Why is no one looking at the trump crime family like some are with bidens????? Seems to me the only talent the boys have is the trump name and money......anyone think they would hire one of these losers if daddy was not trump??????? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Their corruption is staggering!!!!
Last month, the Trump family business received approval from a local government in Scotland for a major expansion of its golf resort near Aberdeen, marking the largest real estate development financed by the Trump Organization since the 2016 election.
In August, President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr., flew to Jakarta to help kick-start sales at a pair of Trump-branded luxury resorts planned for Indonesia. He appeared at a private event with wealthy prospective buyers and joined his politically connected billionaire Indonesian business partner at a news conference.
And last year, Donald Jr. visited India to sell condos at future Trump-branded towers, appearing at an event that also featured India’s prime minister.
“I’m here as a businessman,” Mr. Trump told the gathering in New Delhi. “I’m not representing anyone.”
Hundreds of ISIS Supporters Escape October 13, 2019 at 8:42 am EDT
Syrian Kurdish officials said clashes near Ain Eissa, a key Kurdish-held town in northern Syria, allowed 950 Islamic State supporters to escape from a camp for displaced people near a U.S.-led coalition base, the AP reports.
Cockpit Tapes Confirm Russia’s Role In Airstrikes October 13, 2019 at 8:22 am EDT
“The Russian Air Force has repeatedly bombed hospitals in Syria in order to crush the last pockets of resistance to President Bashar al-Assad,” according to an investigation by the New York Times.
“An analysis of previously unpublished Russian Air Force radio recordings, plane spotter logs and witness accounts allowed The Times to trace bombings of four hospitals in just 12 hours in May and tie Russian pilots to each one.”
“The 12-hour period beginning on May 5 represents a small slice of the air war in Syria, but it is a microcosm of Russia’s four-year military intervention in Syria’s civil war. A new front in the conflict opened this week, when Turkish forces crossed the border as part of a campaign against a Kurdish-led militia.”
President Trump threatened on Saturday night to sue top congressional Democrats Rep. Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi amid the House impeachment inquiry into the President, CNN reports.
Said Trump: “We’re going to take a look at it. We’re going after these people. These are bad, bad people.”
ONE OF THOSE BAD, BAD PEOPLE SAYS--
“Just impeaching Trump for his bad behavior isn’t worth it. But, if he challenges our system of checks and balances as he is doing, if he undermines our democracy, our electoral system, as he is doing, if he undermines his own oath of office as he is doing, it is a challenge to our Constitution.” — Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with the New Yorker.
Envoy Will Testify The ‘No Quid Pro’ Claim Came from Trump and He May Have Been Lying
“The U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, intends to tell Congress this week that the content of a text message he wrote denying a quid pro quo with Ukraine was relayed to him directly by President Trump in a phone call,” the Washington Post reports.
“Sondland plans to tell lawmakers he has no knowledge of whether the president was telling him the truth at that moment.”
Said a person familiar with Sondland’s testimony: “It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth.”
“Sondland will hold out the possibility that Trump wasn’t truthful in his denial of a quid pro quo as well as an alternative scenario in which the president’s interest in the scheme soured.”
Trump Derangement Syndrome with its frenzied marches, its primal screams, its ban campaigns, its ritual demonstrations of contempt, its inchoate horror and hatred, is very much a moral crusade. The folks behind the scenes may be the same, but, aside from the same paid activists, the culture war draws on a different set of foot soldiers, the suburban lefty housewives whose hostility is conservative.
Or, if you prefer, reactionary.
Trump upsets them because he upends their status quo. He insults their totems, mocks their gods, and trifles with the sacred beliefs they imbibed from their semesters at Sarah Lawrence, their seasons of Netflix, and everyone else living in the literal and figurative cul-de-sac of their suburban neighborhood: its impossible property taxes adjusted to keep unwelcome minorities from nearby cities to a minimum.
MAGA hats, deliberately loud and unfashionable, infuriate them as the banner of an enemy tribe.
Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t just about hating Trump. It’s a visceral disgust with the sorts of people they imagine would vote for him. And a horror at the idea of sharing a state or country with them. Ideological leftism may occasionally punch up, but cultural leftism always punches down.
It’s class warfare in a pure, unfiltered form, practiced by people wearing ironic and unironic Che t-shirts.
The Trump era has gifted us an infinity of media lectures on the “threat to democracy”. And the conclusion is always that democracy poses a threat to democracy. All this deep thinking, its assorted conspiracy theories about lurking Russian bots on Facebook, is a convoluted way of getting at the idea that the real problem with our political system is that people outside the lefty cultural bubble can vote.
You know, people who actually believe in G-d, who own guns, and like their independence. Americans.
Our political system is built to be shared with people we disagree with. As ugly as things get, the system is designed to bear the load. It’s why we have checks and balances, the electoral college, filibusters, and a complicated system of electing people who are different and will be sure to disagree with each other.
The Founding Fathers made sure we had real diversity in our government long before that became a buzzword for leftist conformists whose idea of diversity is three races, a hundred ethnicities, forty religions, sixty genders, and one political opinion.
We aren’t facing a civil war because of the strain on our political system, but on the tribes of our culture.
Free nations where people elect their leaders don’t fall apart because of political differences, unless they reflect deeper cultural divisions. That’s why the Left made winning the culture war its priority.
The Founders didn’t create a system for coping with cultural differences. We had one or we didn’t. While the Left claims to war on intolerance, no political system can do that. Only a moral system can. Our values can bring us together or tear us apart. They can convince us to fight for each other or kill each other. They can remind us of what we have in common or make us deadly enemies.
These days, it’s mostly the latter.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is an expression of a cultural civil war whose roots are deeper than the antics of the last few years. It is the friction of a country fracturing into warring alien tribes. We no longer agree on the essential premises of our Union, what makes one an American, on the essential premises of morality, what is human life, what is murder, and on what our future should look like.
We no longer members of the same tribe, the same system or the same nation.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is how cultural lefties react to the revelation that the other tribe, with its accents, its clothes, its horrible beliefs, is temporarily in charge of the country. It’s no different than the Hutus and the Tutsis. It is an unthinking xenophobia in reaction to the otherness of the outsider.
It isn’t political. It’s the outcome of politics becoming culture, religion and tribal identity. It’s a politics that goes deeper than issues or arguments, CNN or MSNBC, but defines how we live and who we are.
Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t just a reaction to President Trump. It’s a reaction to America.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Dealing with @LindseyGrahamSC and many members of Congress, including Democrats, about imposing powerful Sanctions on Turkey. Treasury is ready to go, additional legislation may be sought. There is great consensus on this. Turkey has asked that it not be done. Stay tuned!
The “deep state”—if we are to use the term—is better defined as consisting of career civil servants, who have growing power in the administrative state but work in the shadows. As government grows, so do the challenges of supervising a bureaucracy swelling in both size and power. Emboldened by employment rules that make it all but impossible to fire career employees, this internal civil “resistance” has proved willing to take ever more outrageous actions against the president and his policies, using the tools of both traditional and social media.
Government-employed resisters received a call to action within weeks of the new administration. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates became acting attorney general on Mr. Trump’s inauguration and Loretta Lynch’s resignation. A week later, the president signed an executive order restricting travel from seven Middle Eastern and African countries. Ms. Yates instructed Justice Department lawyers not to defend the order in court on the grounds that she was not convinced it was “consistent” with the department’s “responsibilities” or even “lawful.” She decreed: “For as long as I am Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order.”
Mr. Trump fired her that day, but he shouldn’t have had to. Her obligation was to defend the executive order, or to resign if she felt she couldn’t. Nobody elected Sally Yates.
The Yates memo was the first official act of the internal resistance—not only a precedent but a rallying cry. Subordinates fawningly praised her in emails obtained by Judicial Watch. “You are my new hero,” wrote one federal prosecutor. Another department colleague emailed: “Thank you AG Yates. I’ve been in civil/appellate for 30 years and have never seen an administration with such contempt for democratic values and the rule of law.” Andrew Weissmann—a career department lawyer, then head of the Criminal Fraud Division and later on the staff of special counsel Robert Mueller—wrote: “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much.” Ms. Yates set an example to rebels throughout the government: If she can defy the president, why can’t I?
That mentality fed the stream of leaks that has flowed ever since.
The poll released last week by Fox News that claimed most Americans favor the impeachment of President Trump underrepresented Republican and independent voters, The Post has found.
The poll said 51% of voters were in favor of Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, while 40% did not want him impeached.
Princeton, New Jersey, pollster Braun Research, which conducted the survey, noted 48% of its respondents were Democrats. But the actual breakdown of party-affiliation is 31% Democrat, 29% Republican and 38% independent, according to Gallup.
A poll weighted for party affiliation would have concluded that 44.9% favored impeachment and 44.4% opposed it, a Post analysis has concluded.
The poll prompted Trump to tweet: “Whoever [Fox News’] Pollster is, they suck.”
So he is going testify under oath that he has no knowledge of anything what-so-ever.
Strong witness! _______
Sorry, Rat, sorry, Ch, but he is going to make it clear that his quote that your side jumped on earlier with such glee was not intended to mean what you wanted it to mean.
Important witness. Important clarification. One that you can't spin your way out of.
Donna Millbank,opinion piece, Washington Post President Trump has proved to the 21st century that Lord Acton’s 19th-century maxim still holds: Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Trump began staking his title to absolute power in his first weeks in office. “The whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned,” White House adviser Stephen Miller announced. He wasn’t kidding.
Trump soon stated that “I have the absolute right” to fire FBI Director James Comey. He subsequently proclaimed the “absolute right” to provide Russia with an ally’s highly classified intelligence; the “absolute right” to pardon himself; the “absolute right” to shut down the southern border; the “absolute right” to fire special counsel Robert Mueller; the “absolute right” to sign an executive order removing the Constitution’s birthright-citizenship provision; the “absolute right” to contrive a national emergency to deny Congress the power of the purse; the “absolute right” to order U.S. businesses out of China; the “absolute right” to release apparent spy-satellite imagery of Iran; and, most recently, the “absolute right” to ask other countries to furnish evidence that Joe Biden is corrupt. ____________
Fortunately, we have the absolute right to pitch him out of office on his ear.
The witness who will openly admit that he has no knowledge of any "quid pro quo" is going to go on the stand and say what exactly?
That he still has no knowledge of "quid pro quo" but that the President (or someone) told him to tell the truth to those regards?
You do understand, James.
From a legal standpoint. The only thing that matters is that this person has no knowledge of any quid pro quo. There is no indication that he will testify anything differently.
His "OPINION" is legally unrelated to this... as I am sure the Chief Justice will let everyone know if the Democrats attempt to call him as a witness to say....
"No, I have no knowledge of quid pro quo - but I think the President might have done so"?
Imagine a man on trial for murder.
Someone who was not a witness. Has very little first hand knowledge of anything. Does not know the suspect personally to any real degree Is allowed on the stand to suggest that the person in question might have committed the murder even though he has made the statement that he has no knowledge and cannot repute his own statement?
That's what's called a Kangaroo Court.
The Chief Justice will never allow such nonsense in a Senate Trial.
Good thing you have the fake Kangaroo Court who is too scared of people knowing the truth that they refuse to actually vote to authorize their hearings and are doing everything behind closed doors!
The Chief Justice will never allow such nonsense in a Senate Trial.
yup.
but what's important (and what some liberals would admit privately but never publicly) is that the only court that matters in this whole fiasco is the court of public opinion.
this is not a serious effort to impeach this president. if it were protocols, rules and traditions would be followed.
what this is is a last ditch effort to irreparably smear the man enough to turn public sentiment against him in the hopes of making him unelectable.
it's the democrats last arrow in their quiver and they know it. hence the secrecy and the leaks and the lies and all the rest of the shoddy behavior. and why they put such an insufferable piece of schitt as adam schiff in charge of it all.
So sad you dumb fucks now think the US court system is equivalent to the banana republics......Trump calls the non trial, non criminal proceedings a court.....so sad even Lil Scotty doesn't know that!!!! The proceedings are like a grand jury....closed and not subject to defense......the senate trial has all that shit....thats the way it works and being called unconstitutional by the morons like you rat and Lil Scotty.....are just that ........WORTHLESS OPINIONS......don't like it move to russia since you apparently like that system better than here!!!!!
Trump Orders Full Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from Syria October 13, 2019 at 11:27 am EDT
“President Trump has ordered a withdrawal of U.S. forces from northern Syria in the face of a Turkish military offensive targeting Kurdish fighters in the region, two days after he promised that the United States was not ‘abandoning’ its partners in the campaign against the Islamic State,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump ordered a withdrawal of the about 1,000 U.S. troops left in northern Syria late Saturday. The president made the decision after indications that Turkey intends to expand its attack ‘farther south than originally planned and to the west.'” __________
Trump totally miscalculated on this, mainly because he talked to the Turkish dictator on the phone -- not to his advisers or to the Pentagon, and thought he could give a little on it and then later pull one of his little switcheroos and keep it from being so bad.
It is turning out to the horrendously bad.
Just ask the furious Pentagon. Just ask the generals, those who feel free to speak.
“Look in the mirror and figure out how you want to be remembered later and how you feel about yourself today.” — Former Gov. John Kasich, in a CNN interview, giving advice to fellow Republicans in Congress.
but what's important (and what some liberals would admit privately but never publicly) is that the only court that matters in this whole fiasco is the court of public opinion.
If that's what they are counting on, they're already losing. The people are smart enough to smell a rat. And secret testimony from people skulking in the shadows stinks to high heaven.
It will stink even more to high heaven as it is made more and more public, with plenty of opportunities for Trump and his ilk to face and respond to it.
Too bad he couldn't tell Trump how to win in the Middle East.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Since you and trump are the smartest people in the room.....you think donnie takes advice from anyone but himself????????? Matis really kept his mouth under control and said nothing that would offend the CIC even though he quit because of him!!!!! A good loyal marine who leaves politics to idiots like you cramps.....
Just pointing out that the generals have no idea what the exit strategy is suppose to be in the Middle East and neither do the senators and liberal journalist who are doing their sacks and cloth routine over the Kurds.
It's seems obvious however, Trump is getting tired of seeing the bodies of brave servicemen coming home to Dover.
Hey cramps.......there were virtually no US casualties when allied with the kurds.....giving up on them has completely ruined what little reputation the US has left by being untrustworthy and walking out....There will never be an exit strategy as long as the mid east is on fire...the only hope is to keep them separated and not invading others......With ISIS now escaping prisons and their families following, do you think the world is a safer place or will attacks start again against soft US targets in the world???? Funny how you now think Graham is doing a "sacks and cloth" routine ....whatever that means......asshole... Also amusing how you feel trump deserves 10000% fealty from all.....just like the king he thinks he is!!!!
COMMENSA: It's(sic) seems obvious however, Trump is getting tired of seeing the bodies of brave servicemen coming home to Dover.
JAMES: What is becoming even more obvious is that Trump cares for nothing and nobody other than his own insancely distorted idea of what he thinks will help himself.
No one has trusted the US since we cut and ran SE Asia.
Paula again blowing it out his old white stupid ass.....Opinions like yours are why we have trump you dumb fuck.....We have no interests in leading the world as evidence by fucking an ally better than trump has fucked you!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAA!!!

I’ve been in civil/appellate for 30 years and have never seen an administration with such contempt for democratic values and the rule of law.” Andrew Weissmann—a career department lawyer, then head of the Criminal Fraud Division and later on the staff of special counsel Robert Mueller—wrote: “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much.” Ms. Yates set an example to rebels throughout the government: If she can defy the president, why can’t I?
That mentality fed the stream of leaks that has flowed ever since.

Thank you, Mr. President In Name Only.
How nice of you to try now to reverse the great and stupid harm you have done.
Stay tuned for your next idiocy?
Sure.
The poll released last week by Fox News that claimed most Americans favor the impeachment of President Trump underrepresented Republican and independent voters, The Post has found.
The poll said 51% of voters were in favor of Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, while 40% did not want him impeached.
Princeton, New Jersey, pollster Braun Research, which conducted the survey, noted 48% of its respondents were Democrats. But the actual breakdown of party-affiliation is 31% Democrat, 29% Republican and 38% independent, according to Gallup.
A poll weighted for party affiliation would have concluded that 44.9% favored impeachment and 44.4% opposed it, a Post analysis has concluded.
The poll prompted Trump to tweet: “Whoever [Fox News’] Pollster is, they suck.”

So he is going testify under oath that he has no knowledge of anything what-so-ever.
Strong witness!

Sorry, Rat, sorry, Ch, but he is going to make it clear that his quote that your side jumped on earlier with such glee was not intended to mean what you wanted it to mean.
Important witness.
Important clarification.
One that you can't spin your way out of.
Donna Millbank,opinion piece, Washington Post
President Trump has proved to the 21st century that Lord Acton’s 19th-century maxim still holds: Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Trump began staking his title to absolute power in his first weeks in office. “The whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned,” White House adviser Stephen Miller announced. He wasn’t kidding.
Trump soon stated that “I have the absolute right” to fire FBI Director James Comey. He subsequently proclaimed the “absolute right” to provide Russia with an ally’s highly classified intelligence; the “absolute right” to pardon himself; the “absolute right” to shut down the southern border; the “absolute right” to fire special counsel Robert Mueller; the “absolute right” to sign an executive order removing the Constitution’s birthright-citizenship provision; the “absolute right” to contrive a national emergency to deny Congress the power of the purse; the “absolute right” to order U.S. businesses out of China; the “absolute right” to release apparent spy-satellite imagery of Iran; and, most recently, the “absolute right” to ask other countries to furnish evidence that Joe Biden is corrupt.

Fortunately, we have the absolute right to pitch him out of office on his ear.
So James...
The witness who will openly admit that he has no knowledge of any "quid pro quo" is going to go on the stand and say what exactly?
That he still has no knowledge of "quid pro quo" but that the President (or someone) told him to tell the truth to those regards?
You do understand, James.
From a legal standpoint. The only thing that matters is that this person has no knowledge of any quid pro quo. There is no indication that he will testify anything differently.
His "OPINION" is legally unrelated to this... as I am sure the Chief Justice will let everyone know if the Democrats attempt to call him as a witness to say....
"No, I have no knowledge of quid pro quo - but I think the President might have done so"?
Imagine a man on trial for murder.
Someone who was not a witness.
Has very little first hand knowledge of anything.
Does not know the suspect personally to any real degree
Is allowed on the stand to suggest that the person in question might have committed the murder even though he has made the statement that he has no knowledge and cannot repute his own statement?
That's what's called a Kangaroo Court.
The Chief Justice will never allow such nonsense in a Senate Trial.
Good thing you have the fake Kangaroo Court who is too scared of people knowing the truth that they refuse to actually vote to authorize their hearings and are doing everything behind closed doors!
That's what's called a Kangaroo Court.
The Chief Justice will never allow such nonsense in a Senate Trial.
yup.
but what's important (and what some liberals would admit privately but never publicly) is that the only court that matters in this whole fiasco is the court of public opinion.
this is not a serious effort to impeach this president. if it were protocols, rules and traditions would be followed.
what this is is a last ditch effort to irreparably smear the man enough to turn public sentiment against him in the hopes of making him unelectable.
it's the democrats last arrow in their quiver and they know it. hence the secrecy and the leaks and the lies and all the rest of the shoddy behavior. and why they put such an insufferable piece of schitt as adam schiff in charge of it all.
That's what's called a Kangaroo Court.
So sad you dumb fucks now think the US court system is equivalent to the banana republics......Trump calls the non trial, non criminal proceedings a court.....so sad even Lil Scotty doesn't know that!!!! The proceedings are like a grand jury....closed and not subject to defense......the senate trial has all that shit....thats the way it works and being called unconstitutional by the morons like you rat and Lil Scotty.....are just that ........WORTHLESS OPINIONS......don't like it move to russia since you apparently like that system better than here!!!!!
Trump Orders Full Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from Syria
October 13, 2019 at 11:27 am EDT
“President Trump has ordered a withdrawal of U.S. forces from northern Syria in the face of a Turkish military offensive targeting Kurdish fighters in the region, two days after he promised that the United States was not ‘abandoning’ its partners in the campaign against the Islamic State,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump ordered a withdrawal of the about 1,000 U.S. troops left in northern Syria late Saturday. The president made the decision after indications that Turkey intends to expand its attack ‘farther south than originally planned and to the west.'”
__________
Trump totally miscalculated on this, mainly because he talked to the Turkish dictator on the phone -- not to his advisers or to the Pentagon, and thought he could give a little on it and then later pull one of his little switcheroos and keep it from being so bad.
It is turning out to the horrendously bad.
Just ask the furious Pentagon. Just ask the generals, those who feel free to speak.
“Look in the mirror and figure out how you want to be remembered later and how you feel about yourself today.”
— Former Gov. John Kasich, in a CNN interview, giving advice to fellow Republicans in Congress.
but what's important (and what some liberals would admit privately but never publicly) is that the only court that matters in this whole fiasco is the court of public opinion.
If that's what they are counting on, they're already losing. The people are smart enough to smell a rat. And secret testimony from people skulking in the shadows stinks to high heaven.
It will stink even more to high heaven as it is made more and more public, with plenty of opportunities for Trump and his ilk to face and respond to it.
What opportunities? The whole strategy is to keep Trump from defending himself and let the public know the truth.
It it was truly damning they would have it on CSPAN 24/7.
That they don't tells me they have no legitimate reason to impeach him.
EXCELLENT Meet the Press interview with General Mattis.
Kasich will be remembered as a sore loser who hated the fact that his wimpy middle of the road type of politics didn't resonate with anyone.
Most of the reason he became such a HUGE loser is because of his sanctimonious attitudes towards those who don't follow him.
Kasich is just James Comey with a Midwest accent.
EXCELLENT Meet the Press interview with General Mattis.
A great and honorable general. Too bad he couldn't tell Trump how to win in the Middle East.
Too bad he couldn't tell Trump how to win in the Middle East.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Since you and trump are the smartest people in the room.....you think donnie takes advice from anyone but himself????????? Matis really kept his mouth under control and said nothing that would offend the CIC even though he quit because of him!!!!! A good loyal marine who leaves politics to idiots like you cramps.....
Just pointing out that the generals have no idea what the exit strategy is suppose to be in the Middle East and neither do the senators and liberal journalist who are doing their sacks and cloth routine over the Kurds.
It's seems obvious however, Trump is getting tired of seeing the bodies of brave servicemen coming home to Dover.
It's seems obvious however,,,,,
Hey cramps.......there were virtually no US casualties when allied with the kurds.....giving up on them has completely ruined what little reputation the US has left by being untrustworthy and walking out....There will never be an exit strategy as long as the mid east is on fire...the only hope is to keep them separated and not invading others......With ISIS now escaping prisons and their families following, do you think the world is a safer place or will attacks start again against soft US targets in the world???? Funny how you now think Graham is doing a "sacks and cloth" routine ....whatever that means......asshole... Also amusing how you feel trump deserves 10000% fealty from all.....just like the king he thinks he is!!!!
COMMENSA:
It's(sic) seems obvious however, Trump is getting tired of seeing the bodies of brave servicemen coming home to Dover.
JAMES:
What is becoming even more obvious is that Trump cares for nothing and nobody other than his own insancely distorted idea of what he thinks will help himself.
Fuck both of you. No one has trusted the US since we cut and ran SE Asia.
We have no interests in Syria this is just shitpile left by the prior administration
No one has trusted the US since we cut and ran SE Asia.

We have no interests in leading the world as evidence by fucking an ally
