US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

I would say thats as believable as his gun control proposals

yeah the motherfucker sure says a lot of things, what a thing-sayer

sorry dems!

right but none of the POC who are in jail for w33d related crimes will be pardoned so JS can still hsve his way also some billionaire probably wants to open a weed farm in NoVA

The Jack Johnson and possible Ali pardons are so bizarre, I never would have guessed his involvement with boxing got to the level of actually knowing the name of any boxers.

He should pardon DB Cooper and the real killers of JFK just to see if they come out of hiding

trump brand hash oils

Ibongka

btw I know he's incredibly unlikely to do anything because he answers "we're considering that...we'll see..." to literally everything but it's all about ~*messaging*~ at this point, just think of how difficult it was to kill off that "most pro LGBTQ president ever" thing

BREAKING Paul Manafort charged with additional counts of witness tampering and obstruction of justice, that is intimidation or force against a witness. Earlier: https://t.co/1ZFYv58Clq pic.twitter.com/SU6U50mZy7

Can we all please start chanting "Lock him up!"? Or would that be too derivative and lowbrow?

my god wont you please think of the decorum

The Left Can't Scream

so Manafort just got indicted for the 37th time

Putin must be laughing his ass off at how this is all playing out

In Russia ass laughs YOU off

c'mon, Shakes, we waited for you to say something about Kraut.

irl lol shakey

The expanded full quote is just ...

“I have been Russia’s worst nightmare,” Trump said. “If Hillary got in I think Putin is probably going ‘man I wish Hillary won,’ because you see what I do. But, with that being said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?”

The president added: “It may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run. And in the G7, which used to be the G8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

My feelings about krauthammer are well established, I would hope

we have a world to run

out of the mouths of babes

Man, my Twitter followers are having an absolute field day about that Krauthammer guy dying of cancer. Jesus fucking Christ.

Fuck him. War criminal imo.

He is not someone I'll mourn. Just stopping there because cackling with glee is nagl

Interesting point being made that of all the charges against Manafort, working as an unregistered foreign agent is the least of them, and least likely to lead to jail time. So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge? He's ended up in a far worse place. Which implies that maybe there is more there than we know.

Interesting point being made that of all the charges against Manafort, working as an unregistered foreign agent not colluding! NO COLLUSION! is the least of them, and least likely to lead to jail time being very unfairly treated. So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge? He's ended up in a far worse place. Which implies that maybe there is more there than we know WITCH HUNT!

USA Today says the assessed market value of the properties bought by the Kushner venture for $72.5 million, to start this series of transactions, was $3 million.

He sets the terms of the G7, he sets the terms of what the press focuses on more than media wants to realize, he sets the terms of engagement over and over. All while arguing he is a victim of seen and unseen forces. https://t.co/KLofoRsAPh

so sick of her bullshit! you're part of the god damn problem Maggie

ugh yeah

It's like colonel sanders tweeting about how horrible the fast food industry is for making people fat. Fucking infuriating

I love that maggie well do a heinous tweet, get super fucking defensive and get in the mud with people in her menchies, then use 'im bad at twitter' as an excuse.. maybe stop fucking posting then?

that is otm

So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge

Maybe because he's an entitled jackass who thinks he's above the law no matter what he does - and has plenty of evidence to back up that belief - but ultimately at heart like all these people he's a fucking moron? Occam's Razor plz

otm. he sees a Justice Dept. special counsel investigation as just another system he can game his way past, like he always has before.

Man, there is so much greasy money rolling around in US politics with those 501 groups, Those groups don't have to say who gave them the money, it could be from literally anywhere and from anyone, Manifort is just one fish in a big oily sea. It is pretty much legalized institutional graft.

Beyond whatever happened with Russia, that is just one part of the sludge pile. And both parties and their partisans are deep in that muck.

used to work in the office next to krauthammer’s. fuck him tbh

he used to come into the bookstore where i worked. unlike several other DC figures, he was neither creepy nor a dick. but yeah

― President Keyes

he should pardon ted cruz's dad?

Read that Roger Stone was trying to get Trump to pardon Marcus Garvey. If Trump manages to somehow taint reggae along with everything else I will be extra pissed.

Re: Manafort, I'm sure he is an entitled arrogant asshole, but surely* his lawyers told him that the unregistered foreign agent charge was minor and not worth focusing on. That that is the charge we know he tried to tamper with speaks volumes, not the really legally bad stuff but the most seemingly inconsequential of the indictments. Maybe we'll find out there was more tampering going on, but the fact that this action also snagged Konstantin Kilimnik - literally a Russian operative middleman/possible spy - I still say shows what may be weighing on Manafort's mind more than the money laundering.

*I am sure of nothing anymore.

at least krathhammer dies hating Trump so he regained one tiny smidgen of respect for him

Corey Long, one of the Charlottesville rally protestors (protecting himself and another with a makeshift can/flame) was just found guilty and sentenced to a year, all but 20 days suspended. Residents took to the street to protest and were arrested, including a person in a wheelchair who is in the wheelchair due to the white supremacist plowing through the crowd last July.

correction, last August.

I wonder if Trump's starting to regret the strong-arm handshakes now that every world leader is using their handshake as an opportunity to mash the living fuck out of his hand

die of a heart attack you fucking imbecile

“It’s going to stop. Or we’ll stop trading with them. And that’s a very profitable answer, if we have to do it,” Mr. Trump said, adding that “We’re like the piggy bank that everybody’s robbing and that ends.”

...Several of the leaders responded aggressively to Mr. Trump’s demands — as they have repeatedly in public — listing their own complaints about American policies on tariffs and other trade measures, the official said. Several countries have said publicly they will retaliate against the United States’ new steel and aluminum tariffs with increased tariffs of their own.

“If they retaliate, they’re making a mistake,” Mr. Trump said, suggesting that the trade imbalance between the United States and those countries would make tariff increases more destructive for their economies.

In his remarks to questions on Saturday, Mr. Trump repeatedly insisted that the private discussions with his counterparts had been positive, saying that "the relationship that I’ve had with the people, the leaders of these countries has been — I would really rate it on the scale of zero to 10, I would rate it a 10.”

...Mr. Trump said some of the other leaders he met with during the Group of 7 summit appeared to admit that their trade arrangements with the United States were unfair.

“A lot of these countries actually smile at me when I’m talking,” he said. “And the smile is, ‘we couldn’t believe we got away with it.’ That’s the smile.”

That assessment by Mr. Trump stands in contrast to the public statements by those leaders, who have repeatedly insisted that they will not accept the kinds of tariffs that Mr. Trump has imposed on their industries.

...Mr. Trump also blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia’s invasion, in which the country sent troops into Crimea. Mr. Trump said that it was Mr. Obama who should take responsibility for Russia’s actions.

“Crimea was let go during the Obama administration, and you know, Obama can say all he wants, but he allowed Russia to take Crimea,” the president said. “I may have had a much different attitude, but, so, you really have to ask that question to President Obama. You know, why did he do that?”

Macron is v adept at making sure he never looks displeased to see Trump, seemed actually delighted by his late arrival to the gender equality session (probably a lot of relief around the room at his initial absence).

I would really rate it on the scale of zero to 10, I would rate it a 10.

that means big tits, right?
