He must have smeared himself since he confessed to the crime..

Yeah, whatever happened to Anita Dunn and Lois Lerner by the way?

He's a confessed felon - or on plain speak, a member of Trump-world....

As nutty as this guy is, the only ones that are safe are the ones that refuse to read his hate-speech books...

Seriously? That was your best shot? Lol

And?

Adultery and deception - trying to mirror his President...

Welcome to the world of men and politics.

Welcome to the the world of Trump and his merry band of perverts...

Michael Moore saw Trump as a danger early on

As did D’Souza did with Obama.

That said, he’s a partisan like D’Souza.

Nothing wrong with that.

I know you are non-partisan and wouldn’t trust either.

Me trusting D’Souza has absolutely nothing to do with me being partisan or not for the record.

Seriously? This guy's a certified nut job, who is also a fraud and a convicted criminal.

Smeared like James Rosen yeah, I get it.

He's a hard core birther and said Sept 11 was caused by Hillary and Ted Kennedy. And anyone who buys this guy's books must be certified too.

What do you think of Michael Moore?

I don't know - why don't you find an article on him and comment on that?

In 2012, D’Souza resigned as president of a Christian college amid charges of adultery and deception. In 2014, D’Souza pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign-finance laws. He was sentenced to eight months of confinement followed by 52 months probation.

Eight months, will society be any more safe? ROFL!*

These judges who took an oath to uphold the Constitution and are now breaking their oath need to be fired and prosecuted.

Someone hates the Justine system.

Michael Moore saw Trump as a danger early on and tipped him to win, while you were backing Ben Carson, calling Trump the leader of a lunatic fringe and tipping Clinton to win.

That said, he’s a partisan like D’Souza. I know you are non-partisan and wouldn’t trust either.

That's not the worse case scenario, because there is no such scenario. Trump is not owned by Russian oligarchs. More delusion.

Um, and you know this because...

Seems like your argument is ‘you can’t investigate that because I say it’s delusional’.

Strong argument bro.

Anyways, watching trump kowtow to Putin, defend Russia, and refusal to even address the election meddling is extremely suspicious. As the leader of a nation attacked by Russia, the natural expectation would be at least a stern talking to. At the absolute least. And yet Trump refuses to even broach the subject. Why?

And you think that investigating this is delusional. Well, someone’s delusional alright.

Let's assume the worse: Trump creatively exploited loopholes to reduce his tax bill

What are you off about? Of course he’s been creative with his taxes. And I would assume the IRS would have already cleared all that.

That’s not the worst case scenario at all! And not even why we want to see his tax returns.

The worst case scenario is that he is in deep financial obligation directly to Putin and/or other Russian oligarchs. The worst case scenario is that they own the president of the US. Or do you think such a scenario is not the worst case?

Another twist showing Donny's tax returns will be given to Congress:

yes, yes, yes! We need an old-fashioned book burning.

There's that conservative habit of taking words out of context and twisting them instead of addressing the substantive argument. Smooth critical discourse skillz.

When are the Democrats going to stop this foolishness and get started on working for the American people?

After we get all the traitors, frauds, con-men, criminals and other vermin out of the White House and this administration...

And the American people will thank us for taking our country back from the Trump-Putin cabal...

yes, yes, yes! We need an old-fashioned book burning.

If we're talking about D'Souza's books, it more like burning comic books or supermarket tabloids...

When Donny and the Senate start proposing legislation. TEE HEE! HAR!

You said absolutely nothing that wasn't already stated. He's admitted to making a straw campaign donation--that's it! You would already have known that if you read the book! if that's your criteria for judging someone's mental health, 

Not for committing a felony, for the conspiracy theories. That was painfully obvious to anyone who actually read the comment,

the president tried to block Mueller investigation, that's not what the dems were after.

No prosecutor is ever after obstruction of justice, it happens when people chose to lie to the investigators, tamper with witnesses, etc.. It's nonsense to dismiss Donny's multiple attempts at obstruction as not a big deal because he chose to do it.

They were looking for collusion. Now that the Mueller report could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Trump has committed any crime, dems are like: (in the drunken slobber of Polosi) "but you obstructed when we were trying to conduct a bs 

Mueller did not claim to fail to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donny obstructed. Mueller wasn't doing that because he wasn't in court, which is the proper venue for proving up a case. Mueller was investigating.

Accuracy lends an argument credibility.

Have you read the book? Do you know what charges D'souza faced? Can you provide links to any case studies of anyone ever being thrown in prison for what D'souza did?

Don't break the law and you won't be subject to the consequences. He plead guilty to a crime involving dishonesty, which means he's an admitted liar. This in turn means, according to conservative "logic," he can't he trusted, so his books are junk.

After pondering over your convincing arguments, I think I'll still continue to read D'souza.

You're free to do so - just understand he's laughing at you as he cashes all the checks....

You're absolutely right. The dems have done nothing short of bending over backwards to cooperate with this president.

But, you guys! Eight years of Obama.

Please tell us how he's a fraud and nutter--seriously

Seriously? This guy's a certified nut job, who is also a fraud and a convicted criminal. He's a hard core birther and said Sept 11 was caused by Hillary and Ted Kennedy. And anyone who buys this guy's books must be certified too.

I just made a donation to the Trump for President 2020.

Putin thanks you...

Trump's incompetence as a leader, and inability to keep himself clean, non-conspiratory, and non-obstructionary, have bogged down his entire administration.

See what happens when you people elect a loser? He turns himself into a lame duck.

Well if you read the book you would know that it's based on his experience in prison. He does not deny it. In fact he cherishes the experience and shows how democrats are the real crooks.

This guy is not only a convicted criminal and fraud, he a certified nut case. I'm surprised they sent him to jail instead of a mental institution.

What is up with Trumpers swearing allegiance to these kooks and frauds - Alex Jones gets on the stand and admits he just "plays a character" when he spews these nutty conspiracy theories - and Trumpers still believe him.

It's the closest thing to North Korea's cult I've seen - ignore the truth and facts - believe the lie.

Putin's poison has worked well on these folks...and the far-right media machine continues to get rich by taking their money...and then laughing at them...

He knows a lot about judges after being convicted and sentenced to prison.

And he knew exactly the reasons behind them.

Trumpophiles will be here claiming without evidence that this is another biased judge. Nothing like disparaging institutions fundamental to our democratic republic when you don't get your way. Why do Trumpophiles hate the US?

Yes, because the judge is another Obama appointee, interesting.

Trump had better be paying for these "fights" with his own money!

The article below provides info on one part of Trump's legal defense. Curious that once again casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is a contributor. What's Adelson buying? Something something in Israel? Something something in Japan?

"totally the wrong decision by obviously an Obama-appointed judge,"

so once again it's about Obama. Maybe stop attacking Obama and some support might come your way. Just a thought.

Trump said last month that the administration was "fighting all the subpoenas" issued by the House,

Trump had better be paying for these "fights" with his own money! If he is using taxpayers money, he should be impeached and removed from office tomorrow!

If you really have nothing to hide, then let them look all they want!

Probably just afraid that it will become public knowledge that Trump really is a looser!

"totally the wrong decision by obviously an Obama-appointed judge,"

Trump once again attacks the judiciary. The authoritarianists in his base want Trump to be herr diktator. They want the US Constitution undone to give the Trump greater powers over the judicial and legislative branches.

And another attack on Obama. Trump knows many in his base need enemies to hate. Trump once again keeps hate alive, playing to those in his demographic sharing his biases.

U.S. President Donald Trump, three of his children and the Trump Organization on Wednesday lost their bid to block

What's Trump hiding and who all else beyond his family - in the US and 'abroad' - is he protecting?

Trump the corrupt businessman, Trump the corrupt politician.
