The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 33 - Politics and Economics

Oh, I see, we're sharing random facts. Stephen Curry is the starting point guard for the Western Conference in the NBA All-Star game! That's a pretty cool fact imo.

The real story here is that someone in Trumps inner circle is leaking a whole lot of stuff to the press.

It's one thing to say this when you're on the outside of the government looking in. But Trump needs to realize that he is the government now. So if this is true...its on him to prove it. That's why there are investigators and prosecutors.

The article cites "nearly a dozen senior White House officials and other Trump advisers and confidants," which seems like an awful lot of rats streaming off the ship!

Yeah, this whole blaming Stein/Johnson voters for Hillary losing thing is silly as ****.

Let's look at the list of close races from Wikipedia and see which of these Stein stole from Hillary.

Michigan(16): Trump 2,279,543, ClintonStein 2,320,302, swings to Clinton assuming none of Johnson's 172,136 voters would have voted for Trump
Pennsylvania(20): Trump 2,970,733, ClintonStein 2,976,382, same deal as Michigan because Johnson got 146,715 votes
Wisconsin(10): Trump 1,405,284, ClintonStein 1,413,608, same as the previous two because Johnson got 106,674 votes
Florida(29): Trump 4,617,886, ClintonStein 4,569,374, Trump wins regardless of Stein voters
Nebraska's 2nd congressional district(1): Trump 137,564, ClintonStein 134,377, Trump wins regardless of Stein voters
Arizona(11): Trump 1,252,401, ClintonStein 1,195,512, Trump wins regardless of Stein voters
North Carolina(15): Trump 2,362,631, ClintonStein 2,201,421, Trump wins regardless of Stein or Johnson voters
Georgia(16): Trump 2,089,104, ClintonStein 1,885,637, Trump wins regardless of Stein or Johnson voters
Ohio(18): Trump 2,841,005, ClintonStein 2,440,435, Trump wins regardless of Stein or Johnson voters
Texas(38): Trump 4,685,047, ClintonStein 3,949,426, Trump wins regardless of Stein or Johnson voters
Iowa(6): Trump 800,983, ClintonStein 665,148, Trump wins regardless of Stein or Johnson voters

So Jill Stein cost Clinton the election if you assume that all of Jill Stein's voters would have switched to Clinton and none of Gary Johnson's would have switched to Trump.

I kind of remember there being a thing where Trump made all of his people sign NDAs before the general election -- I wonder if he's just going to start suing people.

This GIF is trying to say more than that, though.

No, the bold is the entire point.

Sigh. Trump voters, ladies and gentleman.

It's sad when it's looking like the most effective White House strategy for the first 100 days is going to be playing out one of the plots of "National Lampoon's Van Wilder".

So apparently government departments are getting memos not to post anything to the public without WH approval. That ranges from mildly annoying and stupid, I won't get to see my daily BLM pics of American nature, to autocratic bs where the government stops reporting statistics in general so Trump can just make up whatever BS he wants to about jobs and whatnot.

Edit: Apparently it's only until "policies will be reviewed", which isn't wholly unreasonable, but a bit silly that they send out a scary ass email to just say hold off on posting things until it matches up with policy.

Those sneaky Dems. When the illegals showed up and asked which swing states to vote in, they were told to run up the score in California.

Stein was echoing the same "emails were a crime" mantra as the hard right. Someone on the left making those statements made the accusations more believable and probably hurt Clinton at least in terms of turnout.

So **** her. She gets some credit here. She'll also get some credit in a few years when we have a bunch of unvaccinated kids who end up autistic anyway.

Wow.

So Hillary won the popular vote in California only. Trump won it everywhere else.

That's astonishing.

Theresa "The Maybot" May meets him tomorrow.

Quote:

“I’ve already said some of the comments Donald Trump has made in relation to women are unacceptable. Some of those he has apologised for. When I sit down, I think the biggest statement that will be made about the role of women is that I will be there as a female prime minister, directly talking to him about the interests we share.

“I will be talking to Donald Trump about the issues that we share, about how we can build on the special relationship. It’s the special relationship that also enables us to say when we do find things unacceptable … Whenever there is something that I find unacceptable, I will say that to Donald Trump.”

I doubt she'll get a word in and will be ushered out after ten minutes.
Hope she wears the leather trousers.

That is the mindset you have to understand and why abortion rights for some people overrides all other considerations.
