fax from your computer page! I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people faxed this to a bunch of R Senators. It would clog up their toilets!

Trump Humper I had the misfortune to meet the next time I see him. He told me he "hadn't seen anything conclusive" on Russia (or something like that). I have a hard time remembering what idiots say to me.

Thank you for pulling this all together.

Since this is the first time Democrats have gone after a Republican scandal since Iran Contra, so if there's something there, I hope they follow through until the end.

43. Great minds: 140 Paths to Putin

April 17, 2017 thetrumpwatchdog

I started making this list out of sheer curiosity of how many different paths there were. At 18, I thought to myself that there couldn’t be many more. A few of these are just rumors or probably mean nothing (1, 22, 25, 31) but the sheer number of Russian mobsters who have lived at Trump tower and the fact that 5 people have had to resign , I thought I was done. For me to get to 99 (and counting) is astonishing.

Honestly the discovery that surprised me the most is the Abramoff connection. I’m beginning to think that the Russians partnered with the Republican party in the 1990s to build an alliance for reasons not yet known.
