Manafort gets 7 1/2 years in prison in total:

Quote

Manafort, 69, will get credit for nine months he's already served in jail, and if he gets credit for good behavior, could be released from prison in about six years. He will also serve three years on probation and pay millions in restitution for tax fraud.

Wonder if Trump (like Putin) ever got summoned to court and got convicted of what he's alleged to have done in the past, how much of a sentence/punishment he would've received..

200 pages and he’s still President of the USA.

 

Unbelievable Jeff.

Some Repub senators worried that presidential overreach of this type might be used against them in the future.

 

Perhaps they should be worried.

Our politicians wear wigs too you know. And talk as much sh*t. Just with a posh accent innit.

The NHS ain't perfect...but it could be so, so much worse.

Is it me or does threatening the prosecution make you look guilty?

So apparently draining a swamp just makes the grime more visible.

I prefer to think of it as draining the swamp to refill it with effluent.

Words kinda fail me on this one.

Is Beto O' Rourke allergic to the floor? Every picture you see of him he's either on a table, a chair or a skateboard.

Is this what grabs the youth vote now in America?

I don't know the guy but from your tone I'm guessing he's a Dem? You pick the strangest things to get upset over with 'enemy' politicians.

Of course, it's just so so strange.

Tbf I've just google imaged the man and all the pictures of him standing up are cut off at the waist so now I'm questioning if he even has legs.

[leicsmac]

Still a long long way to go yet.

 

Connecting with younger and minority voters is crucial, though. That's a big part of how the Dems win in 2020, if they can.

Someone's getting a little antsy to railroad the UK in future trade agreements, I think.

Well, yeah.

 

Problem is, however, those who elected him are totally fine with him saying stuff like this.

 

More I've come to know of the situation, the more I'm thinking that Trump is merely a symptom of a much larger problem rearing its head in a lot of places right now.

I dunno, some of the rust belt that might have traditionally been Dem voters might go for it. 

 

But you can't see it being popular with proper Conservative republicans and patriots of any social class. 

 

Mccain was a decorated Nam vet, broadly respected across the political spectrum. Plus, quite frankly, getting in to bitchy feuds with dead people is just an appalling look.
