Okay - “Hussein Bolt”?
BeenJammin is the Yogi Berra of malapropisms.
Excuse me, his name is Yogert Berra.
You know, Hussein Barack Bolt?
Mmmm… berry yoghurt…
This is all revisionist nonsense.
There were any number of people who thought these exact things. It’s trivial to find them on this very message board, if you’re not trying to back away from it without anyone noticing.
Guy claiming that (the dossier alleges that) Trump paid for the DNC hackers here. (This was defended in subsequent posts.)
Woman (one of the Great Minds of recent discussions here, actually) claiming that Trump meant the “get Clinton’s emails” literally here (and again, supported in subsequent discussion).
I understand the motivation to rewrite history when it’s not panning out the way you were so confident that it would. But the proper approach is to face up to it.
There was a frozen yogurt place near where I used to live called Humphrey Yogart.
History hasn’t “panned out” at all yet.
You first, dipshit.
That’s true, and you never know.
But the point is that the initial excitement was over the notion that Trump was implicated in stuff much more serious than what we’re talking about now. As time elapsed without anything coming forth along those lines, there’s been something of a fallback to focusing on how this other stuff is also Very Bad. Which is fine in and of itself, but should be acknowledged as the fallback position that it is, and without bogus claims that “no one ever thought” what were once widely held positions.
Mueller has just subpoenaed the Trump Organization for records concerning their Russia dealings. No idea where your confidence comes from, unless it’s from only watching Fox.
I don’t think this is good analysis.
At the beginning of the investigation, virtually nothing was known. No indictments, no plea deals, etc. So of course there’s lots of wild speculation. There was also plenty of assertions that this would turn up nothing significant.
Now, it’s clear, I think, that it’s turning up a lot of criminal behavior. It’s not clear how much of that is linked to Trump, and how closely, but now that we know a lot more, then it refines the speculation and theorizing a bit. I think that’s a pretty logical progression for observers, and not “fallback”.
I’ve been saying for almost two years now that Donald Trump is a Putin Patsy, a Russian agent (wittingly or otherwise), who is doing his best to destroy the NATO alliance and the United States while swimming in a sea of money from the Russian Mob.
Nothing that’s come out in the last two years, including what little we’ve heard from the Mueller Investigation, has disproved those accusations. The fact that Mueller has not yet publicly charged Donald with anything doesn’t mean that those charges are not pending or under investigation, as evidenced by the recent subpoena for Trump Organization.
But you go ahead and keep fucking that chicken, Barmy.
Hey, don’t look at me. Right now there’s people claiming this is and has always been all about some lower level relatively minor collusion.
You’re really being dissed here - it’s almost like you don’t even exist. Go tell 'em.
I know that I don’t exist. I’m cool with it.
Your problem is that you and your endless Donald apologia also exist. We can all see who it is in all these threads who has been making excuses, carrying water, playing “what about …” and just generally promoting Donald’s talking points for the last two years. That would be you, Barmy. You’re the one spreading Donald’s bullshit around. And we can all see it.
Everyone knows that horrible, constant, stench is coming from you.
Well I’m cool with that too.
So all is good.
And there are people that believe all the lunar landings were hoaxes. So fucking what? Keep spreading the disinformation. Who is it that commonly said “people say” or “I have heard” to legitimize outlandish claims when speaking in public.
I will accept Mueller if his conclusion is there is “no there there”. Tons of smoke but no fire. I rate that deeply unlikely but I will accept it (unlike say the “Nunes” charade). By the same token, it is highly likely that Mueller’s investigation will conclusively prove that Trump and his org and his family are up to their eyeballs in money laundering and bailouts from Russia.
We are not talking about collusion or even obstruction, although let the evidence be shown. What we are talking about is a *traitor *selling out America to our long standing rival and enemy (with some periods of detente) Russia.
Additionally, Drumpf Junior’s wife is filing for divorce and has hired a criminal lawyer. Interesting choice of attorneys, if it’s ONLY for divorce proceedings.
Hmmmm
A *criminal *lawyer?? Interesting. The plot thickens.
Well, they’re basically all criminals. But Vanessa Trump has reportedly retained David Feureisen, a criminal defense lawyer, to represent her during the divorce.
