Trump's tweet diarrhea today reminds me of Trey Gowdy's comment that he should stop acting guilty all the time. Trump should have taken the advice. As is, it sure looks like Trump thinks Mueller has the goods on him and is just laying a predicate attack him once it is released.
Fifty-one percent of respondents in the Quinnipiac University survey released on Tuesday said they believe the Russian government has compromising information on Trump
Disturbing stuff. Nothing to see here, right Trumpers?
Meanwhile, Mnuchin and Trump are considering pulling the sanctions on Rusal, Russia's largest aluminum company, owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Vladimir Putin's very close friend. Deripaska has been accused of money laundering, bribery, racketeering, extortion, and linked to the murder of a business rival with many ties to organized crime, including a $60M relationship with Paul Manafort.

Giuliani now claiming he's not sure collusion is a crime. What happened to the whole "no collusion" mantra? Guess we've reach the next stage of the ever-retreating defense. Next stage will be, "Wasn't a side of Putin preferable to a main course of Hillary?"
Giuliani: ‘Collusion is not a crime’
Those who blindly defend Trump, no matter what. Who will support him even in the face of evidence of collusion, conspiracy, and obstruction. Just to stick it to the other guy.
Well it's a good thing Mueller is not investigating "collusion".
This I agree with , I don’t think there is a “ collusion” case . He is going to spend 20-25 million dollars of our money to hand Manafort for money laundering and whatever else he can find , then he will put together a weak case for obstruction of justice on trump , he will use a paper trail to build the case until there’s enough “ probable cause” then write a summation saying in his opinion even though there’s not hard evidence against him he thinks he commited obstruction and we will be right back to square one , one side claiming he did the other claiming BS . If the Dems get the house then impeachment will start based on his findings , if they don’t we will have blown a ton of tax payer money for Nada.
If this happens.. it could get really ugly in this country.
First ... you do realize he is the duly elected president , I can’t figure out why if the people that voted for him because they wanted change in America ( and are getting change ) are still standing by and supporting him that makes them a cult . Do you know any cult members so you can use them as a reference ? This is the biggest problem I think we have . I don’t think the never trumpers are in a cult , I don’t believe the Hillary supporters are satinsts , I don’t even think the Bernie Bros are bad , people just have differences of opinions . Calling half the country cultists won’t do anything but piss us off and make sure we get out to vote in the mid terms and in 2020. It’s a self defeating platform and it amazes me that people that hate trump don’t see it . What happened when Hillary called trump supporters deplorable ? They went and voted because it pissed them off . Grouping large numbers of people together like that in say a “ cult “ when we know we aren’t doesnt make us back down and shame us it encourages people to keep voting the same way to keep out the side that’s doing it.
The only "duly elected president" in which foreign governments were proven 100% to have hacked polling information, aided in propoganda, resulted in thousands of suddenly "purged" voters, and all in an election where the "winner" lost the popular vote by millions and won the three most important states by less than a few thousand in each? That "President?"
But if you cannot understand why Trumpers are a cult, its because they blindly defend him in every way. Standing beside someone is not the same as saying "The media is lying, the FBI is the deep state, Hillary and Pizzagate, etc." there are plenty of GoP people who are not cultists, but they are mostly currently sitting back doing absolutely nothing because they want their party in power regardless of how it happens, and because most of the smart ones realize when this is all over there will be no Republican party as it existed before. The cultists will become their own group, the GoP from before will splinter, and hopefully America can get multiple parties like the Founding Fathers wanted instead of the two we currently have.
If you can openly agree trump is racist? Probably not in his cult. If you openly understand he is running one of the more corrupt cabinets and governments in recent history? Probably not in his cult. If you know the fact of global warming is true? Probably not in his cult.
If you scream MAGA, LOCK HER UP, BUILD THAT WALL, EMAILS, etc. and ignore basic facts we have that are proven? You are in the cult. and its about 20% of Americans currently and about 60% of the GOP based on polling. And if you are in this cult? You are a racist and a deplorable. If someone is too stupid to know if they are one of these things or not, you belong in it. And if your entire reason to vote is because someone called you out on being racist, ignorant, sexist, homophobic, etc. then you are even worse. Because at least the ones who are too stupid to know better are too stupid to know better and are simply being tricked or conned by a salesman.
But, If you aren't in his cult, and you simply let it exist or don't speak out against it because you don't want the other side to win, they aren't coming for you, etc. Then you are arguably worst of them all, because you are hypocritical as to what you claim to stand for in nearly every instance.
Hopefully that clarifies the differences in "cultist" and "conservative" because there is a clear difference. Just currently the latter is so quiet you don't know that there is one.
I see the Derangement has gotten ahold of you too. Did those memes and Facebook posts cause you to change your vote to Trump?
