Some Friday Fun

Eventually, the truth always outs. And eventually, the truth about what’s really been going on in the GOP will be exposed.

What are you most looking forward to knowing when it’s eventually revealed?

My personal pick: The kompramat that got Lindsey Graham to do a 180 on Trump.

It must have been something very precise, and politically devastating – given that Graham went from “he’s a kook who will destroy our party” to “best president evah!” during the course of a golf game.

I’m sure it’s going to be explosive – and I really want to see this little worm squirm. I want to watch him stutter-and-sputter as the media surrounds him with cameras and mics, muttering ”no comment” as they batter him with questions about the revelations that just hit the headlines.

Your pick?

Trump "won" and took office, that's all that happened.

Graham does not have political principles. Half of the "never Trumpers" have bent the knee. Graham would be on his way to losing his primary if he had not.

as long as Lindsay does enough public posterior osculation.

Have to give it to Graham though—no public scandal for years "for the bro with no ho", unlike that Foley character of a few years back.

Something happened with Graham. He found out the kompromat they have on him and it's scared him shitless. It not only something completely disgusting, it's also something he could go to jail for. I can't wait either, Nance!

I say, from the top down. First, a mental evaluation for tRump, then a lie-detector test for Pence and Pompeo. Expose how much taxpayers have been scammed for protecting the vile "first" (first in scandals and corruption) family. Have them pay back what they have illegally taken. Kushner and family too, with all the cash from the ME. For someone who could not pass a security clearance test, he has certainly attained the highest position. Newt, Chris Christie, Santorum, all the failed politicians, who spew their version of "normal" on TV. I want to see them DESTROYED. Maybe we should start getting rid of the traitors who are destroying this country from the inside out?They all have (R) behind their names. Expose Faux for the propaganda channel it is, get rid of Hannity. Did he ever undergo that waterboarding he claimed he would take? Dumb question, of course he didn't.

There's a business side to Wall Street, there's a financial side to Wall Street, but there's also a cutthroat capitalist side that supports one another over generations and will tolerate no bridle on the environmental damage it causes.

Oh, and we might also add the role of suburban New York - Brooklyn and Forest Hills Queens. Because it seems to me, or I think it a coincidence worthy of scrutiny, that every tentacle of Trump passes through the area at one point or another over many decades. It's where a lot of wealth concentrated, lived, grew.

is bank loans. Trump's businesses would completely collapse if Putin would call in those loans from Alfa Bank (and Putin has the authority to do it). Forget about urine-stained mattresses. Money is at the root of it all. Remember that Putin is the richest man in Russia, and secretly probably top 10 in the world, thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union and him taking control of all the industries and siphoning off 10-20% when they were sold to the oligarchs.

Trump first, then Barr, then the family members including those who may have been used to embezzle our money into trumps pockets, then Graham and other republicans that were co-conspirators and also accepted putin and others funneled money into their campaigns and pockets , especially if Ted cruz did. Rudy,Pompeo, Ross, Jared, Manuckin and Sessions , to start with , and Pence. Nunes is already in trouble and will be going away in due time. It'll be a lot of them that will all get exposed , and they all will be. Moscow Mitch and his wife will be gladly celebrated when they get whats coming to them, and MM if he dismisses the trial will be exposing himself even more for the cover up for putin and trump. Like you Nance its only a matter of time and the truth will expose them all . I also think there is a bigger plan we don't know about yet to bring them all down with soon. They'll be uncovering all of trumps and his family's crimes for decades.
