https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142231390Cell signal puts Cohen outside Prague around time of purported Russian meeting
So if Cohen met and paid off hackers along with Kremlin officials in the late
Summer of 2016 at the behest of Donald Trump will that be enough to make
Trump backers give up on him? Or is the real crime Hillary's email server?

(13,420 posts)Cohen being in Prague and everything in the Steele Doosier being true will not change his bases opinion of him. They do not care about how he won. They only care that he is a dumb racist just like they are.

And to be able to write yet another tiresome story about what they witnessed and what truth really is, this time really.

both Jared and Ivanka in Europe around that time.
The famous picture of Wendy Deng (Vlad's girlfriend and the former Mrs. Murdoch)
and Ivanka in Sofia, Bulgaria was from around that time.

(70,504 posts).... in Prague in order to rig the elections how many will tune into Rush/Hannity to learn the real
truth and that this is all a deep state conspiracy being spread through Hillary's email server and
the liberal media to make Trump look bad.
Do you ever stop to think this is the biggest criminal operation in the history of the world?

(10,749 posts)in a Hitler uniform, complete with black mustache and swastika banners, and they would still cheer, adding Sieg Heil to their chants. So, no, nothing will change their minds. Not when the Secretary of State talks about fighting until the rapture and they all keep fear mongering about black and brown people. Not when the Big Lies keep coming, and even as they keep changing. They are going to remain steadfast in their cultish obsession.

(22,976 posts)There is NOTHING that would make Trumpists turn away from their leader.
The right-wing feedback system (Fox, hate radio, Russian trolls, etc.) reinforces daily their delusional beliefs, with non-stop florid tales of the latest attacks to malign and undermine their heroic, embattled Leader, who is fighting a desperate, defensive campaign against the Soros-funded, Obama/Clinton-led, godless, Deep State Democrat (sic) pedophile Armies of Darkness.
Sound insane? Of course it does, because it is. Sound far-fetched? Spend an hour reading Breitbart, or watch 10 minutes of Hannity. Take a dervish-spin through social media, using the search terms patriot and liberty, and read the unbridled, bottomless hatred in the user comments.
If you do, youll see that my first paragraph above is actually the lighter fare. American democracy is in deep trouble.
