Because the Russians believed the best way to damage America was to elect Trump. And they were right.

Also because Trump uses Russia to launder his money. It’s a not so much an ideological partnership as it is a dictatorial corruption partnership.

Well, I guess when one runs out of truthful arguments to make against Trump, the next option is to pull them out of ones :cuss:

In my opinion I do not want Trump here at all," Ameer Hussain, a 15-year-old freshman at the school told The Daily Beast.


Maybe he would want Obummer there? Obviously the shooting was Trump's fault and Obummer never had any. Oh wait, hold on

2015, 1 October - Umpqua Community College shooting - (10 dead)
2014, October 24- Marysville Pilchuck High School shooting - (5 dead)
2013, June 7 - 2013 Santa Monica shooting - (6 dead)
2012, December 14- Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings - (28 deaths)
2012, 2 April - Oikos University shooting - (7 deaths)

Trump has a long way to go before he can compete with Obummer for number of kids killed.

Time is up for mr bannon


Washington (CNN) - The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Friday it's likely that Steve Bannon will be held in contempt of Congress after refusing to answer questions before the panel, which is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Magazine obtains ex-playmate's account of Trump affair

President Donald Trump had a nine-month extramarital affair with the 1998 Playboy Playmate of the year beginning in 2006, showing the woman his wife's bedroom in Trump Tower and bringing her to his private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to the woman's eight-page, handwritten account of the relationship obtained by The New Yorker magazine.

The woman, Karen McDougal, confirmed in the story published online Friday that she wrote the account but said she was constrained in what else she could say publicly about Trump because she'd signed a confidentiality agreement.

The affair ended in part after McDougal started feeling guilty about it and after Trump made an offensive comment about her mother's age as well as a vulgar remark about the anatomy of black men, the magazine reported.

http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/mag ... &ocid=iehp

Fake news?

The story said McDougal was paid $150,000 during the 2016 presidential campaign for the rights to her story of an affair with any "then-married man" by the supermarket tabloid National Enquirer, which never ran it.

Just before Election Day, The Wall Street Journal reported that the tabloid, whose publisher, David Pecker, is a longtime friend of Trump's, had paid for McDougal's story but wasn't printing it, a tabloid industry practice known as "catch and kill."

Ah, suppression of news by your friends. Cool.

I wonder if Melania is impressed?

First lady Melania Trump eschewed the traditional South Lawn couple's walk to Marine One on Friday amid another adultery allegation scandal, opting instead to drive separately ahead of President Donald Trump.

Sigh. Poor Melania. I think just about everyone is feeling sorry for Melania these days. What did she do to deserve this
– other than marrying the imbecile for his money. Such a class act he is not.

Chaos, again, engulfs Trump's Washington

Another bitter week that took Washington to the brink of exhaustion landed Donald Trump at the epicenter of more tragedy, scandal and rancor than a conventional president would hope to face in a full year.

The White House was sent reeling by the Florida school massacre, new indictments in the Russia probe, its own mishandling of domestic abuse claims against a top staffer, allegations that Trump covered up extra-marital affairs and another huge immigration fail.

All of this unfolded when the administration hoped to focus on infrastructure -- when the big headlines would involve the President pushing his next big agenda item.

Instead, Trump offered a fresh example of his propensity to draw the capital, and the rest of the nation into his cone of chaos. Each of the week's staggering and occasionally horrific events will have profound political reverberations. They are already further poisoning trust in Washington and stretching bonds of national unity in a way that will make the already all-but-impossible task of governing more difficult.

More, much more

That's why the cost of the Wall keeps going up, the Wall is to launder the illegal Russian money.

Even the Republicans are embarrassed …

Top U.S. officials tell the world to ignore Trump’s tweets

U.S. lawmakers — both Democrats and Republicans — and top national security officials in the Trump administration offered the same advice publicly and privately, often clashing with Trump’s Twitter stream: the United States remains staunchly committed to its European allies, is furious with the Kremlin about election interference and isn’t contemplating a preemptive strike on North Korea to halt its nuclear program.

But Trump himself engaged in a running counterpoint to the message, taking aim on social media at his own national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, because he “forgot” on Saturday to tell the Munich Security Conference that the results of the 2016 weren’t affected by Russian interference, a conclusion that is not supported by U.S. intelligence agencies. They say they will likely never be able to determine whether the Russian involvement swung the election toward Trump.

The determination to ignore Trump’s foreign-policy tweets has been bipartisan.

Yet most of the people that fell victim to that are the same people who still deny its happening, or if they aren't denying they're saying its some kind of liberal conspiracy.
So much of the violent push-back on everything progressive and reformist comes down to: I can see the future, and in this future I am not the centre of the universe and master of all that I survey, therefore this future must be resisted at all costs.

Trump's obsession with CNN is understandable, he dislikes unflattering news about himself. Your obsession however is less understandable
because I'm not sure what you see in Trump that would make you take up his mantra to discredit free press.

Either way, whatever your motives are, I'm sure Putin would be proud. :up:

Pointdexter, I hope you read it!

And you're right, Putin is proud of what is happening today in America.

Several dozen high school students from in and around Washington, D.C., staged a ‘lie-in’ demonstration in front of the White House Monday to protest gun violence in schools days after a gunman killed 17 people at a Florida high school.
