The Trump Presidency 15

[ponderingturtle]

It's a dangerous precedent but I think we need a second special counsel to prosecute crimes committed by the Trump regime after he's removed from office. We don't want new administrations to make a habit of investigating the former but we can't let crimes such as these go unpunished.

Not a crime if Trump OKed it. See the whole Vallery Plame thing.

Unless Trump claims that he declassified the intel, that should be obvious, and if he did that, then Trump committed an impeachable act of abuse of power and malfeasance.

ETA: What did Kushner get in exchange for the intel? The answer to that may indicate other crimes.

But he got a dangerous enemy of the american people at the washington post killed out of it so it is all good.

Seriously how the hell does anyone "accidentally" watch a TV show?

The remote was out of reach and it was too much effort to lumber to his feet and get it.

I don't know their schedule -- does the HBO show before Maher feature boobs?

There's Ivanka for that. And she's always on.

He didn't have anyone to press the remote control button.

Here's proof that Trump can't be racist...

From: https://nypost.com/2019/08/09/trump...ntrol-kamikaze-pilots-at-hamptons-fundraiser/
Trump also made fun of US allies South Korea, Japan and the European Union — mimicking Japanese and Korean accents — and talked about his love of dictators Kim Jong Un and the current ruler of Saudi Arabia.

See? He cares so much about foreign cultures that he even tries to mimic their accents!

Oh, and in case anyone overlooked it:

This little incident occurred at an event organized by Stephen Ross. If you recall, Ross is the owner of some health and fitness clubs that are currently being boycotted by some members because of Ross' support of Trump. Ross has defended himself by saying "I'm not racist. I disagree with Trump on some stuff", and the clubs themselves have said "Ross is a silent partner".

So, for Trump to engage in racist behavior (by mocking Asian accents) at the very event that Ross is being criticized for holding because of Trump's racism is especially poignant.

Ross: I want to hold a fundrasier for Trump
Non-racist people: You're supporting a racist president
Ross: I'm not racist... I disagree with Trump on certain things
Trump: Hold my beer....

It's not about immigrants, it's about people who break the law. Oh, wait ...

New regulation from the Trump administration will make it harder for legal immigrants to get green cards and visas. Especially if they're from poor countries.

The Trump administration released a regulation Monday that could dramatically cut the number of legal immigrants allowed to enter and stay in the US by making it easier to reject green card and visa applications.
The rule means many green card and visa applicants could be turned down if they have low incomes or little education, and have used benefits such as most forms of Medicaid, food stamps, and housing vouchers, because they'd be deemed more likely to need government assistance in the future.
It will encourage "self-reliance and self-sufficiency for those seeking to come to or stay in the United States," said acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli, appearing in the White House briefing room. In doing so, though, it'll likely make it harder for low-income immigrants to come to the US.

I get a little nervous when The PDJT hasn't tweeted or retweeted for several hours in the morning. He must be attempting some massive damage control.

For all his talk about 'MS13' and criminal gangs it always seems to be the soft targets he goes after, the DACA Dreamers, children at the border, now legal migrants who are pretty much doing the jobs Americans don't want to do.

Seriously how the hell does anyone "accidentally" watch a TV show?

While, as I've said before, I wouldn't believe it if Trump told me at 12:00 noon that the sun was shining without outside verification, but if you're channel surfing, it would be easy to stumble accidentally onto a show and then start watching it.

There's a petition to rename the portion of 5th Avenue on which Trump Tower NY stands "Barrack H. Obama Avenue"

That is the most brilliant star in today’s sky.

Seriously, that is hardly a "Trump lie". That's just an euphemism we all use when having seen some TV show we actually don't like: It means "I watched this and it was just as bad as I had expected."

Trump makes plenty of big lies. No reason to bother with the small ones.

Got to see, by accident, wacko comedian Bill Maher’s show...

I wonder if Trump's tweets will backfire, and the added publicity will actually cause Maher's ratings to increase.

Well I do accidentally watch shows, when the TV is on in a waiting room for example. But I suspect that isn't a problem for Trump.

If Trump told me the sun rises in the east, I'd assume he meant to say west but got confused.

Coming across the show while channel surfing is an accident. Continuing to watch it isn't an accident; it's a choice.

 

[Minoosh]

Ummm... why would Russian meddling be of great concern? Its benefiting the GOP, so I think its safe to say that the senators would be A-Ok with it.

Because they at least acknowledge it's going on and see the potential for this damaging U.S. interests, even if they're happy with the results so far.
