President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A subtle suggestion to his base. If you think somebody might be considering protesting and advocating for restrictions on weapons of mass murder, feel free to intimidate them.

 

That guy is draping himself in the First Amendment and calling himself a martyr, but when you write stuff like he did in a public forum and you identify yourself with a particular employer, you should expect that employers to be dismayed by the association. Dismayed enough to tell you to go away.

 

This could be fun.

 

They're bringing thugs. They're racists. And some, I assume, are good people.

 

Trump denying he knew anything about the payment to Stormy being makes it look like they are setting up Michael Cohen as the fall guy. If Trump "knew nothing about it", who else does that leave to blame? The thing is that Cohen knows *a lot* of Trump's dirt. I'm not sure that even if he agrees to be paid for his silence that he'll stay silent if it looks like he'll serve prison time. I think he'll roll over first.

Avenatti here with Joy Reid discussing that and more. Trump really screwed up talking about it Thursday on AF1.

 

Congrats, Trumpists. This is your tribe. Find me anybody in a public position-- remember that your guy Ted Nugent is an NRA board member-- on the left who advocates murder of all political opponents.
NRA’s Ted Nugent compares Democrats to "rabid coyotes": "Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, you shoot one"

 

You would think, after what happened to Gabby Giffords and Steve Scalise, that the GOP would just tell Nugent and his ilk to go to hell.

 

Well, I won't vote for Ted Kennedy anymore.

 

When your tribe is rotten to the core, bash members of the opposing party who are dead or inactive. Good work. Distraction is the child of disgrace.

 

Ever since Trump was elected I've been hearing about how Kushner has this white elephant of an office building at 666 5th Ave, and speculation that he won't be able to make the payments on it. Now I'm reading that Vornado, who owns 49% of it, is selling their half to the Kushner Co. So where is the $900m or so that will cost coming from all of a sudden?

And they have to go all the way back to 1969 to do it.

They really are desperate.
