Yet another great title OP!

I was promised impeachment. What now, when Congress won't even invite Mueller to answer their questions?

Patience, grasshopper.

A friendly suggestion: wait until an existing treasons thread is within 10 to 15 posts to completion before creating a new one. It can create a bit of confusion when the new one shows and the prior one hasn't reached near closure. That said, appreciate the OP(s?), keeping the discussions active.

[quote]It can create a bit of confusion when the new one shows and the prior one hasn't reached near closure.

No, it really doesn't.

[quote]No, it really doesn't.

Sort of denial there. When it gets crossed-out, it disappears from active threads.

[quote]Sort of denial there. When it gets crossed-out, it disappears from active threads.

Denial... uh no. I'm sorry you get confused when threads overlap, however, I don't think the majority of people do. Just because it gets crossed out doesn't make it "confusing." These threads always get crossed out, regardless if they're started right at the end of the previous thread or a couple dozen before it's finished.

The threads are always linked to the new and old anyway, so anyone with it in their favorites shouldn't have a difficult time finding it. We've managed 110 threads so far... we're just fine.

Thanks for these threads OP. Im happy for them whenever they come. One of the few things that helps me not feel utterly hopeless.

Pres Bone Spurs does seem to want to stay in power. He will be in a world of hurt if he tries.

He's in a no-win situation. The public humiliation of being in a high profile position he's ill-suited for, but if he's out, he's got no protection. And man, do I hope it's take a toll on his will to live.

That's one of the reasons I believe he pulled away from striking Iran. If he goes full in and war starts, his life becomes hell. He will have endless meetings on the war status (which will bore him to tears because its not about him) and won't be able to golf every other day. War starts. Golf ends. The images of boys are coming home in flag draped coffins contrasted to him playing golf would be more than enough to guarantee that whomever the democrat nominates wins.

It may have been the Senate Republicans who kept him in tow. He has no authority to declare war.

As long as he's in office, the SDNY can't touch him. If he loses, the second he walks out of The White House, he's toast.

HuffPost: Trump Claims Administration Doing 'Fantastic Job' Housing Migrant Kids At Border

CBS: Pence blames Dems for migrant child detention center conditions

I like Steve Bullock, Gov of Montana. I like 99% of our candidates. I'd like for him to get a shot. He got in too late but maybe he can catch on. I think he would be more progressive than people would initially give him credit. Otherwise, he needs to run for Senate.

Politico: Lawmakers to decide on Mueller testimony this week, Schiff says

CNN: 2020 election: Trump says he's not ready to lose

In all honesty, I think it was probably Putin that "asked" Trump to call off the air strike.

The goal was to win the new cycle over the 20th Rape/Molestation accusation. Mission Accomplished.

r26 Can you imagine if this were about Biden? Nonstop coverage even if we were at war.

^Yes, and every Democratic congressperson in would have to answer for it.

Since 90 percent of Latin Americans are Christians, that means that the people in the camps are 90 pct Christians. Why are we not calling these Camps for Christians Children or Christian Concentration Camps"?

What will this week bring?

I wonder if Mike Pence will be surprised when he winds up in Hell. Maybe not. Maybe he just gets what he is.

Have we had Treason Bugaloo yet?

yeah it's pretty fucking pathetic of the media to largely ignore the latest sexual assault claim. I only saw her interviewed on Lawrence O'Donnell's and Joy Reid's shows. I understand it's not a shock anymore to hear that a woman has accused Trump of sexual misconduct but OMFG if this had been ANY OTHER PRESIDENT, this story would have dominated the fucking headlines all weekend. The fact that most outlets didn't even talk about it over the weekend was just sad.

I understand the Iran tension is a big deal and so is the detention camp disgrace but any time our leader faces such an accusation it should be a big headline too

I expect Trump to unleash yet another news grabbing mess on Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday to take attention away from the Democratic debates

CNN has spent all week constantly bashing Biden and Buttigieg. They want their Bernie who would lose 40 states.

The one thing Bernie has going for is his speaking style. People like it. It seems strong and direct. I don't want him to be the nominee but I will vote for him if he is but will watch him carefully esp on Russia business.

I'm in healthcare and when I have to go to a patient's room who has the t.v. on fox, it's absolutely NOTHING but proTrump fucking BULLSHIT. It's sickening! They don't even attempt any remotely balanced perspective.

Here in Australia there is our version of Fox News, owned by, you guessed it, Rupert Murdoch. The worst of the worst "pundits" rage against anything reasonably humanistic. I was so relieved when I saw the doctor a few days ago and the sitting room tv was tuned to the ABC and not Sky News.

[quote]I understand the Iran tension is a big deal and so is the detention camp disgrace but any time our leader faces such an accusation it should be a big headline too

The detention camp disgrace is getting some coverage, but not really the level of the outrage is should be getting. Trump is trying to use it to extort what he wants and that kind of gets shrugged off.

Is Hannity getting fat or just more puffed up?

Perhaps an enema would help.

Hannity is bloated with shit and venom and I hope he pops like a festering balloon.

Hannity has gotten more bloated in recent months. His very frequent guest, Miss Thang, likes her menz tender and chunky.

I really hate Bernie's speaking style, R35. As soon as I hear his voice, I have to turn him off.

We still need to find out what kind of work Cohen was doing for Hannity. No way it was "real estate advice."

Something must be coming out. Some obvious trolls were busy creating a bunch of threads.

What are they trying to distract from?

Washington Post: Trump’s erratic policy moves put national security at risk, experts warn

The Hill: Leaked Trump transition vetting documents show numerous officials with 'red flags': Axios

Agree r43. Bernie speaks as if he his lecturing, such as a stern parent scolding naughty kids. And that wagging, pointing finger is far from endearing. Bern Bros may lap it up, but for others it is a turn-off. He never explains costs for the agenda he has yapped for over a quarter century.

The Hill: Conway defends herself against Hatch Act allegations amid threat of subpoena

"The law is the law, you don't get to say it isn't clear that it applies to you if you don't want it to," Jordan Libowitz said in a statement to The Hill. "An investigation by the Trump administration not only says that it does, but that her violations are so severe she should not have a job in the government."

Politico: Oversight panel demands White House official testify on Trump-Putin docs

Fox was also on in my dentist and doctor's office for a long time. Thankfully, both switched to HGTV.

Fox works because it is very effective in its lies and disinformation. I've never seen anything like it. After only a few minutes, I start almost believing their lies. Blatant lies. They are that good.

I hate when people say it is the equivalent with MSNBC. Former lies nonstop while the latter just has a perspective from the left but uses facts.

Plus Fox dumbs everything down to a 5th grade level. So much easier to buy into.

Bloomberg: Flynn's New Attorney May Have One Task: Win a Pardon From Trump

Kellyanne is receiving a very hefty salary with benefits on the government payroll, paid by taxpayers. She worked a bit, supposedly, on the addiction crisis, but most of her activities have been campaign related, and spreading propaganda for Trump.

She needs to lose this job. If the RNC and the Trump re-election chose to hire and pay her from political donations, that's their choice. She's broken the Hatch Act to an extreme.

^re-election 'campaign'

Vetting DOCUMENTS? Really? I'm shocked. I thought no vetting process existed whatsoever!!

Why does Kellyanne get to just decide whether or not she will have to face any repercussions of her Hatch Act violations?

I don't understand why Congress doesn't open an impeachment inquiry. They don't have to send it to the Senate until they want to, just continue with investigations labeled as such. Keep it out there that this orange thing is under investigation for a possible impeachment and isn't fit to be president. It's just horrible that the trump criminal cabal is able to continue to trash this country with impunity.

None of us knows how this will turn out but our democracy is slipping away quickly before our eyes. It makes me sick.

For R58

From the last thread - it bears repeating, perhaps in every thread going forward until September.

[quote]Something is wrong with some of you that you can't see that this entire slow leak of Democrats expressing their support for impeachment while Nancy holds onto the faucet handle is all completely planned. It's theater. She is the level-headed leader who doesn't want to be political and wants to follow all the rules who is keeping her hot-headed caucus in line. She's allowing the trickle of calls for impeachment and has planned it to reach its peak this Fall. At that point, when they start the impeachment proceedings, she can't be blamed for politicizing it because she fought for the exact rule of law to be followed and had to be brought to calling for impeachment by the overwhelming calls of her caucus. The time taken to get there will lend credence to the overall proceedings. —Anonymous reply 477

So Judge Amy is just letting Roger Stone get away with violating his court order again?

Thought so...

Amy Berman is fucking useless.

Thanks R59, I read that before. I hope that's what will happen because he cannot be allowed to finish this term without it being on record as a lying, cheating, criminal.

R59 That's a political calculation that Nancy is employing - but at what cost? Sometimes you have to stand up and do the right thing for the moment and that moment is NOW. Kids are dying at the border, Trump is ready to start a war in Iran (how many will die in that war?), he's totally corrupt, incompetent and a rapist. The MOMENT says it is time to do the right thing NOW - not the political thing which could be months away and see thousand of people unnecessarily dead.

Nancy is smart yes but I worry about the time crunch. Less than half of the House Dems have called for an impeachment inquiry. If they're going to start in the fall, a lot more than 2-3 per week will have to join the cause. Or will they mostly wait to announce until summer recess?

Daily Beast: Kellyanne Conway Just ‘Disregarded’ The Law, Trump-Appointed Watchdog to Testify

How will starting a long impeachment process help dying kids at the border, NOW, R63?

And you contend the only way to help them is to impeach Trump? That nothing can be done until he’s gone??

There is no war with Iran, stop exaggerating.

Besides, Putin won’t let that happen.

Or haven’t you heard, Trump wants to make Iran Great Again.

r60...

Judge Amy Berman gave Stone until Thursday to explain himself and to show cause for why she shouldnt jail him. Doesnt sound like she let him slide....

The notion of dropping Pence and replacing him with Nikki Haley is gaining traction. Just saw it on CNN.

[quote]Judge Amy Berman gave Stone until Thursday to explain himself and to show cause for why she shouldnt jail him. Doesnt sound like she let him slide....

Just you wait and see...

"Mr. Stone, this is the 11th time I've had to call you in front of me for violating your gag order. Do you promise, promise, promise not to do it again? Pinky swear???"

I am sick of hearing conservatives wail about the cost of any Dem candidates' proposals. The party who regularly explodes the deficit with not one policy that helps anyone except the rich.

At least Dems are talking about solutions. Where are the solutions from the GOP? There aren't any and that needs to be the response. The free market is not taking care of this. The free market is leaving people behind. FDR loved the free market and knew a good dose of "socialism" evens the playing field. The GOP thinks the rich will somehow, finally wake up and let their money trickle down.

There’s that famous Judge Judy line: “You know how you can tell when a teenager’s lying? Her mouth is moving.”

The same can be said about Republicans.

That’s the access point.

“So today a Republican said...” then follow it up with proof to the contrary and then consistently close with, “That’s the __th falsehood told by a Republican this week.”

Let it become a go-to segment on every legit NEWS program, and end each week’s broadcast with a Greatest Hits montage of that past week’s deliberate Republican misdirection.

Call out every erroneous poll number, every deflection, every whataboutism, every blatant manipulation, every latent racist/homophobic/misogynistic thing they put out there in a clear, concise, measurable way so that the term REPUBLICAN becomes synonymous with DECEIT.

Apparently on misogynistic porn (where they degrade, slap, spit on women) the ads are for Pres Bone Spurs. Heard it on the radio yesterday. No surprise.

Lately I feel like I'm watching a train speeding toward a cliff and I can't do anything to stop it. How big the crash will be we don't know, but I hate that the fate of the country is now in the hands of criminal, hateful, sexist, racist deplorables unless the rest of us get serious and do quick to stop it.

r73 We'll make it. We have the Dems and, all jokes aside, they will step up. They have so much against them not least of which are the conservative billionaires and even the moderate billionaires who will crush them if they so much as think about trending left too much.

The phrase Burn the Witch! has never seemed so appropriate, r65.

"Mr. Stone, you better not break the gag order again, or next time I will get really, really mad and give you a sterner warning."

"She's not my type."

Are you fucking kidding me? I know sociopaths are evil but most have the capacity to PRETEND! That is the first thing he says?

Someone needs to grab him by his tiny balls and sling him around.

it's kind of what he always says in these situations. Kind of like that asshole in the philippines, or is it brazil, same asshole different time zone: She wishes I'd rape her! These bastards all have the same attitude. They should be grateful I raped them. It's a compliment. And yeah, Trump is a sociopath who should be in jail.

The only hang up to getting rid of Pence for Haley is loyalty. It is all but a done deal but he is uncertain she will be loyal like Pence. He is getting huge pressure from his staff. He seems to be waiting for poll numbers closer to the primaries for Dems. He is also waiting to see who is looking strong for the Dems. But loyalty from Pence may keep him on the ticket.

Is that what you're hearing, FCI, or just speculation? And aren't most of your sources Democrats? Would they have any knowledge about that?

Hearing about the children at the boarder and Trump pretending the fault is with the Democrats makes me so angry, I wish he would burst into flames.

r80 Do I have haters? LOL

I reported this a few threads back but CNN talked about it today.

They are hearing it and they all talk like crazy. Doesn't matter the party. They all know each other. They fight and spare but they alll talk trash and leak things to each other.

Maybe I am wrong but I believe millions of us hate Trump...I wish we could head to DC by the millions to show the Senate and the House that we despise this man and we want him gone. Trump is the most vile thing I have ever seen.

Yeah, you maybe do, r82. There is a curious fury that happens on DL when somebody actually knows something, really about anything. It's bizarre, but we live with it.

But that is interesting. I think Mike Pence is the classic "outlived his usefulness" guy. There was some worry about the Evangelicals, but they have made it very obvious Trump is their messiah. There is absolutely no reason to keep the tiresome puritan around anymore. Every old christian whore is on board. Might as well go with the "exotic" woman and try to pick a few furrin votes.

In what world does Pence go quietly when treated like a piece of shit on Trump's shoe? I just don't see it.

in the world where he still wants to matter in the Evangelical world and every old fraud is telling him that Trump is The One, and only by graciously stepping aside will he have a future of his own.

A future as what? The disgraced piece of shit Trump dumped? Nah. Trump will lose some evangelicals if he does this.

I dunno, voice of evangelism on some stupid show? I admit it's a step down, but seriously, nobody needs him at this point. Trump is the GodKing of the Evangelicals. Pence will just have to accept that and move on to whatever scraps are offered.

So close and yet in the end, so far. Serves him right.

Haley would be a big gamble. Trump’s advisors might think that choosing her would help him recover some female voters, but that could easily backfire. He has awful chemistry with women; he’s bound to say or do something unpleasant. He might turn on her if he thought she was getting too much media attention.

He hates women, but the women that like him have already absorbed that, and don't care. In fact, most are the kind of women that accept that they are inferior to men and just need to put up with what male assholes think. I think Haley might pick up a few points, but honestly not much. Same with people of color. She would be mildly interesting for a week or two, but in the end, same old white men should rule the universe shit. She wouldn't help much, but I could still see him doing it, just cause he's stupid and thinks that having a woman, especially a dark woman, would solve all his problems.

r91 It is his attempt to pick up some squeamish center-right people. They believe she would balance the ticket. His staff are really big on her.

I doubt it will be couched as he dumps Pence. It would be Pence stepping aside to (fill in some hokey Christian stuff).

Again, the hitch is loyalty. Pence is very, very loyal. He values that above all so, in the end, he likely won't listen to his staff unless he gets spooked by poll numbers.

Ok Mikey ain't gonna be happy to find out his dreams of being president are about to vanish before his clay face.

I secretly hope he decides to go nuclear and blab about the shit that happened during the transition and implicate manafort, fat Donnie, Qsay and Uday and treason Barbie.

On fux noise;

He will no doubt accept the judgment of the Lord, that he is just too damn boring to be president and the adulterous asshole with all the porn star fucking is the one that the Lord has chosen.

The Lord indeed works in mysterious ways and if He wants the Anti-Christ in charge then so be it. Is that what the Evangelicals are really thinking?

Mike Pence is in Miami tomorrow to relaunch "Latinos for Trump".

No, seriously.

good lord, almost feel sorry for the bitch. Mike, blink if you are being abused.

Supposedly Barr killed seven cases that Mueller started as part of his investigation.

r99 Barr needs to die and fast.

Oh now that's interesting R98

Thinking women will line up and vote for the woman on the ticket did not work with Palin, and Dear Nimrata is brown, even if she is a hell of a lot smarter and savvier than Palin.

The reading of the Mueller Report was entertaining. I'd read it, of course, so I knew what would happen. I hope a few of the people who needed to hear it tuned in.

[quote]Supposedly Barr killed seven cases that Mueller started as part of his investigation.

They involved Facebook and Twitter? Guess Russian needs Barr to protect their best modes of fucking up our election.

Mueller, can you gives a hint on how to eradicate Barr?

Ryan knight runs an organization called lights for liberty. There will be nation wide protests against the concentration camps July 12.

There are plans also for a nation wide march against fascism in August.

I'm sorry, the march info should be in the thread about the camps.

Penny for your thoughts.

It should be #lightsoutforliberty because that is what is happening.

Oh, Mother

Former Trump campaign aide Jason Miller parted ways with the consulting firm Teneo after comments he made on Twitter to Rep. Jerry Nadler.

“I have parted ways with Teneo by mutual consent and look forward to formally announcing my next move in the coming weeks,” Miller told the Daily Beast on Monday. “Teneo is an incredible firm and without a doubt the premier CEO consultancy on the planet. They have always been great to me and I’m proud to have called them teammates for the past two and a half years.”

Miller was a managing director at the consulting firm and his departure follows several days after a profanity-laced tirade against Nadler, the head of the House Judiciary Committee, calling him a "fat f---" and a "f------ scumbag."

Miller also said Nadler "should take a long walk off a short pier."

He deleted his Twitter account Friday.

The comments came after Nadler referred to Hope Hicks during a committee interview as "Ms. Lewandowski" before she corrected him. Nadler claimed the mistake was not intentional.

Miller worked on the Trump campaign before joining CNN as a commentator. Miller left the network after an accusation that he secretly slipped an abortion pill to a woman. He called the accusation "false and defamatory."

Jason Miller - the guy who had to create a jawline using his facial hair? HE is referring to someone else as fat? God, these fucking assholes have absolutely no shame whatsoever. None.

More family values on display from one of Trump's favorite toadies, Duncan Hunter (R-CA), reported by The Daily Beast's Sam Stein:

So this latest DoJ file reveals that Duncan Hunter had an affair with at least three different lobbyists, one of his own staff members, and an aide to a member of the GOP leadership team.

I don't understand how the White House can bar anyone from testifying or speaking. We have freedom of speech and the rule of the law. It's not right that a criminal cabal can silence their cohorts when they are as dirty as they come.

[quote]So this latest DoJ file reveals that Duncan Hunter had an affair with at least three different lobbyists, one of his own staff members, and an aide to a member of the GOP leadership team.

Yeah, but is he a fat fuck?

Trump's crazy, but he ain't crazy. Loyalty would definitely be a huge concern with Haley. She is outspoken and she pushes back. And the way she handled the Mother Emanuel Church shooting was an exemplar. he said all the right things and they were heart-felt in the way only a condescending, authentic, patronizing racist can feel. She was very Southern. She would be a good choice for Republicans, but a really bad choice for Trump. And while she is an incredible opportunist, I have to wonder if she is so put off and disgusted by his corruption she might back away from him. IMO her ambition would take precedence.

Again, you have to figure how much is immediate gains vs. a lifetime lack of credibility?

Latinos for Trump was outed in one city as inviting Proud Boys to attend. It’s a scam.

Haley is very interested. It isn't she who is hesitant, but him.

It is all about loyalty.

Why does California keep sending these crooks to Washington? Now car thief and arsonist (alleged) Darrel Issa is eying Duncan Hunter's soon-to-be-vacated seat.

Just announced that Stephanie Grisham, who is Melania's communication director, is going to replace SHS. She doesn't know what she's in for.

Interesting little link. I follow this guy’s blog. He’s a former Republican who has turned his back on the new GOP.

"tRump taps Melania Trump's spokeswoman as next White House press secretary"

I'll bet tries to tap her... ewww...

The GOP will never be the same. The will live with the political ugliness of what he stirred up for a loooooong time. Serves them right.

They can't win on issues. So they cheat to win and scream SOCIALISM. They scream, "small govt" and "free markets" but can't explain what that even means like so many on here do that in other threads who get pissy when you ask to expain.

R125 - is that the woman who received millions and millions from Trump’s inaugural fund for doing basically nothing?

The play with a terrific cast reading the Mueller report was last night. I wish it had been broadcast. Here's a clip of some of it. John Lithgow as Trump is fantastic.

Fat fuck Christie! This is what we are dealing with regarding ALL deplorable.

No R129. The inaugural woman is Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was supposedly a "friend" of Melania, more likely an associate they latched onto. She worked on events like the Met Gala, and Trump hired her to run his inaugural. When she saw all the money that was being collected and funneled around, she went to Michael Cohen to complain and he got her on tape. The FBI got the tape, and now the whole scammy thing is under investigation by the SDNY. Among the falsified donation documents turned up so far is a $25K contribution in the name of Katherine Johnson, the 98 year old NASA math wiz who was portrayed in Hidden Figures, which lists her address as the NASA office in Virginia (not where she lives).

Wolkoff's firm was paid $26 million, out of which she paid herself something like $1.5 million. The rest went to pay off staff, contractors, caterers, hotels, etc., some at inflated prices. (Trump charged the inaugural $175,000 per day for use of his DC hotel space for instance.) She kept very good records of where the $26M went. Of the rest of the $107 million raised, however, a large chunk seems to have gone missing.

r131 In a nutshell, that is the problem. CC has no morals or principles. What the hell does the GOP stand for except empty platitudes of "small govt" and "pro-military".

Look at the rape allegations-

-he has had 16 allegations against him

-he is on tape saying he assaults women, that being a star allows him that luxury and he can do whatever he wants to them. He demonstrated he just kisses them and grabs their genitals

-when confronted with these allegations his first response is to degrade them. "She's not my type". Oh, what type do you like to assault.

-his words and deeds, like a serial killer or rapist, is to always degrade. He degrades everyone. When you degrade, you don't see them as people so you can do what you want to them.

So, he has multiple allegations along with his actual words and deeds to demonstrate the capability, the likelihood, to assault. In fact, he has admitted assault in the tapes. What left is there to discuss? If only the Central Park Five case were as tight as it is against our Rapist in Chief.

Anyone who still supports him is complicit with this and all the other horrible things he will do because he has demonstrated his behavior will not change.

Yet it is no surprise they still support him. I will later share some interesting talk I've had over the years with DC Dems, past and present, about what the GOP has become and why they've become this party we see today and why they have to cheat to win. One open secret in DC that everyone, repug or Dem, know- the 2000 was stolen by the GOP. Everyone knows it. Everyone acknowledges it. Gore won. We know it and they know it.

And another one bites the dust.

"Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner John Sanders told employees on Tuesday that he would be stepping down from his post on July 5, according to a spokesman for the agency. The resignation of Sanders, who became acting commissioner just two months ago, follows reports of children living in squalor at border stations where they often lack child care, bedding or even basic hygiene items."

[quote]The resignation of Sanders, who became acting commissioner just two months ago, follows reports of children living in squalor at border stations where they often lack child care, bedding or even basic hygiene items.

In other words, his work there is finished?

I don't know which ones are the bigger cowards - the ones who stick with this administration or the ones who quit.

And why do they all quit quietly?

Does trump take their balls on the way out the door?

Mueller will testify in public on July 17 before House Committees.

CNN: Mueller to testify publicly on July 17 following a subpoena

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m so disheartened from all that’s going on that I have very low expectations that Mueller will answer a single question.

He'd BETTER.

R150, I don't think he has a reason not to. I actually think his being subpoenaed to appear frees him. His internal rule book now moves to how to cooperate fully with a Congressional subpoena from his previous place of doing his job at DoJ under Barr. From what I've seen, that's how his mind works. He lives up to expectations of authority and now that legal authority is the Congress of the United States.

The link at R146 is worth a look: at the very moment Trump needs to show progress on “his” issue, immigration, he’s tearing DHS to shreds.

The guy who's taking over at DHS is a Fox News "contributor" who loves to wax psychotic on them dirty dirty brown people.

Well, he still needs to be confirmed. Has anyone checked on Susan Collins and her concerns?

[quote]Well, he still needs to be confirmed. Has anyone checked on Susan Collins and her concerns?

Nope. Acting head. Every single person running things at DHS and CBP is an acting official with no congressional review.

And she’s off and lying...

That Fox News guy is a huge, racist pig. I believe we should call then concentrations camps. There is nothing we can do...we are being taken down that Nazi path.

You got to be stupid to jump on board this sinking ship. How many people has he fired or have quit so far. Haley might be ambitious and career greedy, but I can't imagine she is that stupid.

I’m with r159. I think it’s a suicide move for her.

I think they're planning on using this guy the way they use Barr - a giant stonewall against any and all information about these detention centers.

Plus he believes all these children are "rental children" brought over to elicit sympathy, so that's just gravy.

With the Trump administration, it is one lie after another.

Why don't reporters start calling Trump on his lies? Instead of confronting him with his lies...they all stand around in silent and .that is disgusting.

Miss Thang may be late to work again this morning, but will have a glow when she does.

I hope Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell both die horribly and soon.

[quote]Sarah Sanders: Farewell happy hour not the "appropriate venue" to discuss honesty

Would it be the "appropriate venue" to discuss your jowls Sarah?

NYT on the scene at Sarah Huckabee's going away party:

“You’d better not say I was here,” one reporter said. “Me either,” said another. When asked why it was appropriate for journalists to attend a party for Ms. Sanders, John Roberts, the chief White House correspondent for Fox News, said, “I need to clear any comments with my media relations team.”

Nancy's slow drip plan is not her plan toward impeachment. The Dems seem afraid and she's losing any and all momentum she had and the slow drip makes it LESS likely we're heading to impeachment. She's stalling and hopes the election will take care of Trump. Let's hope Mueller leaves his double negatives at home and gives the Dems enough to kick start them into doing their constitutional duty.

Not entirely off topic:

1. The President publicly prostrates himself before the President of Russian amidst rumors of a salacious video

2. Miss Lindsey G. rejects former hero John McCain and binds herself to Donald Trump after (a not yet revealed) “something” during a private round of golf.

3. For some reason Senate Majority Leader, Mitch (married to an Asian; letterman, Univ. of Louisville, cheerleading) McTurtle subjugates himself to Trump’s every whim.

4. Diehard Cruz fanatic, Jerry Falwell Jr., unceremoniously switches his endorsement from Cruz to Trump after certain (yet unseen) photographs come into the possession of Trump attorney, Michael Cohen.

Is there a pattern here?

R168, thanks (seriously) for that turd of a gem. Utterly disgusting.

I think it is outrageous that it is costing over $700 per day per child to house the migrant children. Somebody is making a lot of money and now Trump wants even more.

Washington Post: New White House press secretary yanked Arizona reporters’ access after critical coverage

Media needs to expose the contractors running these concentration camps.So far at least two are huge Republican donors, and another has ties to Betsy De Vos.

Also I can't understand why the media has not taken the Trump administration to court to gain access to the camps. The administration will argue they re protecting the kids, and it's an invasion of privacy, but the DHS people are not allowing elected officials inside either. So there needs to be a huge push back. I mean. WTF aren't they even allowing donated toothpaste and tooth brushes, blankets and other hygiene supplies? People have been turned away with some lame "We can't accept donations " bullshit.

R170, more and more, I'm convinced that Trump is the Clown distraction and the Republicans are no different from him. They are all on the same page and this crowd is in the process of a coup. Bill Maher called it two years ago: A slow rolling coup. The Extreme Right is taking over our government, ignoring the Constitution, manipulating the Law, and breaking all the rules.

It is deliberate and we are in the early stages but this thing is picking up speed. When the Dems tell us we have to turn out in overwhelming numbers they are deadly serious. Numbers like we have never seen. We have to be out in the streets and we need to actually appeal to the UN to insist our elections be monitored. We can't be spectators.

^ great post.

I disagree with the “political theater” theory of Pelosi and Dems. She is absolutely stalling and trying to run out the clock. Pelosi is a huge believer in a) elections have consequences, and b) resolve problems at the ballot box. Time will tell soon enough if I’m wrong.

I’m not saying I’m happy about her strategy, but it is indeed a valid position. The only thing that would move Nancy is either an overwhelming push in her caucus or her first choice — an overwhelming push from the public to impeach. Unless and until she sees that she will *not* begin impeachment because she actually tries to be the voice of the People. The majority within the People have not, NOT, called for impeachment. *We* want it, many many people want it, but not anywhere near a majority. Yet.....

I want him impeached. But I actually believe she’s doing the right thing and will change course if these variables change as described above. The number one thing we can do is get every single person we know to VOTE. How do you convince someone to vote? Build trust. Nothing matters more than trust. If the people in your life see you consistently checking on them, listening to them, showing you care, they will trust you more later on when you tell them our democracy depends on THEM. Don’t even talk about voting with them right now. Build trust, build trust, build trust. When election time comes, that’s when you hit them with voting.

Having said all that, all these mother fuckers in TrumpWorld should be locked up then executed. I can dream, no? Yes, Bill Maher has it right on naming what has happened — a slow motion coup it is. Getting my coffee.

Always remember the Ukraine. That is the closest example to what is happening to us.

R176, I think you should give a one paragraph summary. Many don’t understand what happened.

[quote]New White House press secretary yanked Arizona reporter

Reuters: Trump, without offering evidence, accuses Mueller of illegal activity

Politico: Trump on Mueller testimony: ‘It never ends’

Me on Trump: 'It never ends'

Vox's Aaron Rupar watched Trump's a.m. interview with Maria Bartiromo so you don't have to. Lowlights include:

Bartiromo can't get a question in as Trump rants about how much members of Congress like him.

"Europe treats us worse than China. Europe is -- you know, look, I come from Europe ... European nations were set up to take advantage of the United States."

After spending roughly 30 minutes attacking China, Trump now says Vietnam is "almost the single worst abuser of everybody" and indicates he's considering tariffs on Vietnamese goods as well.

"Look, we should be suing Google and Facebook and all that, which, perhaps we will."

Trump is yelling into the phone about how Mueller "terminated the emails ... he terminated them. They're gone. And that's illegal. That's a crime." Bartiromo pretends to know what he's talking about and tries to ask a question. Trump just keeps ranting over her.

Where is our modern day Oswald when we need him?

Hahaha!!

Iran is right -

He’s a mental defective

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was never particularly a big fish, in terms of major policy determinations, in DJT's slimy pond. She sustained herself by being nasty to WH reporters, telling lies for Trump, and along with Kellyanne, delivering a bunch of bullshit propaganda. Kellyanne is a Senior Adviser, thus has a significant input for certain policies. Her violations of the Hatch Act, certainly warrants that she needs to go, and she should have been terminated long ago.

Hopefully it will "end" when Trump is carted off to jail along with his his grifter family and we never have to hear another word about him and them again.

CBS: House panel votes to subpoena Kellyanne Conway

Can someone post videos of Linsey trashing Plump from 2016?

It takes one to know one R185!

You reckon?

I don't know if this has been posted. I just find this CNN headline....I don't know. It isn't about the Democrats wanting to wound Trump. It's about bringing to light illegal activities and convicting the individuals guilty of said illegal activities.

Wound? Fuck that. Kill is better.

[quote]Always remember the Ukraine. That is the closest example to what is happening to us.

Everyone should watch the documentary Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom. It's really good (Oscar nominated) and is on Netflix in the US. If nothing else, it outlines what we are going to have to do if Russia hands Trump the 2020 election.

Is it on anything besides Netflix, r208?

R209, I don't see it officially viewable anywhere else. I'm sure someone will be able to point you to somewhere to watch it unofficially. Worst case scenario, check out your local library and see if they can get you the DVD. It's worth the trouble. The echoes of what happened in Ukraine are reverberating today in Russia's interference around the rest of the world. Putin needs to die.

Thanks, r210. I will hunt for it.

Is she watching with gal pals Kellyanne?

Fucking Chris Matthews. He said, before the debates, that the Dems aren't fiscally responsible and never really cared to be and wondered how a fiscally conservative candidate would fair at the debate. He was actually correct by Garrett Haake saying the GOP doesn't care about fiscal conservatism either

He is such a fucking dumbass. Fiscal conservatism is NOT the same as fiscal responsibility.

Fiscal conservatism= No SS, no Medicare, no Medicare, huge tax cuts for the rich, no regulations, no safety net.

Dems are the only party who have consistently paid for their policies and reduced the deficit. They are fiscally liberal but fiscally responsible.

The last 4 GOP presidents, including our current one, have seen the deficits explode due to their policies. They are fiscally conservative and fiscally irresponsible.

Sycophant Miss Lindz wants third Trump term.

Why do some of the candidates talk about winning WI, MI and PA like they are red states? He barely won them by the slimmest of margins. They are blue states and even IA, we won the entire state in the midterms except King's district and even that was close.

And the 2016 election was with heavy Russian interference.

They also need to stop with the coastal elite shit to. You can't get more coastal elite than our current WH resident. They play into conservative narratives when they say this as well as they need to get back to being the party of working people. We have always been that because the implication is the GOP is which is far from reality.

Dems have got to get their shit together on messaging and building a narrative.

Goddam those assholes! God, I fucking HATE rethugs. Nothing but hypocrite Nazis.

HAHAHA look at the news now! footage of Manafort doing the perp walk in NY state court. His hair dye has run out and he's all gray. He looks far from the flashy man he was just months ago

You could see when he was questioned by that female reporter that at his core Bernie is an angry misogynist.

That SC decision on gerrymandering will turn out to be every bit as damaging as Citizens United. They are just going to cheat their way to power come hell or high water.

I've been optimistic on this site but that decision is going to entrench GOP power.

So if the Supreme Court has decided that Federal Courts have no say over gerrymandering, does it then devolve to the jurisdiction of the state courts?

well this is why voting matters. We have 5 firmly conservative judges. Too many dumbass liberals and moderates in the flip states didn't vote in 2016 and combined with McConnell blocking Obama's right to fill Scalia's seat, we're fucked.

My interpretation of the Supreme Court ruling is state courts can over-rule partisan gerrymandering or enforce it. Either way it can be decided at the State level

Thank you r230.

Until there is a Federal Law that stipulates how districts are drawn. Just like the voting laws the WORMs have dismantled. Needs to be made Federal.

Wow. [R225] - I hate myself for saying this, but this current iteration of Manafort (gray hair, face filled out a bit, goofy smile) is quite attractive. Mind you, he is still ugly as fuck on the inside but the difference in what he looked like 3 months ago and now is startling. (also looked stoned as fuck - valium???)

I’d still do him. I like sleazy dudes on occasion.

It all leads back to McConnell someone needs to level that hatemongering demon in a sagging human suit to the ground and take away his power.

r252....they said News dump....not Cum dump.

R256, you bring up a great point. I really like Tim Kaine as a politician, but yes, a more progressive VP may have made the difference. I’m of the opinion that the Russian effort on social media made the difference, but it might have tipped the scales if she took a chance.

Lindsey avoids town halls in South Carolina. Folks in the low country are saying: "Lindsey, Lindsey, why won't you show? We have questions."

Lindsey spends more time on Sean Hannity than he does in South Carolina addressing any problem.

Resign Lindsey.

R258 No, the VP pick wouldn't matter. It wasn't just the Russians whipping up the deplorables. In retrospect, the media/polls lulling the public into complacency, Comey breaking protocols just to seed doubts, and the Bernie Bros smearing her as worse than Trump were all tipping the scale the other way to favor Trump.

It appears the Democratic party is the only party that actually tries to solve problems, has plans to solve problems, acknowledges problems. Whether we all agree with the actual policies, they are the only ones addressing them.

What is the point of the GOP if they don't even offer up solutions?

The VP doesn't really matter unless you make a huge gaff like Palin. Then it can be scary...but we got the Orange turd anyway.

R266 I actually think it turn a lot of moderates off of Trump. The ones who love the holiday but not necessarily him. They'll see it as really tacky that he's celebrating himself and not the holiday itself

only his base will love it

r266 I understand that the local people are not really happy about it. If you have never been to it, it is massive with a massive amount of people. They all have their "places" that they go and where they park, when they leave, etc. He has completely disrupted that. They said it may even affect one of the airports because of the fly zone. It is also costing us millions with his stage, his security, the Blue Angels flyover, etc. etc. etc. I hope he enjoys it because I believe it will be his last hurrah before he is removed from office.

For all those that wish him dead, impeached, in jail. NONE of that will affect him because he is delusional, and can live in his own little world convincing himself that everything is okay. BUT the one thing that will affect him and send him over the edge is if he loses his money. That should be the goal, that all his money and possessions are taken away from him and his family.

Cadet Bone Spurs, who got "selected" by "Russher" interference, and serves as a puppet to "Putty", should be ashamed to even show his face on July 4. But he has no shame.

And Congressional characters that cheer and enable his behavior are no better

So what is going to happen? The PBS show is at one end and the idiot is at the other end?

Thousands are gonna give him their backs? That will be great if the do.

WTF is he gonna do? Stand there and talk nonsense?

Tourists and locals want to see fireworks and hear some music. Few want to listen to Trump brag about himself and talk trash about his opponents. He'll see it as one of his rallies; and taxpayers will foot the bill of which certain people will pocket a portion of it.

Putin has invited Trump to Russia in May 2020, just months before the election.

R277 - that bloated traitor is also a broke ass bitch. He has NO MONEY! That is what he terrified of coming to light.

Media- politics as usual need to stop. Quit being complicit and letting these grifters lie to your face and ours. STOP!

Seems like the Bidens are doing quite well for themselves. At least this new additional mansion is a rental. For $20,000 a month!

I don’t begrudge him at all for making a good buck, r288. For years, he was really among the least wealthy politicians. He made a lot of money giving speeches and writing a book. It’s an honest living in my opinion. Better than representing special interests or taking bribes.

Nice try, r288

If Biden's and Jill's money was gained legally, see no problem. Most politicians in Washington, D.C. become wealthy before, during, and after serving in office.

The Washington Post would do better looking into the finances of Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao.

^ THIS!!!!!!!!

r291 That would require work. Plus, they don't want to accidentally wander into the Saudi Embassy........

and Trump's big NK stunt has wasted yet another day with distracting everyone temporarily from the Russher thing.

Mueller's testimony can't happen soon enough

Richard Engel tweet:

[quote]The highest-ranking North Korean defector in decades told me Kim Jong Un likes President Trump because he’s not “moral,” and doesn't judge. "All previous US presidents so far have been very moral and they paid great attention on the America’s moral image," he said of Trump.

r295 He can include the entire GOP in that assessment. A lot of this must be taken care of within the party to stamp it out. But it isn't. The Dems basically did this to the Dixiecrats. In their faces, they brought Civil Rights to fruition. LBJ said he knew it would cost the Dems the South for a generation. The is no such courage or morals on the conservative side.

[quote] LBJ said he knew it would cost the Dems the South for a generation.

Except it didn't. After two-party politics returned to the south the only two democrats elected president for half a century were southern governors. And democrats held at least parity until the regional wipeout during the second Clinton administration.

r297 Only because they hated the word Republican so much. They just couldn't let go of the hate for anything with a R next to their name until, culturally, the Dems moved further left.

So Turd had a fun autocrat week hanging with Putin, MBS and Kim. Now he'll come back to the US and be mad things aren't the same over here

He’s gonna be pissed about Ivanka being ridiculed over that video the French government released.

^^^^Expect tariffs on France to be announced any second

what video?

So sad, it won't be the same. The old team is getting depleted. But Kellyanne is still around.

Kellyanne's legs are the reason hosiery was invented.

R302, here is the thread about it:

That fool sucked up to lil Kim because pooty told him in no uncertain terms that he won't have his IRA troll farms and hackers intercede to hack votes for the GOP in 2020.

Since fat Donnie couldn't end the sanctions or do anything to help Putin's predicament, he's pretty useless in Putin's eyes so time to move on.

So fat Donnie is desperate to find a scumbag to help him win again by hacking the vote. Who better than lil Kim?

That's my theory.

If any other president had been this callous, there would be crowds in the street. But it's just another day for Trump.

I'm kind of pissed Trump has backed off the Huawei stuff and tarrifs with China. Either Huawei is a security threat or it isn't. I actually think it is.

The tarrifs seemed to be having a positive impact, too - at least big businesses were whining about them, which is usually a good sign.

It's the ONLY thing he has done as President that I agree with, and it's the only thing that isn't just the same Republican evil x2000 like the rest of his policies and what's going on in the Executive branch departments.

He'll give it a go, and if it doesn't pay off within a short time frame, he'll switch side capriciously. All his advisers should be wise to that by now... they are serving a mad king. One minute he will follow your advice... the next he will shut you out.

R328 Yes, the trade war could just be put on a lull for the 2020 election to be resumed later if he gets the chance. Trump uses his presidential power like a dictator according to his "instincts" and to his own benefit more than anything else.

NYT: Trump and R.N.C. Raised $105 Million in 2nd Quarter, Outdoing Obama

The president’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, called it a “massive fund-raising success” based on enthusiasm for Mr. Trump’s record, which he said no Democratic candidate could match.

Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the R.N.C., said the fund-raising allowed the committee to “identify troves of new supporters online and continue investing in our unprecedented field program.”

For a president who values large numbers and has told aides that he wants record-breaking fund-raising reports, the figures are expected to be particularly rewarding.

The Hill: Trump describes homelessness in cities as 'phenomena that started two years ago'

I guess he means "phenomenon". He really is a moron.

r356....I think the bigger takeaway is that he said homelessness started 2 years ago....the same time he became president.

When your moral compass is totally broken and that you are proud to separate the children from their parents and put them in concentration camps, you're probably proud to put people out on the street and raise the homelessness rate I guess. And when you are a narcissist, the more there are "losers" out there panhandling on the streets, the more, by comparison, you come out on top as a winner, I guess.

What a pig! I have no doubt that in his little twisted mind that he's proud of this record.

Multiple items from McDs.

How they think. Do you believe any Democrat can convince them otherwise?

Per Smellyanne:

"I have a whole list here of anchors and people on TV and Democrats who said it was a manufactured crisis, who now dropped the word 'manufactured,' and are calling what they see at the border, a crisis," she said.

"Chuck Schumer wants to talk about photo-ops? I saw one yesterday and it's called Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, going down to one of these facilities and making this outrageous claim that a woman is drinking from a toilet — which everybody who has control over that facility ... has said that is not true," Conway continued.

Conway said that when Ocasio-Cortez was challenged by a reporter on whether she actually saw someone drink from the toilet, "she put the window up" in her vehicle.

"People need to challenge this because she's one of 95 people, Democrats, who voted against the aid package. You either want the humanitarian aid, the $4.6 billion to go and help, or you want the photo-op."

have to say watching Ari Melber's show yesterday as he talked with former federal prosecutor John Flannery, I'm a bit pessimistic on how great Mueller's testimony will be. They were talking about possible strategies in case Mueller really doesn't fucking anything. They don't believe he'll answer anything hypothetical such as "would you have indicted Trump without the OLC guideline? " or "if someone who wasn't President did things would he/she have been indicted?"

and they were saying Democrats have to be careful not to ask a lot of questions he can't answer or can be vague about

Yeah my expectations are low for the Mueller testimony. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

How can so many people still support this fool and his odious family and administration? It's like all the brats in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory have taken all the treats.

It doesn't really matter, does it, r413? Whichever side the judge rules against will appeal.

As everyone has said, things would get worse before better. Whenever he knows things are not going well, he lies much more frequently and egregiously (if that is humanely possible) and tweets and rants in interviews at an accelerated rate. This is all happening. He is not hearing good things. Pay attention to what he lies about because likely he heard bad news in those areas. He is flipping out more so now than ever.

It does matter, R414 - Because there's such a thing as judicial ethics. This is a case where the judge should excuse themselves. That fact is irrespective of the case being appealed.

Nothing will become of the 4th of July trump rally. He'll go of script dozens of times. Hell babble on and on like the idiot he is talking about how great he is.

Totally agree, R449.

sadly I don't think anything can be done about Fox. They slap on the "opinion" logo underneath parts of their shows so I guess that technically follows the rules. Also it would be seen as highly partisan if Democrats went after them.. They'd cite the 1st Amendment.

the real question will what will white Gen X and Millennials do as they age? Will they eventually start watching Fox too? or will Fox will off when the white Baby Boomers do? I have a feeling Fox will start modifying their programming to adapt to white Gen X/Millennial tastes.

Their whole game plan seems to be to keep faking it now during the Trump admin and then act like nothing wrong or weird happened when his era is over

Whistleblowers from within President Donald Trump's National Security Council have told a congressional committee that efforts by former national security adviser Michael Flynn to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia may have violated the law, and investigators fear Trump is still considering it, according to a new report obtained by NBC News.

Career national security officials objected to the plan, citing what they deemed Flynn's conflict of interest, and also that the proposal sought to bypass a policy review that is required whenever nuclear technology is transferred to another country, the report says.

The proposal, which involved enlisting the U.S. nuclear power industry to build nuclear plants across the Middle East, was backed by a group of retired generals who formed a firm called IP3. Flynn described himself in financial disclosure filings as an "advisor" to a subsidiary of IP3, IronBridge Group Inc., from June 2016 to December 2016 — at the same time he was serving as Trump's national security adviser during the presidential campaign and the presidential transition, the report says.

The report quotes one senior Trump official as saying that the proposal was "not a business plan," but rather "a scheme for these generals to make some money," and added, "OK, you know we cannot do this."

"The whistleblowers who came forward have expressed significant concerns about the potential procedural and legal violations connected with rushing through a plan to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia," the report says.

"They have warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes. They have also warned about a working environment inside the White House marked by chaos, dysfunction, and backbiting."

Everyone's for sale in Trump's America...

I miss the swamp!

I wonder what will happen if Putin and his other handlers tell Trump in September 2020, that there's no way he can win. That he is totally going to lose. Big loss. Decisive loss. Not even close. And that the turnout will be the highest turnout ever recorded since we've been voting? He hates to lose. Will he have his people incite a riot so he can declare an emergency, suspend the Constitution, and institute martial law? Is this military show on the 4th of July a test run? A preview of next year? Hold me, Muriel!!! I'm scared!

Hell no R474. If that babyman thought there’s anyway he’d lose he’d not even run. He’d say his work is done, his MAGAts would believe him and ride off into the sunset. Well into federal court anyway.

Trump is terrified of prison. He is terrified of the possibility of being charged with crimes. He knows he is a criminal and that the Presidency is the only protection he has. He is hoping to run out the statute of limitations on some of that stuff. So I don't see him "retiring" in 2020 rather than losing. I see him doing whatever it takes to stay in the White House. Unless he can be iron clad assured of a pardon, and he can negotiate a deal with New York, and Virginia, on state charges, he will not let go. Now Barr's expertise in negotiating may come in handy. How ironic if he were able to negotiate Trump's departure!

Let me guess. Trump's next nominee for Secretary of Defense?

LOL R477, as interesting as that could be, I believe rump is not going to appoint anyone who has to go through a confirmation process. This is another example of McConnell giving away the power of the Senate. All Trump's recent appointments have been "Acting". By doing this he bypass the whole confirmation process, hearings, e tc. Our news media is slow on the uptake and so are the pundits, but that was the point of only having "Acting" Secretary of Defense, etc.

NBC: N.Y. Gov. Cuomo to act soon on two bills aimed squarely at Trump

obviously there's no question that Mueller is infinitely smarter than Jordan (to be fair most people are) but it all depends on how he answers questions. If he can bluntly refute Jordan's asinine questions, there'll be no issue. If Jordan asks something and Mueller gives a vague answer though, that will only provide more nutjob right wing fodder. We've seen from Mueller's 10 minute statement that he doesn't give a lot of straightforward answers.

Or, Jim Jordan, Child Molestation Enabler, though an OSU probe cleared him, college wrestlers say he still knew, did nothing, and are suing.

Or Mark Meadows, Selective Racist, though his grandchildren are biracial, it didn't stop him from treating President Obama like a jungle bunny to get his seat.

And, that's just what we know. So if there are others with INSIDER information on these Republicants, please let us know. Because the more we spread the truth (Datalounge, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) the less their lies will take hold.

That's because there's so many Republican Powers-that-Be in the Closet, there's no room for Rudy Giuliani's dresses.

And, that's the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Democrats take pride in our differences (Mayor Pete). While Republicans are ashamed of their differences (Lindsay Graham).

That's why Mayor Pete can be his own man. While Lindsay Graham is Trump's bitch.

Kellyanne Conway started a feud with AOC. AOC tossed Kellyanne's shit back at her with more of her own.

She loves it.

R504 Is that Lindsay GraHAM? Damn, she looks like a PIG.

R505 And, you completed the PIGture by putting an apple in her mouth. Damn, Lindsay GraHAM looks ROASTED and FRIED.

[quote][R499] Why are Republicans so fixated on anuses?

Throats, too, to be completely fair.

Can't tell you how many conservative idiots have reacted to progressive pushback with ENDLESS whining about the homo/islamo/transapo/liberal agenda being shoved down their throats.

It's scaary sometimes to think about how truly fucked up some people are. I look at the Deplorables, the young haters, and they are so fucked up. It's not just their support of Trump, it's the rest of their lives. They are completely fucked. They have difficulty with relationships, they are dumb, they have anger management issues, they are failures as far as jobs, education, etc. Yes, the older Deplorables, the over 50 crowd are just plain racist pigs and homophobes, etc. But the younger ones are a real mess.

Speaking of AOC, Joe Biden on Friday dismissed Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying her victory last year was not the kind that could win in a competitive race.

'I think Ocasio-Cortez is a brilliant, bright woman, but she won a primary. In the general election fights, who won? Mainstream Democrats.

He made his comments about the youngest member of Congress - who has become a national star in the part - as part of his argument that his more moderate ideas could win over liberal voters in the Democratic presidential primary.

NYT: Two Years Into Trump’s Presidency, Obama Remains a Top Target for Criticism

Reuters: Trump says immigration raids starting 'fairly soon'

R511 Reuters: Trump says immigration raids starting 'fairly soon'

No wonder Donald Trump is so desperate to get HIS citizenship question on the 2020 Census. As a legal means to scoop up the illegals, throw them into detention camps, and make bucks off HIS donors who run them.

Now, most would call this human trafficking. But, for the Republican Party, it's just another day at the office.

So did JFK Jr ever show up at Trumpito's shitshow last night?

I was promised by the Qanon psychos that he would come back from the dead.

R512 can someone put the money trail together for the detention centers?

You just know the moneys going to Erik Prince and Betsy DeVos.

There is no end to the evil that is William Barr. In fact all of the Republican party, is full of lowlife criminals.

R514 Though this is part of an essay I wrote about President Trump's inhumanity to man, you can see some of the bloody money trail that goes from Trump to Trump in regards to detention camps.

In 2017, President Trump gave private prison contractors billions to run immigration detention centers. Among these contractors are corporate Trump supporters CoreCivic and GEO.

CoreCivic gave $250,000 to Trump's inauguration. GEO gave $475,000 to Trump's campaign and inauguration. In 2017, GEO held their annual conference at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami.

R517 that’s not much of a kickback

Diamond & Silk lecturing other black folk about history. So, supporting Trump is an escape from the racists Democrats?

Academia needs to grab these two for distinguished Chairs in American History.

.

R518 that’s not much of a kickback

That might not be much for you but every little cent counts in kickbacks for greedy Donald Trump. The type of person that would take pennies off a dead man's eyes lying in a casket. Just to get something out of going to a funeral where he's not the center of attention.

However, that just the figures we know when it comes to detention centers. Perhaps, besides his taxes, Congress might want to look at Trump's stock portfolio to see how much he's really making.

In FY2017, GEO's stock price rose 63 percent; CoreCivic's stock price rose 81 percent. While, President Donald Trump told DHS to catch and hold tens of thousands more immigrant detainees.

R519 Oh, look it's Diamond and Silk! The skank and ho of the 21st Century Minstrel Show.

Poorly educated white Trump supporters are the people who are entertained by Diamond & Silk, and believe they are among the few in the black population that are enlightened. In reality, D & S are playing negative stereotypic behavior in mannerisms and language.

You don't have to be uneducated to be a racist. Diamond & Silk appeal to the people who buy in to the racist stereotypes of Black People.

So are the immigration raids picking up the more desirable illegals too? The ones hiding out in mansions in upper Sniff Michigan and big-ag farms way out in East Oshkosh Wisconsin? Are they also picking up the millions of illegal Chinese, like the one vacationing in Michigan and stomping on turtle nests? Are they closing down the naturalized baby motels for rich pregnant and foreign couples wanting to tag in on their child's citizenship run in Florida and LA.? Some of these operations use Trump properties, if I'm not mistaken? Are they picking up all the ed' visas that expired?

What a load of pandering, xenophobic, racist and selective bullshit.

oops, the illegal Chinese bitch was vacationing in Florida when she stomped on those protected turtle nests. My bad, her worse.

Washington Post: ‘A willingness to fight’: Win or lose, Trump’s push for a citizenship question in the Census is red meat for his base

USA Today: 'There was a very interesting problem': Trump adds mystery to why Pence abruptly canceled trip

Why do Democrats get blasted by the media for "pandering to their base" when all this fool does is destroy shit for his base of deplorables?

I'm sick and tired of this piece of shit and his endless pandering to these racist cunts.

I think Pence got called back to the WH because of an apparent nuclear submarine catastrophe was narrowly averted, resulting in the deaths of those 14 Russian sailors.

Trump can claim he did everything he could and his base will buy it. Elect me again and next time I will get it done. Lol. Bunch of fools.

CBS: Heavy police presence in Washington for "Demand Free Speech" rally

Other speakers scheduled for the demonstration include conservative and controversial names like Milo Yiannopoulos and, according to the rally's website, former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone. Stone still remains under a gag order, which actually blocks him from publicly discussing his ongoing legal case stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

According to Trump, whatever reliability one may give it, the Pence flight cancellation to New Hampshire pertained somehow to the site location where Pence was to give a speech.

Why this will not be explained for a couple of weeks is puzzling. Perhaps there was some kind of threat and an investigation is underway. Even if something like that is true, it is still perplexing.

Isn't it a coincidence that New Hampshire is one of the first stops on the Presidential campaign trail. Now, Donald Trump says he wants 4 more years (2020), and 4 more years (2024), and 4 more years (2028). Not so much for the JOB of President, but for the TITLE of President.

And, for the money train of donations that keeps rolling into the campaign. As, long as its name is Trump. In other words Trump is not about to let the money train stop at the Mike Pence Depot. So, look for Trump 2020 (Donald), Trump 2024 (Ivanka), and Trump 2028 (Ivanka) to keep rolling on.

So, perhaps, what a better way to start than to groom his little girl as VP in 2020. After all, it worked for George Wallace when his wife (puppet) became governor in 1966.

Jeffrey Epstein was just charged in NY. Is this related to why Trump was going off on Cuomo last week out of nowhere?

As I understand it, R538, it's the feds in NY who are going after Epstein. Frankly, I'm surprised that Epstein wasn't tipped off so he could flee the country.

Let’s not forget that Trump was accused of raping a 13yo with Epstein. This shit goes deep into some human trafficking and Illuminati stuff.

R537 Hillary wouldn't play golf...

Well, apparently Epstein worked for Barr's father at Dalton, Trump was accused of raping a 13 yr old at Epstein's party, which an employee of Epstein confirmed, and then Alex Acosta, as a U.S. Attorney, shut down the Epstein investigation. Alex Acosta is now Labor Secretary for Trump, and Barr is AG. The dots do connect. Oh. And some guy was ejected from a Trump Rally in Duluth for holding up a great big photo of Trump with Epstein. Trump told t he guards to get rid of him.

In the early 2000s Trump trafficked in underage Eastern European girls through TRUMP MODEL MANAGEMENT. He and Epstein would pimp them out to their "club" of friends. Trump would obtain HUNDREDS of work visa for these girls EVERY YEAR. As much as Trump tried to scrub it , there is still some articles out there.

There is no end to Trump's crimes, yet no one can lay a finger on him. Seems weird to me.

He is a sitting president and his crimes are hidden in Grand Jury testimony.

So one wonders if the unsealed indictment Monday will somehow involve Trump Model Management...

It's looking like it's going to take divine intervention to stop these monsters because no one else seems to be able to do it.

if you read this article then read the comments you will wonder how we have all survived together in this country. These Trumpers are as delusional as Trump and far crazier than I realized. You know that a lot of them will Never see the truth and absolutely worship the ground Trump walks on. I'm sure some are bots that just egg them on but still.................

.................and how Did Trump know? he knew this arrest was coming????

Is this the reason for the mystery Pence cancelation?

[quote] These Trumpers are as delusional as Trump and far crazier than I realized.

That line might carry more weight were it not posted in thread 110 of Trump is nearly finished now.

Wouldn’t any revelations about Trump’s involvement with Epstein cause Mark Burnett (and his religious wife Roma) to finally turn against him?

Something about this stinks. I want Epstein burned and I want all the dirt to come out because I just KNOW Trump is directly implicated. But I have to curb my enthusiasm because this is the FBI and the SDNY Feds going after Epstein. And you know Barr has to be completely aware of what's going down. Barr. So I don't trust it.

Of course there are people on Twitter who are saying that if Democrats are involved we want them to face the consequences....which is the direct opposite of what the Republicans would do to their guys. I just feel uneasy. Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have been smeared and shit on for years.

Trump is relentless. He thinks he get mileage within his base for attacking, and trying to humiliate Hillary. Bill was promiscuous. He loved the ladies. We know. But in all these years I don't recall anyone accusing him of forcibly raping a 13 yr. old, nor has he ever been accused of Trafficking.

So even though the Republican smear machine is going into high gear, I'm not on board with going after the Clintons. If this is their strategy I want them crucified.Trump projects a lot. So whatever he throws out here I hope it splashes on him too

Per R548

The Gateway Pundit is listed among far right-wing fringe and fake news sites

In several threads this morning, I have seen several links to fake news sites.

Just asking if someone smarter than me could please connect these dots:

Isn't it coincidental that in the same week, President Trump tweeted that the NY Gov was sending the NY AG out to bludgeon him. His Homeland Security watchdog made a report of immigrant overcrowding in detention centers with pictures. Justin Amash left the GOP. Trump's 4th of July was awash. And, pedo Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in NY.

Now, there will always be outsiders (his base aka the gullible and the stupid) that will support Trump. And, unfortunately, the GOP Congress and Trump's Cabinet are as dirty as he. But it seems that more and more insiders are as sick of him as we are (IC of Trump's insults and threats, Military of no raise and no competence, States of no help) that want that prick out.

But Trump is receive top grade comfort and advice.

No limit by Bill Barr eating shit for Trump.

Article from Laurence Tribe

So what you're saying R551... is that you're at roll. Got it.

AFP: UK's top envoy in US says Trump executive 'inept': report

CNN: Justin Amash on what his GOP colleagues say behind closed doors

R551 proves exactly how delusional they are.

R551: Are you actually able to read? This thread is called Treasons to DELAY.

R553 it's a Deplorable, of course it can't read. Just take a look at the rest of its barely coherent posts.

'Mother' is pleased Mike still refuses to dine with other women.

Of course Miss Thang is an exception.

It's a wonder that she's worried about him being alone with other women.

Tarot reading on Jeffery Epstein

Mike may not dine with women, but he’s sucking dick every chance he gets like a motherfucker.

The latest from the Times. Waiting patiently for the Trump connection.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Pelosi knew all of this was coming and that it was all going to end at Trump and that's why they had to hold off on impeachment? Let's watch the Repugs in Congress vote to not remove a child sex trafficking asshole who rapes 13 year olds when that is charge number one on the impeachment crime list.

psychics said Pelosi has some extremely explosive stuff that she just got on Trump and isn't sure yet how to handle it.

I'm not convinced that any ties Drumpf has with Epstein would do him in with his Deplorables or other Rethugs. They simply don't care.

Rethugs only care about pedo stuff when it involves Hillary and an imaginary pizza parlor.

Trumpy just got the highest approval ratings of his presidency, coming in at...

...wait for it...

44%.

It’s infuriating, r574. The press played it as a comeback number. Look! He’s at his highest ever! It’s piss-poor—it should be the lowest number.

Yeah, I was depressed until I heard that number, then I started giggling like a schoolgirl.

Highest approval ratings for comparison.

Obama: 69%

GW Bush; 90%(!)

Clinton: 73%

Poppy Bush: 89%

Reagan: 71%

Pence doesn't dine with ladies because he has no tolerance for fraus. The only good frau is "Mother" and you know that nobody touches their moms.

My apologies to women for the use of the word frau. It's used in the context of loony episodes DL disparagement.

How the hell did Dubya get 90%?

Finally this thread will hit 600 soon! It was a long DELAY for sure. :)

r578 9/11.

r579 I was proud to be in that 10% who didn't support him. Ever. And I was 16 at the time and didn't trust him.

R580 Hey, FCI good to see you back. Do you have anything to add to all the news of late? Your insider information would be very helpful.

Do we have the next thread set up OP?

Yeah, if you think the rethugs will do anything about the pedos, you're delusional.

They will wring their hands, clutch their pearls and be "concerned". But they won't do anything to stop it or condemn it or even vote to impeach the guilty fuckers.

Because they are the scum of the Earth like that

Trump’s approval rating has “soared” to a point and a half above where it usually is.

r582 I've never left. I just don't tag myself often. I post every day.

I don't have anything at the moment. A lot of my friends are working on campaigns. I may join one once the field is significantly narrowed. I am supposed to travel to DC by the end of July if everyone can get together. I will surely let you guys know if I get any good insider information.

R584 Of course the ReTHUGS won't do anything about pedos. Especially, since these ReTHUGS are pedos themselves.

R586 Thank you FCI.

Also, please see attached Palmer Report article all about Despondent Donald. Boo, hoo, ha, ha, ha.

[quote]Yeah, if you think the rethugs will do anything about the pedos, you're delusional. They will wring their hands, clutch their pearls and be "concerned".

Don't look at me, even I'm not "concerned" about this shit. Screw that!

R575, Matt whatsisname on ABC This Week said today that Trump poll number is as meaningless as “a thin guy at a fat camp.” Heh heh.

Me too, r581. I was in total shock especially when we invaded Iraq. I couldn’t believe people were behind it.

New thread was started a little bit ago.

Trumpy just got the highest approval ratings of his presidency, coming in at......wait for it...44%.

That's not quite the story. After the dem debates he now has the highest ratings of his presidency from the ABC/Washington Post poll, 47%. The prior ABC/WP poll before this was 42, and 38 before that in January.

Overall Trump RCP average currently is 45. Looking at the RCP database Obama third year average approval was 46.5.

New thread was started 2 hours ago. OP didn't seem to link it yet?
