Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[TwistedSkull]

Just started watching season 2 of the IT crowd and saw a clip that reminded me of Trump.

So . . . is this the part of the season where things start falling apart for the villain as the show works its way to the finale?

Because I'm getting sick of this season. The writing is too over the top, the villains are cliche. Last season, when we still had Barack Obama, it was bland but believable. But I mean come on, a porn star affair AND the Russia thing at the same time, plus all the stupid shit this Trump character keeps doing and saying? No one's that stupidly incompetent.

We need new writers.

So it appears part of the GOP 2018 strategy is, "Elect us because Democrats want to impeach the president!"

Which is beyond ludicrous, because if Trump was truly innocent as he claims and the GOP apparently believes then this would be a non-issue. Democrats would impeach, fail due to a lack of evidence, and end up humiliated. But I guess anything they can do to try to rally the troops for the mid-terms.

Funny, Democrats promising to impeach would pretty much guarantee my vote.

Also reminds me of Tommen Baratheon.

I guess this is as good a thread as any - Trumps legal team attempted to have a case against him alleging he incited others to violence at his rally dismissed. Federal judge disagrees and is allowing the case to move forward.

More bad news for Trump. He (lost) settled the Trump University fraud case and is now on the hook to repay his victims upwards of $25 million.

[Shadowferal]

The NY DA gets intel likely loaded with proven documents. He goes to a judge and gets all "show and tell" to justify signing off on a warrant.

They got a few tanks, 4-6 healers, and a lot of DPS to get the epic loot from Cohen's office and home. It was like two raids in one.

"an attack on our country." LOL!!!

From the way Trump is complaining that he was ganked it sounds like phat lewts indeed dropped and he's sad he didn't get any.

Developing story, but, this is a serious wedge being driven here. Lawyer-client confidentiality doesn't apply to...

...uh...

Holy shit, is all of this going to end in more sex stuff just like Clinton? It is, isn't it? Trump isn't just speedrunning Nixon, he's speedrunning Clinton! The guy who resigned before impeachment, and the guy who fought it and survived! He's double-majoring in corruption and collusion!

I am seriously going to die laughing if what does Trump in is the fact he paided off a porn star. This is just truly fucken amazing.

Fun fact if this gets Trump impeached that means Stormy can say she made a President go down.......LOL

(Now to bleach out my brain).

“The families of America take a look at this budget and these humongous deficits and the doubling of the debt and so forth and the out of control spending….this is the most unbalanced fiscal story coming out of Washington, really in our history.”

"Yeah! Which red-blooded Real American said that?"

Kudlow.

"Yeah! Take that, Schumer budget!"

Actually, he said that in 2009. He was complaining that the CBO said the debt would become 68% of the GOP by 2019.

"And...with the Trump tax cut for the rich?"

105% by 2028.

"And Kudlow's against that too, right?"

Nope. Defended it. Said Obama's spending was bad, because it wasn't being spent on growth, like infrastructure.

"But...Trump doesn't have an infrastructure bill."

No, he doesn't. He has a plan, that has to wait until after the midterms.

"And...he still signed the budget. And the tax cut for the rich. That's why the deficit is ballooning."

Yes. Yes it is.

explain the FBI raid to me

3 Simultaneous raids on 3 locations. Each raid had two teams. One to protect any privileged information, then a second team to gather the evidence.
All of this was approved by the SDNY US Attorney, and approved by a judge.

Pretty unheard of for the President's personal coffee boy.

Legal question;
If a bag of popcorn has a law degree and is bar'd. But the popcorn is complicit in crimes with his client.

Are the salt and butter still privileged?

[Breccia]

In an exchange that will set the tone for Trump's upcoming Latin America visit, Trump asked the Panamanian govt to intervene on his behalf in that dispute with the hotel that dragged his staff out, then carved his name off the building.

They refused.

Fox news always says the opposite of what is true.

edit - I somehow made this post without taking the opportunity to refer to a group of pandas as an "embarrassment of pandas" for which I feel shame.
