Obstruction of justice: it’s not just for Russia anymore.
Hopefully it will be charged.

I wonder what McCaskill’s take on this is.

“…was going to be totally ransacked and probably burned down”

Donald Trump is demented.

The Republican Party is knowingly and willfully endangering our republic and the lives of its citizens, and will continue to do so, as long as money keeps pouring in from a few corrupt billionaires.

I’ll look at some point, but Parson shouldn’t be in a spot where 20% of state voters aren’t sure that he should get a full term.

Though it might help him, Parson has a chance to walk away from this.

Just as a technical detail I don’t see a need to keep calling that pistol “puny” and so forth. It looks like a Walther PPK .380 and it fires essentially the same caliber bullet as any nine-millimeter pistol. True pocket pistols tend to be .22s and .25s, but even they are inconvenient to be shot with.

From the Washington Post article:

“The McCloskeys — who have a history of suing their neighbors, family members, employers and others for a wide spectrum of disputes“.

Hmm sounds familiar? I think we know why Trump can relate to them.

Interesting that Gardner referred to the MO gov as ‘’ the governor’’ and the US president as ‘‘Donald Trump.’’

I’m surprised he didn’t add that the black men were looking at Ms. Piggy with her pistol, whistling and winking.

Remember when the GOP claimed to believe in States Rights and the evils of Federal Interference?
(Yes, only when convenient, of course.)
I smell an upcoming election plus cable-tv interviewers.

“I think the President didn’t like what he was seeing, and the way people are being treated,” Parson said. “I think you’ll see some sort of actions.”

So very nice Trumpspeak Gov. Parsons, you’ve got the style down pat.

As for Gov. Parsons just remember we didn’t elect him to be Governor, Grietens stepped down and here we have an old school Republican talking like a Trumper.

I posted this 3 days ago or so. Mark McCloskey is as damaged as Donald.

The similarities are eerie.

The couple went on Trump’s favorite network, soooo…

It’s not the gun that needs additional descriptors, it’s Patricia’s actions that need them. The fact that she’s waving that thing around with one hand on her hip is appalling and indicative of how seriously the couple takes firearm safety.

I hope the prosecutor takes them to the cleaners and the state GOP really steps up to defend what looks like the most popular couple in town. Really grow their constituency with this defense.

Trump forgot to tell everyone that Mrs McCloskey was going to be raped by some bad hombres…probably.
