President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That's funny. It's almost as if Donald Trump would be the kind of man who would be told no by, let's say a woman, and ignore her wishes to do what he wanted anyways. He sounds like that kind of man.

If only we could've known about these tendencies before he was elected.

 

No, but I didn't read it looking for one. Rather, I found fascinating the interplay between two completely different animals -- the career investigator/bureaucrat and the however-the-fuck-you-want-to-categorize-Trump.

 

Only if you ignore the part where Fucko repeatedly hints he would really really love if the FBI Director would drop the whole investigation.

Of course he offers no particular reason WHY the director should drop the investigation; simply offers that he'd really really like it if he did.

 

You're dumb. It's boring because Comey says that he took it as him asking him to drop the investigation into whether Comey had misled Pence, not to drop the entire investigation.

 

Just for the link freaks in our midst:

He said he would do that and added, “Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know.” I did not reply or ask him what he meant by “that thing.”

Trump is a weasel.

 

The "presumption of innocence" is the presumption of innocence beyond a reasonable doubt, not the presumption of innocence beyond any conceivable doubt and the presumption of innocence beyond abundant highly credible evidence.

You mean Flynn, not Comey, but I get your drift. This is not about a smoking gun. We saw the fucking smoking gun on national television. Trump told Lester Holt he fired Comey over the Russia investigation. He confessed. Comey's giving background information, highly amusing background information. Asking the FBI director to drop an investigation might or might not be obstruction, though surely ill-advised, depending on circumstances. Firing him for continuing the investigation sure as hell looks like obstruction as an open and shut case.

 

Swindler. That's the word you're looking for.

The car salesman you haggle for hours to buy a car for $800 a month for 36 months. Then you get to sign the papers and it says $899 a month for 66 months. Plus he needs a "processing fee" of $500 cash to "close the deal."

 

It's obvious Trump wanted Comey to be a lapdog, not at watchdog. And did Trump bring up hookers without being asked/prompted? That kind of misstep are the things that make prosecutors very, very rich.
