He has to stop or be stopped.

He needs some of that plaque in his arteries to break loose.

This from a guy you literally threatened war 3 times now?

 

[kdawg]

The press causes war? Wow.

 

[blastercombo]

Honest question, what has Trump sided with that has caused people to join together. I literally can’t think of one. Matter of fact at one point he has people siding with NK

 

[MalcolmNewton]

The press causes war? Wow.

Well, if you're talking about actual military conflict, they don't cause it but they help beat the drums for it.

 

[blastercombo]

The fact that twitter doesn’t just ban him makes me lose all respect for those guys. Shut him up. Literally breaks their posted rules with every tweet

 

[SC kid]

Welp.
Looks like everything's gonna be aite now

Actor and action star Steven Seagal, who made his “bromance” with Russian President Vladimir Putin official by becoming a Russian citizen and obtaining a passport in late 2016, now has a position within the country’s bureaucracy. According to CNN, Russia’s foreign ministry announced on its official Facebook page that Seagal “has been appointed special representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of Russia on Russian-American Humanitarian Ties.”

Explaining Seagal’s appointment further, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the actor’s “task is to promote the further development of Russian-American relations in the humanitarian sphere, including interaction in the field of culture, art, public and youth exchanges and more.” The position will be an unpaid one and, per the ministry’s statement, akin to the United Nations’ goodwill ambassador positions.

I read that and made sure it wasn’t from 1993. This **** is ridiculous

Trump once again fractures his previous defenses about the meeting, particularly the the initial misleading statement he dictated on AF1 when the meeting became public. Now he's straight up admitting the meeting was about getting dirt on Hillary that was described to Trump Jr as "part of the Russian government's support for mr. Trump."
The Kremlin-connected lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was described as "the crown prosecutor of Russia" in Trump Jr's emails.
Donald Jr responded to those emails explicitly stating that the dirt on Hillary is part of the Russian government's support for Trump by saying that he loves it if it is what he thinks it is, especially this late in the summer.

Trump just made 2 problematic admissions about the Trump Tower meeting
President Trump has yet again tweeted about his personal legal issues in a way he perhaps shouldn't have.

That Washington Post reported Saturday that Trump had expressed concerns in the past week about his son Donald Trump Jr.'s legal exposure from the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. In a tweet about that report on Sunday, Trump said, “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!”

Two issues.

The first is that Trump appears to have broken some new ground here when it comes to admitting the true purpose of the Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlin-aligned lawyer — and even further contradicted the initial statement he helped draft about it. At the time, Donald Trump Jr. issued a statement explaining that he and the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children.” We have since learned that the elder Trump actually dictated that statement.

Quickly, though, that explanation fell apart, and we learned that Trump Jr. had actually been promised harmful information about Democrats, including Hillary Clinton. President Trump himself seemed to shrug it off, saying in July 2017 that, “from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting.” He added: “It’s called opposition research or even research into your opponent.” But at the same time, he still suggested that the meeting was, in large part, about adoption.

Sunday's tweet appears to acknowledge that the meeting was actually predicated on opposition research: “This was a meeting to get information on an opponent.” The initial denial — which, again, Trump himself dictated — is pretty irreconcilable with that. (You could perhaps argue that adoption was mostly discussed, even if the meeting was set up to discuss oppo research, but that's a stretch.) And if you're Robert Mueller and you're looking at whether Trump obstructed justice, you've now got even more evidence of a clear attempt to mislead the public and obscure the truth. Trump's July 2017 comments came before we knew he was involved in drafting that initial misleading response; now Trump is in the public record as having authored it.

The second issue here are the final words of the tweet. “I did not know about it!” This is something Trump has said regularly about the Trump Tower meeting, and something he has re-upped now that Michael Cohen is reportedly telling people that Trump did know about it.

But here's the thing: This is a tweet about how the Trump Tower meeting was totally fine — nothing illegal to see here. If you've got no real concern about legal exposure from the meeting, why distance yourself from it? Trump seems to be arguing against his own point by assuring us that he had nothing to do with this meeting, which — oh, by the way — was totally on the up-and-up. Trump might as well have just confirmed The Post's report that he is worried about what the meeting portends for his son.

Is this tweet, in and of itself, damning? Probably not. But obstruction-of-justice cases are about proving that someone had “corrupt intent” when they took the actions they did. And for the second time in less than a week, Trump tweeted something that suggested his intent wasn't terribly wholesome. He also suggested that he isn't as convinced as he'd like us to believe that there's nothing to see here.

As "fake" as this media is supposed to be, no one in the media ever comes out and just calls this dude what he is. A white nationalist/supremacist president. They always dance around doing it, playing with words when it's as clear as day. "He said something racist", "he said nazi's are fine people", "he said (random black person) has a low IQ". The only person in the corporate media that came close to doing it was Rachel Maddow, showing his dad being a klan member, and even she refused to draw the obvious conclusion.

They won’t do it. They know the implications of it that’s a detriment to even themselves.

Why would it matter whether he knew about it or not if it was totally legal?

Same guy who wrote this movie with this speech full of libbie INNUENDO AND CONJECTURE. Typical Hollywood garbage!

I'd like to start out by saying, thank you to all the brothers and sisters that have come here today representing this cause. I have been asked by Mr. Itok and the tribal council to speak to you and the members of the Press about the injustice that has been brought against us by some Government Officials and Big Business. How many of you out there have heard of alternative engines? Engines that can run on anything from alcohol to garbage or water. Or carburetors that can get hundreds of miles to the gallon. Or electric or magnetic engines, that can practically run forever. You don't know about them because if they were to come into use, they'd put the oil companies out of business. The concept of the internal combustion engine has been obsolete for over fifty years. But because of the Oil Cartels and corrupt government regulation, we and the rest of the world have been forced to use gasoline for over a hundred years. Big Business is primarily responsible for destroying the water we drink, the air we breathe and the food we eat. They have no care for the world they destroy, only for the money they make in the process. How many oil spills can we endure? Millions and millions of gallons of oil are now destroying the ocean and the many forms of life it supports. Among these is plankton, which supplies sixty to ninety percent of the Earth's oxygen. This supports the entire marine ecosystem which forms the basis of our planet's food supply. But the plankton is dying. I thought, well, let's go to remote state or country, anywhere on Earth. But in doing a little research I realized that these people broker toxic waste all over the world. They basically control the legislation, and, in fact, they control the Law. The Law says, "no company can be fined over $25,000 a day." For companies making $10,000,000 dollars a day by dumping lethal toxic wastes into the ocean, it's only good business to continue doing this. They influence the media so that they can control our minds. They have made it a crime to speak out for ourselves, and if we do so we're called "conspiracy nuts" and we're laughed at. We're angry because we're all being chemically and genetically damaged, and we don't even realize it. Unfortunately, this will effect our children. We go to work each day and right under our noses we see our car and the car in front of us spewing noxious poisonous gasses that are all accumulative poisons. These poisons kill us slowly, even when we see no effect. How many of us would have believed if we were told twenty years ago that on a certain day we wouldn't be able to see fifty feet in front of us. That we wouldn't be able to take a deep breath because the air would be a mass of poisonous gas. That we wouldn't be able to drink out of our faucets, that we'd have to buy water out of bottles. Our most common and God-given rights have been taken away from us. Unfortunately, the reality of our lives is so grim that nobody wants to hear it. Now, I've been asked what we can do? I think we need a responsible body of people that can actually represent us rather than Big Business. This body of people must not allow the introduction of anything into our environment that is not absolutely biodegradable or able to be chemically neutralized upon production. And finally, as long as there is profit to be made from polluting the Earth, companies and individuals will continue to do what they want. We have to force these companies to operate safely and responsibly, and with all our best interests in mind. So that when they don't, we can take back our resources and our hearts and our minds and do what's right.

My guy in D.C. tells me that we are not dealing with a student here, we're dealing with the Professor. Any time the military has an operation that can't fail, they call this guy in to train the troops, OK? He's the kind of guy that would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire! You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. This guy's a professional, you got me? If he reaches this rig, we're all gonna be nothing but a big goddamned hole right in the middle of Alaska.

Kushner looks like the guy in a porno who is in his suit watching while his father-in-law bangs his wife, and then that same father-in-law later tells the whole world he wishes his daughter had married the quarterback instead.

Feinstein didn't get help from the chinese gov to win her seat nor did the chinese gov hack her opponents campaign.
None of Feinstein's staffers had any security clearance, and on top of that he was a driver. There is nothing to talk about
