This is interesting. Another Washington Post article, this time discussing Trump's "walls of secrecy falling down all around him." Note:

... Cohen, pleaded guilty last week to breaking campaign-finance laws, and said he'd arranged hush money payments to two women at Trump's direction. Both a tabloid executive - who had served Trump by snuffing out damaging tales before they went public - and Trump's chief financial officer gave testimony in the case.


Trump's lawyer, his tabloid buddy who killed stories about payoffs for him, and his CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER testified he broke campaign finance laws for these payoffs.

Think about that. Trump's money man is talking AND testifying. crap. Is. About. To. Go. Down. If Trump's CFO is talking then he's going to be able to show direct links between any and all Russian money and Trump's campaign, shell companies, and legitimate businesses.

Trump should be scared witless right now.

In coming months, certain cases could force Trump's company to open its books about foreign government customers, or compel the president to testify about his relationships with women...


Notice the bit about foreign governments? Why was this leaked this afternoon by our source to the Washington Post? I wouldn't be surprised if this starts to take precedence on the various talking points over the next 48 hours. Stay tuned, it's gearing up as the walls that Trump thought was protecting him instead close in on him.

It really does appear to be mostly a racism thing. People will accept a douche if they have their own douchey motivations.

how can any sane person seriously dismiss the likelihood that Trump himself is guilty of serious wrongdoing? At the very least, Trump is guilty of such abysmally poor judgement in his choices of advisors and confidants that that in itself should disqualify him from holding any high, government position of any kind, let alone President!

You people who still blindly support Trump, do you seriously still believe he is innocent of serious wrongdoing, or do you just not care how guilty and dishonest he is or what he is guilty of, as long as he claims or seems to support what you are desperately determined to believe in?

we don't make excuses, it is you that finds excuses. Your insistence that anything other than policy and administration are our measures for the office of President is your fallacy, not ours.
You confuse blind support with not giving a darn about superfluous and meaningless circumstances inasmuch as they pertain to why we voted for Trump.

Lol. Exhibit A for “completely avoiding the question”.

Lol! Subgenius is famous for both on this forum, and he just hasn't the wit or honesty to realize or admit it. He is equally famous for his penchant for projecting his own faults onto others. It is astonishing how he can continue to deny the increasingly abundant and obvious evidence of Trump's mendacity, corruption and pettiness (not to mention incompetence and ignorance). Even some Fox News hosts are increasingly distancing themselves from Trump and criticizing him.

Subby knows there is no way he can credibly deny Trump's corruption, pathological dishonesty or his sexual immorality and demeaning of women, so he feels he has no choice but to avoid those questions.

Besides all that, Trump comes up way short even on policy decisions and administrative actions and ability that subgenius insists are the relevant measure for evaluating Trump.

No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Nope, I can freely admit that I am famous. Jealous much?

This is exhibit A for idiocy logical fallacy - using tu quoque.

For me to consider you wrong in your assertions is not astonishing, it is rather sensible. Nevertheless, "abundant and obvious" is a fantasy of yours...an after-effect of being in the cult of presidency during the last administration.
Or perhaps an indictment for Trump was announced from Mueller's office that I missed?...or are you claiming that with an "abundant and obvious" amount of evidence is unknown to the DoJ and Mueller?....por que no indictment?
This is exhibit B for idiocy logical fallacy - you do not really know what evidence is.

Gunnar wrote:Even some Fox News hosts are increasingly distancing themselves from Trump and criticizing him.

This is exhibit C for idiocy logical fallacy - using an appeal to authority or perhaps no true scotsman, as an argument.

Gunnar wrote:Subby knows there is no way he can credibly deny Trump's corruption, pathological dishonesty or his sexual immorality and demeaning of women, so he feels he has no choice but to avoid those questions.

I do not avoid these questions, i clearly noted above (again) that they are irrelevant and/or based on faulty assumptions...nevertheless, they are fundamentally subjective. Stick with the adult topics of policy and administration, because you are getting super-extra-wadded-up-panties over the political game. Its like you would vote for a candidate because they kissed a baby....does reading policy just hurt your brain?
Nice try, but now you are at exhibit D for idiocy logical fallacy.

Gunnar wrote:Besides all that, Trump comes up way short even on policy decisions and administrative actions and ability that subgenius insists are the relevant measure for evaluating Trump.

Finally....after all that spittle you get to brass tacks...only to just say "comes up way short"....is this some sort of self-evident proclamation? You remind of the Ross Perot method of policy writing - "we gotta clean out the barn"....which of course is politics 101....see when Trump campaigned with a similar "drain the swamp", people like you mocked him because it ultimately was successful on the "rally" front...however your rally cry "comes up way short" because while it also lacks "detail"....its just not a successful rally appeal...because I am not in the choir you are preaching to.

But hey, i am open to reading your justification for claiming "comes up way short"....go ahead and list out every subjective and partisan belly ache that supports your conclusion. See, your entire post here is indicative of your positions...subjective belly aching for 98% followed by a 2% footnote that is at least on topic, but lacks actual substance.

Anyone defending Drumpf at this point has no concern for their credibility. We already knew that about subs ages ago. That makes subs the perfect Drumpf defender, the only requirement of which is to have no regard for common sense and a hostility toward your own reputation.
