Well he was elected President of the United States so he can't be that much of a fool.  Your personal hatred is a bit OTT and many millions of Americans support him so maybe things will calm down and none of us know how this will turn out

Oh, but I do...with a whimper or a bang - but not at all well.

Sounds like some kind of revelation is coming and Trump is trying to get ahead of it and change the narrative to an attack on Obama.

That's what his hysteria would indicate.

"It would have meant that the Justice Department had gathered sufficient evidence to persuade a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe he had committed a serious crime or was an agent of a foreign power, depending on whether it was a criminal investigation or a foreign intelligence one."

The curve he's trying to get ahead of might just well be a tsunami wave.

Oh my, just what has Trump let of out of the bag:

"It would have meant that the Justice Department had gathered sufficient evidence to persuade a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe he had committed a serious crime or was an agent of a foreign power, depending on whether it was a criminal investigation or a foreign intelligence one."

Seems like the dog has bitten it's own tail.

Good job for you nobody kicked your forefathers asses back to where they had come from. The irony! A nation founded on Genocide and theft of land now claims other immigrants to be illegal. If your idea of laws had been in place 300 years ago then America would only be populated by Indigenous people..............and Buffalo - what a nice thought.  You are not an indigenous person, your rights are based on genocide and theft committed by your ancestors. But you carry on convincing yourself that you have a right to be there but other immigrants do not. The settlers were ALL illegal immigrants.

Easy friend - I'm not advocating the line of reasoning presented, nor am I in any way a supporter of the policies that would be based on it.

This Wall for which only $20 million has been found, is not now and never will be a "real" thing - Trump might build some crappy Wallish type thing, but it won't stop people crossing the border. No, the Wall is a symbol, a great big signifier, for all that Trump supporters hold dear and all that they dislike. The wall stands for these things, it's a shorthand way to refer to them. When you argue about or against the wall you're not, in their ears, talking of the wall but The Wall - the cluster of love and hate objects orbiting around Trump supporters' heads and hearts. Love (and Hate) are priceless - $20 Million or $40 billion, it makes no difference (to them.)

This is nothing like confiscating all assets and deporting you is it?

No, not really.

Here's the reasoning that the administration is apparently using: Just as we can confiscate without trial and without recourse assets thought to have been acquired due to the drug trade,  we should be able confiscate all assets acquired as a consequence of  illegal residence in the US. The assets can stay in the US to build the wall and those who acquired the assets can have their backsides kicked to the other side of it.

Got to make up the shortfall in funding. There has been talk of confiscation of all assets held by undocumented migrants at internment/concentration prior to physical expulsion from the country.

“Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?”

“No,” Sessions responded.

Now all it will take is for intercepts of the Russian Ambassador's communications to confirm that the confabulation did indeed cover the 2016 election.

A blow job isn't sexual relations and Sessions was talking only about issues NOT related to the 2016 election. Sure, sure.

This stink will get worse. Sessions is bankrupt.

This stink will stick. There is now nothing, absolutely nothing, that this administration can do that will not be read - rightly - through the prism of these verified connections with the Russian Government and security services. Anywhere there is a Russian interest involved, this administration cannot be trusted. Sad. What might now appear to be a mole that can be cut, looks like it might turn out to be a metastasized melanoma. Could be terminal.

 

What other Security Services have been aware of these contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians?

 

Remember when Trump accused Cruz's father of being involved in the Kennedy assassination? Wouldn't surprise me if the Russians put that idea into his golden hued (and showered) head.

Told ya.

Now with Sessions,  this mole is looking more and more like a metastasizing melanoma.

So both the National Security Advisor and the Attorney General have been shown to have lied about their Russian Romances.

Commerce Secretary? Do we have one yet?

 LOL. Yeah, Trump is surrounded by the left in his Ovulating Office. Ridiculous. Enemies from within, I say. 

Looks like it was one the idiots in the room with Trump when the call was made. Thought it would make them look tough. An own goal so to speak. There is now no ally who does not understand they will be collateral damage to this administration's presentation issues and 'value signalling'. .As the sun sets on the American Century, isolation and hysteria sets in. It's enough to make one weep.

Not exactly.  He has agreed to take them for vetting and and this will take months.  If they dont pass the process then he doednt take them.  What's the odds they dont pass?  He has still kept his end of the agreement.

Bloody hell, Australia has been "vetting" them for what, 5 years? "Very, very, extreme vetting" might take another 20.  Since Trump knows that these people are very bad Hombres maybe he can house them in Guantanamo? Conditions probably a bit worse, but the terms of the imprisonment don't seem to be that different.

Australia changed as a result of the immigrants. The immigrants changed as a result of living in the Australian culture. The process was sometimes messy. I see nothing different about immigrants who follow Islam.

 

The immigrants you are talking about were mostly Christian with compatible lifestyles and capitalist and democratic values.

Nonsense. Most of them are from India, China, Vietnam and other parts of Asia. Lot's of English and New Zealanders too, but they don't qualify as Christians - well, good ones anyway.

No hope at all. You can't impeach the guy just because he is a dick head. He needs to break some laws and hanging up on a guy doesn't qualify. I lost a lot of respect for the DT today though.

Does his hair breaking the Laws of Nature qualify?

The Aussies are all in a huff about this. Seem to be pretty pissed off. Funny thing is that it's the Aussie Nationalists that are most pissed off, and they're the one's who's views most correspond to Trump's. 

Imagine if Trump pulled this sort of BS on that other Aussie Prime Minister Keating. 

Imagine getting a security briefing from your own intelligence agencies on your own perfidy.

Sure. If it he thought it would be momentarily popular. after it became unpopular he'd claim he had nothing to do with it and call Veterans weak and those veterans injured, losers.

 What happens if someone dies during their presidency, do they have fresh elections, or does the deputy take over for the rest of the tenure? 

The British Prime Minister takes over as President. Didn't you know?

Brings back memories of Bush vs Gore in Florida. Bush proved himself to be about the worst president ever. Its another reason the Republicans want to stack the Supreme Court. It did not let them down then. Hello Chad how are they hanging?

How well I recall the aftermath of the 2000 election. If I recall correctly the vociferous voices of the Republican party and their associated media wing were in unison in saying "you lost, get used to it". I wonder if they will be saying the same thing tomorrow with, of course, the substitution of "you" by "we".

And without the evidence to accuse somebody is a man or a woman is damaging and it’s

That's a quote from Melania Trump! I knew it! Neither man or woman, neither fish nor fowl. She's nuts. The evidence is that he said he grabs women, non consenting women, by their pussy and then women come out and confirm that he did what he said he did. Now she's pissed off because women are confirming that what Trump said is True! What a twisted world. She's bent, and like I said there is evidence that people say that she's off her face 24/7 - kinda like Tony Montana's wife in Scarface. I've not heard anyone prove that it isn't true so it must be.

That's right Melania, STAND BY YOUR MAN. Same as Hillary did when her husband blew it. Ten years from now they'll all be making fun of you for this decision, if not sooner!

The thing you might want to remember is that your husband cheated on wife #1 with the soon to become wife #2. You are wife #3.  Seeing a trend there?

Her husband didn't blow it, he was blown. This is a distinction hard to make for Donald Trump as it's his own appendage in his mouth.

I thought her comment about "boy" talk was spot on - adolescent boy talk, that is. The sort you hear from some poor kid who's just lost his virginity and is terrified he'll never have sex again, so he's busy boasting to everyone who'll listen what a great stud he is

Yes, it's easy to imagine Trump holding up his hand and saying "come on Bushy, smell my fingers".

yeah it sort of makes you wonder - for those trumpettes crying that the GOP establishment is colluding with the traditionally republican newspapers and hillary clinton to ensure trump's defeat, why didn't the republican establishment knobble him back in the primaries? why didn't they rig that election? because that would surely have been a simpler exercise than trying to rig a presidential election.

People who believe that verifiable, factual and real increases in global temperatures represent iron clad evidence that a cabal of scientists, the UN and International Socialist are perpetrating a hoax of Biblical proportion can easily be convinced that the electorate's disgust and dislike of Trump's idiocy and venality is evidence of voter fraud on a cosmic scale. It is, as they say, a matter of proportion. These shitsippers are the perfect examples of people unable to take RESPONSIBILITY for their own actions and choices. Funny that they hang that one on "inner city people". Bunch of fartmasters.

Was this a major issue for the Trump campaign earlier?

Did it come up during the primary election campaign?

Were all those cases of election fraud beneficial exclusively for democrat candidates?

No. Trump accused Cruz of election fraud during the primaries. Any time he's losing it must, by definition, be the result of fraud. How else to explain how something so perfect can lose?
