I wonder if Trump will resign or defect first

President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project
President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.


Interesting to note, is that this information comes from two federal law enforcement officials involved in "AN" investigation. Was it Mueller's people who leaked this info to Buzzfeed, or the Southern District of New York or...? Buzzfeed published the Steele Dossier while the New York Times passed on it.

The Gray Lady Has Some Mold
With the recent revelation that the FBI has long suspected Donald Trump of being a Russian puppet, Dean Baquet owes Liz Spayd an overdue apology.
In May 2017, Baquet, as New York Times executive editor, oversaw the elimination of the paper's public-editor position, effectively firing Spayd before her two-year term was up. As public editor, it was Spayd's job to act as an internal Times watchdog, answer reader questions, and address concerns about news coverage.
Why was Spayd pushed out?
In November 2016 and again in January 2017, Spayd wrote columns that criticized the paper's "timid" coverage of the Russia hacking scandal during the presidential campaign.

So when do we start calling him, President Putin?

Donald Trump Personally Phoned ‘NYT’ Reporter To Defend Vladimir Putin Against Election Hacking Accusations
Following a meeting with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump once picked up the phone to call a 'New York Times' reporter to make an extraordinary claim about the Russian strongman.

The simple truth is that Trump is now vastly overmatched by people vastly smarter and more knowledgeable than he is.   He truly has no clue what to do. When your main advisers are your experience free daughter and son-in-law, you are truly alone. - Tony Schwartz

Guys, I’m starting to think Rudy Giuliani may be secretly working for Robert Mueller
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, said that there could have been “collusion” between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russian officials, but if it did happen, Trump didn’t do it

Evangelical Poll Rigging

Paying someone from Liberty University cash in a bag to rig an online poll just reminds you that we're really not playing against the varsity here. - PopeHat tweet





For I was a stranger & you tear-gassed meI asked for asylum & you stole my children 
I fled violence in my country from your drug war & you called me 'illegal' 
But maybe the next time evangelicals vote they'll read the Gospels 1st instead of electing f*cking CaligulaAmen. - John Fugelsang
