So things really started to get interesting last week. We had bombshell after bombshell. The biggest being there was a Trump Tower Moscow in the works meaning that Trump was lying every time he said he had no business dealings with Russia during the campaign. It’s even been reported that Putin was promised a $50 million apartment as a reward for getting the deal done. That would be illegal! Some Trump supporters are saying since there was no building built, then there’s nothing illegal that happened. Well, if you and others planned to rob a bank but it did not happen, you’re still guilty of conspiracy to rob that bank! This along with Papadopoulus going to jail, the Manafort cooperation deal blowing up and the information coming out that Cohen is cooperating nicely made for a crazy week.
I have found someone who explains this whole Trump/Russia situation very well, including the developments from last week. Her name is Marcy Wheeler and her blog is called Empty Wheel. I highly recommend her blog because her discussions on this topic are informative and not hard to understand.
Marcy Wheeler also did an interview with the Pod Save America guys last week to explain the Manafort happenings that really helped me understand it. I know some of you are not fans of the PSA guys, but this interview is worth listening to to understand what happened last week. Give this interview a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
Yo, Collusion! — Pod Save America
Now on to some random tweets for discussion starters:
This could be good!
No clue why this guy was chosen to be the grand marshall in the first place. So glad they dumped him for the young hero!
I think this proves McConnell is either compromised or he’s just truly EVIL … or both!
Glaring difference, huh???
I agree!
OK guys …. chat away! I will be in and out. I have a busy Monday. :-)
