"Make America Great Again"the F'dup Chapters in American History (The Trump Years) - Part 5

[Fading]

Seriously? I saw you guys talking about a $300 billion bill, and was thinking it was something stupid like he had an actual paper billion dollar bill printed. Like the talks years ago of minting billion dollar coins to pay on our debt.

I decided to Google it...He actually handed Germany an unofficial invoice for $300 billion for NATO!?! Does he understand how any level of his job works? I try not to be rude, but that's next level stupidity for a president. It's perfectly fine for your avg citizen to not know this, but not only does Trump not know, he became insulting to an ally over it. At this rate he's going to alienate every country from us.

The only good to come out of this is Trump may learn something about how the government functions, and something about diplomacy. Especially from all the burns he's getting from being schooled.

I wonder what is making Donnie nervous...

You want the abridged version?

Something had to provoke those tweets. All the focus on Nunnes perhaps? Talk of Flynn flipping.

It is Trump's go-to move when something unflattering and potentially damning about him is either out or about to come out to try and distract from the story with an even larger (and usually fabricated) story about someone else.

He's having a lot of trouble doing that lately though because his ties to Russia are not going away no matter how much he tries.

The Trump administration sought to block Sally Yates from testifying to Congress on Russia

Another black eye to Trump's reputation.

 

[fancyarcher]

There's no way to fire this guy from the investigation?

It's clear he's beyond biased and possibly compromised.

He isn't possibly compromised, he is compromised. He is in cahoots with Russia, otherwise he wouldn't feel the need to act so suspicious.

This is not something an innocent person would do.

They have a lot to hide and are like everything else they do, terrible at hiding it.

We're definitely at the 'when' phase of Trump's impeachment.

Sadly, the fractured GOP won't do it unless public outrage and moderate politicians pressure them to do the right thing.

 

[Teelie]

Had he been Clinton (or any non-Republican) they would have started already.

So Trump is going to use the Constitution to shut down anyone wanting to sue him...

 

[samsnee]

So he's saying he's above the law?

Who's acting like an emperor now?

 

[Lily Adler]

You Dems and your slandering to fit your snowflake agenda. It's ludicrous. Trump won deal with it. The man wins all the time, and your coloring won't stop him or this great adminstration.

 

[Boom]

We're definitely at the 'when' phase of Trump's impeachment.

I'm not so sure.

I'm starting to think the GOP will do whatever it can to brush this Russia scandal under the rug as quickly and quietly as possible. The fact that they won't greenlight an independent investigation sort of speaks for itself. They're trying to control the narrative as best they can.

 

[Zur-en-Arrh]

i'm not surprised, libido. these liberal slushpuppies have never made a deal in their life, let alone thousands of absolutely enormous deals--i'm talking real estate here, sweetheart--the kind of deals everyone said were probably the biggest deals ever made. *so big* in fact, that some deals had to be split into smaller deals, and yet even those smaller deals are unarguably--unarguably--bigger deals than any of these low-energy liberals would ever *dream* of making. no, it's true. it's true

 

[Schlosser85]

Sad!

I don't know. We are only on month 3 (jebus, how time flies). I don't think we are going to be allowed to forget this. And this is really only beginning. I mean, look at just how much is still coming out on Flynn.

Watergate took 2 years.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Man, this White House really has it out for April Ryan. President Trump effectively made it seem like she knows all black people, and that she was a secretary too.

And Sean Spicer just talks down to her at today's press briefing, and tells her to stop shaking her head like he's her father or something.

I couldn't do that job. I'd literally tell Spicer to eat a whole bag of *****. I couldn't have the patience to deal with an ******* like that.

 

[Legendver2]

The mental gymnastics of his supporters is at an Olympic level. You go to alt-right forums, and it seems every failed move Trump makes, to them is some 4d chess move for the future. You can't make this **** up.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah. I don't know how those correspondents handle it. I wish just ONE of them who is really well off financially and could handle a career hit would just call Spicer a f***head during one of those briefings. I hope to God he's implicated in this Russia scandal so that he ends up in prison with the rest of these a**holes. Sadly though, after the impeachment, he'll probably just get his own show on Fox News called "YELLING AT REPORTERS WITH SEAN" or "LET'S GET SPICY."

Cognative dissonance combined with an inability to admit being wrong. Not just the alt-righters but the people who foolishly (and this is the majority of his base I think) believed he could actually do a better job than any other contender, Democratic or Republican.

So many people hitched their wagon to his grandiose promises to reform Washington DC only for him to flounder like the incompetent conman he is. How this happened is a result of constant meddling in how votes are counted and how politics is pay to play. Pay the right people and you win.

 

[djsunyc]

i think the russians bailed out trump financially over the years and are the main driving force behind his presidential runs. he is an operative for them as he will do everything in his power to lift all sanctions and to restore economic freedom for russia. i don't think russia is concerned with local policy so he will most likely do whatever the republicans want (even tho he will put on public displays of noise like he always does).

but at the core, he is in bed with russia, they helped him win the election and he will now help them. that's just the beginning - what they plan to get from him down the road...who knows.

at least that's my simple theory.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Russia stuff is clear as day. They are trying to cover it up and the Republicans in Congress are trying to help them. If they succeed, it just shows what we already know, that the party is all about themselves, and nothing to do with the US or its people.

Yep. Places like Breitbart has a big crisis over Trump defending Ryan's healthcare bill, and the subsequent mental hoops they're jumping through to maintain his credibility is increasingly asinine.

This is the smokiest Trump's Russian ties have ever been.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...es-russian-mobsters-organized-crime/98321252/

"Trump's business network reached alleged Russian mobsters"

• A partner in the firm that developed the Trump SoHo Hotel in New York is a twice-convicted felon who spent a year in prison for stabbing a man and later scouted for Trump investments in Russia.

• An investor in the SoHo project was accused by Belgian authorities in 2011 in a $55 million money-laundering scheme.

• Three owners of Trump condos in Florida and Manhattan were accused in federal indictments of belonging to a Russian-American organized crime group and working for a major international crime boss based in Russia.

• A former mayor from Kazakhstan was accused in a federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in 2014 of hiding millions of dollars looted from his city, some of which was spent on three Trump SoHo units.

• A Ukrainian owner of two Trump condos in Florida was indicted in a money-laundering scheme involving a former prime minister of Ukraine.

So, it looks like Nunes is no longer going to tell the rest of the Intel committee what information he saw, and what the source of the information was. He previously said he would inform the committee of all of it. Now, he's informed Rep. Eric Swalwell that there's a letter in the mail.

Yeah. A letter in the mail.
