Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians, according to US officials

Hey, Donald Trump is the healthiest president ever. Or something like that.

But seriously, his parents lived to 93 & 88 respectively, which is a much better predictor than things like being overweight. You never know, of course, but his chances healthwise are pretty good.

The man’s old and unhealthy. It happens.

Longevity of your ancestors does have some weight when it comes to your own longevity, but how you take care of your body matters more.

Were his parents as obese as he is, with the same pretty terrible diet?

I don’t think that’s true, other than extreme cases.

I’d would say that this entire post would qualify as fake news, if it had come from one of those allegedly reliable main stream news sources.

Yes, if a reputable news source published an obviously sarcastic description of Trump killing prostitutes and claimed it was a real story, that would be fake news. Your logic is impeccable.

Good. Let’s get Bricker in - you and I send the $ to him. He disburses it on Jan 1, 2019.

You know, from the start I fully accepted that the Russians interfered in the election and I was in the middle on the Trump campaign’s involvement, in that I was willing to see where the evidence took things and what it showed before I passed complete judgement on Trump’s potential involvement. At some point, given all the lying and squirrely behavior in terms of meeting Russians, I figured people like Flynn and probably Manafort were up to their eyeballs but I tried to maintain a middle course that peripheral actors did some things but maybe Trump didn’t know but did try to derail the investigation, though I was starting to think he was more involved than I initially thought. But geeze, I never figured that one of his kids was in the middle of it. This changes the whole course of the investigations, though I think we’re just at the beginning of it.

I will say though, as others have pointed out, this all seems a little too pat, like the Russians or the publicist friend who set up the meeting set up Don Jr. The rather explicit verbiage of receiving info from the Russians just seems too explicit if they were trying to keep things secrets. Plus, the pop singer and his dad have denied any knowledge of any of this and the lady Russian lawyer says she was just there about adoptions, so she may have been a patsy. But we still have Don Jr. willing and able to receive the info. The unanswered questions include did Don Jr or the publicist follow up with each other about this?

Which would bring this mess back to possibly being sent by Putin to discuss the repealing of the Magnitsky Act, signed by Obama, should Big Daddy get himself elected.

It’s written that way (“too pat”) because:

  1. It’s a put-up job. It’s fake, the entire email chain.
  2. The Russians made it explicit so they would have a genuine sword hanging over DJTjr’s head.
  3. The Russians made it explicit because they think DJTjr is a complete idiot who needs things spelled out in complete detail.

Take your pick.

Extreme cases, like living a completely different lifestyle than your parents did? Trump’s parents did not have access to taco bowls. People tended to live a similar lifespan to their parents because they also tended to live a similar lifestyle.

Now, I hope that that is true, as all of my ancestors on this side of the last century died in their 90’s or early 100’s, so I wouldn’t mind getting some of that action myself.

But, I did smoke for nearly 20 years, I don’t eat all that healthy, and my exercise “regime” has been overthrown by protesters. I don’t know that I’m gonna make it quite as far down the track as they did.

I’ve never really heard the theory before that it doesn’t really matter what you do with your body, and that it is mostly how long your ancestors lived that determine your longevity.

Sure. World Net Daily is the only source you can believe;

“Obama Building ‘FEMA Concentration Camps’”
"Gays Behind the Holocaust and Preparing to Lead the Next One "
“Norway Terrorist Attacks a ‘Fabrication’ by the Victims”

This is Putin playing one of the cards in his hand.

He has material on all in the trump family and administration, and just released this little tidbit, just enough to get junior in trouble, to get his minion trump back in line.

Maybe. What do you expect this getting “back in line” is going to consist of?

Peddling Trump Brand Vodka.

Maybe the full Herod’s Curse, what with the worms, the boils, the maggots, the whole nine cubits? Checkmate, atheists!

Stolen. Facebooked.

Meh. Heart attack fairy. I already sent my letter to the North Pole. With a whole LIST of houses I want him to visit.

BTW, I get that, broadly speaking, it’s illegal for a campaign to solicit or accept material assistance from foreign sources. Is it likewise illegal for a foreign national to offer or provide it?

Is this to be Junior’s defense? Out of curiosity, Okrahoma, do you believe that assisting law enforcement was his motive?
