However, until we get campaign finance reform we have to deal with the reality that the trash in the Whitehouse has never stopped campaigning. It seems politically foolhardy to give him an undefended goal to shoot at when we need goalkeepers that individually resonate. That cannot be done by journalism or by committee.

is fully aware of what they are capable of doing to his family. So does Mueller, who certainly knows the vital link to the conspiracy if Cohen was indeed in Prague. It is possible Mueller is protecting Cohen without alerting his prime targets. Some random thoughts here.

the white supremacists who seek racial and political purity. Any downturn in the economy will only magnify the situation where these white militants see themselves as not personally achieving economic parity, and so ignorantly blame immigrants and PoC.

Also, as one astute member here has reminded me, the fraud leader has likely lost the respect of our military by his actions and behavior.

Turmoil is one of the unstated goals of attacking Western democracies in the Kremlin’s quest for geopolitical domination. The answer may be found if she lives a long life.

are complicit in every damning paragraph in the article. Sadly this will continue until they are threatened with a wipeout at the polls. Their miscalculation is that they have failed to realize that the Russian investigation daily continues to impress on voters the patriotic value of a long memory.
