Bad things are brewing and Trump is prepping an escape plan.

If things go bad while on his "foreign relations trip" (wink, wink) he is going to abscond with AF One. There was a note here about how Trump had changed the crew, coincidence? I think not.

Most of the family is going to be with him. Mook #1 and Mook #2 will sneak Baron out of the country.

Off to sanctuary in Russia and leaving all the Trump leg humpers in lurch. Poor things.

Taking off tinfoil beanie.

Flynn. Manafort. Stone. Page. Lots of choices.

Have to believe someone somewhere will have the answer in a couple days.

Really? Some guy in sloppy clothes who drives a rusted out AMC Javelin? That can't be right. It must be some other Claude Taylor.

He's just some guy who worked as a volunteer coordinator for the Clinton administration. No other credentials I can find anywhere. I cannot imagine why anyone believes anything he posts. He's been wrong numerous times in the past. He's wrong again today. That court building is open today.

And Louise Mensch? Who the heck is she? This all has the look of people trying to play a fun game to me. I predict we'll all be laughing soon at them.

For pity's sake. Are we that desperate for stuff we want to hear?

Ad hominems? Unless they're directed at you, never mind. I'm calling some people who appear to be pretending to be something they're not out on those claims. That's not an ad hominem, it's a criticism.

I believe I'll stick around and write as I please.

I dislike it when other people tell me how I should be thinking, especially when attempting to push judging someone by one's looks alone. I prefer to use my education and my brain to come to conclusions.

So far, seems that what I've read posted by this man has turned out to be true.

Nobody has answered it. Who is this guy and why are people listening to him?

Actually, he's gotten a number of things wrong in the past. You can Google him.

and then answered it yourself. Since that seems to be your gig, why don't you go "google" yourself?

I have no problem with people reading his tweets but I don't like to see people get scammed out of their money.

a private citizen who knows people with inside information. Period, full stop.
Make of it what you will.
Ad hominem attacks against him are yawn-inducing.

here is a thread that might provide some guidance on how to read him and other sources:
