I don’t have the heart to look at a list. Certainly can’t think of any offhand. Huge numbers of people are staking out the turf in the New Republican Party even before they’ve struck the set on the old model. Hensarling is probably smart enough to know that most of the big donors will go somewhere so he’'ll be lining up with them directly. People are so preoccupied with the Kochs and Mercers, but the overall donor base is much bigger and not Breitbart material.

Harsh and too much for that age. Over-generalizes and over-emphasizes the bad resulting in an unnecessarily cynical child IMO.

Also… it is a violation of Federal Law for a person running for any political office, Federal, State, or Local, to receive anything of value from a foreign national. That’s money, aid, information, anything. I mean, if you’re running for dog-catcher in upstate New York and you get some Canadian kid to put up yard signs for you, you’ve violated a Federal Law. Oppo Research received directly from a foreign government, or representatives of that government, would be in violation of the law, and, further of course, in the case of a nation that is “hostile”, it begins to look a lot like Treason, too.

Not sure about your assertion that there are bigger fish than the Koches. Their group amassed something like $400 million in the last election to go after Ds and support Rs.

Trump may not be their ideal “leader,” but he’s shown to be disposed to doing pretty much what they want.

Until the content of those conversations comes out, Trump’s team is
reduced to arguing that the people the campaign named to advisory roles had no idea what they were doing.

I am reduced to wondering if anyone in the trump White House has any idea what they are doing NOW

Need to change the word from “disappear” to “conceal” in the first sentence. I had to re-read that sentence three times before I understood what Allegra was trying to say.

Does that hold if I visit the Mexican Consulate here in Tucson and ask the nice Mexican Government representative across the desk for a visa to enter Mexico past the “frontera zone”?

Well, this just points out my father’s dictum that lying as a general course of action is a very bad idea (cuz it can most times be checked).

Prolly a number of charges were dropped when the coffee boy copped a plea.

I keep wondering how this doesn’t apply to the Christopher Steele information.

“…slam dunk required to make it over the probable cause hurdle…” on their way to the finish line in the end zone so they could knock it out of the park instead of scoring an own goal or rolling a gutterball.

General Kelly agrees with you, completely.

When is the right time to learn that the history taught in school was a lie? I would prefer it be before she is taught the lie.

Wow. Really? If trump had hired a Russian to investigate Clinton, that would not have been a violation of the law. If A Russian gave Trump “dirt” then this is illegal.

One is paying for services, the other is accepting the gift of services.

Now grow a brain. Clearly trump’s campaign worked with Russia. Clearly Russia mabipulated morons like you.
