I'll say it again...he resigns by middle of next year, because he didn't realize the presidency is an actual job.

 

Plus...

 

 

Checks and balances? What are those?

 

 

Pretty much going as I expected, except more quickly.

after 8 yrs of the party of yes this is what we must expect

trump is a classic tear down businessman. he makes money mainly by exploiting failing businesses and leveraging them against other money making assets to avoid paying taxes, thus keeping all that positive cash flow for himself

 

these kinds of ppl dont need to know how to build a real business. they only need to know how to be as ruthless as possible. they routinely use intimidation as a tactic to get ppl that they owe money to back down and take less, or nothing at all. they cheat ppl out of legitimately earned money as a matter of financial principle

 

this was eminently easy to predict. the idea that he was going to bring all this bidness acumen to the gubmint was always a sham bc he is a sham

 

this is what you voted for. you deserve this outcome

There has been no evidence provided that the Russians were involved.

 

 

Donald Trump Russia dossier: US intelligence confirms truth of some details

 

US intelligence officials have confirmed some aspects of the “Russia dossier” that rocked Washington a month ago, it has been reported. However, those aspects of the dossier that have been confirmed do not relate directly to Donald Trump.
On Friday, CNN, which was first to break news of the briefing to Mr Trump and Mr Obama, said intelligence officials had confirmed some aspects of the dossier, which were initially collected by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele. He collected it as opposition research for Mr Trump’s opponents - Republicans and then Democrats - during the presidential campaign.
It said the elements that had been confirmed were several conversations in the dossier involving foreign nationals. None of the conversations involved Mr Trump or members of his team.
It also said that intelligence officials had at this stage, neither confirmed or disproved any of the more salacious claims included in the dossier, which was published in full by BuzzFeed and several other news outlets.
it appears blatantly clear that the russian agenda was to avoid having to contend with an ultra-experienced international expert and instead install a stooge they could manipulate for their benefit

It's a delicious irony that many of the people who voted for Trump are now slack-jawed...they "really didn't think he meant it!". Well, he probably didn't but he's an egomaniac who's painted himself into a corner. So now he's stuck. It's some consolation that he's probably every bit as miserable as the people who are targets of Bannon's hatred and bigotry.

 

If it weren't for the fact that real people are going to suffer, it would be a very interesting test of the system. So far, checks and balances is working ok relative to the judiciary. (Gutsy call by the WA AG for sure, and good work by his team. As any Buffalonian knows, enough snowflakes will bury you - don't mess with them.

The guys a horse are you kidding? First indication was his campaign. Non stop several cities a day. Now as president he gets 4 hours of sleep. Started working well before the inauguration. I don't get it. The lazy pos we just endured for 8 years did nothing but golf, vacation and regurgitate pre written bullshite off a teleprompter . Fvck, he had nothing to do with his Obamacare mess. The insurance industry wrote that thing up. All he did was market it.

There's nothing, and I mean nothing, new here. It's more unnamed sources -- though this article claims they were "US intelligence officials" while the source report, CNN, makes it clear they're US investigators not officially linked to the IC and the IC has refused to comment on this. It's a weak story.

 

Reading with discernment is important.

and how are Americans suffering?

 

I suspect by suffering she meant job opportunities for African Americans will drop to their worst level in years, and teen unemployment will skyrocket, and the search for a simple job will be squashed by Trump hamburger vending machines, and US student performances will not even surpass those in Zaire. Health insurance rates will skyrocket for everyone. Billions will be spent on infrastructure work that doesn't exist, and travel bans will be put in place against people from the ME while we cozy up to Russia, and the gap between the rich and the poor will get even greater as the top 1% grab all they can from laundered federal funds to keep for their own "foundations" while our military overseas will be left for dead at US Embassies.

 

It's going to be horrible, and there will be nothing the American people can do but gather together to vote out the ingrate who made all this possible.

 

Hey, waaaaaaait a minute...

:lol: Is that even English?

 

It's a garbage report, poorly sourced and filled with errors.

Even edited this is incoherent.

 

The issue with that story is that it makes several errors right at the top: saying it's US Intelligence officials making these claims (even CNN, this story's source, says that's wrong) while omitting that officials in the IC have refused to comment.

 

It's more unnamed sources written up to make simple minded folk think they're speaking on behalf of the IC.

You keep falling for it.

 

Here's the source the Independent is using: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/10/politics/russia-dossier-update/index.html

 

Notice the differences.
