Politics & Government Soon to be ex President Trump

[Black Flag]

Using Bill Maher as a voice rep probably isn't the best idea....Bloke's been a sell-out shill to the establishment for nigh on a decade now....He'll sell any narrative, as long as he's paid to do it.

show's gone down hill since a few months before the election. used to download it religiously. now just catch a few minutes on utube

packs the show with neo liberal hacks like barney frank and howard dean while the likes of cornel west are nowhere to be seen.

Cornel West was on this week.

Cornel West was on this week.

Why on earth Cornel West would demean himself to go on such a shill of a sell-out's show, I'll never know.

You must feel like a bit of dick at this time for wanting Trump in the White House.

I wanted Sanders numbskull....But given both Hilary & Trump cheated, we'll call it a nil-all draw.

I was against Hilary purely on the grounds of peace & no more expansion of war.....She was threatening Russia with nukes FFS.

How did Hillary cheat against Trump? And when did she threaten to shoot nuclear weapons at Russia?

 

[Procrastinator35]

She cheated Sanders out of the DNC nom illegally.....So she shouldn't have even been the DNC candidate in the first place....Sanders would have shat it in, in spite of the GOP's cheating n all.

A bit hypocritical of all these Democrat media types railing against Trump, for usurping the POTUS title on complicit grounds, when HRC did the self-same thing to Sanders.

She was pro war against the Russians.

I'm on my phone so copying and pasting links is a chore, but a simple Google search will help you bud.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

That's not an answer to my question, bud.

 

[Procrastinator35]

That's not an asnwer to my question, bud.

She cheated in becoming the Democrat nominee in the first place; Ergo she has no moral standing upon which to question Trump's presidency.

That should be blindingly self-evident to any non-partisan, unaffiliated & right-minded person.

We all know Trump cheated & is unfit for office, but both of those factors also apply just as equally to her.....Get over it.

Donald Trump was “exhausted” during his first trip overseas as President and asked his daughter to attend a scheduled event in his place.

A White House official was asked by reporters why Mr Trump had deviated from his prepared speech earlier that day to Muslim leaders about fighting Islamist terrorism.

“Just an exhausted guy,” she replied.

"I didn't mean to grope you, I'm sorry that I hate Muslims. I'm just an exhausted guy."

Poor don dons, a bit ty ty.

Trump told Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte Washington had "a lot of firepower over there", according to the New York Times, which quoted a transcript of an April 29 call between the two.

"We have two submarines — the best in the world. We have two nuclear submarines, not that we want to use them at all," the newspaper quoted Trump as telling Duterte, based on the transcript.

The report was based on a Philippine transcript of the call that was circulated on Tuesday under a "confidential" cover sheet by the Americas division of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs.

Good to see DT calling out the latest terrorist(s) as losers.
I was waiting for the hand signal and I would've been sold.

GOP: It’s time to get off the Trump train. You have nothing left to lose

Sarah Kendzior is a St. Louis, Mo.-based commentator who writes about politics, the economy and media

In October of 2016, Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz, the head of the House oversight committee, announced that he was pulling his support for Donald Trump.

“My wife and I, we have a 15-year-old daughter, and if I can’t look her in the eye and tell her these things, I can’t endorse this person,” he said, after Mr. Trump’s boasts of sexual assault came to light.

Like all things related to GOP integrity, Mr. Chaffetz’s commitment was short-lived. It’s now been seven months since Jason Chaffetz has been able to look his daughter in the eye, busy as he has been defending the groper-in-chief and dodging questions about his complicity in the Russian interference scandal. Until recently, Mr. Chaffetz refused to investigate Michael Flynn and other Trump associates.

Now Mr. Chaffetz, tainted by Trumpian treachery, is stepping down, telling CNN: “At some point, you’ve got to get off this crazy train. There’s always somebody doing something stupid somewhere, there’s always plenty of things to investigate and look at.”

He is right. The crazy train is the Trump Train, and it runs down its own passengers. A politician may think he is riding the train, only to find out the train’s been riding over him, pounding him into political roadkill. Survivors of the Trump Train stumble around like scared animals who don’t understand how they mistook the highway for home. Just ask Chris Christie, the first major Republican to endorse Mr. Trump, and now the first to condemn him, as he pitifully affirmed this week the corruption of the administration he was not asked to join.

Logically, there was never any incentive to board the Trump Train. The President has spent his whole life acting like Faust only without an actual soul to sell, striking bad bargains that humiliate whoever joins him. Trump’s promises never hold: Support this lifelong con artist and you will sacrifice yourself for nothing. Ask Sean Spicer, whose dream of seeing the Pope this week Trump denied. In Trump’s America, the train rides you.

One would think, with a 40-year track record of malfeasance and an administration under investigation by multiple intelligence agencies, that the GOP would realize it is finally time to leave the Trump Train. The stakes are as high as they can get: The fate not only of the U.S. but of the world rests on their ability to put country over party, to rein in Mr. Trump’s violent ambitions and to investigate Mr. Trump as the public demands.

Unfortunately, the GOP shows few signs of wising up. There are three main reasons for this: careerism, opportunism and contamination. The first, careerism, is the most simple to understand and overcome. GOP candidates are concerned about re-election and refuse to denounce others in the party. As Mr. Trump’s popularity plunges, the risk of careerism lessens.

Then you are left with opportunism. Many who boarded the Trump Train likely did so suspecting the conductor might get booted, leaving them with Mike Pence, a right-wing extremist who nonetheless is a more standard Republican official. Opportunists are fighting to get vile policies – like stripping Americans of their social safety net – passed before Mr. Trump is potentially booted while simultaneously avoiding the contamination of his regime.

But this endeavour is impossible. As GOP strategist and “Never Trumper” Rick Wilson says, “Everything Trump touches dies.” This includes the ability of politicians to escape unscathed. If it is only one’s career prospects and integrity that are lost, the politician is lucky. At this point, association with the Trump administration means you may be tangentially linked to a massive international criminal operation. It means you may be in proximity to treason, as some have perceived from the released tapes of Speaker Paul Ryan and others speculating that Mr. Trump might be paid by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The road to impeachment is the road to self-immolation, which is why Republicans at Russian interference hearings behave as if intelligence officials – like former CIA chief John Brennan – are hostile witnesses instead of patriots providing valuable testimony, and treat leaks as greater affronts than the horrifying revelations the leaks contain.

National security should never be a partisan issue. The gutlessness of the Republican Party at this critical juncture hurts all Americans, including themselves. To depart the Trump Train now may be to leave tarnished by scandal, but it is the only way to keep the country from going off the rails.

O.K....And just how the Trump train is any worse or different than Bush snr, Clinton, Bush Jnr or Obama....Remains a mystery.

DNC supporters still as un-hinged as ever.

Shouldn't these talkshows spend more time trying to be funny, rather than politically analyse everything?

They're not supposed to be Insiders.

Maybe they can and do both because freedom.

If Trump wasn't a freak they'd probably do less of it.
