Wow! That's a pretty bold statement.

 

I am very interested as to what brought you to that opinion.

 

Would you be so kind as to list what you view as your most important reasons for coming to such a passionate conclusion?

That's rich.

 

A christian university invites a known sexual predator and womanizer for it's commencement speaker.

 

And this speaker's first wife (of three), Ivana was granted a divorce in December 1990 on grounds that his treatment of her was "cruel and inhuman"

 

Is there no shame?

The students attendance was compulsory, even the organisation with in the school  opposed to Trump for moral  reasons was required to attend under threat of retribution.

All that from a school named Liberty. and you are asking "is there no shame"

White House Job For Schwab Heiress Raises New Ethics Questions For Trump

 

Samantha Schwab, the 21-year-old granddaughter of brokerage billionaire Charles Schwab, has been working in the Trump White House Office of Legislative Affairs.

Controversial Oval Office meeting was held at Putin’s request

 

Why in the world did Donald Trump welcome Russian officials into the Oval Office this week, the day after the president fired FBI Director James Comey over his investigation into the Russian scandal? A White House spokesman said this week Trump hosted the gathering “because [Vladimir Putin] asked him to.”

Trump must be impeached. Here’s why.

 

 

The time has come for Congress to launch an impeachment investigation of President Trump for obstruction of justice.

The remedy of impeachment was designed to create a last-resort mechanism for preserving our constitutional system. It operates by removing executive-branch officials who have so abused power through what the framers called “high crimes and misdemeanors” that they cannot be trusted to continue in office.

As FBI closes in, Donald Trump writes off his longtime close friend Roger Stone as a “hanger-on”

 

By all accounts, Donald Trump and Roger Stone have been close personal friends for the better part of their lives. Stone served as an informal campaign adviser to Trump during the election. Stone also now admits that he had repeated contact with Guccifer 2.0, the Russian government hacker who stole emails from the Democratic National Committee and released them at a time which strategically benefited Donald Trump.

So where in that article was any mention of something that lived up to the billing of an atomic bomb?


I meant about the thinking behind the headline, not whether or not it was truthful and or appropriate.
Why in the world did Donald Trump welcome Russian officials into the Oval Office this week, the day after the president fired FBI Director James Comey over his investigation into the Russian scandal?


The payoff?

'Justice' Preview: Trump Says It's a 'Good Idea' to End Daily Press Briefings

The Election Is Over, but Trump Can’t Seem to Get Past It

 

"WASHINGTON — In the small dining room next to the Oval Office where he works much of the time, President Trump keeps a stack of color-coded maps of the United States representing the results of the 2016 election."

 

"Mr. Trump sometimes hands the maps out to visitors as a kind of parting gift, and a framed portrait-size version was hung on a wall in the West Wing last week."

 

"At the root of Mr. Trump’s unpredictable presidency, according to people close to him, is a deep frustration about attacks on his legitimacy, and a worry that Washington does not see him as he sees himself."

Isn't it the Trumpeteers who constantly say the opposition can't get over the election? :whistling:

 

Here, would you like to take a map?

Gingrich urges Trump: ‘Close down the press room’

 

"Former Speaker Newt Gingrich is urging President Trump to follow through on his threat to cancel daily White House press briefings, accusing news media of being "dishonest opponents" of the president."

 

"What they ought to do is get out of all this junk, they ought to focus on the big goals, they ought to report to the nation on the big goals, ignore all these reporters, close down the press room, send the reporters off [to Starbucks]," Gingrich said on Fox News's "Hannity."

 

"Maybe say to the American people – send in your questions, we'll take the best five questions and we'll answer them by name."

 

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/333244-gingrich-urges-trump-close-down-the-press-room

 

Gingrich; the arrogant clown forced to resign.

Right.

Let's take your advice.

The walls are closing in...

The doors are continuing to close for Americans and their cherished rights.  Chinese and Thai leaders understand completely - they're probably grinning knowingly.   

 

One of the next steps for Trump and his goose-stepping buddies:  enact a strangle-grip on the internet.

                              More indications that Kushner and Ivanka were in cahoots with Trump's money-laundering, and their meetings with Rybolovlev.  We'll be hearing Rybolovlev's name a lot more in upcoming news reports.  He's the Russian Oligarch who bought Trump's FL property for many times its value, but has never visited the place.  He has other big-money entanglements with the Trumps and Kushners.

                   Even more important than staying the WH, is Trump's fixation on protecting his own ass and those of his daughter and son-in-law.   The Comey firing is just a blip on the screen.  Expect a lot more craziness from a very desperate and cornered man.

TRUMP BUSINESS PARTNER ACCUSED OF INVOLVEMENT IN DUTCH-BASED MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME

 

"The American real estate development company Bayrock, through which Donald Trump constructed hotels and apartment complexes, used Dutch letter box companies in a network suspected of being involved in money laundering."

 

"In New York, Bayrock also stands accused of large-scale tax fraud."

 

"This incriminating information could place Donald Trump in an extremely difficult position, claims attorney F. Oberlander, who is prosecuting Bayrock on behalf of the State of New York: “The maximum jail term would be 30 years. So you’re in really serious trouble.”

Where is the "mainstream" media in all of this? Nothing in CNN this morning.

It seems like they are waiting for conformation from the whitehouse that Trump is corrupt.

Potentially much worse than Watergate as Nixon respected US institutions much more than trump. It may not be possible to ever remove him / reverse the damage. I wouldn't rule out a trumpist coup with martial law to permanently destroy all US democratic institutions. Our democracy is much more fragile than we realized.

You wouldn't rule out any nonsense, as long as it "makes noise" (as advised on a quoted article appearing in another post).

 

A "trumpist coup"? "Martial law"? Somehow not seeing the US Army, the National Guard, the FBI, State police and other security agencies going along with this. Not on the strength of Trump's shambles of a presidency. To be clear, I don't think some on Trump's camp would mind the prospect, but quite a ways from pulling it though. If anything, it's easier to imagine the same scenario in the opposite direction.

We're doing this again.

In my opinion, you're not thinking this through and/or don't see the potential evil of trump. 
How could trump do such a thing?

In a war scenario. Prompted by a terrorist attack, whether real or not.

I really don't get your POV.

In my opinion, you still hold on to the fantasy that trump is just another president that acts predictably. 

Anyone watching just the events of the last week would understand differently. 

It's an objective reality that trump has strong authoritarian tendencies. It doesn't take all that much imagination to consider if/when pushed against the wall, he may go full on with that. 

Yes it is a big TEST of the American democracy if we can manage to keep such a dark force in check. So far, mixed results. Look at the republican party .. most weak and shameful reactions to his outrages. 
Whenever dark forces arise in history there are always voices saying, it's not that bad, it can't possibly get that bad. I put you in that camp. In the fullness of time, you may be right, but you're quite potentially wrong.
