The actual record may have more impact than the sentence. I'm not sure what the professional consequences are for a lawyer with a criminal record...

Half of Trump's actions make sense if you accept Putin as the real leader of the USA.

I think the Trump thread has reached it's ultimate level of argumentation...

If Trump were directly acting on orders from Putin on a day-to-day basis, we would either already be much farther along into despotism than we currently are, or Trump would have been deposed.
Half of what Trump does makes sense if you accept him as the perfect Republican.

Re: Trump Thread
I don't deny that. And I'm sure that Putin isn't complaining about it. However, Trump seems to satisfy Putin with matters that Putin really cares about.
