Why do so many view 47 as good?

Yep. Eggs are the only food item I've seen drop down in price after a multi-month recovery from the last round of hen genocide issued due to bird flu. Everything else stays jacked-up after the original "good reason" for it has long since faded. Once an opportunity arises, exploit it to the hilt.

That's the way pricing works. You have inflation, workers want a pay raise, then people want prices to go down. They can't, you have permanently increased the costs.

One thing that stands out is what people will do to deny the obvious.

Trump's popularity is about empowerment; his supporters feel empowered.

And if we listen to what Trump supporters, and even conservatives from before Trump, say, the empowerment is largely infamous, but for some reason we are supposed to pretend that doesn't happen.

As a result, people trying to protect Trump supporters can easily end up insulting them. For instance, it's important to some people that, despite all the evidence continually offered up not just by Trump and his movement, but conservatives over the course of thirty, forty, even sixty years, the one thing it can't be is the one thing it always looks and sounds and acts like.

Thus, in order to ignore the perpetual presence of traditionalist chauvinism and emotion, we are apparently to accept they are warped, morally corrupted, and stupid; no, they're not racist, goes the justification, just awful. And, yeah, that's the thing, that's the defense of Trump voters, not the criticism.
 
If the Epstein list is made public Trump can not use the list as leverage over people who are on the list.
 
Ghislaine Maxwell, the one person so far convicted during this whole Epstein matter, for trafficking etc, is now looking for her conviction to be overturned, or at least be given a new trial, because Trump has stated that the "Epstein list is a hoax" - or some such claim along the lines of there being no list. So Maxwell is making the argument "well, if there was no list, no clients, who am I supposed to have trafficked them to?"
Maxwell has threatened Trump with releasing what she knows if her appeal to SCOTUS doesn't go her way, and it was then that Trump seemed to offer her this "out" by claiming the list was a hoax etc. So we'll see how it all plays out, but chances are there will be no release of the information - at least until the Dems own the two chambers.

There's also the recent vote by the House's Rules committee that voted not to allow a vote in the House regarding the release of the files. The Republicans, who have previously been clamouring for the release of the files, all - bar one - voted to not allow a full vote in the House. All the Dems voted for the vote.
Ah, well.

Cover up? Nah, nothing to see here. Honestly, guv. Nothing at all. Trust me! :rolleyes:
 
Craig Unger has made a pretty strong case for "Krasnov." It reminds me of the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea:

In Moscow, 47 never had a garbanzo on his face.

Counterpoint, and not quite just for the fuck of it: Is there anything Trump has done in either of his presidential terms that actually requires his nuts be caught in Puti-Toots' wringer?

I know, I know, All Signs Point To Yes, but how much can be explained by questions of dirt or patronage among any number of Republicans, with Trump as the noncompetent puppet dummy?

There's a certain amount of ¡Well, duh! about the idea of dirt on Trump, but except for the curious love affair with Russia that started emerging among conservatives before Trump↗¹, this is pretty much the inevitable produce of the Reagan Awakening.

Putin didn't need to seed a left-wing dissent in the U.S.; he only needed encourage conservatives to be themselves.

But with the GOPSOP (Republcian Sex Offender Parade), sure, the idea that someone has something on any number of people seems obvious. But it's like, Putin needs a Democrat to roll on liberal principles, but only needs a Republican to keep on keepin' on.

Corruption is as corruption will, but it's not Russia that will destroy us that way.

excellent point
i think when he took miss world to ruzzia he probably partied with underage girls and putin has him on video doing it.

lets see if he puts Sanctions on ruzzia, if i was betting my own money i would say no he wont, but he will pretend to be going to and never do it.

Okay, but you do know that in the US they go month/day, right? I mean, I got your initial quip, and I'd have hoped you'd have understood mine, but, here you are, trying to explain your original comment?? Sure. Whatever.
