He was hot so he layed his head down in his little styrofoam to-go box of water they gave us. Didn't flinch when we pulled the styrofoam away.

What a dumdum.

This is what happens when the President gets all of his information from Fox instead of his fucking intelligence briefings: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/uae-hacked-qatari-government-sites-sparking-regional-upheaval-according-to-us-intelligence-officials/2017/07/16/00c46e54-698f-11e7-8eb5-cbccc2e7bfbf_story.html

Yeah, we talked about it in the last topic, I think.

I'm slow then :/

Like the meeting and emails are bad enough, but the fact that it so neatly fits into place inside of other confirmed events and matches the tone of a speech that agent orange gave just a couple days later.

That seems huge.
---

Proof in a Tweet and video:

https://twitter.com/yashar/status/884900796957171712

June 7 - 5:16 PM - Don Jr. confirms meeting w/ Russian lawyer

June 7 - 9:13 PM Trump promises press conf the next week with Clinton dirt. https://t.co/qAYEvymsdV
---

This just seems so clear.

And even the excuse that "there wasn't anything of value at the meeting" doesn't change the fact that the meeting and the INTENT behind the meeting was to collude with a foreign power for damning information.

In many case trying to commit a crime but being unsuccessful doesn't change the fact that it's a crime. If you rob someone at gunpoint and their wallet is empty then you still robbed someone at gunpoint.



And then for good measure throw in the fact that June 9th, the same day of the meeting itself was the very first time trump mentioned on twitter about hillary's missing emails:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/741007091947556864

So I think it's safe to say they learned something at the meeting regarding Clinton or there was some huge coincidental knowledge that happened to be learned on the same day that they were trying to learn knowledge regarding HRC.



So we can see all this plain as day now and they expect us to believe that Trump was not only in his office but had no idea a meeting of that nature was taking place? Right.

That's an adorable pitbull.

I bet we're a reveal or two away from finding out that Trump was in the meeting himself

lots of people are saying Trump is in full on panic mode

Do you think he'll resign?

There is a 0% chance Donald Trump resigns the office of the Presidency.

The people who defend this calling it all a coincidence are the ones who made up a code and forced it to fit the emails of the dnc in order to "prove" there was child molestation. They can't even come up with original fan fiction!

furthermore, regarding the argument that jr wasn't officially part of the campaign...


https://twitter.com/lachlan/status/886286641215795200

The Trump campaign began paying Don Jr's lawyer about two weeks before the email story broke, per new FEC filing https://t.co/F0ifZ3q2Xw

---

In fairness to that point about the lawyer's fees the "trump campaign" in that sense is the 2020 election campaign. Not the 2016 campaign during which the wrongdoing occurred.

So you could make the argument that just because he's a part of the 2020 campaign doesn't mean he was officially a part of the 2016 campaign.


Although it's funny that the lawyer services are being rendered as part of the 2020 "primary" campaign as indicated by the checked boxes on the disbursement rather than the "general" campaign. Trump has already assumed he is going to be primary'd by his own party?
---

Donald Junior had at least his traveling expenses covered in 2016 though, so he's not out of the woods in that regard yet either.

Let's be real here, does anybody actually think Trump was honest about this and wasn't paying him for 2016 using this as cover?

Also true. I was just noting that there is a potential justification for this particular payment to be unrelated to the 2016, however flimsy that justification might be.

None of which changes the more damning aspects of the situation.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Trump is paying his son's legal fees with campaign funds? I mean that screams SHADY to me. He's a billionaire.

Yes. You're literally the only one.

He spend charity funds on a picture of himself.

This is business as usual for our citrus in chief.
---

it's sad that his campaign funds are basically a more transparent version of his charity

at least the campaign fund you'd expect to be about himself and by extension his family
---

Didn't he also buy a football helmet signed by Tebow with charity money?

Somehow these things seem like they should be, idk, illegal. Then again running a for-profit college with no actual curriculum should also be illegal but it's not.

BIG NEWS REGARDING MARALAGO


https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/886945456508588033

MAJOR CREW VICTORY: as part of our lawsuit, the gov't has to turn over Mar-a-Lago visitor records by Sept. 8th. We'll be making them public.

Now, in the past, trump has deleted records and emails from his private companies despite court orders not to, and only received slaps on the wrist (minor fines). This is government business, however, and i expect (pray) that doing such things for this will carry heavier consequences.
---

Maybe Donald's career will wind up like Tebow's: have an exciting first year before confirming he doesn't have the skills to lead a professional team, then soon after maybe settle for just doing commentary.
---

Trump got to be a billionaire in the first place by making sure never to spend his own money on anything when it's possible to spend other people's money.
---

That's something he bragged about, yeah. John Oliver talked about how his campaign was financed by loans too so the money he raised could then be used to pay the loans off instead of actually using his own money.

Progress on Russia news has gotten talked down a lot by Republicans the past year, but relevations and investigations keep escalating. I wonder how much further this can really continue, but I'll hope instead that America as a whole gets it together and presses against this.

Maybe Donald's innocent from collusion, but I don't see any room for benefit of the doubt at the moment and turning the search on Mar-a-Lago is a good next step.

That'd be nice, but it looks like too many republicans are complicit (or too power-hungry to speak against it) and their base has been beaten down and basically brainwashed by decades of education dismantling and propaganda.

Reps drink far too much Koolaid to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Also afaik the Dems don't have a candidate for that race yet, which is the second most winnable pickup for them
