Here's a one year chart of lumber prices. Higher now, than at this time last year, but way down from highs.

The pussy Grabber & Thief's mouth piece just made a direct statement
that defines the tweets as obstruction, saying "look, he's fighting back. . ."

He is fighting back?

who is he fighting, why is he? If he is fighting by using his bully pulpit

is that a legal abuse of power?
is it Obstruction, & failure to up-hold his oath of office too?

making false statements, attempting to effect opinions by lying, repeatedly.
If It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck looks like a duck, it is a duck.

Fighting back is the same as trying to up-end an on going Federal
investigation, as he did when he fired Comey,His lying pack of mouth
pieces can only live it down by playing the hits of already proven
false statements.

Nice spin eddie, but the lumber futures rose over six months ago in anticipation of the tariffs, and no they have not dropped to where they were pre-tariff discussion.

Holy Face Palm, Robin!

Btw, Fritz, the last word of the title of this thread is extraneous.

Collusion is beside the point: our president is a national security risk.

Donald Trump owes his presidency at least in considerable part to the illegal assistance of the Russian state: hacking, data theft, prohibited election advertising. This compromised president has in office launched himself against U.S. alliances and trade arrangements built by administrations of both parties over the past three-quarters of a century. The president describes the European Union as a “foe,” quarrels with Canada and Germany, and enters into agreements with Putin that he seems not to have shared even with his own secretary of state and national-security adviser. He blabs vital secrets to the Russian foreign minister, resists holding Russia to account for nerve-agent attacks on British soil, and refuses to implement sanctions voted almost unanimously by Congress. Meanwhile, the single data point that supposedly proves how tough he is on Russia—the provision of lethal aid to Ukraine—may actually prove something very different. Ukraine halted its cooperation with the Mueller probe ahead of the sale, to “avoid irritating the top American officials.”
“Collusion is not a crime” in the same way that a counter-intelligence investigation is not a criminal prosecution. Aspects of collusion may be criminal, but collusion itself is above all a threat to national security: the installation of a president beholden to some greater or lesser degree to a hostile foreign power.

Written by that bleeding heart, David Frum.

How much longer will the GOP destroy their credibility before they fold the tRump Circus Tent? The “law and order” party is standing by while their boy tries to subvert the rule of law. The guilty pr*ck is saying he is the victim of a “deep state” conspiracy, when the investigation is being led by his own party’s appointees. Only the true tRumpinati could believe such nonsense.

After all this, it's hard to believe that Trump supporters actually exist. I imagine them as fat, white unicorns that reek of Pabst and have Cheeto stained hooves.

Now we're getting somewhere

#QAnon, the scarily popular pro-Trump conspiracy theory, explained
How a conspiracy theory that Trump and Robert Mueller are secretly working together got from Reddit to Trump rallies.

Indeed Z Brown! A new group of Trumpist crazies. I'm betting we have some on ST!

‘We are Q’: A deranged conspiracy cult leaps from the Internet to the crowd at Trump’s ‘MAGA’ tour.

Viewing their message boards, it’s clear that QAnon crosses a new frontier. In the black hole of conspiracy in which “Q” has plunged its followers, Trump only feigned collusion to create a pretense for the hiring of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is actually working to expose the Democrats. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Soros are planning a coup — and traffic children in their spare time. J.P. Morgan, the American financier, sunk the Titanic.

In the world in which QAnon believers live, Trump’s detractors, such as Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, wear ankle monitors that track their whereabouts. Press reports are dismissed as “Operation Mockingbird,” the name given to the alleged midcentury infiltration of the American media by the CIA. The Illuminati looms large in QAnon. As do the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family vilified by the conspiracy theorists as the leaders of a satanic cult. Among the world leaders wise to satanic influences, the theory holds, is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

QAnon flirts with eschatology, fascist philosophy and the filmmaking of Francis Ford Coppola. Adherents believe a “Great Awakening” will precede the final storm foretold by Trump. Once they make sense of the information drip fed to them by “Q,” they will usher in a Christian revival presaging total victory.

The implication is that resolving the clues left by “Q” would not just explain Trump’s planned countercoup. It would explain the whole universe.
When “Q” is absent for long stretches of time, followers take note.

“Please tell me where to go,” one wrote last month. “I feel lost without Q.”

I'm a student if human nature. I have no doubt that many of these Trump supporters are, otherwise, smart people. The thing about intelligence, however, is that it is a subconscious operator. Your conscious algorithms can work against your natural (subconscious) intelligence, which is based on survival and fecundity. Trump supporters' hatred for the left is this algorithm that seems to rise to the top in the conservative mind, making them blind to his obvious flaws as a human being and leader. I'm still working on this:)

Nice article that stokes my hope that the Mueller investigations will pave the way to campaign finance reform and media funding transparency laws, in the wake of bipartisan corruption that is being exposed:
