ain't bad lak, especially for a dope smoker in Florida.

I could complain, but Mrs. Lak would just tell me to shut up.

Essentially, all that has been decided is that there is currently no evidence of a direct link between the Trump campaign and the official Russian government. Fine.

Except that there is clear evidence that Russian organisations, with non-zero links to their corrupt and autocratic government were trying hard to influence the election in the direction of Trump. So, the US political machine has been corrupted by a foreign power. Fine.

And, large numbers of people involved in the Trump electoral campaign have committed a variety of illegal actions. Fine.

Not that we should get too excited by that. After all, people in charge of running election campaigns in current democratic systems for any party are by definition immoral sleaze balls, or they wouldn't have got the job in the first place...

Well, I don't expect most people to distinguish between the counterintelligence aspect of the investigation and the flashy headlines that have followed the collusion piece. After all, it's Russia being Russia, trying to get people into positions where they can suss out our secrets. I doubt we'll hear much about what Mueller found about that, but the indictments tell us they were up to their usual tricks, and our people were too inexperienced or corrupt to raise the alarm.

I'll be interested to see how much they can tell us lowly citizen types. Personally, I'd call Lindsey Graham's bluff on a special prosecutor for the Clinton email thing in exchange for maximum daylight for the Mueller report. But, that's why I'm an independent, neither party will have me.

February 2019, Jussie Smollett fakes his attempted lynching.

And, more -- there are no shortage of bullshit hate crimes.

The media champs at the bit to publish stories of alleged hate crimes. There is zero resistance. Look at the Smollett case - when that first broke, anyone who said something to the effect of "hey, wait a minute... I have some questions..." was vilified as a hater, and was told to believe the victim here -- and this just illustrated what we all know about "America in 2019" -- this is "America in 2019" on CNN in ominous tones -- we all know where it comes from, right -- it comes from Trump and the racist MAGA hat wearing folks....

All charges against Smollett dropped.

I await your apology to an innocent man...

Just when you think this week of Trump could not get more bizarre!

Innocent?

He forfeited a $100,000 bond and "already did community service" (no other info on that). Sound innocent to you? There were 16 counts in total, so "justice" in Chicago evidently costs $6250 per charge. Another example of gay, black, famous privilege.

Don't get the outcome you want, conspiracy! Seriously, Mueller's in on it now guys.

It's Dutchy, what do you expect. He thought the cold war was a conspiracy.

Ruining healthcare because it has Obama name in it! Also ruining Medicare in same court case:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/26/politics ... cnn.com%2F
It slowed the growth of Medicare payment rates to hospitals and other providers, reduced payments to Medicare Advantage plans and improved benefits for enrollees. The Obama administration estimated in 2016 that the typical Medicare beneficiary pays about $700 less in premiums and cost sharing thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
Another popular provision: Children are allowed to remain on their parents' plans until they turn 26.

Complete and total exoneration!
