Shouldn't be long before Trump rants about the ACLU. Probably during his next early morning Shwitter.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

That's about not needing tritium. I didn't even mention tritium.

I'm saying I understand separating deuterium into a relatively pure form is expensive and difficult, costing about $100 a gram. The process is pretty straightforward, but not cheap.

But you don't need much deuterium.

Why convince people to vote for you when you can just prevent them from voting in the first place? Or, better yet, just steal the election! It's the perfect plan ;)

Trump delays release of hundreds of remaining JFK assassination documents, bowing to national security concerns

Trump was apparently going to release them all, but isn't now. Also heard the CIA and such were "scrambling" at the last minute about these, as if they haven't had 25 years or anything to work towards keeping anything they didn't want released from releasing or anything.

"Trump said: “I am ordering today that the veil finally be lifted. At the same time, executive departments and agencies have proposed to me that certain information should continue to be redacted because of national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns. I have no choice — today — but to accept those redactions rather than allow potentially irreversible harm to our nation’s security. ”"

So they are being released, but Trump is letting the CIA go over them with the black marker first, to cover up the █████ involvement.

Well no shit. It's not coincidence that Kobach, the man who insists that in spite of his total inability to find more than a handful of cases there are in fact billions of illegals stealing elections from God's Own Republican Party, got tapped to lead Trumps little 'Commission."

His desire to engage in massive voter suppression for the benefit of the GOP dovetails nicely with Trumps bloated ego and raging insecurities that demand "proof" that there's no way he could have lost the popular vote, especially to someone with a vagina.

Buttery males!

It's a trick the GOP learned long ago, especially regarding the Clintons. You don't actually need proof of anything, you just have to scream wild accusations and insinuations all day every day, for months and years, so that eventually the total lack of any evidence or follow up doesn't matter, it just sinks into peoples heads that it seem like every time they hear about them it's in relation to another "scandal", and surely that means they must have done...something.

You mean Russian-Americans? No, not by any reasonable person. Surprisingly, distinguishing between people from Russia and actual Russian state actors is not a rare skill.
