Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

Trump is on that shit again.

I have to wonder, does Trump actually know Iran is enriching uranium because Trump, personally, directly, and specifically, told them to do so by virtue of leaving the Iran Nuclear Deal?

It would have been a bad step, except they were suffering the penalties anyhow. If I could either
a) lose $5
b) lose $5 but have a Subway rotisserie chicken with smoked chedder, banana peppers, and no fucking mayo

I know which of the two I would pick. Yes, I realize Trump spent his life expecting people to do work for him and not be paid, but, did he really think Iran, of all people, would do that?

I'd love to hear how, somehow, this isn't Trump's fault.

Also @kaelleria that's an interesting post about vaping. Question: which is more harmful, vaping or drinking water with coal sludge? And how do you feel about leading questions?

[Mayhem]

Bullshit. Adults like flavours too. I suppose you think daiquiris are targeted at kids?

So that's just a coincidence?

Nikki Haley's book is out, and in it she tells us that Tillerson and Kelly tried to recruit her to "subvert" the Resident, in order to "save the country".

Really interesting.... It basically confirms that there were many people in Trump's administration that were concerned that Trump was horrific for the country. Smart people Trump appointed.

Its weird how the trumpers label anyone who dosen't agree with trump as "triggered sjws" and his own fucking staff hate him, including life long republicans and military veterans- and then they turn on them and call them "leftist sjws"

I wonder if we are gonna hear the excuse "We are republic and not democracy" as if the two concepts are somehow contradictory. Basically they only care about laws/democracy when it benefits them.

just show them a trump tweet, since they know trump is promoted by god himself and can not be questioned in any circumstance

Another Republican, this time New York Congressman Peter King, won't be seeking re-election. Reason given, he doesn't like the commute anymore. Though he has been in congress since 1993, so over 26 years. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4...lection-report

Seems more likely he might end up losing. He won in 2018 by only 7 points. Compared to 2016 where he won by 25%, 36% in 2014, and 16% in 2012. https://ballotpedia.org/Peter_King#Elections

Think he sees the writing on the wall, especially with such a dumbass like Trump on the card in the same party as him.

"Doctored transcripts"? Much like the one Trump put out? Funny how that works.

More garbage to feed the uneducated masses, sadly.

I shouldn't ask, but what is Trump getting at with the lawyer taking all credibility away? Is it the whole cease and desist thing that lawyer is trying?

He said something like the whistleblower's lawyer is a super democrat, anti-trumper, and "you won't believe it when you find out what he's been up to". Standard crap like that. I don't think he ever went into specifics.

Still doesn't change the fact that Trump still committed a crime. Wouldn't surprise me to see if he would try this defense, saying that because the whistleblower was a Never Trumper, it means that he should be exonerated of the traitorous bullshit he committed.

Is it as incredible as what Trump found out about Obama's birth certificate?

Because he still hasn't told anyone.

Was he...triggered?

What a waste dump of a human being. Did you see some comedians mocked up the cover of his book and retitled it "Daddy please love me..."?

Press "F" for respect over the Bowling Green Massacre.

The president’s reliance on Twitter as a medium for conducting policy puts U.S. negotiators at a disadvantage, said Barry, noting, “The negotiating sausage-making and resulting ping ponging of positions would be better done in private.”

Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said Trump may have oversold the likelihood of a favorable deal to placate Wall Street, and now risks being boxed in by those earlier statements.

After a few years of "We have a deal almost ready!" followed by, "Just kidding, back to square one!", Wall Street is apparently now beginning to wonder if Trump has just been jerking markets around (some make call it manipulating them) rather than been honest in his characterization of the trade talks.

They're smart ones, these traders.

The issue was first raised by the Popular Information website run by Judd Legum, former editor-in-chief of ThinkProgress, a progressive news site. It scrutinized at least 15 contests the Trump campaign has run since last year offering the chance to win breakfast, lunch or dinner with the president.

“Supporters are enticed to donate to Trump’s campaign with promises of free travel, accommodations, and an ‘epic’ meal with Trump at various locations across the country,” the site said. “An investigation by Popular Information, however, did not uncover evidence that anyone has ever actually won.”

A second post by Popular Information identified a prize of breakfast with Trump in New York, advertised in hundreds of Facebook ads, as fraudulent. It noted that while Joanna Kamis was invited to a breakfast event in the city, Trump did not attend any meal with her and only took a photo with her later.

Painter, now a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, said: “You’ve got to have the lunch or dinner. People pay money to enter it and you’ve got an obligation to do what you say you’re going to do.

“If you did this is any other context, and you don’t have a winner, it would be fraud and you get sent to jail for that. You can’t just lie to people. We’ve had fake lotteries in the past and it’s illegal.”

Known liar and grifter, Donald Trump, continues to lie and grift.

The latest? His campaign seems to be raffling off chances to dine with the president in return for campaign donations and...there's no evidence or indication that any of these meals are actually taking place, which would make advertising them a fraud.

They did find a winner who went to breakfast with Trump and went!...except Trump wasn't actually there at the breakfast as advertised. He did take a photo with her later, though.

The Trump campaign tried to push back...

As supposed proof, Perrine sent a link to a Washington Post article from October 2017 that showed a photo of donor Chris Chavez and his father, Tracy Chavez, meeting Trump at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona. But Chavez had entered a different type of competition which did not involve a meal.

But unsurprisingly, it didn't go well for them.

Trump reportedly called Bolton at home to complain about a CNN story that said the Navy was pushing back against Russian aggression in the Black Sea. When CNN portrayed the move as a response to Russia, the White House told the Navy to cancel the maneuver.

Incredible! If cooberated by Bolton very damning. It looks as though Trump was again appeasing Putin.

Someone posted in the Impeachment thread, on how OMB director at the time Mick Mulvaney canceled an order of javelin missiles to Ukraine, because if the deal would have gone through, it would have upset Putin.

I think people will be studying and analyzing everything that has happened for years to come honestly.

I think people will be studying and analyzing everything that has happened for years to come honestly.

And I hope that people use that to craft stronger restrictions on presidential powers so that the same kind of thing doesn't happen again with an actually intelligent malignant person trying to do it, rather than Trump's idiotic malignancy.
