The man just makes stuff up, and brags about it!
That's not really news is it though?, every time trump opens his mouth lies pour out.
Looking like H R McMaster to go next.
That’s not really news is it though?,
Its unusual for him to admit to it.
This is amazing- thanks Infowars
The real crazy, of course, is in the comments
So he fires the head of the FBI, 2 days before he as due to retire anyway, thus depriving him of a full pension. That seems a bit a shitty move.

It wasn't Trump. There was an internal discipline hearing and he was fired for being corrupt. Half a million bribe via is wife from Clinton, lying and leaking. If he doesn't end up in prison he'll have got off very lightly.

Bribe? She was a democrat running for office ... It's one way to spin it.
He was fired by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said an internal review found he leaked information and misled investigators
So fired by sessions, number 2 on the Russia collusion list. A man who lied under oath and had to remove himself from an investigation into himself. Not very transparent
The late Stephen Hawking on Donald Trump: "He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator."
Pretty much covers it.
Senior FBI man testifies to House Intelligence Committee that he can back up James Comey's testimony in what may yet be an obstruction of justice case. Sudden extra effort from Sessions to discredit that FBI man by shoving him out of the door and possibly stripping him of pension rights.
Seems tactically somewhat blatant and naive.
McCabe's statement here.

It worries me that folk will print and possibly believe such blatant lies
Sessions said the review found McCabe allegedly “made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor” during a review of the FBI and justice department’s handling of an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
The bribe claim is an outright lie, defamatory and something you could not uphold in a court of law. Its compete BS . With all the fringe right the only real question is whether they know they are liars or whether they are as stupid as believe what they type
Ironcialy the statement went on to say
all FBI employees know that lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity is our brand’”.
Sessions must be relieved he can hold people to a standard he cannot meet- I believe his defence was he did not lie he just made "false statements"
It worries me that folk will print and possibly believe such blatant lies
It is quite amazing.
The weird thing about all of this is that if the FBI influenced the election at all it was in Trumps favour.
true the clinton e-mail scenario is the single biggest impact they had on the result and he still got fired by Trump.

One word:
"collusion"
The lefties are pretty keen to throw about all sorts of extraordinary allegations of wrongdoing by other people, but when the worm turns and the truth comes back to bite them in the arse immediately cry "show us the proof" (see Jezza's defence of Russia this week as a prime example)
Donald's just proved it again, they don't like it up them.
YAWN
Remind me how many charges have been laid against people on the trump campaign? Did one of those people plead guilty? It appears more and more is coming true and being proved

You, jamba and 5th? You're not doing a very good job.

Like "President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim"? Or "Hillary Clinton is at the heart of a secret sex abuse/murder conspiracy based out of a Washington DC pizza restaurant"? That kind of extraordinary allegation? Or a different kind?
More collusion for ninfan:
Kind of pointless tweet. It's far above Mr Trump's reading age
A fascinating read in today's Guardian with more detail about the role of Cambridge Analytica and its harvesting of FB Data/Russian links. Also relevant to the Brexit vote, given the amount that Leave invested in its services.
The weaponising of social media in democracy.
The GOP railed against Obama and the national debt while he was in office, and how Trump would get it down through fiscal responsibility; funny how quiet they are about the national debt now...

It’s ok, his nanny will read it to him at bedtime.
Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal both claim unprotected sex with Trump at about the same time - STI checks, anyone? About 9 months after provable unprotected sex with Melania. As for Ivanka, who knows?
Trump claims he's a germaphobe? Yes, I know, bodily fluids don't transmit germs.
Can't wait for the vids of either or both.
Did Melania have the slightest clue about what she was getting into? Dumb? possibly; Naive? - probably.
Deceived? Yes. But soon to become v wealthy unless Don's 'wealth' evaporates.
It must have been a bit sticky for the orange faced buffoon.
Tillerson's assessment of Trump seems to be spot on.

Maybe they'll need to review the 'Do Not Push' note on his big nuclear button.
So American politics continues to be largely playground-based, with Trump now saying he could definitely take Joe Biden in a fight and make him cry!
Biden was quoted, at an anti-sexual assault rally, as saying:
"A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, 'I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it..
"They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said if we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'"
To which Trump's modern day presidential response, with all the dignity and gravitas befitting his office, was:

Pitysake!
I love the “go down fast and hard, crying” line.
There’s got to be a Stormy Daniels gag in there somewhere.
Whats in Stormy Daniels?
More from the Donald making sure his base are clearly identified by removing anyone who was wavering a bit, he will be left with all the really really mad ones
Donnie's a real tough guy - between tackling shooters unarmed, and flooring elderly former vice presidents (who should know better) 🙂
So thats his chief Lawyer quit then

Could we seeTrump try & fire Meuller over Easter?
Could we seeTrump try & fire Meuller over Easter?
Can he do that ?
In theory I think he can but both the Republicans and Democrats consider it a very unwise move.
A bit of searching because, you know, I'm not a top US lawyer. From vox.com
Mueller was appointed under a Justice Department regulation that sets restrictions on just how and why he can be fired.
<p id="iKdZW3">The how, in this case, is by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (since his boss Jeff Sessions recused himself). Rosenstein appointed Mueller, and according to the regulation, he’s the only person who can fire him.</p>
<p id="ESv0kU">Then there’s the why, which is also very important here. The regulation states that a special counsel can’t be fired on a whim. Instead, it says, he or she can only be fired for “misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause.”</p>
The stuff I have listened to comes up with it would take a determined hour or so to do it, he would have to get rid of Rosenstein and then keep firing until somebody would get rid of Muller. Other way is to fire Sessions and replace him as AG with a yes man - most likely Pruitt but and it's a big but there the new AG would need a confirmation hearing which needs Democrat votes to get through and would be very much tied to a vote protecting Muller.
The other line of thinking is taking the heat for firing Muller now is better than the implication of him facing any charges not as president. It was suggested that if he was to do something he needs to do it now to allow the Reps to recover somehow (impeachment) before November
Pitysake!
Yesterday I met someone who works at one of Trump's lovely Scottish resorts. When Mr T would visit (back before he had to pretend he'd severed all ties with the Trump Org.) there were standing orders to staff that 'if anyone tries to have a go at the Donald your job is to form a human shield'
We're not talking about someone working in Close Protection. She's a cleaner.
a Stormy Daniels gag
giggidy
I have to say. After a year of Trump, and this thread, I'm better qualified for a job in the HR dept of the Whitehouse than I was after the last 47 years-worth of observing presidents from 3246 miles away.
The trouble is The Donald has no adult supervision, so can get away with whatever he wants, especially as he’s been gifted the power to fire any adults selected to supervise him if he can’t get his way.
the implication of him facing any charges not as president
I've wondered about that. It does feel like various parties are sitting on a ton of allegations and evidence, waiting for the best time to reveal it. Everything Trump has ever done is been under a huge microscope for the last 18 months (and more)..... and this is DONALD TRUMP - a property developer in NY city in the 1980s.
It really doesn't feel like the Dem's are putting together a concerted effort to unseat him - maybe they are applying the old adage of "never interrupt your enemy whilst they are making a mistake"? Or maybe they just couldn't find their arse with both hands?
its a busy day
Well they do say a high staff turnover is indicative of a bad manager. It seems like there's a few senior people jumping ship or being sacked every week.

You can't score if you don't have the ball. They don't have enough votes unless the mid terms take a big swing (like the 20pt swing last week) best they can hope for is 2 years of pence with no majority. Can it happen?
The sheer level of panic and attacks on the judiciary say he is very worried, lots of people know what has gone down you can't pay them all off.
Japanese stocks down four percent.
Trump's hard-talk may end up crashing the stock market...or he could get the concessions he wants. He certainly likes to gamble. But this could be a gamble too far.
The average career in the Trump administration:
