    The Trump Card...

    What's that phrase people use all the time? Oh, yeah, conflict of interest.

    The Trump Card...

    Nobody cares, because it's not important. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of colluding with Russia and/or being a Putin puppet. The people who elected Trump were fully aware that he had businesses, and they didn't care. The only people who care are the ones who want him out of office. If...

    The Trump Card...

    Keep sending? It's not like Americans have had copious amounts of opportunity to send spineless Republicans to Washington since Obama left office. BO (Before Obama) Republicans had a spine.

    The Trump Card...

    Traditionally, the former president, staff and candidates, once no longer a player, are left alone and are not prosecuted, because it is seen as persecution. Dictators jail their predecessors and competition, we don't do that. Also, Karma is a :censoredsign:.

    The Trump Card...

    Presidents traditionally leave the swamp in August for a week or two of vacation. If the West Wing (A.K.A., The Dump) wasn't undergoing much needed renovations he might not even take the 17 days away from the White House. Since he is, he's calling it a working vacation. Probably because the NYT...

    Illuminating, aren't they? LOL

    The Trump Card...

    The short answer... Members of the swamp fighting the drainage thereof notwithstanding, the Republicans are, by and large, spineless little slugs. I would say it's because the Republicans have a big-picture sense of fair play, and they have an utter lack of the moral and ethical ambiguity that...

    The Trump Card...

    A couple of things... "Did not care enough to vote at all" is not necessarily an indication of indifference towards Trump. Some of the more spectacular post-election night liberal meltowns that can be viewed on YouTube are by people who admit they did not vote. Interviews on the street during...

    The Trump Card...

    It goes farther back than that. Comey got butthurt when he laid out the case against Hillary and then said he wasn't going to file charges, and Trump skewered him for it. And with the release of the shamefully redacted correspondence between Lynch's DOJ and Comey's FBI we can see why Comey got...

    The Trump Card...

    Any litigator will tell you that insurance industry employees and teachers make the worst jurors, because they have a strong tendency to factor in and convict based on things outside of the presented evidence. Prosecutors favor them, though. Journalists, on the other hand, as a group, tend to...

    The Trump Card...

    The WSJ says special grand jury, the NYT says most definitely not, and The Hill uses unnamed sources that won't confirm and has a story loaded with qualifiers like "some say." That's why I don't see any bets based on reporting. It doesn't matter either way. Mueller-dedicated or not, the jury...

    The Trump Card...

    I suppose it's possible, but I don't really trust the reporting. The original reporting had Mueller empanelling a special grand jury, which Virginia didn't even have. In any case, a dedicated grand jury is possible, but they still only sit for 6 months, so unless he's already planning to wrap...

    I start getting antsy at 6/32, which is the minimum for snow, and that's when I start making plans to replace them. All other things being equal, the key to treadwear longevity is going to be proper inflation. Nitrogen will certainly help with that. With regular air you'll lose 1-2 psi per...

    The Trump Card...

    That's because it is the epitome of routine. Mueller didn't go out and put together some super sekrit Justice League of America Grand Jury, he's simply using one of the several, regular ol', run o' the mill, already-sitting grand juries in the Washington DC area. The first round of subpoenas...

    The Trump Card...

    It doesn't really matter how they handle the optics. The Press will characterize it as damning guilt.

    The Trump Card...

    According to the MSM these shakeups at the White House is unprecedented. I guess they forget how Obama filled the White House with his friends from Chicago and had to clean house several times before things began running smoothly. And about how it was musical chairs at the Clinton White House...

    The Trump Card...

    That's the kind of reporting, and sourcing you find at celebrity gossip publications. Next we'll be seeing reports that one of Ivanka's gal pals says Ivanka is distraught because her stepmother is no longer speaking to her because Ivanka chooses Huggies over Pampers for her baby. According to...

    "My Michelin Defender tires have a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty and I've got 85,000 miles on them! They're gggggreeat!", says Tony 'The Touring' Tiger. Most of Michelin's competitors use the industry standard for light truck tires or 50,000 mile warranty, so Michelin started doing the same...
