    You don't know which crime Cohen is going to jail for because the judge did not say. As I said before, Cohen pleaded guilty to a non-crime in hopes of the SDNY going easy on him for other stuff.

    It's amusing to watch Trump squeal and squirm, constantly changing his story as confessions accrue, revealed by the "best people" he has praised and hired, all "Liars!" now according to Trump.

    Every Trump dastard that the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel nails should be awarded a Gift Certificate for a last meal at Red Hen.

    Is this meant to be a serious question?

    It was a statistical fluke. It won't happen again.

    I think the Democrats are working to make it happen again, but two times over. Do you recall how, following the impeachment proceedings and trial, Clinton's popularity and public support went through the roof? That was because Democrats and many Republicans were turned off by the very dicey impeachment by the Republican leaders who had no clue what the masses thought. Today the Democrats in power have no clue what the populace or their base thinks, so they, believing they are so smart, are barrelling hard straight for the cliff.

    Does the view from the Black Dolphin allow one to see another Blue Wave approaching?

    With or with the RU Fed's help? Without the RU Fed's help, the answer is Neit.

    This is the view I treated myself this morning to, my friend. The Red Square is beautiful this time of a year although a little chilly and sadly, not quite yet setup for the Christmas festivities...

    What have you seen from your window this morning? :)

    Millions more Americans voted against him, but he got by with a little help from his friends.

    The anti-establishment fervor allowed a reality tv entertainer to surprise even himself, and most Americans consistently agreeing that he stinks does not guarantee that the nation will recover in 2020.

    We'll have to wait to see if the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel agrees with you.

    Of course I can handle a serious question. I knew exactly what I was posting. Evidently you should be aware that a person pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit or to a non-crime does not happen often but is not all that unusual. In Cohen's case he did do the activities he pled to, but they were not crimes. Such a guilty plea will almost always be accepted by a court.

    What jail time did Obama get for taking $3m in illegal campaign donations? Can you remember?

    I don't see luck having much to do with the patriotic mission of the Trump Justice Department Special Counse to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters. His integrity, competence, and diligence is what insures his ongoing progress.

    Desperate attempts at diversion are entirely understandable, but we should discuss current events under "Current Events."
