Only problem is, if he does manage to cheat his way into a second term, that may not be merely a joke anymore.

there was a poster that said, "Somewhere there is a Russian Soldier training harder to kill you."

I never thought that guy would be training on an American golf course.

If a President Hillary had done 1/1000th of what Trump is doing, it would be in the breaking news segment every day, and she would have to answer several questions each day.

This is not over.

This far from being over.

Expect to be asked about until we get to the bottom of what he knew and when and what our response is.

Republicans are masters or denying something and waiting things out. It just doesn't bother them because they know people will move on.

that Oleg Deripaska and (I bet) Putin, too, are holding over his head.

My suspicion is that Putin has maneuvered somehow to take over all trump's debt. And he now holds that power over trump's phony "blond" Brillo-pad-topped head. And he's calling the shots on some things - like suppression of "uppity" citizens. "Here is how we do it in Russia, my friend..."

and he looked very, very nervous? A clairvoyant said that in the envelope that Putin was holding were two pieces of paper, which Putin had shown tRump: one, a list of the debt owed and, two, a very compromising and unflattering photo of a nude tRump.

Lock him up.
