Trump 2018 - Trump Foundation ordered to dissolve, Flynn Sentencing Delayed

[Louie_Cypher]

i think well will see the pace quicken they may even be drawing up terms for his resignation as I type with his foundation and money man being given immunity, and with new York state going he can't pardon state charges. my guess is he's family is next on the menu. he's surrounded himself with incompetent idiots.looks you don't scram your innocence into to twitter @1:00 am in the morning if you're clean. and people will go shit now we have to deal with pence, for his flaws and there are a lot. Pence is intelligent understands the office better less impulsive less malleable, and better controlled by our current system.

i wonder who the hookup matchmaker was for that, since roger stone is currently hiding under a rock

Stephen Miller would be my educated guess.

Re: John McCain - My grandmother told me, "If you have nothing nice to say about when I'm alive, don't praise me while I'm dead."

John McCain was a maverick in the sense that he went against the grain of Republican politicians, which means that he was only moderately awful instead of completely awful. I've seen a lot of folks call John McCain racist because he commonly referred to the Vietnamese people as "gooks." Okay - so we're calling him a racist based on the people who tortured him and not the policies he endorsed that disproportionately hurt multiple ethnicities? Okay. I've also seen people laud the clip of him on the campaign trail in 2008 - yes, the woman was using coded speak when she said "Arab" and meant "Terrorist," but McCain did the ABSOLUTE bare minimum to back her off of that, which again, is what you currently see from the Republican party around their backhanded endorsement of xenophobic attitudes and policies.

Yes, McCain was a war hero who endured things that many of us couldn't fathom enduring, and he should be honored for that always. As a human being, he seemed to get along well with many people who looked past his politics and appreciated him for the human being that he was. As a politician, McCain was at the forefront of helping shape the Republican party into what it is today, and his legacy should always be remembered as such. He was a problematic man who made friends with many people on capitol hill who made sure to view him in rose-tinted lenses, which was something he seemed to be 100% aware of and made sure to utilize even in passing. He could have and should have done more to live up to that title of maverick, but when you have a political party who exists to make the rich richer and wipe out the poor and struggling, then I guess the bar was already pretty low for him to earn that.

Now that is petty.

And cue someone being thrown under the bus, a miscommunication blamed, etc, and the flag being lowered again after everyone (rightfully) calls him out for how shitty that is.

@Lt. Randazzo , I think John McCain 's 08 run was his low point. He was a lot cooler around 2000. Check out the essay David Foster Wallace wrote about him for Rolling Stone, which appeared in Consider the Lobster.

I liked McCain because he worked with politicians from the other side of the aisle and advocated bipartisan endeavors.
That's how this country used to work and SHOULD work.
He was one of the last of a dying breed, one who wasn't part of this realpolitik, black and white tribalism bullshit. He also, back in the day, was a strong advocate of campaign finance reform, to the point of calling his colleagues "crooks" to their faces. I think he honestly served something bigger than himself and sincerely did what he thought was right (08 run aside.)

I don't think there are many people like that left.

Also, Trump supporters hate him, so he was doing SOMETHING right.

[marodi]

Trump is way too stupid to realise that his actions concerning McCain's death reflects badly on him. He is showing his true colors. But I am sure his supporters will defend him by saying that he's not an hypocrite; everybody knows he hated McCain.

If you are the freaking President, you have to act like it and put your pettiness aside.

I'm just going to say it: if McCain was a Democrat, I'd be willing to bet money that the flag wouldn't have gone back down again after his little pissy protest.

GOP senator: McCain is 'partially to blame' for controversy over White House flags

Oh, so now we're victim blaming? Slut shaming? Whatever else the kids call it today?

If McCain was a democrat, that flag wouldn't have gone down to begin with.

I know, it's Fox News, BUT this same story is being carried by a multitude of other media outlets and it originated with the Washington Post.

McCain was a warmonger who never saw an opportunity for US forces to bomb brown people that he didn't like. He was 100% bought & paid for by the defense industry his entire career. He consistently voted for the rich at every step to the detriment of the poor & middle class of this country. He allowed Sarah Palin to be his VP pick. He also voted against recognizing MLK day in Arizona multiple times throughout the 80's & 90's. I will not excuse these & other heinous acts just because he was a war hero (deservedly) & a gentleman in the Senate who occasionally did the right thing.

Slut shaming.
That's fucking priceless.

Trump is either spreading misinformation about Google search results which he views as unfavorable to him, or he's stupid

Also, this whole thing about media bias, coming on the heels of the revelation that the tabloids were in his pocket and doubling as a way to bury negative stories...

Signs of life (and hope) in the Florida Dem gubernatorial primary yesterday.

Can't it be both?

National Enquirer Had Decades of Trump Dirt. He Wanted to Buy It All.

A friend of a friend is trying to claim that whole McCain / flag business is 100% manufactured by a biased anti-Trump media, and that legally he did nothing wrong. He "proved" his point by showing that he flew the flag as long as he was required to.

So, I dropped a few stats about how long he flew the flag for a religious man who appealed to his base (well over a week) and high school / other mass shootings (average 4-5 days), and after several journalists were murdered (one day). Told him in no uncertain terms that he is, without question, using the flag lowering as a "fuck you" to people he either hates or wants his base to hate.

Said friend of friend still doesn't get it.

This is why I'm just so tired of trying to discuss things with people. I didn't even attack the guy. Didn't call him names. Didn't swear at him. Literally just countered his point with statistics of my own, followed by a reasoned analysis. And yet he's just spewing on about the liberal media. I hope I'm never so blindly in support of (or against) somebody that I can't see the obvious in front of me.

I'm reminded of something I heard once before, where someone said that those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and those who do learn from the past are doomed to watch helplessly as the world repeats it anyways.

Stupidity might be the happier way to go. Ignorance is bliss. Fuck it all, lets do coke.

llok i rarely do this but I'm done at the point of not even mentioning the word trump around known supporters. to the point where i rarely even speak about politics anymore. you can blame me of becoming complacent. so be it. look you are incapable of fact based logic look if you want to walk around with food in you teeth. your clothes on backward or toilet paper hanging of your person, enjoy i am trying as best I can to help you not look like a fool in public and if you going to call me names and try and get into an argument with. like is too short. look people enjoy all kinds of shit i think is dumb or repulsive whatever. maybe I'm the fool but bottom line. is trump is far too stupid and self unaware to get away with anything of this magnitude. so when this all comes crashing down and it will, i'm not going to sat "i told you so" or put it in your face. i'm going to kick back and smile sleep well knowing the system still works and and try and take comfort in that. something trump will never be able to do. has a good chance of loosing everything. and i'm OK with that. these things have a way of playing out. how's O'J. doing. there are bigger things to do in trying to fix our broken government. If you take a different perspective this whole thing keeps him in check from doing anything to crazy. and know that he's probably crazy with worry every day wondering when the other shoe is going to drop. and possibly lose all he holds dear his wealth family and mostly brand. and on that day the oly thing i may do is buy a round just cuz.

You knew this when you signed on so pardon me if I don't have a care for you or your future prospects.

And how is my day going?

So you can afford that sweet tax break for the rich but screw the COLA increases for people who actually work. Nice.
