Trump himself knew of Papadopoulos's claims that he had a pipeline to Moscow: During a March 2016 meeting of the campaign's national security advisers in Washington that Trump attended, Papadopoulos said he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between the then-candidate and Putin.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

The continued reference to the Steele dossier as fake or debunked by the press, is one of the biggest journalistic blunders that is still on-going, the press continues to allow the WH and Repubs to frame this issue falsely.

Well it seems like John Kelly's soul came cheap. So much for being the only adult in the room. This whole administration is trash.

Well, there's a real easy solution to that - resign.

a notable aspect

the general public was unaware the first hack occurred in March
and the proceeds from that hack were dangled to Trumpsters well
before most people knew.

Isn't it pretty obvious by now that most foreign leaders see DT as the untrustworthy liar and bully that he is. They'd probably see negotiating with him as akin to dealing with a petulant 2 year old.

Wishful thinking buddy. I notice you've been uncharacteristically quiet about real corruption connected to the Trump campaign.

The little news yesterday was actually the big news! Wonder how many people in the campaign & WH are expecting knocks on there doors and are rushing to lawyer up? Papadopoulos was the guppy used as bait and from the moment he pleaded guilty he was working with the FBI to ensnare others. By Carter Pages comments it looks like he was one but there could be numerous others both at low level,middle level and higher in the food chain. All this is aimed at hooking the big orange whale.

Kelly has exposed his real character as just another sycophant for the Trump but the most disturbing part was criticism of the Civil War and that they could basically kept slavery. While it wasn't said directly it certainly was implied this should make people of color feel safe in there beds with Trumps babysitter.

I couldn't resist but I'm packed and ready to go tomorrow evening.

CNN:

Trump was contacted by americans on behalf russian agents for opposition dirt but never took meeting where dirt was exchanged. Collusion! yet no money, no quid pro quo. no russian reset by trump. nothing between trump and russia at all.

HRC and DNC bought and paid for actual dirt on trump from actual russians and received it although 80% of it was made up. released it to the public and used it against trump in the campaign and then also the Obama era DOJ also used it to obtain FISA warrant to wire tap. That's just opposition research. oh, they used a law firm to hide it and broke multiple campaign finance laws along the way. big deal, who cares.

all i have to say is jeff sessions is spineless for recusing himself. and y'all just might get what you are asking for, a Mike Pence presidency.

what's worse is trumps actual ability to negotiate as CIC and president is completely compromised. foreign leaders laugh at lame duck presidents. I guess, trump could take Pence with him. but that breaks protocol where neither are in the same place on foreign soil. and it totally undermines Trump's actual strengths. that he is the "crazy guy" in the room. which as much as you guys do not understand it, makes him a better negotiator and allow him to not only talk "tougher" than is normal but it is taken with greater.

all because the left lost the election. the left must be the sorest group of losers on the planet. whiney babies.

if trump goes down for nothing i hope he takes a full steam, nothing-to-lose attitude on the way out and exposes everything every crook and scam in the entire government along the way.

the man was elected. in spite of actual collusion on the part of HRC and the DNC. and Obama rigged the entire DOJ and boobie trapped the entire goverment on his way in so as to obstruct every single move. it is clear that trump himself did nothing. took no meeting. and his son don Jr. is clearly not going to flip on him so will not testify against him.

and this 27 year old douchebag kid, papadoppoulous is a going nowhere idiot that somehow got into the room for a brief moment and was turned down..

and i wont be surprised if HRC and the DNC through fusion and steele(however indirectly) paid for carter page and and papadopoulous to to be counter agents to soil this up for trump.

the left and CNN used to have my ear. at this point i see both as unamerican. and if i see them as such I can only imagine how brietbart folks look at them. keep in mind guys, i'm a well to do doctor in living in fulton market in chicago. and I sympathize with the working class small town folks far more than this new version of the DNC and the left which i grew up admiring. sad indeed.

If trump takes the gloves off and weaponizes the DOJ himself? he has my full support. leave no stone unturned. broad strokes on pardons so muelller has no where to take this silly thing then go after everyone.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

my point in the earlier post

and Orange lied about it later saying the hackers could have been anyone
when he knew exactly who it was. A 400 lb guy in his br, typical DJT BS.

SD, what changed in less than a year when you were a registered Democrat who supported far left-wing candidate Sanders - to now with you being lock stock and barrel with Trump - who stands for absolutely nothing that Sanders did - on virtually everything?
