Legalize and tax it.

It almost like we haven't had experience with how well prohibition works.

The wall thing is playing to xenophobe Bible thumpers and nothing more.

Yes & yes.


Could not agree more.

if there's anything american history shows us, it's that we're not very good at learning from american history.

The motto of the world should be We who ignore the past are happy to repeat it.

Amongst the testimony in Congress this morning, a personal favorite:

Donald Trump is a man who ran for office to make his brand great, not to make our country great. He had no desire or intention to lead this nation – only to market himself and to build his wealth and power. Mr. Trump would often say, this campaign was going to be the "greatest infomercial in political history."

He never expected to win the primary. He never expected to win the general election. The campaign – for him – was always a marketing opportunity.

As is any political campaign, its nothing but a marketing opportunity from the days of the Roman Senate to any modern day "democracy". Outside of very very few people, its nearly always been about power and what they can get for themselves.

Yeah, you're totally right. All this, completely typical. Same as usual. *

It is true there's better things to talk about, though. Assholes like this do not deserve our time or care. I move for the thread to be ended. Just like the Presidency.

If you repeat it enough on the TV, it becomes the narrative in the court of public opinion and there for true enough, no matter the actual truth of the matter

Ha, well tons of real ways the Trump House of Cards falls: broke campaign finance laws, broke the emoluments clause, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, money laundering, and Insurance fraud...

Most people make the comparison to Capone, who eventually went to prison for Tax Evasion. That's valid here, Trump is a fraud. He's also a very fortunate benefactor from Russia, as well as Wikileaks, really despising Clinton.

The whole Russian Collusion overload from the CNN's and the Rachel Maddow's and the Clinton's of the world is such a smokescreen. It became a great way for them to sidestep the fact that what was actually leaked was True: that the DNC colluded with Clinton from the get go and they sand-bagged Sanders. Which everyone could plainly see anyway. I was personally happy to see it proven, definitely not the reason the election was lost.

[saucers]

So the head of the trump campaign sharing polling data with Russian intel officials doesn't count as conspiracy (collusion)?
