Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I know, right? Giuliani has to be playing some kind of a long game here, or else he's just so hopelessly out-of-touch that he doesn't even know what a crime is. Which for certain members of Trump's inner circle I wholly believe, but not Giuliani.
... really hope that Kushner going down takes Ivanka down. She's the one I'm most worried about.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I think Rudy may simply be going for the fact that the cover up will be worse than the crime. Clinton, after all, paid off all of his mistresses and that was never impeachable.
I think the only one he didn't was Elizabeth Gracen (of Highlander, Ms. America fame)

In other news, Trump Handed the Agenda to Conservatives and They Blew It
.
I found this part amusing: "As the first and probably only stretch of complete Republican control of government nears its end, a grim melancholy has crept over many regular Republicans, who are wondering why they have so little to show for it. They have temporarily let up on enforcing regulations on pollution, labor law, and campaign finance, as every Republican administration does. And they have given wealthy people a large tax cut, as every Republican administration also does. But these measures are easily reversed and will not leave much of an imprint on the role of government in American life. Is this all there is?"
A little light to illuminate an otherwise grim political scene.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.Hey! Field Artillery is a thinking man's job, at least for the officers. Direct your accusations of no brainpower required at the Infantry and MPs, like the rest of us do.

The Republican Party has existed solely as a platform to campaign for the rich who will reward you with jobs as well as technically legal kickbacks for awhile now. The fact they have no agenda beyond this shouldn't be a surprise.
The Inner Party wants power for its own sake.

Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Another one of Trump's lawyers has quit, at least retired. Ty Cobb will be replaced by one of Clinton's impeachment lawyers.

I now have a thing I support about the Trump administration.
He is destroying countless careers of Asshole Victims.

Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Trump should ask for them to put cameras in.
Mind you, hilariously, the actual offices of Trump's business were trashy looking (more like the Boiler Room and I don't mean the movie) so they the network built the big Don Corleone classic looking set for Trump to work out of.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Hehehehehehe
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.Someone wrestled the phone away from Trump this morning.
He's going to be furious when he finally gets it back.

I trust Rudy knows more about coverups and how to dodge the law than Trump.
