I didn't know about the ruling until I got here and you guys who posted on it should have given that information.
Yeah, there's no possibility of you finding out what you are talking about before posting.
Actually there is no ruling to be found, just news reports on what it supposedly says.
I swear I saw the ruling on some site, but I can't find it now. CNN’s Jim Acosta Returns to the White House After Judge’s Ruling - The New York Times:

quote: Followed by unhinged rants about how easily Trump answered Mueller's questions. (for which we only have Trump's worthless word, and do you really believe Trump answered them?) and more election bullshit. Yeah, some analysis.. ABE: I just realized that the one mention of a legal principle is not about the legal issues or the reasons for his decision. It's about his disapproval of the judge applying the law as he (the judge) sees it. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

You were asked for an analysis. That's an unhinged rant, not any kind of analysis.

Trump did allegedly break campaign finance laws while he was a candidate and afterwards. That's what Cohen accused him of.
ABE Not only Cohen but the publishers of the National Enquirer admitted, in their plea deal:

I don't want Trump to be kicked out or resign. Yes, he's caused incredible damage to America and the world. Yes, he is going to keep it up at the same level or worse. Yes, it'll take decades to recover what can be recovered; IMHO our world leadership isn't coming back.
But Pence would make him look like a piker. They're both evil but Pence is far, far more competent at doing evil.

BS.
Quote someone saying that. Certainly the vast majority of people at his rallies thought he was going to make some seemingly impossible deal with Mexico to put up the money directly. They failed to account for the fact that he can't make deals or negotiate. His only tactic is bullying and he can't even conceive of a win-win. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Repeating lies doesn't make them true. The dossier has been partially confirmed and none of it has been debunked. It was opposition research, which is SOP at all levels of politics. The many indictments, convictions, and guilty pleas have incontrovertibly established conspiracy between Russians and several of Trump's campaign staff, some at very high levels. The only remaining question is if Trump or his family were involved. Personally I think Trump wasn't involved; the Russians are too smart to tell secrets to an incorrigible blabbermouth.
The right is frantically trying to spin Trump’s felonies, as attested to by multiple independent witnesses. I don't know where it's going, but it's going somewhere.They are criminal felonies . Period. I know it's anathema to you, but you would be much more successful if you brought up at least some evidence rather than unsupported rants.

Nobody "admitted" that any portion of the dossier is fake. Some of it has been confirmed including some within the past few days: Mueller probe shows parts of Steele dossier true
Without a name and a quote you got nuthin'.

quote: If Mexico is going to "pay" for the wall, we'll need to collect a few tens of billions that we wouldn't collect without a wall. What's the plan? Trump’s renegotiated NAFTA won't do that, even if it passes as-is (doubtful).

Dossier is partially verified.
It's not totally trumped up. It also was not the basis for the FISA warrant on Carter Page. So what's the big deal about it?

Cutting off that flow of money immigrants send to Mexico should pay for it without any other deal being made
Which he's never going to do. For one thing, it's not possible to close off all those avenues. For another, Mexico would retaliate.
And there are other laws that could be passed cutting off what illegal immigration costs us.
What laws are possible and likely? But you are still missing the key point; if Mexico is going to pay for the wall in any real sense, we need to collect money from them that we would not have collected if there was no wall. None of those laws and actions rely on there being a wall.

I don't have a source of that 85% poll statistic, it's something I heard on at least one talk show. It looks too high even to me now and maybe I misheard what it was about. But Trump was elected predominantly on his desire to build the wall so it has to be at least the percentage of those who voted for him who continue to support it, and adding some from the opposition would make sense too, even those who otherwise oppose his policies.
The 35% or thereabouts that will never face reality about Trump are still for it. It doesn't make sense for anyone else to be for the wall, and indeed they aren't.
