President Donald Trump

[ojo]

Jared Kushner called the CEO of Lockheed Martin this week and told them to accept less money from the Saudis for a missile radar system so that the Saudi Royal Family would approve it before Trump visited. He told her to consider it a personal favor and to look into what she needed to do to make it happen because they needed to "get this done today."

Not technically illegal, but lol at the White House pressuring a U.S. company to lose money in order to help the Saudi Royal Family and give Trump a talking point before a speech.

Trump channeling his inner Seinfeld:

"What's the deal with airline food? I mean we all know it's bad but you don't have to blow up the plane."

[awy]

that thaad thing is not that bad. it's legitimate negotiations.

it could also be motivated by some saudi cash though so :shrug:

Just like clockwork. Special counsel named? Trump just asked for an escalation in the campaign vs. ISIS

President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

This clown actually thought firing Comey would end the Russian investigation

If 45* is thinking he'll get a break from the US press and skate easy with the foreign press he's mistaken.

In some ways we're so lucky he's this stupid because imagine how corrupt he could be if he was smart??

Calling Comey a nut job is some serious irony.

Calling Comey a nut job is some serious irony.

All he does is project his own flaws onto whoever he's insulting at the time. He's worse than a 7 year old.

Every. Single. Time.

I'd have much preferred competent corruption to the incompetent variety we have now.

The law enforcement investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign has identified a current White House official as a significant person of interest, showing that the probe is reaching into the highest levels of government, according to people familiar with the matter.

The senior White House adviser under scrutiny by investigators is someone close to the president, according to these people, who would not further identify the official.

Interesting. Kushner, perhaps?

[awy]

yea kushner

but really. If u know trump and ny real estate in general this is no surprise

clintons were 'corrupt' in the sense that they developed personal ambitions within the confines of the system.

basically a student that would go hard on study group politics and maybe sabotage a few classmates. trump is like buying diplomas

maybe if you are really hung up on simplistic moralizing where any violation of moral purity is equal to hitler, but in terms of real world impact the two are vastly different

Probably a more highly developed moral code, too.

Why do you get so defensive whenever someone takes a shot at Hillary?

It's bordering on creepy. Like fantasizing-about-you-and-her-together creepy.

"Oh Hillary-- violate me like I'm a federal law."

Relax man.

Washington (CNN) - White House lawyers have begun researching impeachment procedures in an effort to prepare for what officials still believe is a distant possibility that President Donald Trump could have to fend off attempts to remove him from office, two people briefed on the discussions tell CNN.
