Donald J. Trump: President of the USA Part III Covfefe

[Gingerbeardman]

what happened to the collusion delusion, is that also finally dead?

See my last post.

I believe Trump is calling it a fence now and not a wall. It hasn't been closed in yet and Mexico is certainly not paying for it.

Last I heard he was offering presidential pardons for anyone who broke the law while building it.

“The false accusation that Breitbart is racist, or that its award-winning reporter Joel Pollak — an Orthodox Jew, married to a black woman who serves in the military — is either racist or would make anyone at a black university uncomfortable is absurd. The irony of Mr. O’Rourke — who has stated himself that he is the beneficiary of ‘white privilege’ — purporting to decide for black students who should be banned from events that are open to the press, or what they should feel, is not lost on us.”

Thats gold

Damn thought they finally got him after all these years....

So now we have Russians co-signing Trump’s loans. The mountain of Criminality is overwhelming. Impeachment is just the start. Vote him out. Then indict him. America deserves a President who isn’t a Liar, a Racist, and a Traitor.

You said people im labeling right wing arent actually right wing before even finding out which people i was calling right wing. You should probably check which people im referring to before you make statements about my inability to judge on political leanings.

Oh, I don't know? Your posting history?

New report details Comey plan to ambush Trump with Moscow sex allegation

A just-released Justice Department inspector general's report provides new details on a January 2017 plan by then-FBI Director James Comey, top bureau officials, and the nation's intelligence chiefs to spring a scandalous allegation on President-elect Trump, quickly record his reaction, use a…

www.washingtonexaminer.com

The new inspector general's report shows that Comey and other top officials placed great credibility in the allegation, which even Steele himself reportedly had grave doubts about.

On Friday, Jan. 6, 2017, Comey, along with CIA head John Brennan, National Intelligence chief James Clapper, and NSA Director Mike Rogers, met with President-elect Trump in Trump Tower in New York. Together, they briefed Trump on the findings of the intelligence community investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.

But the group, and especially Comey, had bigger plans than that. Before the meeting, they agreed that after briefing the president-elect on Russian efforts, the others would leave, and Comey would stay to brief Trump alone about the Steele Moscow sex allegation.

Comey and top FBI officials prepared meticulously for the moment. The IG report says Comey had a planning meeting with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, chief of staff James Rybicki, general counsel James Baker, and "the supervisors of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election." (It is unclear who was in that last group, although the now-famous FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page played large roles in the investigation.)

The IG report says the group "agreed that the briefing needed to be one-on-one, so that Comey could present the 'salacious' information in the most discreet and least embarrassing way." But however it was presented, the FBI leaders worried that Trump might "perceive the one-on-one briefing as an effort to hold information over him like a 'Hoover-esque type of plot.'" That was a reference to the FBI's notorious founding director J. Edgar Hoover, who relished keeping (and using) embarrassing secrets on top political leaders.

The group discussed how Trump might react. In particular, they considered whether he would "make statements about or provide information of value to the pending Russia interference investigation" known as "Crossfire Hurricane."

Perhaps Trump would say something incriminating. The FBI officials made plans for Comey, immediately after leaving the meeting, to write down everything he could remember about whatever Trump said. Comey also wanted to discuss Trump's reactions with top aides immediately. Comey told the inspector general it was "important for FBI executive managers to be 'able to share in [Comey's] recall of the salient details of those conversations.'" Bureau officials also wanted to be able to respond if Trump publicly "misrepresent[ed] what happened in the encounter."

So, preparations were made. "Comey said he had a secure FBI laptop waiting for him in his FBI vehicle and that when he got into the vehicle, he was handed the laptop and 'began typing as the vehicle moved.'" He worked on his account as the FBI car took him to the New York field office, where aides had set up a secure video teleconference with Rybicki, McCabe, Baker, and the "Crossfire Hurricane" supervisors. Comey continued to work on his memo after that and sent the group a final version the next day, Saturday, Jan. 7.

I think they're purposely dragging out how long it takes to disclose everything simply for maximum 2020 impact.

Inspector General Report Reveals Charges Against James Comey To Be Mind-Numbingly Stupid

Because that principal conclusion clears Comey, Trump’s defenders are understandably focused on the IG report’s second main finding.

slate.com

If you actually read the 61-page IG report in full, though, it makes clear that not only did Trump fabricate the principal charge that Comey leaked classified information, but the secondary charge for which the IG has now slapped Comey’s wrist is mind-numbingly dumb.

Ironically, the IG’s report offers the news that the FBI had already tacitly accepted that Comey’s public disclosure was appropriate. The day before his Senate testimony, the FBI handed Comey the memos in question along with three others “for him to review at home in preparation for the hearing.” So, the FBI acknowledged directly to Comey before his testimony that the material that Graham described as an “off-the-rails” leak could be discussed publicly in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the entire country.

The IG report should hopefully bring the whole pathetic episode of Trump’s efforts to “investigate the investigators” to a close. Republicans, including the president, are already using it to smear Comey and claim to exonerate Trump. But that doesn’t change the fact that the ultimate findings are were little more than a joke.

So here's a horrifying story:

‘I feel like I’m signing my son’s death warrant.’ Children at Boston hospitals face deportation - The Boston Globe

All 20 families had been granted “medical deferred action,” a special status that allows them to remain in the country legally, receive Medicaid, and work while their children receive medical care.

‘I feel like I’m signing my son’s death warrant.’ Children at Boston hospitals face deportation

Severely ill immigrants, including children with cancer, cystic fibrosis, and other grave conditions, are facing deportation under a change in Trump administration policy that immigration advocates are calling cruel and inhumane.

The policy change will affect at least a dozen children receiving treatment at Boston hospitals and potentially thousands of additional immigrants across the country, according to lawyers and advocates. All had been granted “medical deferred action,” a special status that allows immigrants to remain in the country legally, receive Medicaid, and work while they receive treatment for dire health conditions.



Anyone care to defend this?
