Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 19

[SezMe]

Trump says

We have to protect all of these people that came up with, originally, the light bulb and the wheel and all of these things.

I'm having a senior moment; I can't remember the name of the great American who invented the wheel.

It's really nice to have light bulbs and wheels, I use them every day. Just keep China getting our intellectual property. If they had the wheel, who knows where they would be now.

I was reading again today that Trump denies knowing Parnas and that Parnas is a "con man". I wonder if Parnas has released all of the information he has related to Trump or if he's hanging on to some of it. I can't imagine there's anything left that would prove Trump's guilt more than it is now, but it would be fun to see some embarrassing text messages or something.

But the fact is everything Parnas has said, he has offered documents to back it up.

If what Trump says is true, why doesn't he have Rudy, Bolton, Mulvaney testify and have the DOD and State Department provide documents to prove it?

Except that Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. Someone should also point out to Trump that Elon Musk is an immigrant. He's from Africa.

Musk is quite wealthy. A multitude of potential problems can be ignored because of that.

Trump says

“He [Elon] has to, because we help him, so he has to help us."​

As one of the posters pointed out, “with Trump, everything is transactional.”

...the wheel?

Well known to have been invented in the USA, it was that Trump bloke who came up with the idea.

Impeached or not, Clinton's sexual harassment scandals definitely hurt Gore.

Why, did he fancy Monica?

 

[acbytesla]

Why, did he fancy Monica?

Who's to say. But you do know that Monica came onto Bill.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Why, did he fancy Monica?

Guilt by association the same way Jeb!'s campaign was doomed by GW's needless war.

Gore would have had to criticize Clinton and that's a damned if you do/don't situation. Complain and you are a disloyal friend. Don't complain and you are backing the behavior up.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Who's to say. But you do know that Monica came onto Bill.

The Monica thing with Bill never bothered me, though he was an ******* to her.

And Paula Jones was looking for a big payout which she got in the end.

But there were a bunch of other accusations that really did add up when looking at Clinton's overall bad behavior.

Trump Retweeted (Mark Levin)
... 'AOC is such an embarrassing, barely literate moron'. ...

ahem. I mean... I'm not sure what Mark Levin is smocking. He's not a stupid guy, so I guess he's judging AOC by his own standards as opposed to those of the presedent. Both Levin and AOC made the honers roll at college, but trump didn't, not that this is something the great orange hope would loose sleep over.

Mr. Levin, if you're really looking to point out someone who's lexically impoverished, there are some more obvious marks.

Who's to say. But you do know that Monica came onto Bill.

The stain testifies that it was the other way around.

I'll be going now.

We all know Adam Schiff loves hearing himself talk. So, let’s give him something to talk about:

1) Why did Schiff collude with the "whistleblower?”

2) What instructions did he provide the "whistleblower?"

3) Why did Schiff hire the “whistleblower’s” co-worker?

The Obama Administration strategically withheld foreign aid:

Ukraine - $1B THREATENED TO WITHHOLD

Pakistan - $800M WITHHELD

Colombia - $450M CONDITIONED

Philippines - $433M NOT RENEWED

Egypt - $260M WITHHELD

Honduras - $30M WITHHELD

Mexico - $26M WITHHELD

They really do show their contempt for the public.

It was Thomas Edison. It only took him 10,000 attempts to come up with the right shape.

At least with kings you expect contempt.
