August 5, 20187 yr 'Dangerous' is your word - he said 'influential'. I think he's made it clear what he means, whatever words he chooses to use, from what he says here and in the past, and how he says it, who he supports politically. Either that or he regards the Russian influence on American democracy as benign. But yes he said "influential" while listing actual numbers of Jewish people in America and not listing anything Russian oligarchs have been up to in the Presidential election, or Brexit referendum. By the way, here's a tweet and a half: "@JohnJHarwood “Trump has latched onto Giuliani’s talking point that ‘collusion is not a crime,’ believing it is catchy and brilliantly simplistic, according to people with knowledge of internal talks” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tru...7d54_story.html … David Frum It’s also a confession " PS it IS a crime, and Don Jr is up next in the Mueller probe (has publicly admitted to collusion and his father admitted involvement) Just saying I don't see any Jewish people helping foreign enemies to try and hijack democracy, but I do see a Farage supporting those who do.
August 6, 20187 yr Latest tweet from the Dictator-In-Training, assuming he passes his exams from the Vlad University Of Fake Blogging: "Donald J. Trump The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick! " Number 2 on the list of How To Become A Dictator exam notes....
August 7, 20187 yr Today's Trump tweet is to complain about environmentalists causing all those world-wide pesky fires by not cutting down trees. He wants to cut down trees to stop fires. I wish I was making this up..... That is how dangerously stupid this man is. He's like The Apocalypse born into one rich egotistical lying useless moronic human form. With hordes of morons willing to believe every lie, cos people love to be told things will get better, even if it's Satan himself whispering sweet nothings. Not that I'm calling Trump Satan, he's not smart enough.

Weeell historically speaking, in US history at least, it was the media, well press pressure, that forced the executive to declare war on Spain over Florida

August 8, 20187 yr Weeell historically speaking, in US history at least, it was the media, well press pressure, that forced the executive to declare war on Spain over Florida aaaand, historically speaking, in 99% of cases you get to be dictator by controlling the media first. Not all media is run by power-mad billionaires, but if you don't have an independent media you don't have democracy for very long. 242 years is the record so far in America. America didnt exactly run to enter either World War, and took ages to respond to press criticism of VietNam. They also weren't media-forced (which is more likely an excuse they can point to do something they wanted to do once it's become popular opinion) to annexe Hawaii, fight mexico, fight future-Canada, fight France, fight the UK, fight Iraq, fight Libya, fight North Korea, and so on... bit of a theme there...
August 8, 20187 yr Perhaps he could protect himself against assassination by shooting himself. He'd still blame Obama for that, even if had 20,000 witnesses to prove he wasn't guilty....!
August 8, 20187 yr He'd still blame Obama for that, even if had 20,000 witnesses to prove he wasn't guilty....! Very droll... :rolleyes:
August 14, 20186 yr The most respected American journalist alive on Donald Trump's mad desperate anti-FBI-it's-all-Hillary's-fault tweets, as one by one his comrades in corruption turn evidence against each other and the net closes in on him... "Dan Rather ...In other news, the Twitter feed of the President of the United States this morning was unhinged, undemocratic, a breach of decorum and sanity, with dog whistles of misogyny and racism... well I guess that really isn't news."
August 22, 20186 yr Can someone explain the latest stuff to me? I'm not sure about thr implications/ if it means much in the grand scheme
August 22, 20186 yr Yes one of the prosecutions doesnt matter as it's for corruption predating the election, but Trump's former lawyer has basically admitted his guilt on paying bribes on behalf of Trump to keep people quiet during the election. This and other stuff has meant he could go to prison for up to 80-odd years, but has done a plea for 5 years and a guilty verdict. The President Of the United States is guilty by implication of the confession of that same crime but can't be prosecuted while in office unless the Democrats win hugely in November and impeach him. failing that some equally corrupt Republicans protecting the unhinged immoral crook and serial liar at all costs need to have a change of heart. As the Mueller investigation digs deeper and deeper, despite the daily hysterical tweets from Guilty Trump about a witch hunt. It's already one of the most successful investigations into republican corruption (Democrats rarely end up in these sort of dealings because they generally have morals and standards) and it's just getting started as the initial convictions are quite low jail terms so they have bound to have co-operated as they build up the case into Trump more and more. So, Stormy Daniels was paid by Trump to silence her during the election which he may well have lost as a result of the news coming out and his lack of morals and willingness to commit illegal acts and lie to the public may have been just enough to put a few people off voting for him enough for Clinton to win. That's not including any potential impact the Russian hacking may have done. Which he called on them to commit an illegal act on Clinton during the campaign, and which he has done everything to protect the Russian government from sanctions and accused crimes at every cost. Almost as if he had motives to support Putin personally, one might speculate.

August 22, 20186 yr it doesn't look good for Trump. It's Trump's whole attitude that is alarming given the position he holds. How can he claim that what Cohen did was not a crime after he (a lawyer, so he should have some idea of what's going on) has pleaded guilty? How can he continue to claim that it is all a witch hunt given how many people have pleaded guilty so far? If a leader in a developing country behaved like this he would be denounced as a dangerous demagogue with the White House being at the he'd of the queue to do so.

If a leader in a developing country behaved like this he would be denounced as a dangerous demagogue with the White House being at the he'd of the queue to do so. It's his current preferred option: to appeal to be his rabid dumb fanbase, using them as a sort of "Project Revolution Fear" by lying, lying and lying some more to foolish people who want to believe the lies. It's really down to the voters now, those that havent been disenfranchised as part of their racist agenda (The republicans are doing their best to stop non-whites registering in areas where they could make all the difference). His only other option is to claim mental incapacity, there's certainly lots of evidence for that, and I could see a President Homophobe giving him a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card on those grounds, hoping to look good in comparison.
August 24, 20186 yr things moving fast now. Apparently a CEO of Trump's organisation has been given immunity in the current investigation into his lawyer. Oops! VP Pence looks to be under investigation for what he knew and lied about. Oops! Could be a double lock-up and a constitutional crisis hypothetically. Trump tweeting claiming white farmers in South Africa are being evicted by Black South Africans. Little bit racist unless it's true. It's not true, as far as I'm aware it's not Robert Mugabe at work....

I'm not sure it's safe to assume he even knows there is a difference. Pence's position is intriguing. If Trump is impeached for breaking the law in the election campaign, surely Pence's election was just as illegitimate.
August 25, 20186 yr You're assuming the orange thing knows the difference between Zimbabwe and South Africa. I'm not sure it's safe to assume he even knows there is a difference. less & less over time, though...
August 25, 20186 yr Where is this news r.e Pence? sorry it's gone off twitter, maybe it's been discredited or challenged, it was a less major news source. Pence has however been calling for the investigation to be called off for some months "for the good of the country", by which he means for the good of himself, just as it's getting into the juicy stuff. One reputable long-serving White House source reckons the Trump organisation immunity is to get the 3 Trump kids, rather than Trump. Jimmy Carter, who has never said anything bad about anyone, being a decent human being and devout Christian, has severely criticised Trump and his attitudes, and so-called Christians following his money-grabbing, un-Christian ideals. This is unheard of. trump meanwhile was tweeting about witch hunts at 1am, then again before 6am. Clearly unhinged, not sleeping and mentally unstable and getting worse as the probing gets nearer and more people confess their guilt. Elsewhere, someone posted a helpful photo of Trump's ex-mansion valued at 48 million, bought by a Russian Oligarch for 98 million, and then demolished. What a generous Russian Oligarch, giving away 98 million for a piece of land when cheaper pieces of land are undoubtedly available in the area. Funny that. Trump's business sales skills really must be immense.
August 27, 20186 yr As world leaders pay their respect to the late John McCain, the leader of his own country and his own party refuses an official statement on twitter, which he lives on. I loved this response from Tom Arnold, he of former Mr. Roseanne Barr: "I bet @realDonaldTrump learns to respect John McCain sometime during his first 5 1/2 years in prison "
