While there can be no winners in a trade war, we are definitely going to get the worse end of the stick. To weather such a battle we need support from our allies but right now the US has North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately the law is ambiguous enough that pretty much anything can be targetted in the name of national security. As for congress doing anything, they are cowards. Republicans have done nothing to actively oppose Trump on ANY issue.

Call to suspend Mueller probe was just posturing, Giuliani says

President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said on Monday that he was actually just bluffing last week when he called for Justice Department leaders to suspend special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation within 24 hours.

“I didn’t think it would,” Giuliani told POLITICO with a laugh when asked about the Mueller inquiry’s still being very much an active investigation. “But I still think it should be.”

Giuliani’s demand for the Mueller investigation to be terminated came on Thursday night in response to a report the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General that criticized former FBI Director James Comey’s decisions overseeing the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Giuliani said Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should “redeem themselves” the next day by shutting down the Mueller inquiry.

“That’s what I’m supposed to do,” Giuliani explained on Monday. “What am I supposed to say? That they should investigate him forever? Sorry, I’m not a sucker.”

...

Giuliani on Monday also dismissed a Washington Post article published over the weekend that said Mueller had told Trump’s lawyers he might break up his work into two different reports, with a first set of findings issued as early as this fall centering just on questions of whether the president obstructed justice with the Comey firing. Broader conclusions about possible Russian influence in the 2016 election would be saved for later.

“I don’t see the point of it,” Giuliani said of splitting up Mueller’s findings into two parts. “They’re going to be stapled together anyway.”

Repurposing Giuliani for this was a stroke of genius on the part of the simulation writers. They could have just created a new character or had Ty Cobb play this role or something, but they were able to see the potential Rudy had to play a total buffoon character.

Reusing characters is probably a good idea because there are so many plot threads now, it's going to be like Game of Thrones or Lost trying to wrap everything up in a satisfying way. I think we need to come to terms with the fact that we may not ever get answers for some of the minor plotlines. Things like why the **** Sean Hannity retained Michael Cohen, that subplot probably gets quietly dropped.

Looking into it a little, I could probably knock this out in a couple evenings if people think it would be useful/funny. (it's not even that hard, I just haven't written this type of thing before so I'd be learning as I go)

I’m sure it would be easy for you. Not for me

I’m kind of interested in doing this too, if you make a repository for it i’d be glad to try to help in any way i could

Sounds like you guys would enjoy doing it and maybe learn some stuff along the way so I say go for it.

awesome idea...

When all is said and done and I look back on this era, this is the part I'll never understand. We are talking about a group of less than 500 people. And NONE of them are saying "Hey, something is wrong here" and doing something about it. The closest we are getting is soulless ghouls like Ryan quietly stepping down and not running for office. The drugs and hookers in DC must be off the charts. It's the only thing I can think of.

I feel like there is already a place to go on the internet to read all the tweets someone makes and that is twitter. What is the benefit of having every Trump tweet retweeted ITT without any curation?

I mean, he's not wrong.

The lack of labeling the girl is very unGarrison.

Also he definitely wants to **** Trump

Peace through Strength sounds eerily similar to the slogan "Strength through unity. Unity through faith." from V For Vendetta.

I have to admit that I genuinely like Garrisons cartoons. I like commandment 2 - "better deals", but "lock her up!!" presumably scribbled in at the last minute in his Trump Tower office actually made me lol.

Is Garrison saying Melania is dead?

That cartoon seems a tad blasphemous.

Not everyone does the Twitter. I’d rather unfollow Trump on my Tweetspace feed.

I get that Trump's a racist, but infest? Jesus. And Democrats using illegal immigratns as "potential" voters? Mother f*cker.

"Peace through Strength" was a big Reagan thing. (Not that he coined it, but imo that's the reference)

Because he didn't steal enough slogans from Reagan

naw man, them are good posts. We just also need to figure a way to automatically randomly post images of Trump. Would then be able to automate much of the poasting ITT. Save certain folks a lot of time.

I legit would have guessed it’s from Orwell. “Real slogan or 1984 reference” would be a tough game.

Orwell was not aiming for subtle in 1984. He had "War is Peace". Gotta wait for the Trump 2024 campaign for that one.

That's for the slogan. We have perpetual war already.

It was originally from Hadrian. Maybe Trump is studying famous wall builders?
