    “‘The history of the United States at the present time does not seek to answer any significant questions,’ Degler told his audience some three decades ago. If American historians don’t start asking and answering those sorts of questions, other people will, he warned. They’ll echo Calhoun and Douglas and Father Coughlin. They’ll lament ‘American carnage.’ They’ll call immigrants ‘animals’ and other states ’shithole countries.’ They’ll adopt the slogan ‘America first.’ They’ll say they can ‘make America great again.’ They’ll call themselves ‘nationalists.’ Their history will be a fiction. They will say that they alone love this country. They will be wrong.”

    Anyone care to be a friend of Trump? The man is pure posion.
    “Ex-Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo whines after receiving Judiciary Committee letter: ‘I have a family!”
    Conservative pundit Michael Caputo was not happy Monday night.
    The former Trump campaign advisor whined on Twitter after confirming he was among the around 81 people who had received a letter requesting documents and communications touching on the Trump campaign’s business dealings with Russia from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

    IN the ‘it would help if trump knew what he was doing ” category — According to trump, “Billions of Dollars are being paid to the United States by China in the form of Trade Tariffs!” It seems that ole trumpy doesn’t know how it really works. Tariffs are paid by importers not countries and those costs are passed on to consumers. Economists estimate that last year US consumers paid $3B A MONTH in higher prices due to trump’s trade war. So, once again, Make America grate by enriching the corporate goons who make large campaign donations and make the rest of Americans pay.. isn’t that just wonderful. It’s the American people who have suffered from trump’s ignorance and faux deal making while the rest of the world laughs in our faces thinking, ‘How did such an idiot ever get in office anyway?’. answer– you can fool some of the people all of the time.

    Nothing has changed since the days of Truman and Pendergast. The only difference is that Trump is the thug and all is cohorts are the ones guilty by association. The results speak for themselves. It works.
    Trump even claimed he was so rattled by Cohen he broke off his talks with NK. Hard to believe since that was his third excuse for failing to squeeze a drop from Kim Jung Un, but I believe there is at least a hint of truth there.

    His Proggys are go’n “investigate’n! in search of some supposed crime.
    So that’s the America Emery wants? No crime has been committed. Yet the likes of Emery want free run to “find one”.. His name is Trump!. He MUST have committed SOME crime some where at some time. Do we have evidence?? NO!! That’s why we need to investigate… To find it.( and time to manufacture it)

    ———————————————————————————————————————
    On to obstruction. On to ‘taxes.’ On to….drumroll please……Flood The Zone.
    Are we supposed to ignore the convenient tactic of Democrats moving past collusion to obstruction? No serious person really believes that, as Mueller fails to uncover any illegal interference in government actions, some decidedly oleaginous characters in Congress like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell will. Mueller showed no hesitation in prosecuting peripheral figures in the Russia collusion drama for the most minor process crimes. Those who suddenly refuse to believe the special counsel was thorough enough have no interest in finding the truth. They never did to start with.
    The playbook of Democrats has been obvious all along. They are merely weaponizing the investigative and prosecutorial functions of government for partisan ends, under the guise of “congressional oversight.” Moreover once Democrats tire of sermonizing under the capitol dome about the threat of obstruction, they will move along to his tax returns, business dealings, dangerously ample girth, or whatever else they can dream up.

    Here you go:
    “Russia’s state television service this week mocked President Donald Trump for harming relationships with his own country’s allies while completely failing to come away with an agreement to denuclearize North Korea.
    As Julia Davis reports in The Daily Beast, Russian state TV show host Dmitry Kiselyov this week listed all of the president’s foreign policy missteps and ridiculed him for painting himself as a top deal maker who could convince North Korea to abandon its arsenal of nuclear weapons.
    “Trump miraculously managed to worsen relations on all fronts: with the European Union, China, Russia,” he said. “Total failure in Syria. The same with Turkey. Failure with Iran and failure with Venezuela.
    failures at every turn… Trump, who calls himself the ‘master of the deal,’ left Vietnam empty-handed……..”

    In an interview on ABC News’ “The Investigation” podcast published Tuesday, Ty Cobb disputed many of the president’s complaints about Mueller and his team, chiefly that Mueller’s examination of the 2016 presidential election and Trump’s possible obstruction of justice was a “witch hunt.”.
    “I don’t feel the investigation is a witch hunt,” Cobb said, adding he wished the investigation “had happened on a quicker time frame,” while acknowledging the pace was not Mueller’s fault.

    “During her tenure as United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton drew controversy by using her family’s private email server for official communications rather than using official State Department email accounts maintained on secure federal servers. An FBI examination of Clinton’s server found over 100 emails containing classified information, including 65 emails deemed “Secret” and 22 deemed “Top Secret”. An additional 2,093 emails not marked classified were retroactively classified by the State Department.
    Some experts, officials, and members of Congress contended that Clinton’s use of a private messaging system and a private server violated State Department protocols and procedures, as well as federal laws and regulations governing recordkeeping.
