tRump is not creating the new "normal"; he is creating an "abnormal"!
And you're basing this on what exactly, William?

Blackwater Founder Erik Prince Implicated in Murder
A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company’s owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe,” and that Prince’s companies “encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life.”
tRump is not creating the new "normal"; he is creating an "abnormal"!
It was a serious query, William. How would you define "normal" in today's political landscape? And how is what tRump is doing any different than what you'd expect of someone like McCain?

Ive heard that the HUGO BOSS label will be resurrected for Trumpietype uniforms and party shirts
Hugo Boss designed the uniforms for the Hitler youth and also for the Armed Forces in Germany. He joined the Nazi party in 1931, and did design spiffy uniforms for the SS and will do a great job for El Douche eh. Nothing quite like fine tailoring, Hugo mass produced with slave labor, maybe the American miners should take sewing classes.

Dear @JohnCornyn: FBI Director Christopher Wray gave over $39,000 exclusively to Republicans. Are you okay with that? Because if you are, then you need to shut up with the partisan talk about our dedicated, professional and patriotic FBI officials.

Here's something to watch
Quote:
@SenTomCotton has about 60k new followers. Most are from accounts that are only a few days/weeks old. Most have never tweeted.
Republicans had in recent weeks stepped up criticism of the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether Trump campaign aides had colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The move is widely seen as a tactic to undermine Mueller’s investigation, which has so far led to criminal charges against four people from Trump’s inner circle.
It comes as Republicans prepare to head into a potentially challenging midterm 2018 congressional election cycle.
Republicans have sought to re-litigate questions relating to the FBI’s handling of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and questioned whether Justice Department officials gave her preferential treatment in their decision not to charge her with a crime.
They have criticized former FBI Director James Comey for publicly announcing a decision not to refer Clinton for prosecution and asked whether the decision-making was politically tainted.
How does this tie in with your claims, blatham?

This reeks of desperation.
Quote:
A lawyer for a group set up to help Donald Trump's transition to the White House has accused special counsel Robert Mueller of unlawfully obtaining thousands of emails.
Kory Langhofer made the comments in a letter to congressional committees.
But a spokesperson for Mr Mueller said the "appropriate criminal process" had been followed.
Mr Mueller is investigating allegations of collusion between Mr Trump's presidential campaign and Russia.
Mr Langhofer works for the Trump for America (TFA) group. It used the facilities, including email hosting, of a government agency, the General Services Administration (GSA), in the period between Donald Trump's election in November 2016 and inauguration in January.
In his letter, Mr Langhofer, says GSA staff "unlawfully produced TFA's private materials, including privileged communications, to the special counsel's office".
The GSA, he complains, "did not own or control the records in question" and the constitutional rights of transition officials were violated.
Mr Langhofer goes on to ask Congress to act to protect future presidential transitions from having "private records misappropriated by government agencies, particularly in the context of sensitive investigations intersecting with political motives".
The emails obtained reportedly involve 13 Trump transition officials, including former national security advisor Michael Flynn who pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI earlier this month.
A spokesperson for Mr Mueller said they had done nothing wrong.
"When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner's consent or appropriate criminal process," Peter Carr said.

...A recent survey found that white evangelicals are now more likely than the average American, or any other religious group polled, to excuse politicians’ immoral behavior.
