I'm tired of this...

The Bush '16 campaign probably spent good money, including market research and strip mall focus groups, to develop that logo/tag.

It's... JEB!.

Get it right. :(


:D
 
Trump insists he didn’t stay overnight in Moscow in 2013; flight records show he was there for 45 hours… What’s the betting his new story is yes but he never went to bed the whole time
 
Trump hasn't invited any Democratic members of Congress to the state dinner for the French president tomorrow. It has been customary in the past for Presidents to invite opposition party leaders to state dinners.
 
Trump tweeted

"Hard to believe Obstructionists May vote against Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State. The Dems will not approve hundreds of good people, including the Ambassador to Germany. They are maxing out the time on approval process for all, never happened before. Need more Republicans!"

He seems to have forgotten that although there are 139 posts awaiting confirmation he hasn't even bothered nominating anyone for 209 posts.
There are 16 ambassadorships awaiting confirmation but there aren't even names for 32 ambassadorships.
 
Well, my POV on this will surprise some folks. It looks at first like corruption up the ying yang:

U.S. eases sanctions on aluminum firm tied to Russian oligarch

But supposedly
The Treasury Department Monday eased sanctions on Russian aluminum producer Rusal and said it would consider lifting them altogether if the company severs ties with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.

Rusal was sanctioned earlier this month by Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control because of Deripaska's stake in the company. The Russian billionaire is alleged to have conducted a range of illegal activities, including money laundering, extortion and ordering the murder of a businessman, according to Treasury.

MSNBC didn't exactly report that whole story, making it look like the easing of sanctions benefitted the oligarch.

OTOH, could be the divestment is nothing but a ruse, shifting paper the way one shifts money when laundering it. And maybe the easing is all that is needed which is not dependent on the oligarch severing ties.

I think MSNBC should have mentioned the requirement of divestment in order to lift the sanctions altogether. But I would also hope they have some investigating journalism looking deeper given Trump's history.

Trump gave a gift to Rosenstein for his first appearance before the Supreme Court. It was a set of presidential cuff links. Trump seems to have done this to watch liberal heads explode.

Not only did you not read the linked article, you didn't even read the headline for content. The headline says McGhan gave him the cuff links, not Grump. Worse, the content of the article says NOTHING about the cuff links which means the headline is unjustified.

That's gotta be embarrassing, logger, but do hang in here to learn about the concept of evidence. It's fun.

Maybe he was in the Moscow area, but not actually in some very narrow and specific definition of the city of Moscow itself ?

Like, "I never stayed overnight in the City of London, I stayed in Bayswater" :cool:

That is way to sophisticated for Trump lies. He doesn't lie with technicalities he lies with a total disregard for the truth, and an knowledge that reality will never impact his desires in the slightest.

I don't think even the wingnuts are able to make sense of their conspiracy theories anymore. Who's a good guy? Who's a bad deep state guy? No clue. It's whomever Dear Leader takes offense to at the moment, I guess.

Somehow you missed this quote right below the headline, I wouldn’t call it embarrassing for you, that would be petty.
On Friday, White House counsel Don McGahn gave him special presidential cufflinks
'These are my official Donald Trump cuff links'

Now Trump May have known nothing about McGahn giving them to Rosenstein, I’m sure you’ll continue to believe that.
