President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I thought that was Madonna.

 

Graham believes Trump's description of that call with Mattis?

 

The meeting was on the 25th floor. Trump's floor is the 26th. They're connected by a stairwell and no doubt bugged and hooked up with surveillance.

Was Trump in NYC that day? If so I'd put money on him being at that meeting but out of sight.

Or it's just one more piece of misdirection. Or just stupidity on the lawyer's part.



But at that point, the Secret Service was not protecting any of the Trump campaign representatives who actually attended. Only in September 2016 — well after the Russian visit — did agents begin to provide protection for Ivanka Trump. Prior to that, Trump’s adult children were only provided with protection when “physically near the candidate,” according to a contemporaneous ABC News report. Separate protection for Eric Trump and Donald Jr. came sometime after that.

Although the Secret Service is authorized to “make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence,” the Secret Service’s protection detail is to provide for the physical safety of protectees. It is unclear why Sekulow would think their job would include stopping them from “nefarious” activities or ensuring the candidate or his team does not violate campaign finance laws.

Unless the Secret Service thought that the senior Trump or Vladimir Putin himself was going to be at or very near the meeting, Sekulow’s claim that the Secret Service “allowed” the Russians in is what raises the real questions.

 

Probably late to the party on this, but at least he's not grabbing her elsewhere ... or is that why she's got the glove tucked into her skirt?

EDIT: Great post, dixiehack.

 

The TV guy peeking at the reporter's notepad is a nice touch.

 

Shower thought: the secret service's other mission is financial crimes.

Trump and his family were oddly insistent on using private security instead of SS protection for awhile.

 

Mueller will find the money laundering anyhow.

 

Sure it is. Can't be all that lying.

“But so much of the criticism of me is so gender-based,” Conway added, while encouraging increased civility in policy debates. “I pray for my country and I pray for my critics.”

The criticism against her from other women, she claimed, “totally undercuts modern feminism saying that they are for women.”

 

Perhaps the "feminists" are outraged by her reinforcing the stereotype of the vapid Botox bimbo, dressing and generally comporting herself as a strip-club strumpet despite being in her fifties, as well as promoting the agenda of a violently misogynistic pig.

And, of course, all the lying.

 

Some of the criticism of her is absolutely gender based

 

Oh yeah because Spicer and Gorka are handled with such deference and dignity.

 

Trump is not only talking about the tournament here, but America:
