President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

But before help comes ... NO COLLUSION!

 

Did he use his Batman voice?

 

LOL. My thought, too!

 

It is indefensible.

 

I know of just the sycophant.

 

@YankeeFan ?

Pulitzer-winning reporter David Cay Johnston:
'The evidence suggests Trump is a traitor'

You have studied and written about Donald Trump for three decades. What does the public need to know about his background, to understand his behavior as president?

Here are the key things people should know about Donald Trump. He comes from a family of criminals: His grandfather made his fortune running whorehouses in Seattle and in the Yukon Territory. His father, Fred, had a business partner named Willie Tomasello, who was an associate of the Gambino crime family. Trump's father was also investigated by the U.S. Senate for ripping off the government for what would be the equivalent of $36 million in today's money. Donald got his showmanship from his dad, as well as his comfort with organized criminals.

I think it is very important for religious Americans to know that Donald Trump says that his personal philosophy of life is revenge. He has called anyone who turns the other cheek -- which is a fundamental teaching of Christ in the Sermon on the Mount -- a fool, an idiot or a schmuck. Trump is a man who says things that are absolutely contrary to the teachings of the New Testament. He also denigrates Christians. Yet you see all of these ministers endorsing him.

I've followed Donald for 30 years. I don't see any evidence that he has changed, and he certainly hasn't repented, which is a fundamental Christian obligation.

He is a racist through and through. He has been found in formal judicial proceedings to discriminate against nonwhites in rentals and employment.

It's important to understand that Trump is aggressively anti-Christian, despite claiming to be one. He is bluntly a racist. Most importantly, he is literally ignorant about almost everything. ...

As Malcolm Nance and others have warned, Russia's interference in the 2016 election and likely infiltration of Trump's inner circle could be one of the worst intelligence disasters in American history, a failure of Benedict Arnold or Rosenberg proportions.

Let me be very clear and quotable about this. At an absolute minimum, Donald Trump has divided loyalties, and the evidence we already have suggests that Donald Trump is a traitor. In fact, I would say that the evidence we already have, the public materials such as emails for example, strongly indicate that Donald Trump is a traitor. However, I don't even think he understands what he's done.

Man, save that for prime time!

 

Slacker, I think that really nails what I'm seeing, from multiple sources. No one wants to say it out loud, but it gets more and more obvious that Trump goes well beyond shady and into outright mob style criminal behavior. When Rudy Giuliani says that he thinks that David Cohen is going to roll over on Trump, that's mob speak for Cohen, who was inside the circle, testifying about the criminal acts that he has participated in and witnessed Trump doing in order to keep himself out of jail.

People can't roll over on you if you have not done things which are illegal.

I can't bring myself to hit the like button on that, but I agree with it.

 

Yeah, so anyway where did @YankeeFan go?

 

Trump's twisted vision of leadership, based on his long history of bullying contractors and then propping himself up as the exalted ruler of prime-time reality shows – hark back to those days for a moment – means he thinks that because he's the boss, the truth is whatever he says it is, because goddammit he's the boss, and firing people makes problems go away.

On a side note, Trump thinks that because he's the boss, then goddammit he's always the smartest guy in the room.

What a sleazy fucking clown. ... What interesting times we live in. ... And what madness we allow from our public servants.

 

Hahahahaha.
