Tehran reportedly claiming that the US has violated the Iran deal with the new sanctions. Im sure Trump's response will be measured and diplomatic

Let's not forget that R. Kelly (a black male) did a piss tape with a 14 y.o. and walked. You're gonna need something way more serious than that to nab the President. Something like calling a magazine a clip on film.

Therefore immigration is nice but also somewhat double edged for those of us who dont love the right wing growing stronger.
Even the tough-grading Romanian judges put out a 9.0 for these mental gymnastics.

All is a waist of time if you are trying to convince the nationalists when it comes to immigration. Using it on the nationalists is not for them its for the pole sitters.

We passed that point a while ago. Pee tape is no longer the biggest kompromat against Trump. Definitely not the worst in the eyes of the law. People bring it up in such a way because it's the most salacious and damaging in the court of public opinion.

So they're basically cutting Trump off from the rest of the world. No chance to demonstrate his mental problems, no meetings that can leak out, no accountability at all.

No TV or phone?? Either way, he should enjoy this indefinitely.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo is a Trump guy who publicly casts shade on Russia hacking the election, and McMaster has been speaking up and pissing Trump off by cleaning house at National Security.

The NYT article attached is a great addition to the Ezra Cohen-Watnick story. It turns out he's not the only Flynn loyalist McMaster went after. McM targeted Ezra a 2nd time just this past week, and successfully got him to resign. He also got rid of a few others. Turns out McMaster is purging the whole National Security Agency of anyone related to Mike Flynn. Interesting...

so morning joe is reporting Trump is basically being a pain in the ass about Afghanistan. Wanted to fire the commanding general in Af multiple times, meetings 2+ hours that are getting heated, etc.
Isn't this actually something good? Maybe his approach and ideas aren't ideal, but isn't a president being highly critical of all things Af a good thing?

reuters article for reference

NBC said he compared fixing Afghanistan to renovating one of his restaurants. In the situation room.

The people who criticized the media and Democrats for their obsessive focus on Russia should be embarrassed. I don't think anything related to Russia will lead to impeachment, but attention on Russia is the only reason Trump was willing to sign a new sanctions bill against Russia and the only reason that Putin has decided that Trump is an unreliable friend. I doubt that reimposing sanctions will deter Putin from future interference in American elections, but it's better than the alternative.

And it's critically important to remember that Trump was forced into a more normal posture towards Putin only because of Democrats and the media. If left to his own devices, he happily would have compromised the single most important feature of any democracy -- free and fair elections.

so they're turning him into first term Obama, who's lack of policy knowledge was carefully concealed from the public. It worked fine for Obama, it should work fine for Trump too.

You live in a completely made up fantasy world. No wonder you like trump so much.

The new sanctions are a step forward for sure, and it's a great sign that Congress isn't leaving control of these sanctions in Trump's hands.

That said, there's still a long way to go. I can't agree with you that free and fair elections are finally safe. Our elections are the most vulnerable they've ever been, and for whatever reason (hint hint) they're in more danger from Russia than a 400lb guy in a bed from any other country.

Congress needs to plug a lot of national security holes and quickly, otherwise Putin will find a way to win regardless of whether Trump stays loyal to him.

I get the feeling that Trump and Putin are still best buds, and both are kind of playing along with these diplomatic moves for the sake of appearances and politics. I'm at least still convinced of Trump's loyalty to Putin.

He will get primaried. It's just a matter of how serious a contender. I think he will struggle to get the R nomination.

It came and went as a big deal for a day or two, but we should be EXTREMELY concerned about the 3 basically unaccounted for hours that the two of them spent together at the G20. The 1 hour long hidden 2nd meeting with no US witnesses even more than the 1st.

For President Goldfish's 10 minute attention span, 3 hours is a buttload of time. There must have been some really really interesting topics covered, other than those adrenaline pumping adoptions.

It's not about liking Trump, it's about wanting improvement in America for millions upon millions of people, jobs, economy, safety foreign and domestic, etc.

this thread is just about how we can distract people from the important issues by focusing on personal drama and fake conspiracies etc.

General Kelly must be in the bathroom.

During Barack Obama's first term he held 2 camera town hall-style debates with MEMBERS OF CONGRESS about Obamacare, including one only with House Republicans. He absolutely dominated both of them!
08-03-2017 , 08:32 AM
Uh, he only signed the sanctions because of the veto proof majority.
