I'm still deluding myself that Barr is actually a Mueller plant, a double agent who will work to surgically remove Trump in a way that leaves the GOP unscathed.

He helped Bush the Greater pardon himself out of Iran-Contra. He's a party over country toady.

I think their decisions are always based on what's in their own best political interests first, not the party or the country. Previously, they calculated more damage from abandoning Trump than sticking with him. Now, the calculus has been changed by Trump's failed power grab. He's a Loser.

occasionally, the interests of the Country and personal political interests might align.
total loyalty to an effing moron can't really be in anyone's long-term political interest.

what is correct is that Republicans display far greater party unity than Democrats.
When many of them don't it means something big is up, something where members have to decide between the well-being of the party and that of the president.

What makes you think party affiliation is more important than institutional affiliation here?

We can bet on what we think the report will say about trump's comment at the rally.

A bet is fine with provided that you can stay actually manage to stay on point for a small period of time.

What you were originally stating that is your request for action now from the US government (in regards to the arrest of a Forum member) is equivalent to the request that Trump made to Russian government back in July 2016 (in regard to the Clinton e-mails).

If you can show such equivalence, then I will give you $50.00.

If you cannot show such equivalence, then you give me $1.00.

Those are 50:1 odds in your favor, so that should be a fair bet.

Only Trump would think that using an amendment to the Constitution for exactly it's intended purpose was unconstitutional.

That's a quote from Dershowitz, so not only Trump.

Yes, I know that lots of folk think Dershowitz is off the rails on all things Trump. I'm just pointing out that it's not only Trump who thinks thus.

I really, really don't see how you're getting that from what I said.

"as part of a Democrat power grab" isn't in any part of what you quoted, it isn't any part of their claim, you inserted it yourself. What's the justification for that insertion? If you assume intraparty disputes never happen, then that insertion makes sense. If you don't assume that, then your insertion doesn't make sense. You can't get that from what they said.

Ironic.

No. Most, if not all, of what Trump says has no logic behind it, yet sarcasm is an entirely valid way to respond.

The problem isn't responding to Trump with sarcasm. The problem is that what was said in response still makes no sense. That post was invalid. Nothing in anyone's response makes it any more valid. And Trump wasn't even the original source of what it was trying to criticize.

I will grant that you seem to lack the ability to make sense of what dasmiller wrote, but I can assure you that not everyone shares your failing.

I understand what it means perfectly well. It's just wrong.
 
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was interviewed as part of the Mueller investigation...

From: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/spe...p-press-secretary-sarah-huckabee-sanders.html
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has interviewed President Donald Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders...That interview reportedly occurred in early fall of 2018.

I do wonder in the value of interviewing someone like her, whether Mueller expects to get any valuable information on her, or whether she was interviewed as a way to send a message to Trump.
 
I mostly just lurk here for entertainment purposes but I can't figure something out:

On the one hand, Trump is an out of control idiot/crazy person who acts solely on impulse without thinking things through, right?

Yet at the same time he's also some sort of criminal mastermind who's been engaged in all sorts of criminal activity like money laundering or whatever for decades and being Putin's bitch without ever leaving a shred of legally incriminating evidence behind.

I'm sorry but these two scenarios simply do not seem at all congruous to me.

Yeah, that lack of a shred of evidence is sure interesting when his henchmen have already been convicted with it.
