about Podesta, Get em all, I don't care.

....Also, there is NO COLLUSION!
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 5h5 hours ago

There is clear collusion. I wonder if he's going to stop posting about this? If he does stop, I think that would be a clear indication he's finally listening to his lawyers and this is serious stuff. If he continues, it just shows what we already know. Trump does stupid stuff.

I wonder if Manafort is going to flip?
Pros: Might get leniency
Cons:Don't drink the tea!

False equivalence - A US president of presidential candidate vilifying and inciting violence against the free press or threatening to shut it down goes against one of the pillars of the government he leads (or wants to lead.) This is a leader telling his "followers" what to do.

The other, while in very poor taste, was campaign hyperbole. Though there are some who hide behind confederate flags (and other white supremecist insignia) who think mowing down people who disagree with them isn't such a bad idea. Like the sickos glorifying and justifying the murder of Heather Heyer.

PS If the Podestas were involved and broke laws, they need to go too. Take out all the trash, I don't care if it's wearing a blue hat or a red hat.

Another loss for Trump today:

Federal court bars Trump from changing military policy on transgender people

Upon hearing the news, live from the golf course

For when they pretend/lie about Papa Dop not being part of the campaign, that's him at the table

And your psych degree is from ... where?

Are you serious??

Liberal Media are so happy today with their Trump hate fest, they are having political orgasms all over.

It used to be a free press a long time ago. Not anymore. It is totally biased and mostly one sided. It's supposed to give us the news, the facts, but it's not. It's inventing news and brainwashing people with false BS.

I sincerely hope Trump slowly destroys the False, Biased, Fake Media cockroaches

 

[JB Lions]

Even Gilsan seems a little down, some of the least enthusiastic posts I've seen from him. Even he knows it's serious.

Yes, media just made up those indictments, arrests, those emails etc. Just all made up.

Donald, nothing for the last 10 hours - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

If he makes it thru the 4 years, I don't think he runs for reelection. I think he knows he'll lose, bigly. So better find a way out before that happens.

Trump May Not Seek Re-election: Rand Paul, Chris Christie

Fox News reporting on important stuff today

This Carter Page guy has to be one of the dumbest, just keeps incriminating himself and others. Was wondering why he was trending on Twitter:

People are amazed he's giving an interview and what he's saying - https://twitter.com/search?q="Carter Page"&src=tren

Some comments I'm reading:
"And he has "informal" advisors…not lawyers? Spoke to Congress for 5 hours without a lawyer?"

I am utterly dumbstruck that Carter Page is on national television doing a live, one-on-one interview with @chrislhayes.

Oh boy... Carter Page is on @allinwithchris and just offhandedly admitted he might have talked with Papadopoulos about Russia.

"“Papadopoulos has been cooperating since July. I’ve been cooperating since March,” Carter Page tells @ChrisHayesTV"

FYI, all charges today happened while Barack Obama was President and Mueller was head of the FBI.

16 democrat prosecutors.

 

[mr-x]

Prediction: Most of the charges against Manafort and his friend will be dropped. Tax evasion will be beat or plead to a fine.

I often reflect back to Walter Cronkite. Yea, I am old. Watched him as a kid. But as age and becoming wiser about everything- it's all B.S. media and corporations have controlled us for years. This division is horrible, but speaking to friends even older than I, say the violence was as bad or worse in the 60's.

.........while Trump was running for President?

Pretty impressive team. Looks like it's paying off. Trump could learn something about good hiring practices, since a lot of his people have been fired, resigned, indicted, snitched etc.

[offthehandle]

I like the drain the swamp concept. But it's so deeply entrenched- from lawyer-politician-lobbyist.
I say fire every single gov't employee in phases, and make them re-apply for their jobs. Term limits of 2 terms like president. No lobbying after running for office.

On the other hand, verbal violence has shot up to frightening levels...

 

[GILSAN]

I wonder why?

Everything is confrontational. Tip O'Niel and Reagan sat down.

Now we have tools like Maxine Waters yapping and touring the entire US stirring bs and hate for the president.

Trump was Duly elected, warts and all. Respect has really gone down to tubes. I am embarrassed to say I am an American when I travel. People immediately ask me about Trump- the news media has tainted everything into soundbites like he is a monster.

A losing candidate on an apology tour. Ridiculous. The Clintons were born with teflon skin. Nothing will ever stick. lol.

DNC is hiring IT and network security staff. Unless your cis white male.

Expect another breach and leak in 2019.

If you could read, you wouldn't have to re-ask stupid questions

The news media doesn't make him say the stuff he does. Just look at the videos posted in this thread, straight from the horses mouth. He brings most of this on himself. If he used Twitter just to talk about issues, there would be less of it.

Went over your head.

Gilsan coming thru with the usual whining about media and the sexist stuff.

The Clintons were born with teflon skin. Nothing will ever stick. lol.

Bill was impeached.

I can't disagree with his mouth being a huge problem. He has said publicly things that are not politically correct. I hate all the PC garbage over the years. So much is lopsided. He has been vulgar, and whatever.
But to me it's "All about the money"- IE Jobs, growing an economy, attempted recovery in manufacturing (though I am skeptical). I like people who kick over the beehive, I admire him for running and taking a shot at the slimey messy gross political arena.
