That reminds me of the time he was in Scotland and congratulated Scotland for voting for Brexit (which they didn’t.)

I’m not saying he does no harm to America when he’s playing golf. I just said he does less harm.

I’ll just bet he does! Wonder if he’s shoveling more money into his pockets from his golf courses, or his hotels?

Cash stuffed pockets _would_ explain his ill fitting & misshapen suits…

Ted Lieu: “You did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?”

MUELLER: “That is correct.”

This is not useful with people who _don’t mind_ being hypocrites. Not in a “Song of Myself” sort of way, but in the gritty practical way that believing a certain thing yesterday provided a platform to strike at perceived enemies, and believing the opposite today is the most efficient way to do the same.

this. Evangelicals _love_ the guy, even though he is the literal embodiment of the seven cardinal sins. You think “but he golfs more than Obama did” is going to change their minds?

“What about total exoneration?” Nadler asked, referring to a phrase the president has tweeted many times. “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?”

“No,” Mueller replied.

He also confirmed that Trump refused to sit for an interview with his team.

Exactly. Only if he is caught with a dead girl or a live boy.  
…maybe just the live boy…

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the investigation into Epstein found that Trump wasn’t just a ‘client’ but ended up being a business partner bringing more marks into the trap.

Hillary running a sex slave ring under a pizza parlor? Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

Trump involved in the exploitation of young women and then blackmailed clients? Sounds like his MO. Fits him to a ‘Tee’.

Do note how Trump projects his crimes onto others.

The only correct response to the shameless frailty of the OP.

On a visit to Scotland, he told the Scottish reporters how he loved the country because his mother was “Scotch”.

You’re not very good at this. I’m actually starting to feel sorry for you.
