Have you noticed that the Trump/Russian CONSPIRACY theory of collusion has now disappeared on MSNBC and CNN this week?

It's generally considered good manners to minimize criticism during foreign visits.
I mean, trump obviously didn't get the memo...

Not true. They are still bashing him all hours. Evidently they have decided the Russian issue was incorrect and all fake news.

I think the correct phrase is under investigation, results pending...

MSNBC and CNN might just take pity on the poor man! Last week he got of AirForce1 and kept on walking on the tarmac away from the limo. He started wandering on stage somewhere in Poland confusing the Secret Service guys. It is clear proof that the man might have some deeper mental issues that could be related to his age, something like say...he's senile or about! In such case people tend to be more attentive and sometimes even comforting regardless of the past!

They waited for Air Force One to land Sunday and started shooting at him over Russia again. These guys sure are sticking to their guns on this. It will be fun watching Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC go down to defeat on this issue.

He might have been scorched a couple of times, but a few days later we realize their actually is no "no" there. Never saw teflon get scorched and still keep him safe And let's remember DTJ did not ever have to report who he ever met with.

As long as the powers that be are still getting something out of his being in office, Trump will stay no matter how strong the evidence is. Right now, he's serving as a useful distraction. Congress puts together absolute shit bills? Never mind, look at this other hand and the crap he's spewing on Twitter! Classic misdirection.

He will be teflon. The investigation will hit a dead end. They will find tons of smoke, but no fire. However, a large portion of people will believe that there is something there, no matter what happens in the investigation - just as a large portion of people believe Hillary was doing whatever, even though several investigations didn't prove anything.
The fact is, Congress sucks ass at investigations and they really are useless wastes of time.

And many people believe she had intent. And often you can prove that. Many, many, many people believe that Hillary's misdeeds were intentional, and always will. Many, many, many people will always believe that DT colluded with the Russians, no matter what the investigation reveals. So CNN and other news won't have to eat crow.

except with Hillary there was actually this thing called "evidence". And a law official that said she violated the law (but didn't have "intent").

Meh, it took a couple of years to take Nixon down. But, with Trump's son & son-in-law rumored to also be in trouble, it's going to be a BIG show. Pop your popcorn, & let's watch this show together...

I read the transcripts, and he does talk a lot about intent and her carelessness, and because of lack of intent there is no crime. I guess you can kind of read it either way.

Let's keep Trump. At least he keeps his shit show front and center, so we can all be horrified. Pence will quietly work with a republican congress to turn back the clocks to 1940 and no one will even know until we are prosecuting homosexuality and encourage men to give there wives a smack if they get out of line.

That is assuming Republicans will continue to control the House and Senate. That may not be the case after the elections next year. Time shall tell.

That is assuming Republicans will continue to control the House and Senate. That may not be the case after the elections next year. Time shall tell. Yes, Republicans losing control of Congress will help a lot. But (a) if someone is thinking we will find a smoking gun and Trump will duck out immediately, that gives Pence more than a year to do some damage. And (b) democrats don't traditionally do well in years that don't also have a presidential election, nor are they making a really good play right now. They are just coming across and whiney and combative. The only chance we really have is if people who vote are more pissed off at whatever Republicans do this year than they are at whatever democrats say they are going to do. Winning is not a given, although a lot of dems seem like they think it is.

I don't think winning is a give. I actually think trump staying makes winning more likely. I have to weigh that against a continuing republic.

Would he duck out to save jr and sil treason charges? I don't think so. First off, like other's alluded. They'll find a ton of smoke, but no fire. Second..if he wanted to protect his kids, he would have never have encouraged his kids to leave their jobs to help them in the white house.

Would he duck out to save jr and sil treason charges? We will have to see what evidence surfaces. It will have to be super damn ing and super clear cut, otherwise Trump will (or at least think he can) talk his way around it. My biggest fear is a sudden fatal medical event. Not that I am commenting on his health or anything, but it wouldn't be unheard of for a 71 year old man in a stressful situation to have a heart attack or stroke, and then, booyah, we wake up tomorrow with a self righteous alter boy on steroids as our leader. Ugh.

Are you not reading the news gira? I've been scanning headlines. Not much time to read things in depth. But, I also would be surprised if something damning comes from all of this. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's rug swept. Like it or not, we live in a time when people in powerful positions think they are above the law and can do whatever they want. And generally, unless it's something major with pretty indisputable evidence that isn't open to interpretation..., they can and do get away with whatever they want. Because that's just the kind of world we live in right now. I don't for one second believe that just because Trump's sound bite he's draining the swamp doesn't mean he's holding himself to a higher standard. He's still part of it. People were just too dumb to fall for his words.
