Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Shadowferal]

Right, like that Clinton tarmac meeting?

I suppose that for you that makes it all okay.
This is why Russia is...what it is.

I suppose that for you that makes it all okay.

Why does it have to be okay?

It is simply ongoing concern. Might as well write in cronyism as job requirement. No improvement in sight.

This is why Russia is...what it is.

And this is also why US is what it is.

[Zan15]

AG meeting "private citizens" to discuss ongoing case in a place where it was only found out due to pure chance - nope, no corruption whatsoever /s

and that has to do with the conversation about presidents and their lawsuits...during their presidencies.....??


I mean we can start pulling all the pre-president stuff trump was involved in if you really want to talk about corruption. Makes Hillary look like a amateur

[Rasulis]

good old most transparent administration ever...….they just won't tell you anything.

Revealed: Trump's $100,000-per-couple Silicon Valley fundraiser being held at 20-room mansion owned by former Sun Microsystems exec located on hillside retreat in nation's wealthiest town

The president heads to Silicon Valley, Beverly Hills, and San Diego for fundraisers

Campaign chiefs, not actual hosts, are listed on invitations

Donors paying up to $100,000 per couple

Precise location details are being withheld

I think it is funny that many of his donors/supporters don't want their identities known.

I don't think the Democratic donors have any similar issue.

President Donald Trump renewed his complaints about homelessness Tuesday during a swing through California, talking about the harm it does to taxpayers seeking prestigious real estate and warning that cities will "destroy themselves" if his administration doesn’t intervene.

The homeless are living in "our best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to building," Trump told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One with him to a string of fundraisers in California. "People in those buildings pay tremendous taxes where they went to those locations because of the prestige.”

Trump went on to say he has been talking to "foreign people, foreign tenants" in California who want to leave the country because of the homeless problem. Trump has been increasingly raising concern about homelessness, and said the White House would be taking some sort of action soon.

"In many cases they came from other countries and they moved to Los Angeles or they moved to San Francisco because of the prestige of the city, and all of a sudden they have tents," Trump said. "Hundreds and hundreds of tents and people living at the entrance to their office building. And they want to leave. And the people of San Francisco are fed up, and the people of Los Angeles are fed up. And we’re looking at it, and we’ll be doing something about it."

Donald Trump is a man devoid of empathy for his fellow American, placing more value of a rich foreigner renting property than over US citizens in crisis.

Fuck this man. Fuck every atom in his body, and his inability to have a shred of human decency.

[mvaliz]

Trump has no convictions.

Read into that what you will.

Well played, good sir! ^_^

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

As stated it was a fundraiser for multi-millionaires and Trump believes that speaking about classism and the 'dirty peasants' who you have to see while drive to work.

Jesus tap dancing christ. Republicans aren't even pretending to give a shit anymore, they're just rambling and wasting time.

Ah yes, those ‘dirty coastal elites’... it does sound better than ‘dirty peasants’.

And Nadler threatening to hold him in contempt. Don't threaten, fuckin do it.

[Shadowferal]

Nadler is such a pussy...

[Shalcker]

and that has to do with the conversation about presidents and their lawsuits...during their presidencies.....??

It was response to this.

It's called having the Attorney General...y'know, the highest law enforcement official? as your own personal lawyer that can enable any illegal activity for his boss.

Simply different branches of corruption (and cronies).

JUST IN: Nadler considering holding Lewandowski in contempt https://t.co/QEBp47UecR https://t.co/iNVW3dUKeu

I swear the Democrats are the worst at an opposition party. Complete wussies and why this party is a joke.

I didn't watch and caught Twitter highlights. Seems Lewandowski was a punk and talked junk throughout the hearing. Lewandowski being stupid did admit some things, yet on other he completely gave the House Judiciary the middle finger.

More than anything on impeachment turning against them by turning off voters or obviously dying in the Senate but most all is them willing to self destruct.

[Grapemask]

Trump is so innocent, that's why he needs to ask everyone he knows to refuse to answer questions about how innocent he is. Defy those subpoenas too, resist telling those libcucks how innocent he is!

Another election under Trump, another wave of Republican retirements. It's almost like these people don't want to work alongside him and the current Republican party at the national level.

I swear the Democrats are the worst at an opposition party. Complete wussies and why this party is a joke.

They're just fucking shit at politics, period. If they were remotely competent they'd be steamrolling elections left and right as they usually have numerical advantages.

Yes, and Republican members went on rambling, aimless speeches, asked completely unrelated and irrelevant questions, and constantly tried to interject to gum up the works. Literally more of the same shit we've seen for the past 3 years.

[cubby]

The entire Lewandowski subpoena and "testimony" was just another Trump-esque shitshow designed entirely around a campaign announcement.

He's about to announce a run for the Senate in New Hampshire. This was all about getting his name out there in public, and almost nothing to do with the House subpoena. Nader should have shoved him out the door the moment he refused to answer a question.

[Ripster42]

Nader should have shoved him out the door the moment he refused to answer a question.

No, they should have held him in contempt and jailed him.

So remember when Trump said he would "drain the swamp"? Also, remember when he said he'd create a Constitutional Amendment to prevent WH, Senate and Representatives from lobbying?

Well, funny story.

Trump has put more former lobbyists into Cabinet-level posts than either Bush or Obama.

"Well, okay, but in the next --"

Obama had five, total, in eight years. W had three, total, in eight years. Trump's under three and has seven so far.

"Hey wait, I thought Obama signed an Executive Order banning lobbyists from being appointed for two years. And I remember he did it right away, Jan 21 2009. So clearly all -- "

And guess what Trump did right away, Jan 28 2017?

"...no."

Yep. Reversed it, and asked his appointees to follow the honor system. And, yes, the WH is swimming in honor these days, isn't it?

"Okay, but at least --"

There are currently two open investigations into the lobbyists Trump hired, that broke that rule. Here's one and here's the other. Also, Wheeler, head of the EPA, represented coal as a lobbyist. Gee. Haven't seen the WH push coal, have we?

There's probably a specific meaning to "Drain the Swamp" Trump is using here. I'd love to hear what it means. Because I think it means "removing corruption from government" and putting lobbyists in charge of the agencies they used to lobby to, at a rate far exceeding the previous two Presidents, doesn't sound like it.
