Best case Russia/Stormy scenario for Democrats

I would like to see Muellers report released in its entirety around late July.
Most primaries will be over by then. Most effective timing for midterms.
Report should have Trump personally indicted for Obstruction of Justice, money laundering, bank fraud, and cooperation with a foreign government in disrupting the election.
Pence should also be indicted on at least one of these.

1. Dems win House & Senate, Both Trump & Pence impeached, Pelosi named President.

2. Dems win House & Senate, Trump impeached, Pence name sullied but he is President.

3. Dems win House & Senate, House impeaches Trump, Senate does not. Trump stymied by
Congress until 2020 when he is routed in bid for re-election.

I think we know Trump will never spend a day in prison, no matter what Mueller has on in him.
That’s why I didn’t include that scenario.

Trumps Sexual Slush Pimp

It seems that more than a lawyer, confidante, and friend that Cohen served Trump as his pimp.
He probably helped him in finding women and then paying them off for their silence.
For this, he was given a monthly retainer and title of Trumps “fixer”.

We will never know what this fully entailed.
For example, Could he have paid for an abortion?, child support payments?

Most likely bottom line scenario on Russia/Trump campaign.

I think we are now getting to the “how much there there is” from Muellers viewpoint.

I think it ranges from a worst case scenario of this for Trump:
He and the highest levels of his campaign worked in coordination with the Russians.
There was a quid pro quo of Russians helping him get elected in exchange for the change in the Ukraine policy in the RNC platform leading to an easing on sanctions and pro Russian stance.

Or the best case scenario for Trump:
Trump himself knew very little about what was going on.
His campaign staff and son shielded him from anything to do with Russia.
Russia’s offer to help with Trumps campaign wasn’t turned down but wasn’t overtly sanctioned.

Now, there are, of course, degrees in between the two above scenarios.
No matter what the answer to this bigly question of Russia collusion is, I think it’s obvious that Mueller has Trump and others dead to rights on obstruction of justice.
There is also money laundering and influence peddling and who knows what else.
This should be plenty to justify removing Trump from office.
But, would it get 67 votes in the Senate.
Only if the gop powers that be think they would be better off with a Pence.
That, of course, assumes that Pence is not too widely tied to any Trump corruption.

So, if you want to play along, answer the question:
What truly happened with the Russians and how much was Trump personally involved both before and after he was elected?

Gay friend told a joke last night about lettering.

Big diverse group of people sitting around drinking and shooting the bull.
Someone asked what the Q means in LGBTQ.
one person said queer but was corrected that it is “questioning”.
Then, somebody pipes up with this gem.
“I think they should add an A to make it LGBTQA. The A would represent people like me for
“AND (that one time in college).”

I thought it was kinda funny.

How long before Trump takes credit for Korean announcement?

Fox and Friends gets an assist, of course.
Doesn’t this prove that Mueller is a corrupt left wing witch hunter?
Trump is best negotiator of all time.
He got this peace done without even being a part of the negotiations.

Lets play the end game speculation game.

1. Guess the date that Mueller wraps up his work and sends his findings to DOJ.
2. Guess what that report will say about Trump specifically. Indicted? For what?
3. What people actually spend time in prison?

Bonus points: Does Trump resign, get impeached by House but not Senate, re-elected?

My answers:
July 15, 2018
Unindicted co-conspirator by knowing or unknowingly allowing his campaign to participate in a foreign govt intrusion into our election. Obstruction of justice. No money laundering.
Cohen, Manafort, Flynn.
Trump resigns after a new Dem controlled House impeaches him in April 2019.

How does the religious right support Rudy dressed in drag Giuliani.

The Evangelicals would’ve been apoplectic if a Democrat did something like this.
But, I guess like so many other things, IOKIYAR (Its ok if you’re a republican).

CNN host takes on MSNBCs Morning Joe

Watching New Day show on CNN approx 6:30 am Eastern today.
They were talking about Hannity ties to the White House and the criticism of Hannity.
Then, host Chris Cuomo says why is nobody talking about MSNBC’s show Morning Joes relationship with Trump.
He said that show is our direct competitor in this time slot and he believes that the way that Joe and Mika pumped up Trump during the campaign season giving Trump daily access to their show hurt CNN’s ratings because Trump was always on MSNBC and not CNN.
Cuomo further said why has there been no examination of Joe and Mika’s ties to Trump during the campaign, and or how they turned against Trump after he became President.

Little bit of a wow moment for Cuomo to call out a direct competitor on live tv like that.
Hopefully, somebody here can find the clip from this morning on CNN and post it.
Joe and Mika not on their show this morning, so no response from them on MSNBC as yet.

Why does this site accept dirty ad money 💰 from Repubs?

There are banner ads for Casey Cagle on my screen.
I live in Georgia and he is running for Gov of Ga.
Does his campaign manager really think that Georgians on DU would ever vote for that racist illiterate pig?
