Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

its cool to. ask the thread who violent jaxx is its just rude to ask violent jaxx

yeah, how is this not jail-worthy exactly?

"Trump made separate appeals to the director of national intelligence, Daniel Coats, and to Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election."

but I'll be surprised if *nobody* goes to jail for this

yes, because rich white collar criminals have such a rich history of getting actual jail time

Wouldn't want to be in Flynn's shoes right now. But I have an ominous feeling the "Russia thing" is not actually going to sink Trump. Is there going to be any evidence of obstruction of justice apart from one-on-one conversations that Trump can deny? As for collusion, why would the Russians be so dumb, they didn't need to collude to give Trump a helping hand. The investigation will pull up some stuff but nothing directly linked to Trump personally, and it won't be enough to force him out, is my feeling

Unless the pee tape is real, then all bets are off

He can't easily deny things he admitted to on national television.

dunno, seems to come pretty easily to him

This is a political issue now not a legal one. He obstructed justice, whether or not he is guilty of "collusion." There is enough there for impeachment but the Republicans won't assent to it.. yet

He obstructed justice, but you've got to prove it. Will one-on-one conversations stand up legally when one side denies? Even on television, what's he admitted to? That when he was deciding to fire Comey, he was thinking that the Russia thing was made up. Pretty damning, but the link between the two remains implicit rather than explicit in what he says. He never said outright I fired Comey because of Russia. That leaves legal wiggle room I'd have thought

if there's one thing Trump is known for, it's being able to make controversy go away swiftly with smooth talk and southern charm.

So he's down in the seventies with Republicans now, I heard?

what kind of animal would he have to fuck to dip into the 50s

Jeb Bush

He said animal, not vegetable or mineral, yuk yuk

please fap

hen clap

Is there going to be any evidence of obstruction of justice apart from one-on-one conversations that Trump can deny?

When it is discovered that Trump has ordered that all tapes be destroyed of his conversations with various officials, during which conversations he is specifically alleged to have suborned obstruction of justice, then we will have solid evidence of obstruction of justice, because such an order destroying evidence would be illegal in itself.

Are there any tapes though? The last thing on earth that we should take at face value is a Trump tweet. With the White House leaking like a sieve, I'd have thought we'd have had some more info by now about any tapes if they really existed.

if there's anybody that will know of the existence of secret White House tapes, it's ILE

He can't easily deny things he admitted to on national television.

One day, Donald Trump is going to look a reporter straight in the eyes on national TV and say "I never ran for President."

My parents saw Jeb! at the grocery store on Saturday; he'd lost a lot of weight.

Please shop

Impeachments are always political first.

Did he seriously call the Manchester bomber(s) "evil losers?"

yeah

yeah he did

“We stand in absolute solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom,” Trump said. “So many young beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life.

“I won’t call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that’s a great name. I will call them, from now on, losers, because that’s what they are. They are losers. And we will have more of them. But they are losers, just remember that.

“Our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed, we cannot stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people. And in today’s attack it was mostly innocent children. The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society for ever.

“This wicked ideology must be obliterated – and I mean completely obliterated – and the innocent life must be protected. All civilised nations must join together to protect human life and the sacred right our citizens to live in safety and in peace.”

PRESIDENTIAL

saw someone on twitter say that he misread "evildoers" as "evil losers" but who even knows anymore

funny how the phrase 'radical islamic terror' did not escape his lips, tho

that seems like the kindest interpretation possible xp

i mean, he's not wrong about them being losers but of course Trump would frame it that way because that's how he views the entire universe.

"Until we start calling them what they are "radical islamic jerkbabies" we're never going to win"

nice linguistic kill shot

What can I say, it takes one to know one.

Kind of surprised he hasn't suggested making a deal with them.

i dunno how you could reasonably frame attackers who achieved their presumable goal of killing people and spreading fear as 'losers' in anything but the most existential of senses but whatever

Trump taking aim at them where it hurts: their self esteem.

losers = any people unable to make deals in the world of trading. You know, arms, etc.

The idea being, maybe, if you trade in arms with someone, then they won't shoot you.

The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society for ever.

*coughsaudiarabiacough*

yeah this is kinda awkward timing huh

losers = any people unable to make deals in the world of trading

these guys built their own bombs, i'm surprised he's not offering them accolades on their self-starting attitude and innovative spirit
