If they did, they don’t think it applies to them. **Also, Watergate is something that happened to other people decades ago, and all they most likely remember is that it involved tapes and plumbers**. (bolding mine) This is part of it. The current GOP, both individual members and as an organization, do not acknowledge conservatism as having existed before Ronald Reagan’s presidency. It is understandable that they would want to distance themselves from Nixon and his attempts to subvert our democracy, but it hamstrings them in lots of ways. It’s all part of the mindset tho; remember this? > [@Karl Rove](#): > > We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do. If they want to continue to ignore the wall that is Reality, they will likely keep running into that wall. ---

> [@psychobunny](#): > > Somebody should remind him that Hillary is not the president, is not running for anything and doesn’t wield any real power. Nobody cares if she colluded with the Russians and lost. That is one of the downsides of winning; people care more if you are corrupt. The point is that most Trump supporters don’t have a clue about whether Trump’s alleged conduct actually matters, or is just a bunch of technicalities that Trump’s enemies are trying to pin on him. Trump wants to create a false equivalence to Clinton so that if/when allegations are proven against Trump, his supporters will just say “meh, Clinton did it too and libtards don’t worry about that, so Trump’s misconduct is obviously not important”. ---

Anyone else notice that he’s now creating the same false equivalence that McCain was creating? Hillary’s email investigation never had anything to do with the Russia investigation. Two separate things. If Hillary did collude with Russia to interfere with the US election last year, then we should absolutely investigate that. Looking at where we are and who ended up winning, it doesn’t seem likely. ---

This is a great subreddit for Trumps Twitter Tardation: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TrumpCriticizesTrump/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrumpCriticizesTrump/) An endless trove of the mindless shithead spouting lies, contradictions and every other flavor of bullshit in the years preceding his presidency. Pretty much everything he ever tweeted about Obama more accurately describes his abominable administration. For example: > [@](#): > > Our country is being run by total amateurs.

One of my favorite Trump bits now is from [this](http://www.thedailybeast.com/even-trumps-aides-blame-him-for-obstruction-probe-president-did-this-to-himself) article in the _Daily Beast_, where one Trump senior administration official said that the internal game plan should now be “keep him away from Twitter, dear god, keep him away from Twitter.” ---

If Hillary did collude with Russia to interfere with the US election last year, then we should absolutely investigate that. Looking at where we are and who ended up winning, it doesn’t seem likely. There are a number of memes, etc making rounds about how Obama had a ‘red phone’ to talk to russia (that he left behind) - the uranium deal with russia, etc and how that ‘they’ were able to talk to russia. There’s also a few that make the claim that Hillary’s team also had some contact with Russia during the eliection cycle. People making this shit up (or those that buy it) really can’t quite see the difference in the two sets of activities. ---

If trumpster fire wants us to investigate Hillary so bad, I have a plan. He can trade places with her, and while she’s president, they can investigate the living daylights out of her. It’s what would have happened anyway. But at least the US wouldn’t look like fools. ---

I really think that Trump and the republican party spend all of their energy in projection. It seems to me that each and every thing they accuse liberals and democrats of doing is something they themselves do, will do, or have done. What puzzles me is that they “accuse” liberals and Democrats, so does that mean they realize it’s wrong? Or are they completely oblivious? H.Clinton seems to be a particular favorite for projecting on, although Obama was given his share as well. ---

Lots of twitter tantrums in the last 24 hours. That usually presages precedes something good. Includes admitting that he is under investigation. I guess he owes some apologies for calling that fake news. I’m holding my breath. ---
