Not really interested. Thankfully, we have some hardy souls who keep us apprised of the propaganda network around here. God knows I can't go there.

“Mom ‘split like a banana’ after horror jet ski accident.”

If all else fails, fall back on: if it bleeds, it leads. Film at Eleven.

Decades ago, I got a clandestine copy of a network’s Christmas party tape, which featured various shocking (by the standards of that era) video clips from local and network news feeds, set to the time of Don Henley’s song, “Dirty Laundry.”

Between that insider’s peek, and the film adaptation of Paddy Chayefsky’s “Network”, almost nothing that spews forth from Faux Gnus surprises me.

Sad, but true!

I've gone back and forth over this, but I'm 95% sure, at this point, that Mueller is going to indict a sitting President.

That's why the Supreme Court situation is so critical for the traitors. It's their get-out-of-jail-free card.

...that a sitting president can't be indicted, that only lasts until he leaves office.

Plus, with Clinton it would have been an indictment for something he did while in office. trump's crime was committed before he was elected.

to anyone with a brain - meaning everyone but his feces-flinging, hate-filled moron zealot worshipers - that Dump really is completely owned by Pooty. No one in his or her right mind would immediately go meet with Pooty immediately on the heels of this news. No one.

I bet Pooty is laughing his ass off at all of this. Even when it's obviously political suicide, Dump still comes running to kiss the ring.

He must be guilty - that's the only logical explanation.

what it actually is that they have on him to make him commit treason publicly, which IMO he has done. What is it? I honestly don't think he'd care that much about a peepee tape. He'd just call that fake news and his idiot supporters would, as always, believe him.

Does he owe them a ton of money? Russian mobsters tend to be a bit aggressive when collecting on bad debts. That could be a reason.

Is it some other revelation that would harm him? If so, what could it possibly be? I don't think he'd care that much about underage rape either. Once again, his worshipers would dismiss that and even the so-called "Christian" fundies would just give him another mulligan.

I think we're inching closer to something so expansive, so explosive and so earth-shattering that people on all levels of government are going to be wearing orange jumpsuits soon.

him to take over the world. Trump wants power so much, he doesn't care who he destroys in the process. He absolutely doesn't care about our country, except that he wants to own it. Plus, he wants to punish anyone who has spoken ill of him, shut down the free press so all he hears is praise about him, and he wants a military parade where all bow to him.

No doubt the WH told House Republicans about the indictments coming down today so they preemptively ramped up their bullshit propaganda campaign and attacks on Strzok and the Mueller investigation yesterday.

about no evidence indicating election results were affected. I don't expect them to tell us, even if they KNEW they were (and there is NO WAY the Russians hacked all those election sites & voter info -the ones we know about - without getting some results and having an effect).

And just HOW would you even know if the results were affected? Really...I can't imagine that there is a way to know that, one way or the other.
