The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5063 - Politics and Economics

Ignoring the insanity of the president of the United States tweeting this for a moment, why do people concede in close elections like this? It makes no sense at all.

Anyone else find it ironic Trump admitted to watching CNN today when he was insulting Abby Phillip?

“What a stupid question that is. What a stupid question. I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions.”

ORLY?

So I guess this WSJ story about Karen McDougal would be big news if a president could be indicted and didn’t have unlimited pardon power. #WeGotHim

As a presidential candidate in August 2015, Donald Trump huddled with a longtime friend, media executive David Pecker, in his cluttered 26th floor Trump Tower office and made a request.

What can you do to help my campaign? he asked, according to people familiar with the meeting.

Mr. Pecker, chief executive of American Media Inc., offered to use his National Enquirer tabloid to buy the silence of women if they tried to publicize alleged sexual encounters with Mr. Trump.

Less than a year later, Mr. Trump asked Mr. Pecker to quash the story of a former Playboy model who said they’d had an affair. Mr. Pecker’s company soon paid $150,000 to the model, Karen McDougal, to keep her from speaking publicly about it. Mr. Trump later thanked Mr. Pecker for the assistance.

Quote:

The Wall Street Journal found that Mr. Trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the agreements. He directed deals in phone calls and meetings with his self-described fixer, Michael Cohen, and others. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has gathered evidence of Mr. Trump’s participation in the transactions.

The WSJ has the whole timeline. Seems like Mueller is releasing something soon so this info got out. Or something like that

That WSJ article is well done. Even the visuals with the quotes placed in it are fantastic.

Trump is just live tweeting whatever is on Fox News at that moment. Matthew Gertz is tracking it

For real, we need to maybe think about changing this whole “The President is completely above federal law” thing, in hindsight it’s not a good idea.

If he does tweet about the fires it will be just to incorrectly **** on California fire/water policy.

Ironic thing is these fires typically hit rural communities the most (like the fire near Chico), most of the victims are likely Trumpsters.

1. Happen to "lose" boxes of votes in D counties in random places
2. Scream about "fraud" when people, inconveniently, find them
3. Win elections! Democracy!

Chuck Todd said yesterday that coming into Election day Fox News was mentioning it around 10 times an hour, and had exactly 1 mention TOTAL on Wednesday-Thursday

Imagine all the **** we'd be terrified of right now if Clinton were president. FoxNews would gin up the stories about ISIS regrouping, Ebola, MS-13, imminent deficit-induced economic collapse, GAS PRICES, whatever - which the MSM would then dutifully pick up and run with. Just like the caravan except it never stops coming.

As it is now Fox only pulls this fearmongering stuff for an election bump, then goes back to relatively placid liberal-bashing.

Remember when the PIIIGs were gonna end us all?
