What's the count of the number of Trump's people that met with the Russians?

How many different people do they need to meet?

FX's critically acclaimed drama, "The Americans", returns for a new season next Tueday, March7th

For those of you unfamiliar with the series, set in the 1980s, it follows two Russian spies living in America as a normal American couple raising two children in suburban Va. The two spies get highly classified information by developing relationships (even marriage) with Americans working in government, the defense industry, and even the military. They'll use love, sex, blackmail, violent threats, or any other available device to get highly classified information.


Now, I know that the plot line seems very far fetched, but it's still a great show.

Why are the Oscar envelopes all the same color?

If they were different colors for each category, wouldn't that be easier to sort out for everyone? If they want to stick to one color, why is the name of the award in dark colors? Why not use a lighter color so that the wording stands out in relief?

Dear Democrats, Stop Running Against Trump. Run against the Republicans.

Running against Trump is a losing proposition until 2020. Instead, the Democrats need to start making the case against the Republicans in Congress for failing to completely investigate Trump, for failing to offer an alternative to the ACA that includes the benefits of the ACA, for failing to block Trump's cabinet appointments, for failing to deliver on anything substantive with their power in congress. Every time a Democrat goes on TV, they need to call out the congressional Republicans, not Trump.

Some might ask, "why not do both?" The answer is that going after Trump now does nothing for the Democrats in 2018 because Trump won't be on the ballot. The Democrats need to give the American people a compelling reason to vote for them, and that reason is that the congressional Republicans aint doing shit about the important issues. Splitting that focus on Trump weakens their 2018 message. After 2018? Have at Trump all that you want.

But 2018 comes first.

Is Samuel L. Jackson the only actor to appear in....

a Tarzan and a King Kong movie? Also, why hasn't there ever been a Tarzan/King Kong team up buddy movie? Something like Tarzan and King Kong solve a high tech murder case in Silicon Valley.

If no contacts with the Russians happened, why would Priebus ask the FBI to downplay...

the story...the story of nothing happening.

Dear paid protesters, you won't get paid unless you have a cover sheet on your TPS report of your...

activities. Also, I'm going to need you to protest this Saturday and Sunday. That would be great. Thanks.
