Another MOST intriguing read, H2O Man!

Thanks for this. You're certainly correct about the near future of this new year. Get out the popcorn...

So far, it strikes me that Robert Mueller is a real pro who follows that "lawyers' rule" -

Never ask a question that you don't already know the answer to.

I've heard lots of speculation that Mueller may already have the tax returns. I'd bet he does. Robert Mueller is a seasoned pro whose track record entitles him to be taken VERY seriously. He's not some rube that trump's used to pulling a con upon, or some subcontractor trump plans to stiff because he simply doesn't feel like paying for work that was done. Mueller wasn't born yesterday.

I bet you're right!

trump has never had to deal with somebody like Mueller. I heard some talking head this morning opine about how trump is accustomed to dealing with some low-ranking assistant district attorney in Manhattan whom he can bully, try to impress by throwing his weight around, or maybe cross a few palms with a few extra pieces of silver. He's never been up against somebody like Robert Mueller. He's in so far over his head on this that he might as well try to build a hotel/casino at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Yes indeedy! I placed a pre-order with Barnes & Noble. Because I want to savor every page.

Instead of having to wait a week, I can now go get it TOMORROW!!!

Quite literally: "A picture's worth a thousand words."

DANG!

Pence doesn't look particularly exhilarated about being there, either.

Claude Taylor is one Twitter page I check frequently.

He's described as a "veteran of 3 presidential campaigns, served on White House staff (Clinton)." His Twitter page: @TrueFactsStated
His sources are solid enough that he's been ahead of some of this by weeks, even a few months. If nothing else, his feed is often most interesting reading.

Truly. MAJOR stink-eye!

Welcome to DU, BallardWA!

LOL!

They've certainly all been issued their presidential kneepads, haven't they!

What a cool story!

Welcome to DU, Markmakers!

Sure hope some Dems are looking at things like this. They REALLY need to hire Lakoff as a senior advisor to the DNC.

I mentioned this at an Indivisible meeting with one of Dianne Feinstein's deputies. He behaved as though he'd never heard of the guy before. Judging from the "savvy" "expertise" of general Democratic "messaging," I'd believe him.

Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
