    My assumptions aren't hidden, I know what they are. Instead of using catch-phrases, try to make real argument for once.

        I've posted elsewhere that Trump has almost certainly gotten a grip on his philandering habits, otherwise 24/7 her face would be on CNN.

          If you're not paying attention to the news, then that's your fault, not mine. This ought to get you started. The things I've mentioned were so well established by the news media, I didn't really expect anyone other than MM to deny them. But hey, learn something new every day.

            Yeah sorry, poor choice of phrase there. I was going for dramatic. But you do acknowledge he was once a philanderer, as far as we can tell?

              Yes. Do you acknowledge that he's almost certainly gotten a grip on it?

                Yes. It's possible he's just gotten better at it. But at his age, I'd guess he's mostly given it up.

                  A 'conservative' that trusts Fake News, never gets old. Let's take the most recent one, there is no good evidence for personal quid pro quo between Trump and Ukraine. National quid pro quo is what diplomacy is all about.

                    You mean except for the part where the Chief of Staff admitted to said quid pro quo in a press conference, then realized his giant mistake and tried to talk it back? Or the testimony of multiple administration officials talking about it? Or, I dunno....the transcripts of the phone calls?

                      On another claim, "How about using his leverage as a presidential candidate to seek business opportunities in Moscow?"

                      Where in the long article does it say that? You're still elephant hurling, thinking that by linking the first Fake News article you google that you provide proof. What a joke.

                        At best they can establish a quid pro quo on the national level, which is what diplomacy is. Nothing has established personal quid pro quo.

                          I'm sorry, I read at least a dozen news articles a week as well as listening to podcasts and watching some limit TV. It's hard to remember the source material for everything I've ever heard offhand. I googled for articles for the relevant material from decent news organizations. I'll be happy to review the article in more detail, if you can try to stay civil here and actually pay attention.

                            LOL, you can't even read apparently. For one who's so poorly informed, you're pretty quick to make disparaging remarks. I'll link the article, again. Its the one with words like "Trump", "Moscow", "President", and "deal" in the title.

                              Translation: you didn't actually review the articles that you cited, and expected me to take them seriously as evidence.

                              What a joke, I'm not dealing with this any more.

                                One last post. "Nothing has established personal quid pro quo" was about the Ukraine nonsense. Retard, you can't read.
