Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

Gets even more crazy

Like i said crazy, ffs. His answer to everything is complain or sue even when there is no basis haha!!

You would think the republicans would want rid of the craziness so they can get things done and put Pence in charge. Not that he is a better option just that the media circus would die down.

Although the media circus is allowing the Senate to craft a healthcare bill behind closed doors without any hearings or public pressure and similarly to pass repeal of Dodd Frank in the House so perhaps they are reasonably happy?

I heard a republican pundit saying yesterday he'd be better off never mentioning Comey , Russia , the inquiry or anything related to it again . It's no surprise he completely disregarded it .

You know as i typed my last comment, i was thinking about the closed door stuff. But then i remembered that if you read into most of it they are still disagreeing with each other on most of it because the Republican party is more divided than the left.

But you are 100% right it defo serves their purpose. That's why i wish journalists would get their act together and push the real issues. They need to stop getting caught up in the stupid stuff. For one organisations need to simply assign one person to his twitter account and have the rest of them work on real stories.

There are quite a lot of good journalists reporting on these events but it os hard for them to break through the noise - after all the Comey testimony is far more interesting from a TV spectacle point of view and newspapers are like any other business in that they tend to serve what customers want to consume.

Although did find this compelling


The healthcare bill in the Senate is unfortunately a lot closer than it was last week, as we saw in the House the moderates are caving

Hmmm, depending on who you talk to...Trump tweets either are or are not "official Presidential statements"

If they aren't, could Comey sue for defamation, slander, something along those lines? Trump has accused him of perjury.

Former Obama White House ethics lawyer seems to be on the case for the memos.


The chance that Comey even did the memo leak, let alone admitting it under oath, without consulting with some pretty decent lawyers I'd say is zero. Doubt he'll go after a case for slander/defamation himself, my sense is he thinks Mueller will have a decent case of obstruction of justice and Comey can afford to be patient and eat his dish of revenge cold.

 

[LinekersLegs]

This is a concerning trial balloon.

Mueller doesn't report to Trump directly so he can't shut him down that way but I wonder if Rod Rosenstein is getting behind the scenes pressure.

One has to wonder if there are days when President Trump wakes up and thinks, “Do I really need all this?” It has become clear that he will spend the next three-and-a-half (or seven-and-a-half) years dealing with a virulent Left, a squeamish Right, and a daily media pummeling of him and his family.

I don’t know Mr. Trump, but it’s clear he’s not one to shrink from a fight. However, what if there were a way to withdraw, but still declare victory and get the last laugh by really sticking it to his critics?

The plan — or as I like to call it, The Plan — would go like this: The President gives a prime-time speech from the Oval Office which he concludes by announcing that governing effectively in an atmosphere of “resistance,” “never Trump,” and “he’s not my President” has become virtually impossible, and that his critics have placed partisan politics well ahead of the national good. Therefore, he is resigning in order to allow Vice President Pence to take his place and govern without the poisonous personal animus that has corroded the atmosphere in Washington.

He would then be free to spend the rest of his life as an ex-President basking in the glow of someone who succeeded against all odds, put his country first and, not incidentally, stuck it to the Left by elevating his very conservative VP to the top post.

His opponents would no doubt scream and holler. They would have to look on hopelessly as the new Commander in Chief named a like-minded politician to serve with him in a truly Conservative government that would presumably rally Republicans.

The “resisters” would not be mollified, of course. They would continue to pursue Trump and attempt to similarly tar Pence, but they would likely look even more petty and peevish in the process.

I’m not suggesting that President Trump adopt The Plan, nor do I think he would, but there’s nothing wrong with having a plan in your back pocket, is there?

Will Trump buy a vowel?

aw, poor champion of the birther movement, criticised by the "virulent" left. so many tears. where's the karma in this world?

this is the second time in about a week that your life coach has essentially parroted arguments which I and other "virulent" lefties have repeated here. i assume the millennials have a portmanteau for this. "horriflattered," perhaps?

stick around Muzzruh... we'll make a Bernie Bro of you yet.

Regardless of anything else in that screed, what evidence is there to think that a) Trump puts country first rather than himself b) is a big believer in plans, either front or back pocket?

nah you're pretty straightforward:

Um, none. That's part of the joke. (sigh)

You guys will be fun to live with when it gets worse than this. We're still working our way through the salad course.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ THE SINGULARITY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How would an actual singularity differ from what we've been watching? To start with, Trump is the freaking POTUS. The singularity happens very slowly, and then all at once. Kind of like what happened to Bret Weinstein at Evergreen.

Offer you what you've been looking for (no Trump) and everybody gets really touchy. I guess there's no room for any diversity on this forum.
