What’s the point of all this without denuclearization?

RF told us that Trump was single handedly denuclearizing NK. They aren’t shooting any nukes but they are refining and developing them.

I’m sure they’d never use them though.

Heck, RF was already putting to print tomorrows newspaper with the headline "Trump Saves The Planet"

1. He said Roger Stone was in touch with Trump re; Russians having the DNC hacked emails. That isn't 'knowledge' of collusion?
2. He wrote a check in 2017 for hush money to a porn star he banged that he hid to win the election. Yeah, who cares, but it is a crime AND he stated on Air Force One he didn't know anything about it (also not a crime, but the optics of it are horrible)
3. Dems likely gained traction in regards to obtaining tax returns.
4. He also heavily implied the Trump family knew about alot of the Russia thing.
5. Sure, he didn't supply evidence, but Mueller might. And Cohen may have only brought up topics in which he knew Mueller had the evidence.

^^ Yeah, I'm curious about the Nixon analogy as well. I think politicians stood by him, from what I know, but I would guess the American public had a lower percentage who supported him than Trump has.

The cynical part of me is thinking, "It's the same old puppy-like optimism of Axl's band members trotting out the usual quotes, but it's refreshing to hear it from Slash and Duff instead of DJ Ashba and Bumblefoot."

The optimistic part is thinking, "Well, at least a reunited Axl, Duff and Slash coming off the back of one of the biggest tours of all time will have a bit more clout and ability to get it past the record company suits than Axl And His Funny Friends circa 2010."

Heck, albums are just an excuse to go on tour these days for the bigger acts. Would think the record company is very much in favor of releasing something. Gives them a valid excuse to go on another big tour with large audiences, even if the setlist is 80-90% classic material. Merch sales and whatnot are a lot more lucrative than record sales at this point.

Really, they should take a leaf out of Ariana Grande's book and just release music in an ad hoc way instead of carefully structured album releases. The music industry's moved on:

" If I want to tour two albums at once, I’m going to tour two albums at once. If I want to drop a third album while I’m on tour [in 2019], I’ll do that too!”

lol, if Axl wants to release 1 album in 26 years, he'll do that too!

j/k, cool article & insights. I wasn't aware the 'young kids' just put songs out & bypassed the 'Album Release Date' scheduling mantra.

Listening in & out, I think everythings been let outta the bag. Pretty damining stuff imho. GOP only called Cohen a liar. I'll agree few facts & evidence, but I think where there's smoke there's fire (and Mueller might have the evidence). Also he heavily implicated the kids into knowing. The check written while Trump was President, likely a crime, it'll be tough for the GOP to defend that, even if its a fairly small crime, but he did it, and he's on record lying about it, which really becomes the worst & most controversial part about it. Not good for Sarah Huck to defend that.

Yes but a weak claim. No evidence.

Well, later on I think he said "The special counsel might have insights onto that" it was in response to a different question (I think asked by Wasserman Shultz) but I think it was about Stone/Trump communication. No followups.


Some in GOP  aren't even asking questions, their just taking all their alloted time to call Cohen a liar.

Cohen: Trump once said " I can't believe how stupid the American government is to give a person like me a $10 million dollar tax refund check".


{facepalm}

I hope these Congresspeople live in hardcore Red districts, because this could be career suicide standing by Trump.
