Yeah, on Melania, every night.
LOL! They have separate bedrooms and it's highly unlikely she lets him touch her anymore. Plus, no one is winning in that scenario. It's a vomitous concept. You're a tainted, filthy, disgusting, dark-minded (covetous?) pervert for even thinking about it.

Hey, don't interfere with their fantasies. I come in every morning for my laugh of the day. These guys couldn't think for themselves if their lives depended on it. Every day a new story, every day they're believed 100 percent. They've far exceeded any definition of useful idiot that could ever be expressed.
Useful idiot? You mean like Trumpublicans enabling/cheering a completely corrupt, treasonous, bigoted, hate and fear mongering, inept, know nothing?

The conspiracy theory raving was epic the whole time, too. It was completely political, as the GOP has admitted, as well.

The best part of the current imbroglio is how the Right Ravers go on about how Hillary is the real Russian stooge & how wiretapping a guy who wasn't part of the campaign was a nefarious Hillary/Obama/FBI/DoJ deep state attack on the Trump campaign from the Republicans running the Special Counsel investigation that didn't exist until the election was over.

Not at all weird that a Russian oligarch would pay tens of millions over the appraised value for a property that he never even bothered to have inspected, performed any due diligence on, never lived in, and has since demolished.

I have no idea if this is anything corrupt but it sure stinks at least on the surface. Smart to investigate this along with the other more blatant corruption.

You always go straight to the personal attacks and insults, ever thought about an anger management class? That's a lot of rage you're lugging around.

LOL! If you're not enraged by the Plague and his Festering Plague Wounds, you're not paying attention.

Also, do you think you're Trump? Is that how you feel personally attacked? Or is it that you are allowed to call people useful idiots but you're too delicate to be called one in return? ... Both... is it both? I bet it's both. Both then.

Has there been a smoking gun yet? How long is this investigation going to continue? Its been close to or over a year now and no hard evidence has been found. Is this whole investigation with Mueller the Democrats version of Ken Starr like the Republicans had back in the '90's? At least Ken found something.
What's more likely:

a) there's been no hard evidence found
b) there's been hard evidence found that hasn't been leaked/released to the public

Think hard on this one.

Will you provide soothing ointment for the parties who choose option b but shouldn't?:p

This had been in the news some time ago. The buyer was attempting to dump a bunch of money in an effort to keep his wife from collecting big time. He effectively laundered money to Trump. Hard to say if Trump committed a crime here. Who wouldn't have taken advantage.

Me. I live my life trying (successfully) to not gain at someone else's expense. That would be a scummy thing to get involved with.

Oh, please.

For $170 a month, I'd drop any pretense of being fiscally conservative and ignore a three trillion dollar giveaway to the .01%.

Oh wait, that wasn't me...

I think I'd agree as well.
There are much better things that could have been done with the money given away in the tax cuts.
In example, they could cure every single person in the US of hepatitis C and still have about 90% of that tax cut money to play with.

Meh. It may well just have been that Trump couldn't believe his good fortune at the offer. Of course he took it. His only concern was if the buyer could pay.

True enough. Ignorance of the law may be his downfall. He's still an evil hearted prick, evil enough to not care about the details especially if it could come between him and money.

Why do people say “no hard evidence found”? Has Mueller said that? He may very well have a whole bunch of hard evidence. We just don’t know.

But four charges and two guilty pleas so far is a hell of a start. It’s my guess that it’s just a very deep rabbit hole.

it's also just one example of hundreds of Russians and others laundering money through trump properties.

If Florida real estate sales work the same as they do in California, any broker can get all of the details of the transaction in seconds. This particular investigation should have been complete half an hour after someone decided to look into it.

Ken found that Clinton received blowjobs from an intern. He found nothing related to the initial investigation of actual pruported crimes. You guys seem to forget that when real law people are in charge, real investigations take time. 3 indictments already, 30 currently sealed in DC court, and at least 2 cooperating witnesses (that we know of), due to Mueller's work.

How many indictments did Starr's "investigation" manage in less than a year?

That's amazing! I for one am comforted by this as it means no money laundering takes place through real estate transactions in Florida or California. After all, investigations into it only take seconds, meaning the perpetrators are certain to be caught.
