So Cohen has been found guilty of several charges and faces a jail term of 36 months. Any thoughts as to how this might impact on Trump? Some news outlets are suggesting his wider business dealings are being put under greater scrutiny following the verdict on Cohen.

he has been convicted of lying.... good luck using him as a witness...
Muller is just an invesigator looking for a crime. he is oging to keep finding things, because... how could he not. Even if he has to make stuff up, he will. Trump is correct this is a witch hunt. Anyone remember when the point of this was russian collusion? -

Anyone remember when the point of this was russian collusion?Ha! Good point. A somewhat compromised witness.
Fair point also about it being supposed to be about Russian collusion but, in the case of Cohen, if one investigation uncovers something else, well they shouldn't ignore it should they? Anyway not just lying, campaign finance violations and tax evasion. If any I'd say the middle one is most likely to impact on Trump. To what extent though is something else.

Because the bedrock of western judicial process is that prosecutors investigate crimes, not people. This has turned into a farce. If anyone on the planet faced this sort of scrutiny they would all be compromised.

The Texas Fifth Circuit has just struck down Obamacare as unconstitutional. The appeal by those hoping to save it must take place here. Highly unlikely it will be successful because make-up of this circuit is largely conservative.
Should it be upheld, it completely shifts the balance of power in Congress. It is the ultimate leverage for President Trump in a new session

Vomit inducing.

Sanders had her as a proxy on the campaign trail. Now the US press has finally realised what an evil person she is after Allyssa Milano and others have called her out for being a hateful antisemite with links to the muslim brotherhood I hope this clown stands again too, the internet is full of photos of them together.
-
Lots of rumours that the Republicans have video of Sanders chanting "Death to America" at a Sandinista rally in the '90's.
What isn't a rumour is that Sanders co-sponsored a bill in Maine and Vermont in '97 for nuclear waste to be kept in Texas as "only poor Latinos and white folk live there" . You can imagine the campaign slogan - "Bernie Sanders - environmental racist"

Turning points, tipping-points, beginning of the ends, bombshell-after-bombshell, the walls are closing in...
This is a hilarious mashup. The fact it’s being spotlighted by Bernie pinkos who hate Trump’s guts should tell you how shitty & useless mainstream news media has become. Even they see straight through the mass hysteria.

I like the humor and agree with free speech issues he raises.
I also agree Trump hypes things up and is playing the poltical game to a certain extent (albeit with less finesses than Obama and having the massive handicap of the media and entertainment establishment being opposed to him) I even think sections of Fox dislike him and yearn for a time of a more civilized era where the right lost with dignity.But he uses a familiar fallback, if we let their be open debate then the left(the civilized smart left like him) will come up with the real solutions.
Nah, the left doesn't have any solutions in many areas.
Illegal immigration -no solution. -
Either ambivalent to the issue or are actively encouraging it.China - no solution -
Under Obama, China was facing next to zero pressure because it was Obama (not Trump) that was in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce. Or Obama was too dumb, lacking in nous or cowardly to take them on.North Korea - no solution
A lot of pontificating about how wrong Trump is. Trump has not solved, but there is more encouragement here than at any other time in history.ISIS in Syria and Iraq
ISIS rose up under Obama and swept across Syria and parts of Iraq. They have been next to wiped out in these areas. -

Fuck I hate those smug pricks at Vox.
Bernie genuinely cares about workers. Of that there can be no doubt.He also requires probably 50%+ corp tax to fund free education and healthcare.
Not sure that would play well with multinationals staying in the US (and their jobs) -

Not sure that would play well with multinationals staying in the US (and their jobs)I think the only positive I can give Bernie is that he's allowing the left in the US to have a conversation about their open borders insanity.
Things aren't so rosy at vox these days ,
