    hilarious coming from you and the rest who are trying to turn nothing into something. you're the acrobat friend, a terrible one at that.

    keep chasing your own tail (Russia), i'm sure it will work out for ya'll. that's obviously much better than wasting time fixing the corrupt, broken, democratic party. great strategy, I think it will pay off.

    Why not say you met with the Ruskie when asked about about it? Seems like the optics surrounding meeting a Russian during a RNC event would be bad.

    Don't forget and lied to congress about it.

    Oh wait, that only matters if it's a democrat. Republicans can do whatever they want.

    You continue to get it wrong. Just like Clinton's impeachment was not about the BJ, this is not about the spying, it's about the misleading. "I did not have communications with the Russians." Umm, yeah, you did. He can spin it as "I meant about the campaign..."- and that's fine. I don't think he needs to step down- but he needs to recuse himself, which he did.

    Story over. Both sides get outraged about stuff their own side does. It's just that now, President Trump is President. So, you have to deal with what we did for 8 years. We had Jeremiah Wright, and Bill Ayres, and Tony Rezko, and "clinging to guns and religion," and "58 states," and special olympics, and cops acted stupid, and gun running to Mexico, etc. coming out our ears for 8 years.

    Enjoy.

    Please. Trump didn't even win the popular vote. He barely squeaked by in several states that ultimately gave him the win. This is not a situation in which all Republicans and independents support Trump and all Democrats hate him. He has low approval ratings for a reason. I don't doubt he won fair and square based on the rules established, but I seriously doubt he wins reelection in 4 years. He's too polarizing, and eventually even independents are going to get tired of his schtick. Not to mention that the UE is bound to go up a bit- I hope it doesn't, but I don't see it going lower than 4.8, and Trump will get blamed for that, fair or not. Just like Obama was blamed for the rise in 2009.

    Anything can happen, and he can certainly win reelection.

    But he probably won't.

    Many people are too involved in it. Or, they're as involved as they want to be, I guess. I don't think he was completely upfront, but he's going to say, "this is what I meant..." and so fine. Some Democrats have to stop yelling Resign and Impeachment over every incident. You become the Boy Who Cried Wolf.

    He should have recused himself from this matter earlier, anyway. Just appoint an independent investigator and let's move on to other matters.

    We need to start focusing on the things that really matter, like this:

    In the first known brothel of its kind, a Barcelona establishment is offering erotic sessions with sex dolls only.

    Clients of the “agency” will have to pony up $127 an hour for a sex session with one of four big-breasted Lumi Dolls: blond Kati, Asian-featured Lili, dark-skinned Leiza and anime model Aki, who wears her blue hair in ponytails.

    Trump is like this annoying uncle of mine. He's my President, and I wish him well as I would for anyone in a political position that could help our country, but like my uncle, he needs to stop screwing up on some of these things.

    Uncle Trump.

    It wasn't a threat. But openly voicing one nation's opinion about other nation's policies is completely business as usual nor is it interfering in their election. But your little drama episode about the fate of an entire continent was a nice tough.

    Committing espionage trying to subvert another nation's election isn't business as usual. Let's hope you can tell the difference.

    This is kind a sad part of the story, not reported by the MSM.
