What are you talking about there? I read up on her personal history. Are you talking about dating Willie Brown? She was already a deputy city attorney for Alameda when she dated him. And she apparently stopped dating him around 1996 when he became Mayor of San Francisco. Then her next job was winning the election for Attorney General of San Francisco in 2003.

I have a hard time calling that "slept her way into power." He didn't appoint her to anything. She won the election around 7 years after they stopped dating.

Unless you're talking about something that didn't make it onto Wikipedia, which is possible.

"Sleeping your way into power" is like Jared Kushner. :)

That statement was unbelievable. I had to watch it again just to see if he said what he said. It falls above using himself (Scaramucci) as an anonymous source and below using a 10-year-old kid in his mom's basement.


I'm waiting for Turmp to say:
It could have been anyone trying to hack the election -- we were only working with the Russians so for all we know it could have been anyone else also.

I said in another post that it was looking more and more like all the dealings with Russia appear to be more about the Trump family enriching themselves and not so much impacting the 2016 election. It appears there is more and more evidence of that happening.

Legal or not, the Trump family seems to be pretty heavily involved with some very shady characters in Russia.

P.S - Where is the investigation into Hilary's e-mails !!!!!

Great spin! Say nothing about Trump and shift it to the Democrats. The Democrats are self destructing but it doesn't have anything to do with Trump. All of the Russia stuff is pointless. Stick with that instead of saying absolutely nothing.

All the dealings? The Trump Jr. meeting was explicitly about damaging intel on Hillary and Manafort (Trump campaign manager at the time) was there. I don't think there's any way not to conclude it was at least partly about the election.

Though Kushner had no idea about what the meeting was about. Looks like he was just accidentally invited or something or just popped in to say hi.

A non-disclosure agreement is not the same thing as illegal.

And if authorized, the "leak" may not even be a breach. From what I understand, some of these co-called leaks may have come from Trump himself.

If they did have the meeting because of "dirt" on Hilary, it's not really anything different than any other campaign would do. As Trump said, they didn't need any more information from the Russians, they had plenty on their own.

I think that is why the Trump team keeps clinging to the idea that they didn't do anything illegal, because in terms of the election, they didn't. It's also why Trump seems to be far more agitated when he senses that Mueller will expand the investigation into his financial dealings with the Russians, he knows that is where the real dirt is going to be found.

There may not be anything illegal in terms of the financial deals but it would certainly start calling into question Trumps refusal to put his business dealings in a blind Trust and in not releasing his tax returns. The Russians appear pretty eager to hitch their wagons to the Trump gravy train.

Yes. So he said. Not under oath.

It was a very nice statement he read. Wonderfully crafted.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

I have not heard of any example of a campaign taking "oppo" from an adversarial foreign state. I consider it "very different" until demonstrated otherwise.


Need is irrelevant. What's relevant is if they actually took information.


I'm not sure how you can say anything definitive like, "They didn't." We don't know. You don't know. There's plenty of circumstantial evidence that they might have.


Not sure there's much of a gravy train now. Tump-Russia appear to have overplayed their hand.

     Plenty of smoke from other quarters, primarily Fusion GPS, the company tied to both the Trump dossier, and the Trump jr meeting. Still looks to me like general meddling by Russia, mostly trying to disrupt things here, though I do believe Putin was happy for someone to beat Hillary.

I'm pretty sure Mueller doesn't get distracted easily. Doesn't matter what the rest of us do.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

One forum member remarked the other day that the Russia investigation has "fizzled out," as though it's somehow dependent on media coverage.

By that measure, shark attacks must be at a record low right now.

I think the entire world outside of Texas has ceased to exist.

Did you actually read the article? The headline is completely misleading and doesn't represent, accurately the email exchange or what is written in the article. One really has to have an agenda, or just "read between the lines". The article does not tie Sater to the Trump campaign and Cohen, an attorney for Trump's business pretty clearly shot the building proposal down. In fact, the building proposal died prior to the campaign ramping up (from the article). Again, another day another crazy media report with nothing behind it.

Now can we move back on to Trump being a racist anti-Semite who promotes violence against the innocent Antifa? Or should we get Trail excited by mentioning Article 25 section 4. Trump's ouster is just around the corner... again... again... again. But the article does keep the ST Crazy 6 excited for another day.

But the article does keep the ST Crazy 6 excited for another day.

Articles like that seem to keep the Trump groupies excited too. You go after the ST Crazies just as often as they go after Trump.

Maybe, its "laughing at" verses "going after".

Not sure there are any "Trump groupies" on ST. There are sane people who think that folks like you, who are so far over the top, whose very existence these days revolves around Trump, waiting for his downfall, are scary, and funny at the same time. Just because a lot of us believe the country should live by our Constitution which governs our system doesn't make us groupies. It makes us sane.

Damnnnnn, throwing shade at Trump for the Arpaio pardon. Good job.

So you have no problem with a President who says he is the law and order President, pardons someone the law found guilty, before serving a single day of his sentence?

It seems you are picking and choosing which laws are good and which are okay to bend, no?

Did you not hear all the applause in support of Arpaio at Trump's rally in Arizona?

Many people are saying he deserved a pardon. He was treated very, very unfairly, they're saying.

Seems pretty clear you don't understand the concept of Justice.

Arpaio was treated incredibly unfairly though. That trumps any type of laws or order. This mental midget actually said it was Arpaio that was treated unfairly. It's like he never even looked at the irrefutable evidence that convicted Arpaio.
