So, the big question for Trump is: was it stormy or just a squall?
She has said, in interviews, that Don 'big red button' Trump wasn't much in bed. He pranced around the room in his underwear. Her quote: "he's no Fabio". Stormy's best friend (at the time) said Stormy told her Trump refuses to use a condom. Poor Melania. Pathogens don't give a crap about who's rich or famous.

In what way did Trump cheat? He didn't win the popular vote but that is down to the system of voting in the US. If you don't like the 1st past the post system then change it, don't whinge about the rules of the game after it has been played.
Teatree asks: "in what way did Trump cheat?"
answer: That's what Mueller's team is finding out. Congressional committees are also supposed to be looking into it, but they're stymied by being chaired by Republican partisan boot-lickers.
There are many answers to your Q, but to name just one: Roger Stone, hired by Trump's campaign, has admitted communicating often with Gucifer 2.0, and Assange (both Russian agents). Stone's emails will prove it, and that's why Nunberg was so spooked in the many interviews he did 2 days ago. It will be v. interesting to see what's pertinent in those hundreds of emails. Note: Manafort has been bosom buddies with Stone and a biz partner for many years. Stone and Nunberg will try to hide and/or delete those emails, but people-who-know-more-than-I surmise that their email servers (cache?) will have them.

You can take .01 kilo of fingernail clippings and .01 kilo of rhino horn, grind them each to a powder - number the samples, and have experts drink a tea (or drop a cap).....and see if they can tell one from the other. They couldn't.
Chinese don't know how to do blind scientific tests. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare do a double-blind test to gauge whether rhino horn has any different effect than fingernail clippings. Same for testing whether ground-up tiger bone has any difference from ground-up dog bone. .....or tiger penis, compared to dog penis.
Chinese, 50 times more than any other ethnic group, are contributing to the extinction of several large beasts. Disgusting.
.....and the primary reason is: Chinese men have trouble getting hard-ons. Doubly disgusting.

from the OP...
Sessions accused Democratic Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf of actively seeking to help illegal immigrants avoid ICE.
Last month, Schaaf issued a statement alerting local residents that ICE agents were preparing to conduct an operation in the area, saying it was her moral obligation. A few days later, ICE announced the arrest of more than 150 people for immigration violations in the San Francisco-Oakland area, saying about half had additional criminal convictions.
The White House has called Schaaf's actions "outrageous" and said the Justice Department was reviewing the matter.
"Here's my message for Mayor Schaaf: How dare you. How dare you needlessly endanger the lives of law enforcement officers to promote your radical open-borders agenda," Sessions said on Wednesday.
Sessions also called Democratic California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom an "embarrassment" for supporting the mayor's actions.Interesting. It reminds me of the stand off between Federal agents and State agents re; allowing black children to go to a school.
It was ALABAMA (Session's home state), but the roles were reversed. In the 1963 situation, it was the state which forbade black students from attending the whites-only school - and it was the feds (JFK and his brother Bobby) which directed federal officers to go there to physically escort little black kids into the school.

She likes HRC and expressed an opinion. That's completely different than the concerted and sustained vindictive campaign by Russian agents did re; the election campaign.

You guys crack me up with your double standards.
Yes. There's a difference between pretending to touch a fully-clothed grown woman's breast, and seducing mid-teen girls. Some illegal things are more dire than other illegal things.
Interesting to see what 'cracks you up.' Perhaps Putin picking the US's Sec. of State Tillerson cracks you up also.

16 minutes ago, mok199 said:thais lack of genuine respect for their own country..
I tend to agree, though it's hard to gauge respect.
Lots of Thais do admire and respect their country - and it's natural for people to have that sort of provincial allegiance, no matter where they're brought up.
A Thai women friend in her 60's mentioned hiking long distances across Thailand with her kids and grandkids. She said it with a twinkle in her eye, as if Thailand was quaint villages, wildlife, farmers singing in their fields, etc. That's a Thailand which (partly) existed many decades ago. The harsh reality is: Thailand is fast changing toward US/Europe/China type modernity, and that runaway growth isn't quaint or pretty.
That's why, when I take a break, I go to parts of Burma, which still have a modicum of quaintness - no shopping malls, and people actually mill around in the evenings and talk/mingle/gossip with each other. On the Thai side of the border in a Town the same size, the streets are nearly empty in the evenings. Thais are sitting alone staring at screens; handheld devices or TVs/computers.
There are practically no wild mammals other than rats or bats in Thailand - outside of a rare few in one or two small protected parks. Thais want a wholesome landscape with some parks and wildlife, but moneyed interests are scraping rural areas at frantic speeds. Parks and and natural spaces, for Thais, are way down on their list of priorities.
My adopted town of Chiang Rai is doubling in size every 7 years or so. If you were to look from 5 miles above, you'd see a thick brown ring around the city (used to be a town) which is getting wider each year. That brown is exposed clay from earth moving machines. Same is happening in nearly every town/city in Thailand.

Merkel's 2nd most important job (#1 being PM for Germany) is trying to keep Trump from causing too many problems for Europe. Since the 19th Century, the US has always been friends with Europe and worked (sometimes fighting) together to improve things. Now, with Trump as US prez, the dynamic has changed - for the worse - particularly with Trump being bosom buddies with Vlad The Interferer.
On a side note, did the Brits officially withdraw their invite to Trump? I hope so.

Yeah, I never understood his appeal to people myself.
Americans like mavericks. They put bank robbers on pedestals - like Jesse James, Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, and so on. You see it in the movies. It's reinforced from the time an American baby is in pampers.
Trump appeared to fit that mold for weak-minded people. They already liked that he was v. rich and had pretty g.f.'s. They thought he was tough when he starred in the Apprentice. Actually, that wasn't his office, and all the firing on TV was all pre-planned by script writers. He just played the part, similar to how he's playing the part of president now. Badly.
To Trump, being prez is a game, and 30% of Americans don't seem to mind. They don't mind that he grabs women by the genitals and comes on to married women 'like a bitch'. They don't mind that he changes his ideas hour by hour, or that he toys with (jokes about) the idea of starting WWIII. He may also have venereal disease and passed it on to Melania. Right Wingers, Bible-Thumpers, Neo Nazis would have no problem with that either.

Getting out of the Paris climate agreement ,getting out of the TPP, renegotiating NAFTA,to electing a SCJ,tax reform for the the people who were paying way to much taxes and putting it back in their pay checks, raining in big government spending like on social programs,cutting jobs in gov agencies , 2 million reduction in food stamp recipients, bringing attention to eliminating or changing of any kind of immigration law,ending the ISIS Caliphate,doing away with OB care mandate,cutting many federal regulations on business.taking on Iran,taking on NK,making nato pay their fair share,creating jobs.31% increase in the stock market from his first year.
And most importantly the number 1 accomplishment is showing American's how corrupt and bias Washington and politics are and to be careful of bias news sources.
Tweeting wasn't how government worked before either.Good way of getting your message out.
If Trump put action to words and wanted to clean up politics in DC, he would advocate for taking big money out of political campaigns. Nearly all Americans are in favor of that. But Trump and the Reps can't ever say no to big money propping them up. NRA alone (out of hundreds of other big money interests) stuffed $33 million into Trump's campaign. Trump campaigned against using Goldman Sachs (remember how he chided Cruz and Cruz's wife about that?) ....yet went and stuffed his cabinet/advisors with GS millionaires. If that was Trump's only lie, the USA would be doing OK, .....but because Trump lies every day and proposes policies which hurt the USA.....

I hope Mueller doesn't hold back. He is a Republican, after all, and is under immense pressure from Trump and right wingers to constrict and terminate the investigation.

Politically, Obama had a tougher row to hoe than Trump has now. Particularly in Obama's 2nd term, Republicans (who had a majority in Congress) dragged their feet on everything. It's a minor miracle that Health Care passed - enabling millions more Americans to get basic health care.

Really is mind blowing how you guys in this thread are so tone deaf to your own divisive actions, feel completely blameless, and see nothing wrong with the actions of Obama and Hillary that caused Trump to happen in the first place. The arrogance and overall vindictiveness of liberals just makes others dig in deeper.
Boo hoo hoo .....always trying to blame Obama and HRC for Trump's many failings. The guy is 71 years old - you protect him like he's a 245 lb baby. He is who he is, a dangerous dufus. Get real.

The people who elected President Trump did something that has never occurred before by electing a president with not one days experience in an elected public office position. His presidency has broken the political paradigm, which is okay by me.
How would you like to have a liver transplant performed by a lone surgeon who never had any training or experience in surgery?
You like the Trump Train (to use your words). To extend the analogy, the Trump train has been off the tracks since day 1 (since he swore on a Bible to 'uphold the laws of the land') ....which he obviously not doing. He's breaking laws every day. Would you like a list? It's long, and I don't want to get carpal tunnel.

Well, not quite a river of blood YET, in the good ol' US of A. .....but gun addicts are itching for any flimsy excuse to go out and start shooting. They're chomping at the bit. Just read some of their rantings on right-wing YouTube response columns.
There was a tribe of American Indians, I think it was the Commanchees, which had an odd ritual where a brave (young man) went through a ritual where he had to spend a number of days doing everything contrarian. He had to speak backwards, walk backwards, say things which were the opposite to accepted norms, etc. ...as part of an initiation. Right wingers are like that: they relish twisting the truth, and turning things on their head. "Obama is a Kenyan Muslim" "Trade wars are good" "A two-time wife beater in the Oval Office is great for America." "Trump never sexually abused the 14 women who accused him - in fact, he says 'nobody respects women more than I do.'" Trump campaigned by repeatedly telling the lie that "Hillary is going to take your guns away, believe me." Of course that was never true. But last week, Trump announced he would take guns away from Americans. Right wingers won't believe that (because they're famously either in denial and/or aren't abreast of the news) ....but it's plain in a video.

We agree the US is divided more than anytime since the 1950's (McCarthyism) or the 1850's (Civil War). There's one word which sums up why: TRUMP
But he has a lot of help from people like Ailes, Stone, the NRA, Murdoch (who is Australian), Hannity, and dozens of others who make careers out of dividing Americans.

It's interesting, to me, that most of the responses on this thread, make denigrating references to her because she's an attractive young female and is involved with the sex business.
In case you haven't noticed, there are many people involved in the sex business, in any city. Granted, not all of them are pretty young women, but here are a few:
>>> liquor biz
>>> discos
>>> condoms
>>> ky jelly, and numerous other sex-aides
>>> sex mags, sex internet sites, movies-with-sex
>>> bar owners/managers/workers
When there are news articles mentioning any of the people in businesses listed above, ....where are all the bottom-feeding allusions to sex - from T.Visa members? Oh, I get it, because she's an attractive young female, and there's a photo of her showing some skin, the guys on T.Visa all of a sudden attack her as a flake who is on the make and incapable of telling the truth. ....and incapable of having any info that may be pertinent to the people embroiled in the Trump-Russia imbroglio.

Unsolicited note to Tillerson: it doesn't matter what you say to Turkish or other leaders overseas, none of it carries much significance. Trump can contradict you in a NY minute with one little tweet. Sorry Rex, all your efforts at appearing wise and knowledgeable go up in smoke, when Trump counters what you say. Fools led by fools.

There are at least a dozen people close to Trump who will likely write tell-all books. One already has, .....Wolff.
John Dean stepped up, defied the prez of the time (and his boss) and had the courage to tell what anyone else would have covered-up. He even did prison time, to stand up for what was right. In my view, he's a hero.
Melania only seems to care about prestige and money. I don't see her doing anything remotely heroic. I wouldn't doubt she's told Don 100 times she wants a divorce, but is compelled to stick with it, as long as he's prez, for appearances.
