The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter

Meanwhile, we have a Secretary of State whose politics seems to be driven by Christian views on the Rapture. He literally wants Israel to have the biblical land so the end times can come.

Yeah Pompeo is scary.


Quote:
CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Trump's pick to lead the State Department, has meanwhile portrayed the fight against terrorism as an epic holy war. "The threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer," he told a church group in his hometown of Wichita in 2014. "They abhor Christians and will continue to press against us," he said, "until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure we know that Jesus Christ as our savior is truly the only solution for our world."
They think Islam is the only answer so they are bad, because Christianity is the only answer!

Hearing that from somebody who's supposed to work in diplomacy is horrifying.

It has always said so much about trump that as president he has absolutely refused anyone to double check his work. I feel like it would not only be a benefit of the position but a massive obligation of the position.

So something is up. Who knows what or even in what direction.
Generally speaking, bad news coming down the pipeline has made him freak out and lash out more, not go quiet... If the report said he colluded, but that DOJ doesn't indict the sitting president, and he knew that was in there, I think he'd be freaking out on Twitter about how it was a witch hunt and Mueller was a liberal hatchet man.

That said, if the report was truly totally good news for him, and he knew it, he'd be taking a huge victory lap on Twitter by now.

The only way silence makes sense is if they haven't figured out what course of action is best, and he's actually more disciplined than we all think in regard to Twitter. Like perhaps they're debating whether or not they can get away with suppressing most of the bad stuff and claiming it exonerates him, without any of it leaking to the public? In which case they wouldn't want to be attacking Mueller anymore, but if they didn't think they could get away with it, attacking Mueller more would be the play... Hence silence.

I also expected them to be selectively leaking the parts of it that made them look good by now, assuming the White House has had a look. I figured within 24 hours of the report dropping, we'd be seeing small portions leaked to the media to make Trump look good, then once Congress got the full report we'd get the entire thing leaked and see what it really said.

Is it possible that Barr hasn't given it to the White House yet and is actually reading it first?

This silence definitely doesn't make much sense at all, and I'm curious what the rest of you think is going on...

Prolly waiting for Putin to read it and give him his marching orders.

The white house/twitter silence is odd. Even if they have not read it trump would still be tweeting about it. Hope its making them have to think.

That fact should be part of the messaging, and I'm not saying it would be easy. Tweet links to the list of crimes Trump cronies have been convicted of, talk about the convictions publicly on whatever network show, drive home that Trump is engaging in foreign policy that favors despots around the world regardless of whether raw evidence of collusion is found.

Don't be making stupid premature comments about how you're not going to impeach (Pelosi), or say weird stuff like we have to lay off Russia-gate because Trump will violently overcompensate (Gabbard).

None of the democrats (running or otherwise) are directly addressing *the problem* with our post 2016 world. Fascist ass-clowns have been emboldened and are ****ing **** up and taking **** over everywhere. I can't really get behind focusing on Amazon not paying living wage or M4All when its only like 15% better than Obamacare. Don't really care what polls better.

Lol he has tweeted average of 10 times a day since the invention of Twitter. I hope some leaker drops a 10,000 copies of the report on WaPos door. LETS GOOOO DEALER.

Could be bad maybe Mueller will report on the time TRUMP told Russia to hack the Dems on TV.

Mueller Cannot Seek an Indictment. And He Must Remain Silent.

The unusual situation facing Robert Mueller does not justify a repeal of well-established traditions of confidentiality.

Like a day ago Pompeo said he believes God sent Trump to save Israel. Who knew Trump was the chosen one?

Just looking forward to the day that I could care less if Trump tweets at all!

Didn't under nixon they had to get some senator to put it on the record or something like that since a senator can't get prisoned doing that. I presume that's what'll happen someone leaks it to a senator it goes on record, suck it trumptards?

Oh wait it's the dems they don't go back and look at this history thing for ideas on what to do next.

You remember a Trump tweeted two days ago about revoking sanctions he claimed were just announced but were actually secret.

There has been zero evidence anyone has been able to keep trump from tweeting forever. Whatever reason he is not doing it is his own doing.

Edit: also civil war 2.0 a sure thing now get your money on predictit

Golf and hosting which he does down there stops him from tweeting. It's pretty ridic someone in this thread is like "OMG TRUMP HASN"T TWEETED WHAT DOES IT MEAN" when I'm just glad he FINALLY SHUT THE **** UP.

You dont think its odd the thing he has been whining about forever finished and he has not said a word?

It is completely odd. We should either be seeing tons of tweets about how it is vindication and how it was a witch hunt like he said, or tons of tweets about how the report is obviously full of lies and fake news produced by the angry democrats using the fake dossier. To have neither one of those makes no sense right now. Maybe he is holding off until he figures out how to get Barr to hide anything bad.

Fatburgered himself into the toilet, fell asleep and dropped his phone down the pan.
03-24-2019 , 05:11 AM
I heard his twitter account has been seized as evidence (official presidential statements).

Spoiler:
just kidding
this is really unusual.
