I don't know what Mueller knows, but the claim that these people have nothing to hide has always been rebutted by all their lying and hiding.Interesting.
Not vindication but getting votes is their goal. Almost half of Alabama voters voted for a pedophile, saying they didn't believe the stories. With such sordid actors, one would think honest politicians would have no great difficulty prevailing.I don't know what Mueller knows, but the claim that these people have nothing to hide has always been rebutted by all their lying and hiding.
If they really expected to be vindicated, it'd make no sense to tear down the reputations of those like Flynn and the FBI who'd be necessary to their vindication. Hence I assume they don't expect to be vindicated. And they know what they did.
I guess we'll see.
I know we always stress the importance of not making assumptions, but they sure do behave like guilty people, don't they?I don't know what Mueller knows, but the claim that these people have nothing to hide has always been rebutted by all their lying and hiding.

Interesting.
High blood pressure?
Donald's Achilles heel or his agent orange?I guess Flynn isnt playing the role of Trump's patsy and/or Mueller has a vice grip of crimes levelled on Flynn that he ain't doing a 180 flip.
In parallel, with Mueller's Deutsche Bank probe, you wonder if Trump's health will survive 2018.

Donald Trump was an historically sordid candidate, but 63 million Americans voted for him, and over 80 percent of Republicans still approve of his job performance. I think you underestimate the depth of the problem.Not vindication but getting votes is their goal. Almost half of Alabama voters voted for a pedophile, saying they didn't believe the stories.

Thanks. I understand liberals hold the more responsibly pragmatic positions and your point about asymmetric polarization. My meta approach is and always had been about how to combat that, via pragmatism. Using your links...Poole and Rosenthal (1984) define the basic nature of our political polarization:Donald Trump was an historically sordid candidate, but 63 million Americans voted for him, and over 80 percent of Republicans still approve of his job performance. I think you underestimate the depth of the problem.
I've teased you over your devotion to the topic of pragmatism versus ideology, because the Democratic Party is already pragmatic, while the Republican Party is mostly impelled by atavistic urges, and ideology matters to very few people. I absolutely want the Democratic Party to support policies that improve the lives of the mouth-breathing morons who still support Trump, but we're never going to persuade the mouth-breathing morons who still support Trump. We can only outvote them, and then set about enacting policies that actually benefit ordinary people -- without first filtering the cash through the wealthy.
That's the best a principled party can do, but it won't imaginably persuade the unpersuadables who support Trump. That's a bitter butthurt aggrieved group of people that no decent party will ever satisfy. Maybe they'll calm down a bit if we correct the income inequality problem. Who knows?
The most important political pathology of our time isn't broadly distributed. It's specifically located within the modern Republican Party -- which "has become an insurgent outlier — ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition."
I've argued asymmetric polarization for years, based on ironclad political science. Republicans rejected the data. Then they elected Trump, and now they're utterly tribal. It's abundantly clear where the current problem is located.
I know we always stress the importance of not making assumptions, but they sure do behave like guilty people, don't they?
They lie because their voters don't believe they're lying.Why in the holy hell do people think all these people affiliated with Trump are lying to investigators?
Seriously, why does anyone lie about anything?
It’s not like there’s a whole helluva lot of reasons to lie about something.
You either lie about something just to be an asshole, or you lie about something in order to cover the truth. So, either they’re all idiots and lying to the FBI just to f**k with the FBI, or they want to hide the truth.
They lie because their voters don't believe they're lying.
He must have hots for her! Why else would he bring her in just about every other post?Why does this schmuck keep obsessing over the status of anything possibly Hillary related? Not Mueller's current focus.
The same reason you bring up Russia in every postHe must have hots for her! Why else would he bring her in just about every other post?
