Had a recent trip to Colorado, loved being in the mountains!

Breaking news out tonight, that rich weasel who claimed to be working with Mike Flynn when trying to get Hillary emails in collusion with Russia…also claimed to be working with many Trump folks. Collusion looks real now!
AdLib 2 hours ago
I absolutely would contact you if I came, would be great to meet you in person and chat!
AdLib 2 hours ago
I’ve always been convinced that the collusion is real; just wasn’t sure how much trump actually knew about it, other than the financial part. I truly believe he keeps calling it fake news, because he truly believes he has done nothing wrong. He just borrowed some money from Russian banks, so what’s wrong with that? And, as many foxsocallednews pundits have pointed out recently, collusion with Russia isn’t so bad; it’s not illegal, right?
glenn

That would be great, Ad.

I’ve been trying to figure out why he was so desperate to keep Flynn from being investigated, what did Flynn know that could hurt Trump? This looks like what it was, he was working with this Peter Smyth character in colluding with Russians who hacked. This looks to be pretty big news!

I just wish Mueller would hurry and get this over with,one way or the other.Trump has to go.Things can go sideways in a minute.s

Would be a lot of fun! Have heard so many great things about GA and Atlanta.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Maybe. I’m not getting my hopes up that it will come to anything. At least in Congress. It has to come from Mueller. And, you’re right; I wish he would put some speed into it. I’m guessing he’s trying to cross all his t’s and dot all his i’s so trump can’t weasel away, but as you say, the world isn’t standing still while our whiner in chief is screwing up any and all of our relationships with our allies.

I don’t know too much about Atlanta venues, but am learning about the “countryside” outside of the city.

The republicans have proven to be worse in charge than was thought.No scruples,I don’t think they are going to get away with it this time
Beatlex

Beatlex, I think this conspiracy is so wide ranging and complicated, Mueller might need to continue into next year to check out everything. I mean treason, violation of election law, Trump’s potential criminal money laundering with Russians going back years, obstruction of justice, so much to investigate! But like you, I can’t wait until he drops this bomb on Trump and his cronies! In fact, maybe it’s best that it happens closer to the 2018 elections?
AdLib 2 hours ago
Hey Beatlex–welcome back. Boy, ain’t that the truth about republicans having absolutely no scruples! Almost every time trump sinks to a new low, I think, “Can you imagine the outrage if PBO had said and done even 1/10th of the things trump has said and done?
glenn

Ad,you are right,I just don’t know what will happen in the meantime,it will probably get real ugly
Beatlex

Agreed glen, I think the Repubs in Congress will do their best to sabotage their investigations but Mueller won’t be stopped.

glenn – Really enjoyed CO and am now even more interested in countryside as well!
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–I’m of two minds about all this coming out closer to the 2018 elections, because by that time, what will have republicans done to our health care system? It’s scary to think of the damage they can do between now and then.

Canada turns 150 in scant hours.

glenn and Beatlex – But how Trump is trashing the presidency just seems to make the 2020 election to replace him more of a slam dunk. Americans will want to, ironically, make the presidency great again.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Hello glenn! I hate Trump,the worst person EVER to be President.It is truly scary

Congrats to Canada. So, Beatlex, are Canadians as enamored of their prime minister as Americans seem to be? I get a lot of gushing reports about Trudeau on my FB page. Now, mind you, I think he’s an intelligent, good-looking guy. Just wondering if Canadians feel the same way.

What kinds of celebrations are going on for the 150th?
glenn
2 hours ago
glen – I think the Repubs are already starting to run scared from messing with Healthcare and they will be hammered over the July 4th holiday. A poll came out today showing Repub Senators losing massively in 2018 if they pass a repeal of the ACA.

Beatlex–I’m with you. I hate trump with every fiber of my being. I still cannot believe he is the president. He is a danger to our country, and as Ad says, has trashed the presidency. I just hope we can get him out of there with minimal damage to our country.

Beatlex – Been istening to an internet radio station today celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday with songs from artists and about Canada. Congrats, we only love Canada more each day with each day of Trump. Millions of Americans might need to crash on Canada’s couch for the next 3 years!

And, so how most Canadians feel about his policies?

Trump’s being re-examined for asking Russia to hack Hillary’s email server, maybe he did so because it was on his mind as his people were trying to get them.
AdLib 2 hours ago
Ad–you know, the repubs have been declared in “defeat” before, yet they manage to keep pulling out wins. If they don’t pass repeal this time, I don’t think they’re ever going to give up! I just wish Dems would come out with some clear, consistent plans to fix the parts of Obamacare that need fixing, so they have something concrete to offer, instead of just saying “no”. I’m really sick of the “no” game!
glenn
2 hours ago
Ad–that very well could be, because we know trump blurts out the last thing he’s been told. So maybe people were discussing Hillary’s emails, and that’s what was on his tiny little mind. The ironic thing is he can plead ignorance, and no one would think twice about it. IOW, everyone knows he’s ignorant.

Great point glenn, Dems do have to accept that Repubs and plurocrats never give up, the war never ends, just battles within it. I do think that it’s different for The Senate than The House, Reps in the house have customized their districts to be so loyal to them they can do anything awful. But Senators have to win statewide elections and the massive backlash against Repeal and Replace is terrifying them now. As long as we can block this until the 2018 elections, we could see Dems take back one house of Congress and the threat is blocked.
AdLib an hour ago
glenn – Yes, that’s what some are saying now, that because Trump repeats what he heard last, maybe collaborating with Russia against Hillary was indeed what was being discussed just before that speech of his/
