Tom Clancy’s US Politics Thread

Isn't the GOP supposed to be the law and order party? I guess orange-collar crime doesn't count?

For thee, not for me.

So you have to assume they have documents showing Trump knew and admitted it was for his election chances - not to protect Melania’s “feelings” - or they wouldn’t have bothered.

I think they included the boobs woman to get everyone’s attention. “Hey mister, check out these massive… tax return discrepancies.”

One thing we do know is that Trump will answer every question and not plead the 5th as only guilty people plead the 5th.

Very much looking forward to the paparazzi perp walk to processing and eventual mugshot tomorrow.

I'll be printing that on a t-shirts with This Makes America Great or something and putting it up for sale. I expect to be a brazillionaire before the end of the week.

Well, I think they ran out of the poison they need for lethal injections a while back, so had to bring back older methods not subject to supply chain issues, like being drowned in a sack, stoning etc.

It’s probably more humane than lethal injection or electrocution.

They'd save money on bullets and not need any lethal injection poison by putting the occupants of death row in schools while they're open and the next spree killer will take them out.

I was reading an article yesterday that was pondering the theory that Trump’s biggest problem could be himself, and if he shoots his mouth off in court, with it being on oath, he could land himself in bigger problems.

I'd laugh if he just pleads the fifth for everything.

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

I know right?
