45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Vol 2
Discussion
I didn't watch Session's testimony live last night as I was out all evening. I've now watched some of it and it appears to me that he turned up to do three things -
i) read out a statement denying everything
ii) refuse to answer any direct questions
iii) not give any viable reasons why he was refusing to answer

And so it grows. Trump now being sued by Democrat members of Congress for violating the emoluments clause.
I guess he still owns a major shareholding in the Trump group of companies, so even if they are managed by his sons, he is making money from them.
He also gets regular briefing on his businesses from his sons, therefore not distancing himself from them (or the money)I guess he still owns a major shareholding in the Trump group of companies, so even if they are managed by his sons, he is making money from them.

Why is he called a conspiracy theorist but every other MSM journalists that seem to be obsessed with the Russian Conspiracy theory are never labeled as so? Oh yes he's on Trumps approved press list!

Saying Sandy Hook didn't happen is another level of mental and disgusting.
As opposed to people claiming dead children are fake, which doesn't have multiple formal investigations.

Eric, I hope you are not comparing Trump to Canute - surely you know the backstory to Canute demonstrating his inability to stop the waves. There's a reason he is regarded as "Great" - he was one of the wisest and most successful Kings of his period.
No, he was a foreign invader who gained the kingdom by bloodshed, defeating and murdering the English king. Not sure any parallels can be drawn with Trump.Ayahuasca said:

87% of the residents voted for Trump. He won bigly.I am sure I will be shot down but to me this is now laughable. Those after Trump were sure Comey was going to nail him, he didn't. Then Sessions would be forced to spill the beans, he didn't and now we have special prosecutor investigating "possible" obstruction of justice.
And they are still banging on about how Russia were the ones who put him in power. Funny I thought it was the people who got up and went and voted in their election wards who did that.
Russia may have helped post "fake" news but there seemed just as much from other sources that was anti Trump and it just rolls on.
It just seems some peoples idea of democracy and mine seem to be at odds, if the system you have had for years delivers a result then that is it.
Trump told the people what he was going to do, they voted for him under their system and now others are doing everything they can to undermine him and the office. How is that democracy?

I think it's too soon to be saying that nothing will come of Comey, or Sessions, or the obstruction of justice stuff.
But even if it doesn't, that a sitting President is so mired in controversy should be of concern.
It's been categorically stated that Russia interfered with the election, the only doubt is over whether Trump knew or was involved. If he wasn't, his business dealings with Russia and his staffs dealings with Russia look suspect.
Then there's the fact that he hasn't removed himself from his businesses and is potentially using his position to benefit financially. I'm sure the books at Mar a Lago are looking pretty good right now.
Ultimately though I guess he'll just grab all the democrats by the pussy, and they'll let him, because you know, he's Trump.
