I'm a day late, but... to alpha males
You'd understand if you were an alpha female... but no. You're just wasting your life getting a Ph.D.

Yes, you understand as a fellow beta with a life wasting PhD.

Have to stick together.

Trump says the government hasn't spent $1.6-B Congress earlier approved for border wall because administration follows his real estate practice of paying contractors only after work is done: "if they didn't do a good job, don't pay 'em"

1) That's not how that works.

2) They haven't been hired yet. Because that's not how that works.

You two are like a useless PhD support group of drain circling. Like, why do you even bother.

I’m guessing a lot of circumstantial evidence.

I think it's the other way around. The circumstantial evidence is stuff that's already in the public record - firing Comey for Lester Holt reasons, having Russian diplomats in the Oval Office for some quality time, etc. It's stuff that's not yet more broadly known that merited opening a criminal investigation with the name of the President of the United States in the subject line of the case file.

I was thinking more that the evidence they have that he is a foreign agent is circumstantial

I don’t think there is any doubt that there was a conspiracy

Right, I get that. I just don't think that FBI would deem that sufficient grounds for opening a criminal investigation with the POTUS as the target. There's more to it than that.

It's still amazing to me that neither of the two highest profile hispanic politicians from Texas, Julian Castro and Ted Cruz, can speak Spanish.

Well, in Cruz's defense he's Canadian, so...

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal conversations with Putin, including taking the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials. ⁦@gregpmiller⁩ https://t.co/JBSBb8d4zX

Just read this. I can't even imagine any president prior to Trump being allowed to get away with what he's doing.

Just to reiterate, @JudgeJeanine straight-out asked POTUS if he's working for Russia. He did not directly answer the question.

When asked by Pirro on Saturday about the Times' report and whether he had ever worked for Russia, Trump said, "I think it's the most insulting thing I've ever been asked."
Trump also tried to defend his actions with Russia, saying, "I've been tougher on Russia than anybody else -- any other -- probably any other president, period, but certainly the last three or four presidents."
During his interview with Pirro, Trump also responded to questions about a Washington Post report regarding his private conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I had a conversation like every president does. You sit with the president of various countries," Trump said. "I do it with all countries. We had a great conversation, we were talking about Israel and securing Israel and lots of other things and it was a great conversation. I'm not keeping anything under wraps, I couldn't care less."

I’m in the White House, waiting. The Democrats are everywhere but Washington as people await their pay. They are having fun and not even talking!

Carl Bernstein has said that he’s been told that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will show how President Donald Trump helped Russia “destabilize the United States.”

I bet this deals with the whole refusing to accept the results if he loses. I think stone was going to run a whole rigged election campaign had trump lost and try to drive that narrative. Which would have made vlad pleased.

It would’ve been interesting to see how that played out, if that was indeed the case.
