[Peter - f*** off. Your lectures are 100 times more boring, absurd, insulting &/or repetitive than anything you complain about. Next asinine post like this gets deleted in full. Current one edited down just so passersby can see how useless...- PP]

Art, your lectures are becoming more didactic, boring, arrogant and inaccurate.... I attack the spittle flecked BS spewing from the snowflake resistance ...Your continuing ego-stroking of someone hiding in the desert from a failed life waiting for a inheritance bailout ....

In reply to Thanks again for proving OK

I have a very specific reason for feeling like oceankat does, that most of your comments sound idiotic. You defend Trump and the Republican Congress as if they are one and the same and are following some kind of plan together. I see evidence every single day that they are not. I even also see evidence that his own administration is not doing what he says they are doing. Here's just one of today's examples:

President Trump says Republicans might announce another tax cut before the midterms. But Congress is out of session until the election and party lawmakers don’t seem to know what he’s talking about.https://t.co/8pXKqIAKy0

If you were making a reasonable tax cuts et. al argument like this guy, I would take it seriously. But you fall for and then push ridiculous Trump demagoguery that is not reality, that is just plain made up stories and lies. You're clearly not interested in reality but in demagoguery, becoming the idiot mark of a con and then serving the con. That is why I ridicule a lot of the things you say, you just don't come off serious and you come off stupid. Look, the guy lies, lies every day, many times, says he's doing stuff he's not doing and vice versa, it's just that simple! Anybody falling for it like there is some kind of program instead of crazytown chaos just looks stupid.

In reply to Well wow, Peter - welcome to

Conflating general crime and punishment in the US with a political inquisition at the highest level of the DOJ is weak and a diversion. The Manafort case was opportunistically dragged into the witch-hunt for a PR display even though there was no connection to the Russian election meddling investigation mandate. You are trying again to use guilt by association in the Manafort/Ukraine scandal to infer a Russian connection. Manafort worked for and was paid by the Ukrainian leader not Putin. Marcy Wheeler at EW tried to sell the snake oil claim that Manafort was being paid by Putin while he worked for free for Trump, total rubbish. Both Podesta brothers are associates of the grifter Clintons and both may be responsible in their Ukraine lobbying scandal. I just watched an interview with the KSA FM who showed they were taking full responsibility for this tragedy and promising a full investigation wherever the chips may fall. Too many people have already passed judgment on this outrageous act with little clear information only rumor and speculation. I am certain we will never see this type of response from Iran, Russia or China who are the only powers who may benefit from this murder.There are too many people who believe that the KSA should be forced to sit on their hands while an Iran backed Hezbollah like extremist minority group takes over Yemen by force. There are many good reasons to dislike the KSA but even they have the right to intervene to keep thousands of Iranian rockets from being deployed on their southern border.

I believe that people who have not been charged with a crime and have not pleaded guilty to any crime are innocent. I believe that people who have been charged with a crime, can afford and have good legal representation, who then plead guilty to that crime are guilty.

You know what, Peter? it doesn't matter - payoffs are payoffs, for true reasons or not - Trump hid payments during campaign season, so he's guilty of illegal campaign donations. Cohen has been testifying to this. That Mueller hasn't indicted a sitting President while under a bunch of threats to be fired comes as no surprise. But all of the evidence is piling up - Cohen is Mueller's bitch now. Just a matter of time before the next round of more serious indictments, plea bargains, and if needed, trials & convictions.

Well wow, Peter - welcome to

Well wow, Peter - welcome to America's justice system - simple Google tells you "about 90% of cases end in a plea bargain, and of those going to trial, 90% end in a guilty verdict".
So are you going to pull out a new standard of cases "convicted of a crime by jury" to be valid? Presumably you're not this naïve and poorly read, are you? or you think I'm that stupid?
BTW - you have the wrong Podesta - truly, you are getting sloppy. Manafort's Ukraine activity "have nothing to do with Russia"? hitting bizarroland, indeed.
Re: regimes murdering journalists and dissidents, probably Russia is ahead, and China's atrocities in Xinjiang are much much worse in both numbers and kind, but like all these things, you're just lucky if someone notices one - bombing civilians in Yemen has hardly been pretty. But it highlights the danger of having a President who's captured by backroom deals with all these countries, including North Korea. Yet you keep supporting him for some reason. What happened to your 60's idealism and appreciation for *real* go-against-the-flow?

In reply to It's been well-established

Wasn't there a love-child that verified the relationship in the Edward's scandal? Stormy was selling her accusation for profit without any evidence that it was true. The cheap payoff that she took for her non-disclosure leads me to think she was just a gold digger.

In reply to Trump not convicted, at least

You are wallowing in a dirty fantasy, PP. Only one of Trump's associates has been convicted of a crime by a jury trial and Manafort's crimes had nothing to do with Trump, his campaign or the Russians. It's ironic that Manafort has been flipped by Mueller and may testify against Podesta if he is tried for his foreign lobbying crimes. Do you believe that Crooked Hillary should be viewed as guilty by association in this case? The outrageous Saudi murder of this journalist is Trump's most challenging FP dilemma so far. The US/Saudi alliance is too important to allow a complete destruction of relations The only powers who would benefit would be Iran, Russia and China. but the Saudis must face some punishment even if the King or MBS didn't order the murder. I still think this could have been an attempt to undermine MBS's modernization agenda or a stupid attempt to help MBS by silencing a loud opposition voice.
