POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Does he have a problem with the substance of these investigations, or the fact they are against Republicans?

The latter. He is basically saying Sessions screwed the GOP by charging two people with crimes so close to the midterms.

You referenced Trump and having more than a one-why-question deep understanding of anything. Pure. Comic. Genius.

Good god...Trump is going to have a coronary!

Think of how hard Woodward and Bernstein had to work to take down Nixon...Trump is handing it to them on a silver platter.

Yet there are a huge number of people who either don't care (drew) or think it's ok (flaggy) that Rs are not likely going to do anything.

And by anything, I do mean anything- they don't have to play the impeachment card, they just have to stand up and say this is wrong. Only a handful of them are doing that.

dumpy is doing a real number to even question his SC nomination, and it would only take 2 people to disagree to hold it up, and I bet that won't happen. And a hold up does not even mean he does not get the appointment, it just gets held up.

This is the party of dumpy, not Republican or conservative. This is everyone "hail dump".

A couple typos, so likely a parody.

I agree, that story would make too much sense.

Trump doesn't have dementia and he's not schizo either. He's just a low IQ racist who is terrified of prison and public shaming.

I honestly couldnt tell either way...but it was both funny (if false) and scary (if true) so I posted it

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

This book has had so many bombshells you might as well call it shock and awe

But really, what's it telling you that you didn't already know or could infer, just from the news stories, watching him speak, or from his tweeter.

I mean, yeah, the sheer scale of his incompetence, dim-wittedness, and explosiveness might be a bit tougher to wrap your head around, but really, none of this is stuff we didn't know about the guy, even before the election.

I mean, she-who-can't-be-named was warning us before the election that you didn't want a guy as president who would become unhinged by a simple tweet. Apparently, a lot of people did.

I'd say his talent is in being a con-artist. He's arguably the greatest con artist of all time. Problem is he has no other skills and should have stayed with the real estate/name branding that made him famous as tax policy, trade policy and diplomacy are way over his head. I also think he is suffering from a low grade mental decline probably caused by sleeping 3 hours a day even though he's well into his 70's.

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Holy ****, they buried the lede here:

“Then, in an even more remarkable move, Dowd and Trump's current personal attorney Jay Sekulow went to Mueller's office and re-enacted the mock interview. Their goal: to argue that Trump couldn't possibly testify because he was incapable of telling the truth.
"He just made something up. That's his nature," Dowd said to Mueller.”

I like the one better where after this, Dowd went to Trump and told him "it's either don't testify, or it's an orange jumpsuit"

Red Don says, "I want to testify. I'll make a great witness."

Dowd says, "no you won't, there's nothing I can do to help you", and quits the next day.

Too little sleep and too much caffeine (from Diet Coke) will mess with anyone's head.

And he's a used car salesman.

He didn't have a choice. It was either run, or the mob would drop just enough evidence to have him nailed for money laundering and tax fraud. "Nice life we've given you, Donald. Be a shame if you lost it all."

Are you saying he's nothing more than the ***** of a different branch of the swamp that runs DC? Or are you saying the NYC version runs him.

I'm suggesting that Russian mob connections have loansharked him money for his projects for years, after other banks stopped doing business with him. That's the connection.

This. It's been written on the wall since before the election. The electorate was too stupid to see it.

Yep. And number one attribute for a con-artist is Charisma. He rolled a 3 in Intelligence but got that high Charisma score. Nothing gets you through life easier than Charisma.

The Russian mob. The one he's been laundering money for for the past 20 years.

it's easy to have charisma when you're born into tens of millions of dollars and everyone wants to kiss your azz. You just tell them what they want to hear.

It isnt what we know it is all the confirmations from people around him. It is one thing for me to say "Trump is an unhinged racist moron" but if John Kelly and Gary Cohn say it, there is no confirmation bias there.
