You don't set this up with a favor asked in a phone call. You A) Punt it to the Justice Department from the start, or B) Fund your own op ed research.

Pretty fucking asinine after 2 years of Mueller.

We'd have to go back pre civil war to find an administration corrupt and cavalier as this

Even moreso, he's still babbling about that fucking DNC sever like it's the missing arc of the covenant

The DNC server isn't a server, but a multiple of cloud files already looked over by the FBI.

He doesn't under how computers work, because he doesn't use one. Aids have to print out his emails for him to read.

Darman knows what's up. A big ol multi trillion dollar scheme of gay.

US is pretty right wing compared to Canada and Europe. Drawing direct parallels is an error.

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

literal 9001 IQ

What did you learn from that statement?

What message was he communicating?

Q: We tried to get your campaign and the other campaigns to hold forth or whether or not they supported the current GI bill. In congress, a sneaky vote in the house — no roll call - is going to cut money from the GI bill to allow for other expenditures for vets. Vets were upset. “No, don’t take money from us and reallocate it. Find the savings elsewhere.” Do you support maintaining the GI bill the way it is and growing it instead of cutting it?

TRUMP: I don’t want to hurt our vets. We treat illegal immigrants better than our vets. I’m going to help the vets. I’m going to only help them. — unlike Hillary Clinton who thinks the vets are getting too much? They’re not. I’ve traveled, seen so many vets I know so many vets now and have a lot of friends. I have developed great friendships among the vets. Our vets are —

Q: Is that a yes, “I do support the current GI bill?”

DONALD TRUMP: No. I want to bring jobs back to our country and make the country grow again. I just traveled. I won so many states in a row in massive landslides and part of the reason was trade. Not what you brought up at the beginning of the show, totally inappropriate. Part of the reason I won was because of trade and I talk trade and I’m the only one that can do anything about trade.

Why did he start talking about trade when he was asked a direct question about the GI Bill?

Are you really this fucking stupid?

Sidelining a specific question to babble about how he met a bunch of people?

how?

how was it phrased to make him look bad? What did he specifcally address about the GI Bill?

read the transcript.

No, it was a television interview.

He was asked about the GI Bill, and he just said I want to help vets, Hillary doesn't, and that he met alot of people.

that has no revelance to the content of his response

Who did he hire to help run the VA?

https://www.propublica.org/article/ike-perlmutter-bruce-moskowitz-marc-sherman-shadow-rulers-of-the-va

. Trump and Perlmutter regularly talk on the phone and dine together when the president visits Mar-a-Lago. “On any veterans issue, the first person the president calls is Ike,” another former official said. Former administration officials say that VA leaders who were at odds with the Mar-A-Lago Crowd were pushed out or passed over. Included, those officials say, were the secretary (whose ethical lapses also played a role), deputy secretary, chief of staff, acting under secretary for health, deputy under secretary for health, chief information officer, and the director of electronic health records modernization.

At times, Perlmutter, Moskowitz and Sherman have created headaches for VA officials because of their failure to follow government rules and processes. In other cases, they used their influence in ways that could benefit their private interests. They say they never sought or received any financial gain for their advice to the VA.

Pentagon is sending more troops to Saudi Arabia, so.

Thing is, he centered his whole ire against Iran for them funding terrorism, yet Saudis are the prime benefactor of Wahhabit cells.

Trump's stolen the heart of the GOP. He's going to leave a fat stinky black hole when out of office, and they have no one to replace him.

The majority of undocumented citizens are visa overstays, and Canadians are double that of brown people.

So it's a giant pork barrel project for a racist base.

https://cis.org/Report/DHS-Reports-Slight-Dip-Overstays-2018

Canada is close to 100,000, Mexico 50,000

@Pelth 11 million that showed up at once, or over time. The same 11 million that leveled and declined under Obama?

They underuse social benifits, because undocumented citizens aren't eligble for most of them.

Why not? They're a net benefit to the economy with lower crime rates than natives.

if they're benifiting the economy doing so, idgaf. Country has bigger problems, yet half of it applauds shutting down government over a wall.

some do. many others use fake SS numbers to pay taxes, which they get no returns for.

@babyfriend1 do you have any data to back that up? Cause I got multiple studies that concluded they're a net economic gain.

derp

@babyfriend1 is income the only way people benefit the economy?

good old punitive wankery from conservatives.

@Pelth What level of criminality is illegal immigration under?

@Pelth it's actually a misdemeanor, with a max 6 month sentence for first offences. There's DUI laws harsher than that. So if you've gotten a few traffic tickets, you're the same level of criminal as an illegal citizen.

so pepertuate the problem you're making worse by default. Sounds like the drug war.

arrest the career criminals, give amnesty for those that are just minding their business.

The chump change Trump's pilfered isn't going to build much of a wall. Pentagon already revoked 2.5 billion because costs exceeded estimates.

Again, a dumb pork barrel project.

what consesus opinion

What consensus opinion are they contradicting?

yet you can't specify why.

What experiments?

Name one.

Blank assertions are the definition of an emotional argument.

Which is what you're doing.

Show me one of these studies then. It's already pulling teeth getting you to engage in specifics.

troll or poe at this point.

Yet you can't cite a single example.

strong opinions on shit, yet you can even give a single bit of evidence.

if you can't even cite a second or thirdhand source referencing this, then you're full of shit.

Back to climate change, it's actually academic census that burning coal is great for the environment.

But don't ask me for sources, they're locked in the Koch family's vault.

Also Al Gore has a trillion dollar stake in chinese apple factories.

William Barr told me. Cuz we tight like that.

that source is bullshit. American's aren't scientific. They're American.

:^)

3 trillion gay frogs are heating the planet from their sodomy.

>ecosystem of the jurassic era is the same as today

@Cobra Commander You're wasting time with a bad faith actor.

libertarism wasn't a thing. It was basic bitch enlightenment liberalism.

Trump could have avoided this entirely by punting it to the State Department, or writing a check for op ed research. He'd still be chasing a dumb conspiracy theory, but nothing illegal.
Instead he has his own personal lawyer, which we don't even know the full extent of his clearance with national security, scuttling around with foreign powers asking for dirt. What business does Guiliani have being there?

Sure.

If Dems want to win 2020 for sure, they need to nut up and go for impeachment.

Who said anything about conviction in the senate? Get Trump's dumb ass to testify under oath, watch him prejur himself dozens of times, then show republicans ignoring it, as they did with his obstruction of justice.

They already have that in the works. How is Trump going to defend his status quo?

There's dozens of things to attack Trump on, including holding him to standards of success republicans would desire. Failing to repeal and replace Obamacare is embarrassing as fuck, and they know it.

You're missing the other consequences of impeachment entirely. Always to the finish line of whether Trump meets a criminal standard.

Putting this on the senate debate floor, examining the evidence of the Ukraine shit entirely helps circulate it to the public. It will expose the GOP bastards for being party loyalists.

She clowned Trump on the shutdown, but yeah, throw her old ass out. Old guard of delusional corporate dems that guided Hillary to defeat.

this meme again. Can you tell me the difference between polls and projections?

Trumpers don't care about anything. They're in it for the show.

They just let him waddle to the podium and babble about whatever he wants for 2 hours.

yeah, that Khashoggi shit revealed what a craven, nihilistic asshole he really is.

Dems offered the wall for DACA. But as with everything else, Trump wants everything.

His idea of a good deal is all concessions for his end with vague promises to the other party. It's not a real estate deal.

Like, he could have possibly formed an economic coalition against china and put serious pressure on them. Instead he pulls out of the TPP and NAFTA and starts trade wars with everything. Every single push by this administration is done in the most asinine, convoluted, and least efficient way.

Him praising Roy Cohn as one of his closest mentors, along with Roger Stone, kinda says it all. Old pedigree of republican clown fascism that began with Nixon.

Rick Perry as head of the Dept of Energy.

After Scott Pruit

obviously trying to dismantle those departments entirely.

Trump could be caught selling crack to children, they'll never leave him.
