New York's Case Against Trump May Be Prophetic

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

Why prophetic? Because it’s likely a preface to the report or complaint that special counsel Robert Mueller will bring. The alleged crimes described by Underwood are not similar to those being investigated by Mueller. But the behavior is.

One stumbling block to public understanding of the Mueller probe, in addition to a steady stream of propaganda and lies designed to undermine it, is that it’s hard for even a cynic to accept the premises of what is being investigated.

U.S. history simply doesn’t offer a lot of reference points for a major-party political candidate who so casually subverts the law and sells out the nation’s highest values. How many Richard Nixons are there?

To believe the accusations that Trump colluded with Russia, laundered vast amounts of money and/or put American foreign policy on the auction block in return for the enrichment of his family requires an awkward leap of faith. You have to believe this leader is both profoundly corrupt -- far more so than Nixon -- and staggeringly sloppy -- again more so than Nixon.

I believe this article to be a sound analysis.

1. WHY on earth would that be hard to believe?!

Spanky has been doing that his entire life! He is in cahoots with Russia and protests WAY too much. I'm not only not cynical about the level of his sliminess,I'm firmly convinced of it. Seriously, the only people who.wouldnt give these allegations credence are stupid people or people who just aren't paying any attention.

2. Or people living in bubbles and that's pretty much everybody.

It's one thing to believe something on an intellectual level and quite another to absorb the lesson or message from an emotional point of view outside of your bubble or comfort zone.

8. I, for one, still find it hard to believe. I believe it, but it challenges my own sanity to imagine

someone could be that corrupt, greedy, and disloyal. Anyone who finds it easy to believe must have taken cynicism to a new level.

11. I can certainly believe there are plenty of corrupt, greedy, disloyal people.

What disturbs me is that 35% of our population considers those to be positive traits.

10. I agree with you.

3. Good article from Bloomberg. Thanks for the posting, Uncle Joe. n/t

5. Yes the article is well worth reading, if was difficult for me to

choose only four paragraphs.


Thank you Judi Lynn

6. Nixon was no where as corrupt as the orange one.

He was a tower of ethics compared to this one.

7. Right. Amazing, isn't it?

9. Trump is a genius when it comes to corruption.

Not so much of a genius for covering it up, though, and for that we are grateful. Just think where we'd be if Trump had been smart about his corruption.
