trump controversies

We're stocking up today after work. I generally eat a low carb, high protein diet. Not having any meats would cause huge issues. Continued from this thread. You may quote or respond to any posts in that or any previous part of this topic.

It's also not fair to RBG, an 86 year old multiple cancer survivor, to not be able to enjoy her remaining years after decades public service because... well sorry lady but we accidently put the entire future hope of us continuing to have a fully functioning democracy on your shoulders, sorry...

For those unfamiliar with the reference, the "Saturday Night Massacre" was when two of Richard Nixon's attorneys-general resigned rather than carry out his inappropriate orders to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Today in DC, US Attorneys are apparently withdrawing and resigning over...

Is Rudy working for Putin or Trump is he spreading debunked Conspiracy Propoganda and How will this effect the Impeachment? https://youtu.be/hCm9HkVaVYk

Again, why does Moscow Mitch have so much power if Republicans disagree with him? Or are they just paying lip service to the idea of a fair process? Thread continued from here.

This is a continuation from here. As is usual, the split point is arbitrary and participants are free to quote from the previous thread. It's about 11 weeks between Election Day and the inauguration. If Trump loses, there will be nothing to restrain him, and, based on his history, he will be...

The US has assassinated a major Iranian leader overnight as a "target of opportunity" in an action that, according to CNN, was planned with only Republican members of Congress. Representatives of the Senate and the Minority Leader in the House (McCarthy) were seen leaving the secured area of...

I don't know why Republicans pretend to care about the homeless, homelessness is a part of the "free market" capitalism model. In fact, it shows that capitalism is working as it should, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Continued from this thread. You may reply to or quote any...

Again: what are they going to do? Send in the S-A-A to arrest Trump? He'll have the Secret Service throw him out. That's the 'weakness' of the rule of law: it seems that is requires liberal amounts of forebearance, and if you have people in government who just don't play by the rules of the...

I would love for the Trump supporters here to explain why Trump obvious love for dictators like Erdogan and Putin, and his contempt for the leaders of democratic nations is a good, acceptable thing.....

Apparently the same anonymous "senior White House official" who wrote the op-ed piece a while ago is about to release a whole book. Judging by their earlier writing, and the quotes from the book cited in the link above, the author, a conservative who seemed to intiailly be enthusiastic about...

This is a continuation from the previous edition of this thread; you may quote posts contained in Part 17 (or indeed, any of the previous threads). Wow!!! Nobody saw that coming. :rolleyes: Well, nobody whose eyes were obscured with Trump feces. Everybody else pointed it out right away...

I posted this earlier and intended to include a poll. Given what you know about President Trump's presidency, do you believe he committed what the founders labeled a "high crime and ir misdemeanor"? Whether his use of his properties constitutes a violation of the "phony Emoluments clause". Or...

Did the Trump administration committed a high crime or misdemeanor? I'm curious. Do you believe that President Trump committed a high crime? If so, why or why not?

The House might have to add to the Articles of Impeachment: As we know, Trump has been hiding his tax returns, and is fighting tooth and nail to keep it that way. On top of that, attempts of the House to learn more about the mandatory audit process of the taxes of the President and VP have been...

There is no transcript for such phone calls because they are not recorded. This has been policy since 1974. (I've read a lot of articles recently and can't point immediately to my source on this, but I believe it was a Post article I read this morning.) This memo, presuming it has not been...

So, it looks like Trump may soon have to deal with impeachment, as support for impeachment from house Democrats is increasing. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/24/20881521/moderate-house-democrats-impeachment-investigation A wave of moderate first-term Democrats from...

I think this merits a thread. The administration is taking what are apparently unprecedented steps to withhold the whistleblower report from congress. It's been reported it involves Trump and the Ukraine. Meanwhile, Guiliani spews gibberish out both sides of his mouth about his efforts, on...

... and then wanted to be never asked about it again But as a former Prosecutor and Director of the FBI, he should aim beyond the bare minimum of telling his superior about a problem that he himself identified as of National Security, i.e. election interference. Continued from here. You can...

Lawrence O'Donnell: Source says Russian oligarchs co-signed Trump's Deutsche Bank loans https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/lawrence-odonnell-source-says-russian-oligarchs-co-signed-trumps-deutsche-bank-loans This is a journalist's statement relying on a single source, but Twitter is aghast.

This is a continuation from Part 15, which has been closed for length. Posts from previous parts may be freely quoted here. Also, The Loss Leader is BACK (limitations apply). It's pretty obvious to me why Trump is taking a sudden interest in Greenland... The Arctic is melting, opening up a...

After being attacked by Trump over the weekend, Anthony Scaramucci is now suggesting that Trump needs to be replaced on the 2020 Republican Ticket. 2DvLUjIB3-I lSZdivRaanU

https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1154820023631962113 I thought it was probably worth this having its own thread for related news, updates, discussion, etc. as it's not wholly related to any other thread and will likely be ongoing for quite a while.

The US deficit is rising (both total and as a ratio to GDP) since Trump took office. The total deficit for 2018 was $779 billion. As of May 2019, the deficit for the year is $739 billion. Projections for 2019 total are $1.1 trillion. Since that would definitely break the debt ceiling, Dems...

Surely you have heard about it. I find it so disturbing I don't even want to link to youtube videos of it. Trump decided to go after Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and his crowd, ever lowering themselves to new levels of deplorable, started chanting "Send her back! SEND HER BACK!..." And here we now...

There are so many to choose from, but I think a top ten list would be helpful. (Surely, one of the PACs will put these together as attack ads) I have, in order of disgustingness: Mocking disabled reporter Abusing Gold Star family Grab them by the pussy Go back to your own country ----hole...

New continuation thread. Original thread can be found here. Feel free to quote from older thread as you would in any thread. Trump Tweets Women’s soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is “not going to the F...ing White House if we win.” Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call...
