trump controversies

Sarah Huckabee Saunders, White House spokesperson who took over from Sean Spicer is due to leave, Trump has announced and to return to 'the Great State of Arkansas' at the end of June. Did she jump or was she pushed? What made me laugh was the following...

I knew Trump would back down on the Mexico tariff threats. He predictably was looking for attention. As soon as he isn't the top headline he looks for another attention getting tactic. Cue the threat of tariffs on all of Mexican goods. Tariffs on Mexico was a bad idea, the GOP legislators knew...

Donald Trump arrives in the UK tomorrow for a full state visit (with his family in tow). Already he is causing controversy when he appeared to interfere in UK politics by endorsing Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister, when he has not even been elected leader of the Tory Party yet. This...

Will Trump behave himself and act presidential and bipartisan? Or, will this result in a massive Trump rally, a Nuremberg rally on the Potomac...

Can we just clear something up here? Do those that keep repeating that Trump "lies all the time" believe that most other politicians, not least HRC, don't lie? Or that they "don't lie as much"? These were split from the Mueller Report thread. They were just off topic enough to be moved out of...

So, as far back as I can remember we had conspiracy theories that President ( ) would not step down and possibly cancel elections. For the first time ever it sorta seems possible when you consider that Trump himself is saying he had two years stolen from him, his top surrogates advocating...

Since even Ross Douthat appears to have fallen victim to this particularly popular bit of "the Deep State is out to get Trump" CT, now being promoted by the Attorney General of the United States (along with Trump himself of course). Just linking an NYT opinion piece from May 3 by a former...

Yes, and it seems to me that we're seeing a particularly toxic combination of social media and large strongly-partisan news sources. Calm, balanced reporting rarely seems to be linked in my Facebook feed, but I have friends who regularly link outraged articles from The Blaze or the Palmer...

This thread is a continuation from Part 13. Any post from any previous part may be quoted freely here. Trump appears to be firing anyone who will not not break the law for him, and will keep doing so until he is surrounded with people who will break any law he tells them to. In the case of...

Bill Barr announced that he will redact "Information that could hurt the reputation and privacy of peripheral third parties." and my first question is: who, according to Barr (because he is the one gets to decide) could possibly fall under the heading of "peripheral third parry" ?

Is this a joke? Trump Selects Herman Cain for Federal Reserve Board, Sources Say Maybe it's another one of the few black people he knows?

How crazy is Trump, exactly? Does he really believe the military, the police, and the bikers would rise up against the collective will of the American people in support of HIM, DONOLF TRUMPLER? Lawrence doesn't think so. He thinks Trump was just running off at the mouth again. Crazy, unhinged...

When Clinton was the Democratic candidate in 2016, a lot of concern was expressed over her handling of emails (suggesting she would be less than stringent regarding national security.) Now that Trump is in power, I think its a good thing to list all of the security problems we have had...

I feel like this should probably have its own thread. First, here is his opening written statement in full. And here is the TL/DR version, thanks to the Failing New York Times. It's worth bearing in mind that there is claimed documentary support for much of what Cohen is going to say, and...

It appears as if Trump is going to declare a National Emergency to get his wall. I'm confident that the courts will rule this does not constitute an emergency. But no question, this will be a Constitutional crisis as the power of the purse belongs to Congress. Trump and the GOP are being...

Simple yet highly effective way to view a complex timeline. I've been wanting to develop something like that for years. Continued from here. You can quote or reply to any (on topic) posts from that thread here.

:id: Continued from here

I think we need a thread about the dumbest suggestion on how government employees should handle the shutdown. So far, we've seen various ideas floated by Trump and/or members of his administration... take out a mortgage, get free food, etc. We've also seen people suggest they should be happy...

Cohen's statement about acting with the knowledge and direction of Despot Donald Trump means far far more than just the things Cohen did. it establishes precedent. Now go back and re-read the reporting from the early days of the Mueller probe on Manafort's emails saying the campaign needed to...

Is anyone watching these? To my mind he seems to be pretty well spoken and makes a good case for himself and his previous writings. Assuming he is telling the truth, he says that he won't interfere or allow anyone else to interfere with the Muller probe, and that he will release the report...

Continued from here Twelve monkeys? It seems to sum up this Legislature.

While it doesn't compare to the attack on our democracy that the Trump administration conducts, the agreement to dissolve the Trump charity and the detailing of (quoting NY AG Underwood) is just one more example of our president's contempt for the rule of law (along with violating the emolument...

This is a monumental failure in vetting. Weird that this keeps happening, right?

This article breaks down the alleged draft Corsi Statement of Offence and how it provides more evidence of collusion Thread continued from here; you may quote or reply to any post from that or previous portions of this thread.

Continuation thread from here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=332160 https://twitter.com/MichaelCBender/status/1062441616890388480 Paywalled article embedded in tweet, with the headline suggesting Bolton may also be on the way out.

So, looks like we are full speed ahead with creating concentration camps. Trump just announced a new policy of capturing and then not releasing immigrants. Just keep collecting them. Sooner or later the right will find convenient quarries where they can be killed.

Pittsburgh shooting victims' families and local officials have begged Trump to stay the hell away, at least until they bury their dead. But Trump's a-coming' anyway. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/us/politics/pittsburgh-synagogue-trump.html

CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/politics/donald-trump-ending-birthright-citizenship/index.html Okay the baggage of Trump and who and what he is will overshadow any actual discussion, I have zero idea if from a Constitutional level this is something would actually fall under Executive...

What can we say about Trump that hasn't already been said? I know, LOCK HIM UP! For all his chants of leading his fandom to cheers of 'Lock her up' when referring to Hillary . It is Trump that belongs in prison as does his children with the obvious exception of the daughter we never hear...
