Yes, Ellen, but we have a craven despot in power now. Please mail him everything you got (...like he'll read it. )

(42,559 posts)politely telling a Canadian they couldn't accept a donation for a t-shirt. Fortunately the Project Verybadgas operative was on hand to launder $40 of Canadian money so she did get her t-shirt and it was all Hillary's fault!!!1!

Funny how James hasn't been the least bit offended by Trump accepting foreign aid.....

Despite her party affiliation, she entered the FEC by way of a GW Bush recess appointment.

(12,586 posts)for Fat Donnie to care about it. Remember wwhen that is what people who brief him said is required to keep his interest?
I doubt he could even recite, or even summarize, his oath of office.

(2,577 posts)This is Trumpistan--where corruption is the new normal. Where we are told that "everyone does it" (maybe in the Rethuglican party ...) and it doesn't count if (a) you didn't really get anything helpful (you know, if the cash register is empty it doesn't count as armed robbery) or (b) you didn't know it wasn't okay.

(342 posts)it won't do a damn bit of good. Trump and his cohorts won't be held accountable. They are getting away with it. Impeachment is apparently off the table and we will see more breaking of the rules and standards. As long as no one is held to account we will see worse...much worse. We are witnessing the break down of American norms and society....the radicals on the right are winning.

(11,885 posts)Who ignores the rule of law applying to him, but thinks it should apply only to his opposition. This president wants the American people to serve only him , and we need a president to serve us, and only us, and this guy serves putin and wants to claim that's ok. He's admitting this now because he knows it'll be exposed he conspired with others , enemies of this country, to win the 2016 election making him illegitimate. He's desperately trying to normalize committing crimes against our country now.

(11,885 posts)Who informed him he would soon be exposed for conspiring with Putin to get him elected. Is it Flynn, Magahn, Hope Hicks, or others that soon will have to testify. Anyone who lies will go to prison, and trump will force many more republicans to abandon him, or go down with him. Trumps now more desperate than ever because a lot more is coming out soon, and he can't stop it. He said what he said to reduce the damage from committing treason. He's not for America, it's all another act from trump and a lie.

(23,102 posts)Certainly not the Russian/Repug traitorous version now being run by Barr. We are no longer a nation of laws when Repug Senate refuses to protect our elections because they affirmatively embrace foreigners stealing the elections for future acts that help the country (Russia, SA, Israel) but is against America's best interests.
