And the "No feckin shit Sherlock" award goes to Morning Joe. Many of us have been saying this for months and months and months. Just a quick thought though, does Mueller have the power to subpoena Trump's tax returns? Has he already?

What reason would he have to do so given that he just started his work ?

I'm not going to get into a debate about the intelligence of people who voted for Trump.
What I will say, is the people who still support him and think he's doing a good job need to have their intelligence questioned.

This is the fairest statement on the matter. A vote for Trump could've simply been an anti-establishment choice, thinking D.C. needed a shakeup (which it does) assuming there'd be enough professionals around to contain him and keep the government functional.

But to not see this regime for what it is at this point is inexcusable.

Marquee La Fayet. Is he from Liverpool? I thought he owned Harrods in London, England but it turns out that England isn't actually a place. Is a marquee a place? Sounds like fun, let's go there. I'm not doing anything important anyway. As long as their President Theresa Villiers isn't there everything should be fine. Can't go within 100 feet of her after my drunk conduct last time, but it wasn't real vodka I'm sure of it. It was fake. Fake booze.
 
He's our marquis signing, Mr Pij. :D

Looks like Macron has no backbone in all honesty. Surprising.

And I suspect we won't find out what Mueller has found out for a good while unless it's something so blatantly obvious that they rush the White House and arrest them all.
 
These republicans on AC360 right now pulling a hardcore "nothing to see here" on Junior.

"Well, he said he'd have done things differently on Hannity"

Yeah... after he lied about it and got caught. Sure he would.
 
At this point, given how little Republican voter support of Trump has changed despite everything, you have to wonder what, if anything, could actually change their minds. Or maybe it's down to the success of outlets like Fox and others in crafting the message - maybe only them changing will see things shift.

The thing about his support is that it isn't likely to change overnight. It will take a persistent drip drip of more and more problems related to him and the Russians as well as a simultaneous recognition that his policy agenda will get derailed that will slowly erode his base support. His overall support will not go lower than the 30s as there are just a group of core Fox News/Talk Radio nutters who are getting fed propaganda on a daily basis. Then again, that would put him in the same ball park as Nixon before he quit to avoid impeachment.
 
President Donald Trump misstated key details about an oil pipeline he approved to present the project as part of a strategy to undercut Russia.

“Dakota Access takes it to the Pacific,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Wednesday night, according to excerpts released by the White House of what was originally an off-the-record conversation. "Who do they compete with? Russia."

Correct, support will have to weaken before it declines. But I do wonder if the polarization is so strong now - and he does everything he can to increase that - that he'll get backing from Republicans no matter what, whether reluctantly or fervently. The best hope politically is that Independents are so completely put off by him that it swings the pendulum soon. Only if they feel under threat will GOP reps and senators actually vote against him. They've got too much to lose otherwise and will only follow where the wind blows.
 
A nice summary article from the Washington Post on DJT, Jr, Kush and their legal teams. Couple of highlights below:

1) Conmen gonna con:
"Another question is who will pay the legal fees for the president and administration officials involved in the Russia inquiries. Some in Trump’s orbit are pushing the Republican National Committee to bear the costs, said three people with knowledge of the situation, including one who euphemistically described the debate as a “robust discussion.”

2) DJT struggles to comprehend the importance of honesty when dealing with law enforcement officials:
"Trump is now the highest elected official in the nation, and with that outsize perch comes potentially outsize consequences. His legal team is trying to impress upon him and those in his orbit that there could be severe ramifications for lying to federal investigators or congressional committees."

That last paragraph...

"The president also blamed the Obama administration for his son’s troubles, arguing that if the Obama Justice Department hadn’t granted the Russian lawyer entry into the country so she could represent a Russian businessman federal court, the meeting wouldn’t have happened in the first place"

"hey listen if you're gonna let these Russian dudes in the country OF COURSE we're gonna talk to them and try and get our election rigged WTH!"

What a way to defend yourselves - basically stating outright you can't be trusted. :wenger:

They're shitting themselves.

From interviews I have seen of a lot of his supporters, I would say many of them are in denial. I suppose seeing him for what he is would involve admitting to themselves what a mistake they have made.

So they might not lack intelligence, but they are, at this point, willfully ignorant.
