The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5163 - Politics and Economics

Is that really exactly how it went down or are you taking liberties

Not that I don’t believe you that just seems way too LOL for me to take at pure face value

that was just my top-of-my-head memory, i didn't look it up. it might have been an al-queda fan club. but essentially she tried to reverse double troll the libs and got smacked down. turns out conservatives will just pick a premise and run with it regardless of how facts/logic work out

I’m not saying it isnt legit - I’m saying give it a minute.

For months you guys have been wailing and gnashing your teeth, being overly cynical about all hope being lost and now you’re eagerly consuming any headline that comes your way - I don’t understand it.

Buzzfeed is a good source imo. Ben Smith is a good editor. He's only "aggressive" by the standard set by the NYT/WaPo. (They were first to publish the Steele Dossier.) I mean the offer, if approved by Trump, should be impeachable. It's certainly a conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which seems to have been a regular practice with the Trump Org. Maybe something Cohen would know a little (ok, a lot) about. Man, even if he can't indict Trump I hope Mueller indicts his POS business. That would be a champagne day.

From what I remember I’m pretty sure that’s very close to how it went down. She partnered with James Okeefe and did a video or some **** trying to show the school accepting her ISIS club, the school then suspended her. The details might be slightly different but I think SA covered it pretty well

All the oligarchs would line up to live in the same building as Putin.” A second source confirmed the plan.

I'm sure looking forward to the hand waiving of giving 50M to heads of state being just good business while also getting outraged over the clinton foundation despite being unable to explain any of why they are mad.

Then eventually to literally whatever it took to stop hillary.

That was yesterday or the day before, it didn't make any news even here I think because well you expect that from flake.

This is not necessarily a feather in Buzzfeed's cap. I listened to Greg Coleman spend most of a commencement address at Georgetown defending this decision. He was not at all persuasive.

3. Actually I only needed two lines

I hereby take back one of the hundreds of bad things I've said about Tim Scott. His choice. I'll let you know what he decides!

Meanwhile Jeff Flake withdrew his 'no' vote on another nominee after pinky-swearing he wouldn't let any nominee through without a Mueller vote. Just a vapid, worthless sack of molecules
