I swear to to tell the thing that I made up and called the truth, the whole thing I made up and called the truth and nothing but something I made up and called the truth
As predicted , the ****nugget in chief has spent all morning tweeitng rants about conspiracy theories.
He's looking more desperate than ever. 😁😁

Rather than block him from Twitter, can’t we just block everyone from seeing his rants and ravings? a sort of ultimate ‘if we ignore him, he’ll just tire himself out/get bored and have a nap?’
Ignoring him from the start would have been the best approach, unfortunately nobody seems to be able to ignore him

yeah until he is out of the office and we are watching him in the dock it's better to keep an eye on him.
Much the same as ignoring a dog poo, if you're not paying attention you'll get it all over your shoe.

I can’t post the pic but if the information in the graphic is correct corruption and criminality in us government seems to be the norm rather than an aberration

Just seen an article on the BBC,

This bit caught my eye...
Mr Trump also asserted that he could, if he wanted to, intervene in the investigation, but added that he had chosen not to do so for now.
"I've decided to stay out. Now I don't have to stay out. I can go in, and I could do whatever - I could run it if I want. But I decided to stay out," he said.
"I'm totally allowed to be involved if I wanted to be. So far, I haven't chosen to be involved. I'll stay out."
That's pretty much all bollocks isn't it? if he can (i suspect he actually can't, but his followers aren't gonna check), why wouldn't he? Too many strippers to pay off at the moment, too many rounds of golf to play?
And the whole I'm not gonna testify because you'll do me for perjury. Only if you lie, or have lied, Donald. Only if you tell lies.

I think that would be cast iron obstruction.

Yeah, but then wouldn't there have to be another investigation (and endless twitter tirades) to prove it, all of which take time? not to mention give Don a chance to recruit more true believers against the Damn Gubmint?
“I’ve decided to stay out. Now I don’t have to stay out. I can go in, and I could do whatever – I could run it if I want. But I decided to stay out,” he said.
If Americans let this one carry on past November, then they have no-one to blame for the final lurch to autocracy. Everything else is falling into place, from military style policing, the lack of politically independent judiciary, and a congress and senate which, failing to hold the executive to account, is there simply for decoration and self-enrichment.
Yeah, but then wouldn’t there have to be another investigation
That one would probably go straight to congress/senate as an emergency issue - like Nixon firing AG's
He would also need to fire either Sessions or Rosenstein first which would start to get a lot of attention and push back
His rants are getting ever more bonkers.
The whole idea of a perjury 'trap' only works because he's a compulsive liar !
Wonder what the mannafort verdict will be? If it's not guilty Trump is going to go into overdrive claiming it as a vindication, almost want that to happen just to see how bonkers he'll go! Mannaforts facing at least 1 more trial already, so justice will catch up with him eventually.
But if manaforts guilty then Trump will go into another tweet rant frenzy.
The office of POTUS has become a circus
Cohen plea deal entered
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:
Michael Cohen 'strikes plea deal' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45265546
But as every good mobster will tell you accidents can happen....
phew - I was worried this thread might lose momentum 🙂
Also attempts by Russian Oligarcrchs to discredit Steele Dossier quashed by US judge
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45251255
And Mannafort jury have said there's one out of 18 charges they haven't reached a unanimous verdict on.....
Bad day for Trumpy!
Genuine LOL here
Agent Orange just gets more toxic:
Is it wrong that I’m reading these posts, but hearing music?

Is it this??
Crossed post, I meant the ones about him/his cronies getting shafted
Trump is at one of his KKK style recruitment rallies at the moment
hes gonna give himself an embolism ranting tonight!
5 of his campaign staff have now pled guilty & 1 found guilty & looking at 80 years!
& Cohen has said that he was told to violate campaign finance laws by............
is it the fat lady people can hear singing?
Crossed post, I meant the ones about him/his cronies getting shafted
I'm not into those kind of vulgar songs 🙂
apparently implicating Trump has reduced Cohen's prison time from 12 to 5 years
is it the fat lady people can hear singing?
Boy, can she belt out a tune!
Thought she died?
Rustling up a settlement to shut her up as we speak
so far today (only 7pm USA timme too) Cohen flips, Manafort found guilty, Russian oligarch case against Steele case thrown out
also of note that the 2nd republican congressman to endorse Trump back in 2015 has just been charged with ..... campaign fraud (the 1st one got done for insider trading 2 weeks ago)

the midterms are not going to be good for the republicans

Dont bet on it. There has been two years of people shouting fake news and don’t trust the FBI. In order to prepare for this moment the republicans have sowed such high levels of distrust their core votes won’t be swayed.
it would be really smart if it wasn’t horrific...
just look at Boris and the Bannon playbook.. If he plays it right he might still win elections...
I'm currently working in the states, the general opinion here (even amoung his detractors) is that he'll be a two-term president, as long as he can stay out of prison that long.
His core voters are dumb ****s who would believe the world was flat if trump declared it so, unless the democrats can muster up a decent candidate I fear he’ll get re-elected.

Democrats will not have any credible candidates that can (or willing to) compete head on with President Trump in the Presidency election. None. It will be foolish to do so.
Democrats only hope is to wish for a candidate that is good enough to compete after President Trump's two-term presidency. Even that depends on people willingness to give up what they have gained from President Trump's policy.

It it is not a presidency based on competence or results. It is based on sound bites and media manipulation. If he can “create” an enemy - China, Turkey, Iran people will accept a drop in lifestyle and benefits to “beat” them. Patriotism and all that... if he can invade somewhere even better...

He is a businessman unlike previous Presidents so I doubt he will initiate any full scale war.
He is a businessman unlike previous Presidents so I doubt He understands how international politics works.
you need to remember he is an international businessman who doesn’t understand how time zones work...
I still think (or hope) a small % of the people that voted for him, because they figured lets see what happens, not the hardcore, or those that voted for the minor candidates will switch. I also think there must be enough people out there that weren't really into politics and didn't vote the last time that must be disgusted with him and prepared to vote this time. Again, hopefully! Really, if you can vote and don't this time, there's something wrong with you.
Copied from @ddale on Twitter
“Trump says he would campaign more but is held back by the Secret Service, because there are so many Secret Service agents. He says he might make "a few trips without them." (.............)”
Oh please do, leave them at home next time you play golf at turnberry, I used to be a decent shot with my Barnett Diablo slingshot as a kid, despite that being 30 odd years ago I’m pretty confident I could still place a 8mm BB shot smack bang in the middle of your forehead from the dunes near the 4th tee
“Trump says he would campaign more but is held back by the Secret Service, because there are so many Secret Service agents. He says he might make “a few trips without them.” (………….)”
Well you dn't want secret service witnesses tagging along when you are holding secret meetings with your Russian masters.
