President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

All true. But, he's a political gadfly, and when Trump decided to actually run, it wasn't Stone who he hired.

Stone worked outside the campaign structure, and the fact that he sent Gucifer2.0 messages over twitter not only isn't surprising, it's unclear it would be criminal, or evidence of collusion.

 

First of all, Rick Perry is a despicable human being.

But I've got to say, after reading the background of that election process, it did sound a little shady. A bit like Al Capone being taken down for tax evasion because they couldn't get him for the real reasons.

 

This is an excellent article.

Trump Is Defining the Presidency Down

 

That entire interview reads like the conversation I have with my 3-year-old when he's caught doing something wrong but thinks he's slick enough to outsmart me and avoid being punished.

 

It still doesn't warrant Cabinet-level federal government intervention. Especially from the party that ostensibly hates that sort of thing.

And, I'm sure the fact that the disqualified student is the son of a prominent Trump donor and campaign surrogate has nothing to do with it.

And, the gay thing is totally a coincidence.

 

Former Russian Lawmaker Is Shot To Death Outside Hotel In Kiev

The killing has the "handwriting" of the Russian special services, Poroshenko said in a statement Thursday. According to a translation by Reuters, he said Voronenkov's murder was "an act of state terrorism on the part of Russia, which he was forced to leave for political reasons."

Responding to those accusations, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "We believe that all speculations about a Russian connection are absurd," according to state-run Tass media. He also said Ukraine "had proved unable to take care of Voronenkov's security," the outlet reports.

Poroshenko said Voronenkov was a key witness in Ukraine's inquiry into former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian military involvement in the country.

When he fled Russia, Voronenkov did so along with his wife, Maria Maksakova, who is also a former lawmaker. She was seen at the site of her husband's killing today, being restrained by police and emergency workers.

 

If Trump makes it through this term, I'm gonna be sitting on a lot of worthless "Impeach Pence" T-shirts.

 

When personal responsibility meets addiction, addiction usually wins.

 

Welp ...

 

I hope no tragedy befalls any of you good people, but if it does I will try to ensure that your obituary contains the clause, "a vocal critic of United States President Donald Trump", no lower than the second paragraph. So everyone will know that he orchestrated your demise.

 

They should read from this thread for the filibuster.

 

Is this the same trial that the lawyer who "fell" out of a fourth floor window was supposed to testify at yesterday?

*edit* Nope, that was a different witness in a different trial. It's hard to keep track of all the reporters, opponents of Putin, complainants in trials, witnesses, and people who have been revealed as taking part in wrongdoing who somehow suddenly turn up dead.
