The evil DNC does oppo research which is Politics 101, but Bliss is gagging for the next bullshit Assange info dump. But that's OK because Wikileaks never targets the right
Im just waiting for the Mueller report, he seems to be doing a thorough job so far (although this is pure speculation based on his subpoenas and witness interrogations that have been detailed in the press so far), and when he impaneled a Grand Jury back in August it usually means that he thinks there is a very real (but not 100% guaranteed) chance at indicting Trump. That being said the longer things drag on without charges being filed the less likely it is that they ever will be. As I have said before, Impeachment is a next impossible bar to clear, especially with the GOP with the majority in both houses of congress, not a realistic possibility, even if Mueller finds some kind of earth shattering wrongdoing, I would not bet on impeachment. The 25th amendment, spurred on by potentially damaging findings in the Mueller report or the lawsuit on the emoluments violations that is currently going on in New York, imo has a better shot at removing Trump, or having him step down to save face due to pressure from the GOP. All this being said, as reprehensible as much of his behavior has been since he took office, and still no major policy achievements, I still have not seen definitive proof that would rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors, that would be necessary for impeachment, until I see that I will wait patiently. I await the tax reform bill with great anticipation, lets see if he can get that passed.... Keep an eye on the Trump campaign promises meter over at Politifact... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/
You, Ricardo and Since are mastrbaityn until Monday, but it's not going to be our POTUS. Likely low fruit Manafort, though wishfully, it will be your slimey crimey HillBilly.
There are SEVERAL indictments coming down against this WH. Monday is only the first. All Mueller needs is for one of the indicted to seek a deal and repeat in open testimony what really happened during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign between them and Russia and it's all over. Right now Mueller has simply turned on the lights in the kitchen and is watching to see where the rats run.
Wishful thinking, deflection, and projection all at the same time. It's very often that you see the right-wing hat trick but here we are.
For the people that thought that if Trump won the people would learn to stop supporting shitty republicans like him...... Do you still think that? Do you think that they may learn by the end of his term?
Lol..you actually just described the Left-wing hat trick. Current example, the Uranium One deal. How convenient these indictments came today but didn't under Mueller years ago. Or that Clinton and Obama's Campaign gave almost $10 million for the fake dossier. Notice Podesta just resigned? So keep your hat-tricks where they belong, with you.
If you have actually followed the news, Manafort is, for the majority, being indicted for things that happened before 2014. (Trump is not mentioned at all in the indictment.) However while Manafort was allegedly receiving money from Russia he was working with Podesta. John Podesta was Hillary's campaign manager.Why did his brother Tony resign from their Group today?) Nine months, 400 Democratic lawyers and a 100 million dollars and this is the result?..Lol..money crimes in DC..a sure hit with how many?! Too many. Mueller is likely trying to cover up his own criminal activities in Uranium 1. Also, his leaking of grand jury indictments is not only unethical, it's illegal. Congressman Trey Gowdy stated this morning that Mueller's leaking of grand jury indictments is illegal. So now it looks like we're going to have to have a special counsel to investigate the special counsel.
Oh c'mon now, your beast Hillbilly was and is, in the thick of it. Yet Eric Holder and the DOJ under the Obama administration REFUSED to appointment a special prosecutor, despite the call for it. So now Mueller (Obama's holdover), has charged Manafort and Gates with 'financial wrongdoing' - (as explained to AB, this is Washington DC we're talking about; financial wrongdoing charges for a prominent person in DC is as close to an 'automatic hit' as you get in American jurisprudence). Obviously Mueller's long and expensive special inquiry has drawn a 'Trump Russian Goverment collusion' blank.
"What a crowd. What a crowd. Thank you for coming out." ~~ Said Trump to Texas hurricane victims :lol Apparently, Trump Wanted To Throw Cans Of Chicken At Hurricane Victims "Several first-hand accounts from the ground tell a different perspective than the administration, which claimed Trump’s Tuesday trip (Oct. 4) was a success. Reporters from CNN and The Washington Post shared how the infamous paper towel moment very well could’ve been canned goods instead. Speaking from the Cavalry Chapel, a church in the lavish area of San Juan, Trump was intrigued by canned chicken and was interested in tossing them into the crowd of Hurricane victims. “Whoa! I’ve never seen that before. That looks kind of good,” he said. “Let’s start handing it out. Do you feel like this?” https://www.vibe.com/2017/10/trump-wanted-to-throw-cans-of-chicken-at-hurricane-victims/ "We're going to help you out. Have a good time." ~~ Donald Trump :lol
Key points that President Trump’s supporters in the US seem to frequently bring up: Politicians screw things up – and have been for years. Even Republicans. Because they are bought and paid for by powerful interests. They do not care about ordinary people, just the rich. Trump tells it like it is – as shown by his tweets. Unlike the media and the politicians, he is not careful with his words, he is not politically correct. He says things that wind up hurting him, which just goes to show you how honest he is. You can trust him. Trump is a successful business man – so he knows how to get things done in the real world. It means he understands how to make the country wealthier, as proved by the stock market going up and unemployment going down. Trump will shake things up – as shown by his fearlessness in saying what he thinks, as shown by his complete lack of experience as a politician. He cares about ordinary people. He cares deeply about the country and where it is headed. Because he is himself rich, he is independent of the powerful interests that bought and paid for Congress. Trump is not racist – that is what the left calls you when they cannot win a debate. They are the real racists. Trump was right about Charlottesville – both sides are to blame for the violence. But the left started it. After all, the Klan had the proper permits. It was the left who came in and screwed things up. We need a wall – to keep us safe. What is wrong with enforcing the law? Without borders we have no country. The media is unfair – you cannot believe anything they say. They should just give you the facts and let you make up your own mind. But they hate Trump too much to do that. CNN is fake news. Thank God we have Trump’s tweets to tell us the truth! The Russia stuff is made up – after a year there is not a shred of evidence to prove it. The Democrats are just sore losers who cannot admit they lost fair and square. That is why they make a big deal out of Russiagate. Give Trump a chance – if the media and the Republicans in Congress would give him a chance, he could get some good things done. He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Media diet: Trump’s tweets, Fox News. In short, have faith in Trump, do not believe CNN, and blame Congress. Write off scandal and incompetence as fake news, deep state and on-the-job training. Do not take everything he says seriously – just the parts you want to believe. With that kind of thinking, they are with him for the long term. That is 35% of the country. Meanwhile some 48%, myself among them, suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. That leaves 17% somewhere in between. The fate of the nation rests with them.
Yup! How bigly of him. The second one totally speaks volumes. You're getting the real deal when it comes to children and animals.
It began on Sunday morning when Mr. Trump, posting on Twitter, accused Mr. Corker of deciding not to run for re-election because he “didn’t have the guts.” Mr. Corker shot back in his own tweet: “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.” The senator, Mr. Trump said, had “begged” for his endorsement. “I said ‘NO’ and he dropped out (said he could not win without my endorsement),” the president wrote. He also said that Mr. Corker had asked to be secretary of state. “I said ‘NO THANKS,’” he wrote. Mr. Corker flatly disputed that account, saying Mr. Trump had urged him to run again, and promised to endorse him if he did. But the exchange laid bare a deeper rift: The senator views Mr. Trump as given to irresponsible outbursts — a political novice who has failed to make the transition from show business. Mr. Trump poses such an acute risk, the senator said, that a coterie of senior administration officials must protect him from his own instincts. “I know for a fact that every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him,” Mr. Corker said in a telephone interview. The deeply personal back-and-forth will almost certainly rupture what had been a friendship with a fellow real estate developer turned elected official, one of the few genuine relationships Mr. Trump had developed on Capitol Hill. Still, even as he leveled his stinging accusations, Mr. Corker repeatedly said on Sunday that he liked Mr. Trump, until now an occasional golf partner, and wished him “no harm.” The White House did not respond to a request for comment on Mr. Corker’s remarks. Mr. Trump’s feud with Mr. Corker is particularly perilous given that the president has little margin for error as he tries to pass a landmark overhaul of the tax code — his best, and perhaps last, hope of producing a major legislative achievement this year. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/08/...tion=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Trump's popularity is slipping in rural America: poll Trump's popularity is slipping in rural America: poll John Wilson, 70, at the Morgan County Fair in McConnelsville, Ohio. REUTERS/Tim Reid (Reuters) - Outside the Morgan County fair in McConnelsville, in a rural swath of Ohio that fervently backed U.S. President Donald Trump in last year’s election, ticket seller John Wilson quietly counts off a handful of disappointments with the man he helped elect. The 70-year-old retired banker said he is unhappy with infighting and turnover in the White House. He does not like Trump’s penchant for traveling to his personal golf resorts. He wishes the president would do more to fix the healthcare system, and he worries that Trump might back down from his promise to force illegal immigrants out of the country. “Every president makes mistakes,” Wilson said. “But if you add one on top of one, on top of another one, on top of another, there’s just a limit.” Trump, who inspired millions of supporters last year in places like Morgan County, has been losing his grip on rural America. According to the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll, the Republican president’s popularity is eroding in small towns and rural communities where 15 percent of the country’s population lives. The poll of more than 15,000 adults in “non-metro” areas shows that they are now as likely to disapprove of Trump as they are to approve of him. In September, 47 percent of people in non-metro areas approved of Trump while 47 percent disapproved. That is down from Trump’s first four weeks in office, when 55 percent said they approved of the president while 39 percent disapproved. The poll found that Trump has lost support in rural areas among men, whites and people who never went to college. He lost support with rural Republicans and rural voters who supported him on Election Day. And while Trump still gets relatively high marks in the poll for his handling of the economy and national security, rural Americans are increasingly unhappy with Trump’s record on immigration, a central part of his presidential campaign. Forty-seven percent of rural Americans said in September they approved of the president’s handling of immigration, down from 56 percent during his first month in office. Poll respondents who were interviewed by Reuters gave different reasons for their dissatisfaction with the president on immigration. A few said they are tired of waiting for Trump to make good on his promise to build a wall along America’s southern border, while others said they were uncomfortable with his administration’s efforts to restrict travel into the United States. “There should be some sort of compromise between a free flow of people over the border and something that’s more controlled,” said Drew Carlson, 19, of Warrensburg, Missouri, who took the poll. But Trump’s “constant fixation on deportation is a little bit unsettling to me.” The Trump administration would not comment about the Reuters/Ipsos poll. To be sure, Trump is still much more popular in rural America than he is elsewhere. Since he took office, “I like him less, but I support him more,” said Robert Cody, 87, a retired chemical engineer from Bartlesville, Oklahoma who took the poll. Cody said that Trump may rankle some people with the way he talks and tweets, but it is a small price to pay for a president who will fight to strip away government regulations and strengthen the border. DROPPING OFF THE SCREEN When Trump called the election a ”last shot“ for the struggling coal industry and when he called for protecting the nation’s southern border with a “big, fat, beautiful wall”, he was speaking directly to rural America, said David Swenson, an economist at Iowa State University. “Feelings of resentment and deprivation have pervaded a lot of these places,” Swenson said. “And here comes a candidate (Trump) who’s offering simplistic answers” to issues that concern them. Rural Americans responded by supporting Trump over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by 26 percentage points during the election, an advantage that helped tip the balance in battleground states, such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where Trump won by less than 1 percentage point. But after 10 months, many are still waiting to see concrete changes that could make life easier in rural America, said Karl Stauber, who runs a private economic development agency serving a patchwork of manufacturing communities in south central Virginia. “Rural people are more cynical about the federal government than people in general are,” Stauber said. “They’ve heard so many promises, and they’ve not seen much done.” Despite all the talk of bringing manufacturing jobs back, Stauber said he has not seen any companies which have relocated to his region, or anyone expand their workforce, due to new federal policies. “It just seems like we’ve dropped off the screen,” he said. According to the poll, Trump’s overall popularity has dropped gradually, and for different reasons, this year. Rural Americans were increasingly unhappy with Trump’s handling of healthcare in March and April after he lobbied for a Republican plan to overhaul Obamacare and cut coverage for millions of Americans. In May and June, they were more critical of Trump’s ability to carry out U.S. foreign policy, and they gave him lower marks for “the way he treats people like me.” In August, they were increasingly unhappy with “the effort he’s making to unify the country” after he blamed “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a suspected white nationalist drove his car into a crowd of anti-racist demonstrators. The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English across the United States. It asked people to rate the president’s performance and the results were filtered for people who lived in zip codes that fell within counties designated as “non-metro” by the federal government. The poll combined the results of “non-metro” respondents into nine, four-week periods. Each period included between 1,300 and 2,000 responses and had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 3 percentage points. Reporting by Chris Kahn and Tim Reid; Editing by Jonathan Oatis
