But let's pretend for a moment they didn't.


So? Ignorance is no excuse. Judges don't throw out sentencing because someone didn't know a crime was a crime.

And if you run for president or help in the campaign and don't know, that's your problem.

At least now there is public confirmation.

Mueller is going to reveal a rats nest. It will take time but the results will probably shake our country to the core.

What's great is the pules can no longer pretend it is a which hunt. They will try of course but this is going to be very hard to choke down.

The day this meeting took place he was tweeting about Hillary's emails. He knew exactly what his son was doing.

trump, his family, his henchmen, his supporters, from Senate and House down to dogcatcher and that drunk at the end of the bar, to talk blather radio and tv, they are systematically destroying America's leadership role in the world. All of the other countries are going to work together to promote their best interests and we need to be part of their choices and actions. I am not idealistic enough to think that the USA is 100% pure and clean. But I have lived my whole life with the idea that the USA is much, much better than any commie country (yes, I know, fascist) and as the world wanders toward some sort of world government, I always thought the U.S. would have the leadership role. Now, thanks to trump and his traitors, I think we've lost that spot. I think trump gave it to putin this weekend, and all of the other leaders saw it happen. Right now, with trump and his traitors in power, we don't have the best American values to take to a leadership position. With trump in putin's hands, we have the values Russia has. And so I hope, that as all of the countries we share this planet with continue on a path that was being carved as we walked it, I hope that France, or Canada, England, Australia, Germany or Uruguay will assume the mantle of leadership. Until the U.S. comes to its senses. Government doesn't have to lead to oppression. And who in their right mind thinks oppression leads to personal freedom? But the short-sighted people who voted for trump, who continue to think that our country is on the right path, are going to lose their freedom to be the boss of the weaker, are going to lose the freedom to be the boss of themselves. They have to see the treason, they have to see what our country lost this weekend, before they rise up against it. Not a single bit of proof will convince them. Not unless they see that not only did trump give away America's place as a world leader, he gave away their best interests.

These McCarthy loving, patriot pledging, God fearing, and just good old folk have somehow decided that Putin is a hero in all this, that Russia, the Kremlin, the KGB, are the victims of our "Enemy of the People" press and Nancy Pelosi.
