So bored with the "Voters in 2016 *knew* Trump was a filanderer" response to end moral arguments.

I keep seeing and hearing Trump apologists rag on about how "Everyone Trump voter knew that he dogged around on his wives and played fast and loose with the truth and had no regard the Bill of Rights and would never release his taxes and planned to use the White House to get rich. He was elected to make deals and shake up Washington."

If Trumpanzees are so certain (I'm not) that everyone expected him to cheat on his wife, why are they objecting to us talking about it? If it's not a big deal, let the Democrats "waste their time" talking about the immoral character of the Commander-in-Thief. If God wants Trump in the White House so bad that She doesn't mind him using his property holdings to funnel in bribes from American corporations and foreign governments, why do they gripe so much when we talk about God's Plan for America (which apparently includes a Holy Tariff War with China, the pollution of our atmosphere, and whole lot less rendering unto Caesar for billionaires... amen!).

Rant over.

They searched and searched and searched and that's all they could get: lying in a civil deposition in a case deemed to be frivolous about a matter that was deemed to be irrelevant.

They are pathetic creatures.

Russian collusion is pretty damn easy to hide, if the Trumpees are willing to lie. But there's really no reason that Mueller shouldn't go after the increasingly clear case of money laundering connected to the Russians. If Trump's guilty of that, the collusion case won't really matter that much.

Just keep rubbing it in.

Better yet cut them off. Is there is anything to be gained by engaging them? I don't think so. Laugh at them. Mock them. At some point some may see the light.

I'm involved in a "tripartisan" online discussion group (more libertarians than GOPers). I'm perfectly okay with acknowledging their excuses. That's the warm up before I rub it in.

But I never "cut them off". First, it's an on-line forum, so there's no interrupting. But more importantly, I expect people to listen to my arguments, so I'm pretty much honor-bound to listen to theirs. The best mocking is done with word-for-word quotes from my opponent.

However, what will bring him down is collision with Russia, money laundering and obstruction of justice. His supporters will only steer clear from him once they realize he's toast legally speaking.

There's just no point in saying the only thing I have to tell them over and over, which is "You are a moron."

.... excitedly and religiously voted him into office.

Ripe for exploitation, blackmail, extortion as he goes to countless great lengths to keep these infidelities a top secret issue hidden under the shroud of a NDA.

These Americans are idiots and total fools how could they take such a cavalier attitude pertaining to national security matters. This man is proven danger and a high risk - he has to fork over big wads of cash to keep his disgusting infidelities and inappropriate sexual conducts and behaviors a secret.
