Almost as bad as rules made in India. India under Fuhrer Modi has banned beef and threatens to lock up or lynch citizens who transport Beef. Hope USA never falls to such absurd levels.IP: Logged |

I know that the likes of Colbert, NY Times and CNN etc are going hammer and tongs against Trump but some of the steps taken in the past 48 hours are very intelligent in a twisted way. I sense a lot of Steve Bannon input in these moves.90% of Trump's Base will increase their loyalty and devotion. The spin is "Draining the Swamp/Cesspool/Sewer". Anti-Transgender moves without consulting even the Defense Secretary? Attacks on Sessions? Threatening to fire someone in front of Boy Scouts? Hiring someone who was Anti-Trump just a few years back like Scaramucci, who goes on to demean Preibus? Attack the Alaskan Senator on twitter? All classic "Art of the Deal" moves, with Bannon's "Creative Chaos" desire. So much chaos and confusion that suddenly some of the heat is off the Russian Collusion Investigation. He will not hesitate to fire Mueller if Mueller investigates his tax returns, he will not hesitate to pardon anyone FBI accuses either. The Republicans who dare to oppose him will be threatened via loss of the Trump Voter Base. These Mind games will continue until Obamacare is repealed, even if nobody on Earth knows what is in the new Trumpcare Bill. Trump loves a deal. Right now, if Democrats can compromise and go for a deal wherein existing Obamacare Beneficiaries continue to have coverage for the same premium amount in Trumpcare, Trump would accept the deal. I will say this first, Donald Trump could even shift to Democrat Side and win as a Democrat in 2020, leaving the GOP a bloodied sorry mess of a party. Trump is the Ultimate Means of Bannon's "End Game" for USA. IP: Logged |

Personally i see every indication that he is still running the Apprentice... his most successful venture. Whether he has come to believe the part..or is just playing the public who believed "reality" meant real.. I guess time will tell
Fans of Trump’s former television program, The Apprentice, will undoubtedly find the comments familiar. Not only was his catchphrase on the show “you’re fired,” as one reporter pointed out at the press conference on Tuesday, but the show also revolved around the drama of who would get fired week after week. He has teased hires, too, announcing during his campaign a list of potential Supreme Court nominees, andtweeting after the election about his Cabinet picks, “I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!”

Last night i watched one of thr lat Sherlock episodes. The main antagonist was a billionaire serial killer who cowed employees by asking them how long they'd worked for him in a very sinister tone. This was filmed before trumps election. A comment on the frequent misuse of power by some who have the privilege of wielding it.. There's nothing new about DTs style. Just watch Godfather II ...

Very accurate observation by Cat.@Node: Trump was a Democrat. He was very close to the Clintons at one time. A successful businessman does not have too many enemies in the political arena. He is enriching his Brand through this Presidency, and his personality is such that he loves to teach his detractors a lesson while being in the limelight all the time. Now that the GOP has "hurt" him by not repealing Obamacare, he will teach them a lesson they will never forget. With no Democrat leader having Obama's scholarly credentials, and with Hillary beaten so many times, Trump can use his "Art of the Deal" technique to strike a deal with Democrats [who have a huge corpus of funds that a winning personality like Trump can use to the fullest] and play to the Democrat's gallery without losing his "Drain the Swamp" Base. Ye she may lose some evangelical support but he should comfortably get 53-55% Vote Share if he were a Democrat today and spoke against Racism etc. Imagine the News this would make, Trump just loves being in the News all the time. He did not hesitate to bring a former Detractor like the Mooch into his team, did he? Edit: And yes, that Billionaire serial killer episode of Sherlock was chilling. Evil for the sake of Evil.

Yes i still havent shaken the feeling that his candidacy was originally meant to make HRC look like an angel in comparison/ the only sane option. For which of course he expected to be suitably rewarded.IP: Logged |

Nothing to see here. Everyone uses gmail and such, and then they send it over to their government e-mail. Nothing was classified. The only problem is that the government owns the e-mails, so if they ask for computers and you refuse to turn those over, it's a crime. No comparison whatsoever to what Crooked Hillary did.

Perhaps trump supporters need to reread the original post...here...I am a giver after all I will provide an excerpt For the factually challenged.Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports. Boneheaded does not characterize this action correctly. Also from the initial post: Ambassador Sergey Kislyak reported to his superiors in Moscow that Kushner, son-in-law and confidant to then-President-elect Trump, made the proposal during a meeting on Dec. 1 or 2 at Trump Tower, according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials. Kislyak said Kushner suggested using Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States for the communications. The Washington Post report adds that Michael Flynn was also there. If an American intelligence officer had done anything like this, we'd consider it espionage," ...former Acting Director of Central Intelligence John McLaughlin And of course the obvious... The hypocrisy is staggering. Am I surprised? NO

You posted a false narrative a few posts above to attempt to compare Jared to Crooked Hillary, so I corrected you. Pay attention to what is being addressed. The OP subject matter isn't illegal, if, in fact, it happened.IP: Logged |

You "corrected a false narrative"Yet have nothing resembling substance in reply. A private Emil server, and Jared seeking to not only USE [which he did] but in tandem with Russian officials?? Surely a false narrative. Or, comparison for that matter. I pity your clients should you pass the bar. IP: Logged |
