45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. (Vol 6)

[Byker28i]

Ah, trump will meet with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi whilst at Mar-a-Lago as he seeks a replacement attorney general.
She's an obvious choice for trump having already accepted a payoff.

Bondi received a $25,000 campaign donation in 2013 from the trump organisation as her office was looking into complaints from customers of Trump University, which was the subject of a class action lawsuit in New York. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee had requested the Justice Department to look into whether Trump paid off Bondi. She denied that the two actions were connected.

Michael Flynn’s probation officer filed his report today and the contents of that report are being kept under seal for now, but the key detail here is that the documentation does confirm that Flynn’s sentencing hearing is now 18th December. So whoever Flynn has testified against will be indicted before that?

Trump said:

"It’s called person of the year, right? It’s no longer man of the year, right? I don’t know, that’s up to Time Magazine,"

Well if you see that as an issue it's glaringly obvious that you're ill qualified for any sort of award, let alone this one.

Trump said:

"I can’t imagine anybody else other than Trump."

I don't doubt it but there are other people in the world, Donald.

Plus if you talk about yourself in the third person you're a narcissistic fool.

And if you have to nominate yourself you're already struggling.

Perhaps the mysterious John Barron could put his name forward...

They should make Khashoggi person of the year. I think this will run, as several senators and house representatives are unhappy at trumps position on this and the Washington Post won't let this go...

Trump has delivered his written answers to the Mueller Enquiry. Here are my guesses as to what these answers are -

Yes
Yes
Yes
No
Fake news
No
Lock her up
The biggest
Witch Hunt
You're fired

Is there any indication as to when Mueller will kick things off? Does he have to wait for the new Congress?

Edit: He also said that being president has cost him "a tremendous fortune like you've never seen."
Another big lie because the Washignton Post just reported that Trump properties made $4,200,000 from Republican campaigns during the midterms.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/polit...

Can you explain how that makes it a big lie? Without knowing the over all costs of what's been spent you don't know.

$4,200,000 sounds like a lot of money but its a tiny amount in terms of over all cost of running a large business and a president campaign.

[Byker28i]

Quite simply he lies all the time, including claiming he's not making money.
Trump makes money from trumps campain funds, from getting the government to pay into his companies.

From the article
"Trump, who began fundraising for his 2020 reelection on Inauguration Day, has spent heavily at Trump Organization properties through his campaign and two affiliated committees since Jan. 1, 2017. His campaign has paid $649,638 for rent at Trump Tower in New York. It paid $38,454 for stays at the Trump hotel in Washington. It spent $2,596 on “office supplies” from Trump Ice, a bottled-water company. "

Try reading the emoluments case brought against trump.
There are subpoenas filed more than a year ago with 23 Trump-related entities, including the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust, the Trump Organization, the Mar-a-Lago Club and entities related to his DC hotel.
A schedule of legal discovery is due on 23rd Nov at which point all his tax returns can and will be requested, along with all other returns and documents...

Interesting thats what you picked to defend trump on, considering everything else...

The DOJ are still fighting to get a citizenship status onto the 2020 census questionnaire.

Judge Furman has rejected trumps DOJ's TWELFTH motion to stay the census citizenship case, stating "What makes the motion most puzzling, if not sanctionable, is that they sought and were denied virtually the same relief only weeks ago — from this Court, from the Second Circuit, and from the Supreme Court itself."

I'm not arguing that Trump lies, but one of the biggest criticisms is the lies and misinformation. But this seems to be coming from both sides, like your post.

Your argument is he lied so he must be doing the same now. There is possibly a certain amount of logic with such argument but it isn't and shouldn't be how it works. Evidence and facts are needed to make such claims even if there is a record of dishonesty.

Just because Trump does it shouldn't make it a race to the bottom by everone doing the same.

Far from it - I provided evidence ot show why I considered he lied - not an opinion, how he funnels money into his companies, how the GOP have done the same, how rather than him losing money he's doing very nicely taking money

Oil prices getting lower. Great! Like a big Tax Cut for America and the World. Enjoy! $54, was just $82. Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower!


Hey murder a couple more opponents, as long as you drop the oil price further...
Also - Shale output has risen sharply over the past decade, pushing U.S. oil production to a record above 10 million barrels a day in 2018.
The Permian Basin in Texas is hugely responsible for that

The fact he is beholden and in the pocket of the likes of the Saudis and Putin is so transparent.

I missed this. Why would Ikanka start tweeting about mothers behind bars on the days it's reported again that she used private email...

Four out of five women behind bars are mothers.
When you incarcerate a woman you incarcerate her entire family.
Stand with us in calling on Congress to pass the #FirstStepAct and help restore dignity for incarcerated women.

Here's Obama volunteering at a food bank


Scott Dworkin
‏Barack Obama volunteered today at a food bank for Thanksgiving. Watch this video until the end, when he says how proud he is of the young girl for helping. Watch the genuine reaction. And the joy. And love. This is a real American President. Thanks, Obama.

What spurious argument.

By that token you could argue, when you imprison a man who is the family breadwinner, you imprison the whole family.
