Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had his bail revoked today and he's headed to jail. That should be a huge news story, but as usual there is so much chaos going on, it's just one story of many.
The clock is ticking on Cochen's indictment...
The state of New York also filed a 41 page lawsuit against the Trump Foundation. It is alleged that they took money into this "charity", often given by the public for veterans, and funneled it to his campaign. Which of course is illegal.
Then of course hell froze over:
So the #IGREPORT proves what?

1. The FBI was right to decide not to charge Hillary with a crime.
2. That decision wasn't motivated by political bias or improper considerations.
3. James Comey made mistakes.
4. Those mistakes helped Trump win.
Sounds like Hillary got screwed.

I’d take Axl and Bucket. The rest can fuck off. Axl was like a different person altogether. Weird how a few years can make such a drastic difference.
I'm seeing Bucket tomorrow at Hard Rock.

Looks like it's only a matter of time before Trump's lawyer, Cohen, gets arrested.
An interesting note about Trump's visit with Kim btw...
An article written by the WSJ about six months ago included a segment about Trump wanting to end military exercises in South Korea after Putin suggested it to him during a meeting. Most rational people would consider this alarming. I certainly do.
Around the same time, Mr. Trump had an idea about how to counter the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, which he got after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin : If the U.S. stopped joint military exercises with the South Koreans, it could help moderate Kim Jong Un’s behavior.

We've got a president who seems hell bent on disrupting western democracy, insulting our allies, starting trade wars and taking foreign policy pointers from Putin. Is it any wonder he doesn't see any issue with Crimea?
When he's not doing this, he's complimenting ruthless dictators like Kim Jung Un, Erdogan, and Duterte. It's clear that Trump despises democracy and everything it stands for, he loves dictators and is drawn to them.
With Cohen about to go down, who is left? I'd bet he cooperates with Mueller. Nobody is going to spend the rest of their life in jail for Trump's sorry dictator-wanna-be-ass.

Trump is an embarrassment. But more than anything, he proved he's Putin's little puppet this last week. He seems intent on destroying western democracies and creating chaos with our allies while coddling strong men. I can't believe I'm watching our president do this.
Your wrong-headed protectionist policies & antics are damaging our global standing as well as our national interests. Your worldview does not represent American ideals. To allies & friends: Be patient, Mr. Trump is a temporary aberration. The America you once knew will return. https://t.co/7qHthq2GuT

TRUMP disgraced the Presidency and the United States at the G-7 summit. From his slovenly appearance to his unpreparedness, ignorance and arrogance, he beclowned himself. The Republican majority is filled with cowards who are servile supplicants to the most unfit POTUS ever

Anybody see Trump lash out at our allies and say that Russia should be allowed to rejoin the G7? This is mind boggling.
Putin is getting a great ROI here.

I am ready for Sessions to go.
I never thought of him as evil, just a racist dick.
But this is evil.

Taking children away from their parents (some as young as 18 months old) and shipping them away...that's some real Nazi shit right there. Heartless and cruel.
And Trump wants everybody to stand for the flag huh?
#369 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 376 weeks ago
More indictments today. This time additional trouble for Manafort as well as Konstantin Kilimnik, Manafort's pal who has ties to Russian Intelligence.
So the "Witch Hunt" is up to 20 indictments so far.
