LOL... funny you should ask. I just ended a post a second ago in the other thread like this....

Stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do now....


Yeah.... It was a stupid thing to do. At least right now.

White House insiders were happy to confirm that the Comey firing was all about Russia. This directly contradicts the White House narrative that it was about the fact that everyone had lost confidence in Comey because of the way he mistreated poor Hillary Clinton. Who are these people who work for Trump but are happy to undermine him to the press on a regular basis? Trump needs a loyalist to head the FBI and his family is the only place he can find them, now that Trump told the whole world he did commit a crime that the FBI has not yet gathered enough evidence to convict Trump for. Only a certifiable Trump loyalist/FBI Director could guarantee that the FBI can't collect more evidence against Trump.



Maybe putting a family member in would be the smart thing for Trump to do, especially if he is guilty. It definitely wouldn't look good for him if he did it though, and I think it would even raise a lot of eyebrows of people who voted for Trump.

I thought you were asking why I wasn't asking for that to happen.

I don't know about Gowdy, but a couple of you regular left wingers have applauded efforts made by and things that Jason Chaffetz has said about the whole Trump/Russia thing in the last few weeks. I like the guy, personally. I like both of them. I think they're about as close to "honest" as a politician can get.

I also think it would be a good thing for the American people if one of them were to take the seat. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think either of them would back down in the Trump investigations if there really are ties with Russia, which would please Democrats, and they aren't anything close to progressive either, so it wouldn't be a Republican witch hunt either, which would please Republicans.

Donald Trump Is In the Early Stages of Dementia

Jonah Goldberg points out the following Trump timeline:
www.nationalreview.com/corner/447538/trump-claims-he-coined-prime-pump

2016: “Well, sometimes you have to prime the pump,” he says. “So sometimes in order to get jobs going and the country going, because, look, we’re at 1% growth.”

Late 2016: "We are also going to lower our business tax rate from 35 percent all the way down to 15 percent. That’s going to be big. Going to prime the pump. Got to prime the pump."

Today: "We have to prime the pump....Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven’t heard it. I mean, I just...I came up with it a couple of days ago."

This is not good. "What is the right way to interpret Trump’s statement that he coined the phrase 'prime the pump' a few days ago?" asks Goldberg. Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer: Trump is 70 years old and his cognitive skills are deserting him. The evidence for this is becoming scarily abundant.

Trump has a history of emphatically denying that he has any monetary connection to Russia. In January, he tweeted: “NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!” His lawyers’ new admission of the “few exceptions” indicates this blanket denial was false. The letter written by Sherri Dillon and Willie Nelson, Trump’s tax lawyers at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, is dated March 8.

According to Dillon and Nelson, those exceptions include Russian fertilizer kingpin Dmitry Rybolovlev purchasing a South Florida mansion for $95 million in 2008; the 2013 Miss Universe contest held in Moscow, which earned $12.2 million in income; and “ordinary course sales of goods or services to Russians.” No documentary evidence was provided to prove that these are Trump’s only sources of income from Russians.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” Donald Trump Jr. said at a Russian real estate conference in 2008. “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” And a sports writer recently reported that Eric Trump, another son of the president, said in 2014 that the family had access to $100 million from Russian banks. “Well, we don’t rely on American banks,” Eric Trump said at the time, according to the writer. “We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” (Eric Trump denied the quote. Like father, like son.)

The incidental “sales of goods or services to Russians” was no small sum. Russians spent nearly $100 million to purchase condos in seven buildings licensing the Trump name in South Florida, according to Reuters. Trump received a commission on all sales in the buildings, likely somewhere between 1 percent and 4 percent. This would mean Trump received between $1 million and $4 million in income from Russian purchasers.

Trump thrives on drama, particularly drama he creates.

sident-dramatic-personality


“They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name,” Trump thundered in a speech in February. “Let their name be put out there.” A few weeks later, Trump met in the Oval Office with news anchors who attributed his comments to a “senior administration official.” Indeed, the president frequently calls reporters — Americans he describes as “enemies of the people” — on “background,” doling out dollops of “anonymous” information.

Then there is his zigzagging on policies and his failure to provide a consistent philosophical or policy agenda beyond “Make the boss look good.”

We start the new week off with more Liberal BS and a very high chance of bitching and moaning. Nothing new here, as that's been the weekly forecast ever since the middle of November.

Stay tuned for more baseless accusations by "anonymous sources" that we completely made up, right after a word from our sponsors.

On Twitter it is common to see people dismiss any inconvenient leak as “fake news” — the president’s favorite term for any inconvenient or unflattering coverage. What seems lost on his knee-jerk defenders is that these leaks are coming from the president’s own handpicked team.

People like you are why he has any defenders Second. It's hard to take anything that might actually be serious seriously because you and the crazy left-wingnuts have bitched and whined and moaned about every meaningless little thing, kicking and screaming and literally burning shit down since November 9th.

It's called pushback. It's called "Chicken Little Overload". You're a rich elitist fool with far too much free time on her hands.
