The noose is tightening:
"Former Trump adviser Flynn pleads guilty to lying to FBI"
"The fact that Flynn was charged with, and is pleading guilty to, such a minor crime, suggests a bombshell of a deal with prosecutors," said Cornell law professor Jens Ohlin. "Flynn was facing serious criminal liability for a variety of alleged missteps, including his failure to register as an agent of a foreign power. If this is the entirety of the plea deal, the best explanation for why Mueller would agree to it is that Flynn has something very valuable to offer in exchange: damaging testimony on someone else.”

Are there no contempt of court laws in the US? At the very least, Trump has once again jeopardised any chance of a fair appeal.

To decent Americans, yes, it is. However, the minority that support the orange clown TROLL (about 35 percent) are of course as shameless as he is.
Up till a while ago I would have mildly disagreed with you, and argued that there may be some who still support him for his "independent ways". However, the threads on this topic in particular have changed that. There are no excuses for supporting such a downright nasty, bigotted buffoon. Anyone originally on his bandwagon, in the hope that he would shake up the system (in a constructive way), was misguided, but could get the benefit of the doubt. I think many hoped that his actions during the campaign were just bluster, and he would settle down once in the White House, rather than actually acting worse. However, anyone still on it, clinging to the sides as the swamp of his support drains following the revealing of his true self, is indeed as shameless, deplorable, and as lacking in basic humanity as he is.

Having an Idiot for a President, must be embarrassing for the US.
There have been idiots before, and no doubt will again. What makes Trump stand out is that he has raised misogyny, racism, hate speech, lying, bigotry, prejudism and sheer nastiness to new highs, or rather lows. This goes well beyond the choices at the election, or supporting one or other political party, this is all about how he has conducted himself as POTUS. He is the anti-POTUS, as far from acting with dignity, respect for the position and humility as it is possible to be, and is one of the greatest threats to world peace and stability we have seen for a long time. The Trump threads are full of banter, with some pointing out his shortcomings (to say the least) and others applauding his "mavericness" (to coin a term), and although heated at times can still be a laugh, however, some of the comments made in this, and the other thread on this topic, trying to support this act are nothing short of disgusting.

They have been becoming more of a joke over recent months with hardly any support and a laughing stock due to their ridiculous made up videos and statements on social media. Unfortunately this sort of ‘support’ from Trump will give them new impetus to spread their vile ideology.
This is a picture from their latest demo in London.

trump's tweets get even more childish and bizarre. Time for an intervention? The baby man president is so incredibly TOXIC but I'll give him some credit for being TOXIC in original ways for a president. Call him "modern" TOXIC?
"Donald Trump's malignant narcissism is toxic: Psychologist
Under a malignantly narcissistic leader, alternate facts, conspiracy theories, racism, science denial and delegitimization of the press become not only acceptable but also the new normal. If we do not confront this evil, it will consume us."
His narcissism is a long term affliction, as this letter from his "secretary" to the New Yorker magazine in 1992 shows. He can't change his (lack of) style, even when pretending to be someone else:

It's a real shame that Kim Jong Il, with his famous 38 under par round, isn't still around to challenge Trump. Watching the two cheat their way around a golf course would be comedy gold.

Now, just hours after Flynn decided to negotiate a plea deal against Trump, Trump is suddenly on the phone with the leader of Turkey. It gets stranger.
He was just asking for thanks for his pardoning of certain birds referred to earlier.

Much as dash-cams have pretty much become the norm for evidence of driving wrong doing, I can see the day when we will all need to carry personal video and audio recording devices to do the same in our daily lives. Particularly for encounters with the opposite sex. This will allow anyone attempting to abuse their power to be accused and charged the first time they try it, thus preventing further attempts on others, and will also prevent fraudulent accusations being made against them. Some may find it all "Big Sister is watching you", but sadly, the way the world is going, giving up some personal freedoms in order to preserve your own freedom, or at least reputation and career, seems to be the only way to go.

Donald Trump has an inflated view of his assets. The president’s family business is worth about one-tenth of the value he has claimed, according to an analysis of the latest figures he has filed with the federal government.
12 hours ago, Thakkar said:Yeah, Skywalker. Trump was elected on a hateful message of misogyny, racism, assholery, bluster and buffoonery. As long as he keeps all that up, he’s good with his base.
It turns out he was lying about that too. He's actually 10 times the misogynist, racist, blustering buffoon he came across as back then.

Comment to the Thai originators !!! You are lucky we do have Lese Majeste law as here. The Queens proper title is her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second and her Prince Consort ,HRH Prince Phillip .
if we had shortened the Thai Royal titles we would all be up before a Military court, learn some manners please.
God bless HM and her husband
The OP is from Reuters with reporting "by Michael Holden; Editing by Stephen Addison", so take your Thai bashing chip off your shoulders.

I look forward to seeing the Queen send Philip a telegram for his hundreth birthday in four years' time, and then sending herself one five years later. Congratulations to them both.

In the case of this president, either no one would notice, or it would be an improvement. Nothing to lose. Bring in Krusty. Sideshow Bob for AG.
