  • I honestly think there is a large portion of the 'deplorables' that think these affairs are cool. I'm not convinced his reputation has been damaged significantly at all in the eyes of his supporters.

    Those 30% ish are a lost cause. It's the other 10% or so who held their nose and voted to him that matter politically.

    I could buy this.

    I spoke with a lady at work yesterday who was a victim of one of those phone scams. She lives in rural Virginia (near the WV border), and she's older and diabetic. She got a call from some random number who demanded $5,000 for some medication and if she didn't pay she'd be facing jail time. That's how she explained it. Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either but she said "I was stupid enough to believe it so I paid them."

    Then she started complaining that the FBI was too busy trying to impeach the president to devote time to catching the perpetrator and that the FBI didn't care about regular Americans or some shit. She also says she has a 13k judgment on her title because she "got caught up in Obama Care."   ?


    This is the 25-30% of Trump's base that won't be swayed by just about anything.

    It's the other, slightly more reasonable, 10-13% that matter.

    The McDougal interview is an attempt to illustrate that Team Trump Treason is capable of love, that he has feelings, he’s human. Personally, I could care less who he sleeps with. I’m more concerned with law breaking and attorneys violating their ethics and oaths.

    over/under on whether Team Trump Treason fires Session on Sunday to overshadow the 60 Minutes storm?

    further to the "if she wasn't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her" file:

    She recalled meeting Trump's other older children, and said Trump had complimented her by comparing her favorably to his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump.
    "He said I was beautiful like her," McDougal said. "And, you know, 'You're a smart girl.' There wasn't a lot of comparing, but there was some. I heard a lot about her."
    McDougal added that she did not think it was strange for Trump to brag about his daughter
    Darwinspeed, all.

    Far-right media fumes as Trump signs bill

    From CNN's Oliver Darcy

    Matt Drudge the influential conservative aggregator tweeted this screenshot of his website today that read FAKE VETO moments after Trump announced he signed the spending bill
    Matt Drudge, the influential conservative aggregator, tweeted this screenshot of his website today that read, "FAKE VETO," moments after Trump announced he signed the spending bill.Drudge/Twitter

    Far-right media personalities fumed on Friday after President Trump signed a spending bill he previously threatened to veto into law.

    They were upset the $1.3 trillion package did not include complete funding for his promised wall along the US-Mexico border.

    In a string of tweets, Ann Coulter, a conservative media firebrand who was one of Trump's most outspoken supporters during the 2016 election, skewered the President. After Trump said he would never sign a bill like this into law again, Coulter quipped, "Yeah, because you'll be impeached."

    A headline on Breitbart, the far-right website which is generally very supportive of Trump's agenda, said, "RIP BORDER WALL

    I see he's back on the transgender ban in the military. Seems a little more focused this time. Of course this comes on a Friday night before the weekend shit show. Who can keep up with the chaos.

    Found out recently that my father in law voted for Dennison.  He is 82, collects social security and is on medicaid.  

    He is unhappy with Dennison because of the elephant hunting issue.  Imagine that.

    You have to stand in awe of the GOP.  How they can convince people like my FIL to vote GOP is beyond all logic.

    Today it's in the German news again, how radical and anti-islamic Bolton is and how dangerous this appointment is in general:
    "US President Trump's new security adviser, Bolton, not only stands for a militaristic foreign policy, he also leads a think tank that spreads disinformation about Germany."
    He's Fake News in person! 

    Fuck Trumpet... :rage:

    To be honest, I'm near to getting a bit afraid already.
    I mean really, there is Democracy going down in Turkey, Trump is ruining America and destroying the last existing fragile world rules, not talking about all the radical stuff happening in the East States, Brexit Shit causing trouble all around Europe, right moving people thinking they can allow themselves nearly everything now everywhere in our so called "First world" States, Putin, Global warming... etc. ... and we still have people dying from hunger so all this stuff I mentioned is just caused by us "privileged" people who already got enough to make a "normal good" living.

    I think I just have enough of all that shit, looks like it's all getting worse and worse and nobody is really doing anything.

    I'm actually not fearful of Dennison.  It is nice that our system can allow for a complete moron to be elected and still move forward.  It's good that there is a four year cap on the office itself.

    Costa from the Washington Post was on MTP this morning saying that his insiders tell him that Mattis isn't happy about Bolton.

    It would be interesting if Mattis blocks Bolton internally.  Or resigns if he makes it through.  

    Of course, Mattis might think he needs to suck it up and stay in order to keep tabs on those idiots.  

    I really have a feeling that Mattis is the guy keeping everything in check right now.

    From that German Article about Bolton:

    John Bolton 

    The return of the falcon

    Stand: 25.03.2018 13:19 Uhr

    He was one of the architects of the Iraq war, George W. Bush served as UN ambassador. Now John Bolton will become the new security adviser to US President Trump. Who is this man?


    By Martina Buttler, ARD Studio Washington


    John Bolton is a hardliner. The man with the bushy mustache is the third National Security Advisor appointed by Donald Trump. He is a friend of clear words, moderate tones are alien to him. A few weeks ago at the Conservatives' meeting, he warned massively against China, calling for US arming: "We want peace through strength, we want a strong America from Donald Trump," Bolton said.
    Bolton is against the Iran deal, which he described as Diplomatic Waterloo. In North Korea, he can certainly warm up for a pre-em
    ptive strike by the United States. He was in the 1990s under George Bush senior in the State Department, later he became UN ambassador. But only because the US President appointed him with a jar without voting in Congress. 100 US diplomats had opposed him in an open letter. Bolton is famous in Washington and he knows Washington. An advantage for the new job, as he finds.

    "The most dangerous man in the Bush administration"

    He knows all the corridors in Washington, he says in an interview with Fox News. For the conservative television station, he worked last as a commentator. Bolton was also in talks as Trumps before taking office as a possible foreign minister. Now he comes to the White House as a National Security Advisor.
    Just a few days ago, Richard Painter, White House Ethics Advisor under George W. Bush, tweeted about Bolton. "John Bolton was the most dangerous man in eight years of Bush administration, and hiring him as a National Security Advisor is an invitation to war be prevented in any case. "

    Bolton has many enemies. With him there will be a shift to the right. US foreign policy may reorient itself among the man who was a proponent of the Iraq war. Years later, he defended the decision as right. And that his future boss congratulated Vladimir Putin on his electoral victory this week, Bolton said, "I do not think that's important either, I congratulated many people, it's a matter of courtesy," he says.
    Bolton will not win a popularity contest in Washington. But that does not matter to him. He is back where he wants to be: very close to power.
