Trump isn't afraid of Elizabeth Warren. But he should be.

"The Massachusetts senator, whose presidential campaign almost self-destructed before it began over her clumsy use of DNA testing in a pointless argument about whether she is descended from Native Americans, has picked herself up and fought her way into third place, or a third-place tie, or a close fourth, among Democrats in recent polls. This was as unexpected as the simultaneous rise into serious contention of Pete Buttigieg, an unknown Midwestern mayor in a same-sex marriage. Warren is a tenacious campaigner but an inexperienced candidate who got rattled by Donald Trump’s “Pocahontas” gibes; she has a compelling personal narrative as a child of the working class who rose to Harvard and the U.S. Senate, but she can’t seem to sell it convincingly to voters; her attempts to project homeyness come off as forced and self-conscious. She has risen by her own tenacity, a detailed and coherent set of policy ideas, and her uncanny ability to persuasively explain and defend them to voters".

George Stephanopoulos has been around a long time. It has to be hard to sit there and listen to one of the most unethical liars in presidential history.


EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump says it 'doesn't matter' what former White House counsel Don McGahn told Mueller

"President Donald Trump is directly disputing the account of a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible obstruction of justice during the course of the Russia probe saying that it "doesn't matter" what his former White House counsel Don McGahn testified.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos, Trump says McGahn "may have been confused" when he told Mueller that Trump instructed him multiple times to have the acting attorney general remove the special counsel because of perceived conflicts of interest".

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-donald-trump-doesnt-matter-white-house-counsel/story?id=63697487

If you could read, Donald, maybe you would have seen this:

In late January 2018, the media reported that in June 2017, the President had ordered McGahn to have the Special Counsel fired based on purported conflicts of interest but McGahn had refused, saying he would quit instead. After the story broke, the President, through his personal counsel and two aides, sought to have McGahn deny that he had been directed to remove the Special Counsel. Each time he was approached, McGahn responded that he would not refute the press accounts because they were accurate in reporting on the President's effort to have the Special Counsel removed.

The President later met personally with McGahn in the Oval Office with only the Chief of Staff present and tried to get McGahn to say that the President never ordered him to fire the Special Counsel.
McGahn refused and insisted his memory of the President's direction to remove the Special Counsel was accurate. In that same meeting, the President challenged McGahn for taking notes of his discussion with the President and asked why he had told the Special Counsel investigators that he had been directed to have the Special Counsel removed.

There is evidence that at least one purpose of the president's conduct toward Sessions was to have Sessions assume control over the Russia investigation and supervise it in a way that would restrict its scope.

Not only is he a crook. He is an unethical crook.

Trump tries to clarify stance on foreign dirt: 'If you don't hear what it is, you don't know what it is'

"President Trump on Friday attempted to clarify his stunning assertion that he would accept damaging information against his political rivals from foreign governments without necessarily alerting the FBI".

http://e-news.us/trump-tries-to-clarify-stance-on-foreign-dirt-if-you-dont-hear-what-it-is-you-dont-know-what-it-is/

He didn't change his position. He just wants it to be good information and then he'll accept it. How about the answer is NO, it is illegal for me to accept information from a foreign government to influence the election.

But he did specify. He said he has never called the FBI and would never call the FBI because he is of the opinion that "the world doesn't work that way." Ladies and gentlemen, the current top law enforcement executive, the POTUS, just stated that he believes in a selective and subjective application of law enforcement.


"I will tell you this: Russia if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails" Candidate Trump, July 27, 2016

Mueller’s indictment offers new evidence that Russia was listening—and acting on Trump’s request. The indictment charges 12 officers of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, with hacking intended to interfere with the election. According to the document:

The Conspirators spear-phished individuals affiliated with the Clinton Campaign throughout the summer of 2016. For example, on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators 7 attempted after hours to spear-phish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton's personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign.

In other words, a Russian attempt to penetrate Clinton’s server and her campaign came around the same time that Trump was publicly pleading with Russia to do just that.

NBC News tallied that Trump had cited WikiLeaks 141 times at 56 events in the last month of the campaign.

“WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks,” he said at one such event.
“This WikiLeaks is like a treasure trove,” he said at another.
“I love reading those WikiLeaks,” he said at yet another event, relaying that he had been delayed in arriving because he had been reading the latest batch of emails that WikiLeaks had released.

AFTER Julian Assange was arrested:

“I know nothing about WikiLeaks,” Trump told reporters. “It’s not my thing. I know there is something to do with Julian Assange. I’ve been seeing what’s happened with Assange. And that will be a determination, I imagine, mostly by the attorney general.”


Yeah,right, Trump would do the right thing

Trump And White House Defend Getting Help From Russia, Falsely Accuse Dems Of Doing It

How pro-Trump media spun Trump saying he’d accept dirt from foreign governments in the 2020 election

"After President Donald Trump sparked outrage when he admitted in an interview that he would “listen” to any damaging information on his opponent even if it came from a foreign government, pro-Trump media quickly came to his defense.

On June 13, ABC News host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether his campaign would accept, or hand over to the FBI, damaging information on his opponent if it came from a foreign source. Trump responded that “maybe” he would do both, saying, “You might want to listen. There isn’t anything wrong with listening.” Trump also pushed back on the idea that a foreign government providing information on a political opponent is election interference. He conceded that “if I thought there was something wrong, I'd go maybe to the FBI” but also asserted that “the FBI doesn’t have enough agents to take care of” what he characterized as “oppo research.” Trump also lied that he had never in his "whole life" called the FBI (he approached the FBI in the 1980s in a matter related to Atlantic City casinos)".

US Debt by President by Dollar and Percent

"What's the best way to determine how much each president has contributed to our nation's $22 trillion in U.S. debt? The most popular method involves comparing the debt level from when a president enters office to the debt level when he leaves".

http://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296

The US national debt just pushed past $22 trillion — here's how Trump's $2 trillion in debt compares with Obama, Bush, and Clinton

"The US national debt passed $22 trillion on February 11, the first time the federal debt had breached that threshold.

The landmark came just over two years after President Donald Trump, who once promised to eliminate the federal debt in eight years, took over the Oval Office.

But compared with some other recent presidents', Trump's debt accumulation is not as stunning as it first appears".

"One important difference between Trump's debt figures and Obama's is that Trump has added a massive amount of debt while the US economy has been strong, whereas Obama took over during the depths of the financial crisis.

Economists typically recommend that the federal government increase spending, and thus add more debt, during times of economic struggles and then pay down that debt when the economy recovers. So while economic theory would support Obama's spending to help support the economy, Trump's recent debt binge has less support among economists".

Sanders' legacy, according to CNN — an outlet with which she often sparred — will be "the death of the White House press briefing," since she held so few of them. As far as her future goes, she has reportedly discussed running for governor of Arkansas, her home state, in private conversations. "I learned a long time ago never to rule anything out," she told a small group of reporters.

Trump defends position on ‘oppo research’ from foreign governments: ‘How ridiculous’ to tell the FBI

"President Trump on Thursday attempted to defend his stunning admission that he would accept damaging information against his political rivals from foreign governments without necessarily alerting the FBI".

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-defends-willingness-to-accept-dirt-from-foreign-governments-and-not-tell-fbi-145846989.html

The fact this country does not trust or even believe most of what the president says or does, is kind of one of the problems we have in this country. I want a President who has a clue. One who is well informed, ethical and honest, at least some of the time. Is that too much to ask?

Trump promised to lift sanctions on Russia. That is treason and selling political favors. First, it never happened, now it is sure we can and will collude with foreign governments to win an election. reference Giuliani's trip to Ukraine to get that country to investigate Bidens son, who died several years ago.

Working with a foreign government against candidates for president should disqualify the person working with them. That is 100% collusion. I don't think Trump is smart enough to realize it.

If you read the Mueller report the IRA is a Russian organization that comes onto forums and post political commentary designed to mislead.

Exposing Russia’s Effort to Sow Discord Online: The Internet Research Agency and Advertisements

"On February 16, 2018, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III indicted 13 Russian individuals and three Russian organizations for engaging in operations to interfere with U.S. political and electoral processes, including the 2016 presidential election. This was a significant step forward in exposing a surreptitious social media campaign and holding accountable those responsible for this attack. The indictment spells out in exhaustive detail the breadth and systematic nature of this conspiracy, dating back to 2014, as well as the multiple ways in which Russian actors misused online platforms to carry out their clandestine operations.

Throughout the indictment, Mueller lays out important facts about the activities of the Internet Research Agency (IRA)—the notorious Russian “troll” farm—and its operatives".

Here’s Everything The Mueller Report Says About How Russian Trolls Used Social Media

"Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign provides one of the most detailed looks at how Russia’s Internet Research Agency — the infamous Kremlin-linked troll farm — tried to hijack the 2016 election and swing the vote in favor of Donald Trump".

Russia worked hard to recruit social media users to campaign for Trump

"We already knew that the Internet Research Agency (IRA), which is essentially a farm of bots and trolls, exposed 126 million Americans on Facebook to Russian-backed propaganda during the 2016 US presidential election. But today's release of the redacted Mueller report has shed light on new details, including the great lengths the IRA went to in using social media to provoke social discord in the US. The report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, titled "The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election," highlights how the IRA created thousands of accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Tumblr to create posts in "support for the Trump Campaign and opposition to candidate [Hillary] Clinton".

For some people it's just ignorance. For others, it's a combination of hate and ignorance. While for others it's more of a mental condition. They believe so deeply in the misinformation that no one can get through to them. Ones like those trying to kill people that don't think as they do. Others, It's all about division. They feel the need to try to divide people. They think if they believe the lies long enough, the lies with become the truth. Other's are Russian trolls. A nation divided against its self can not stand.

There are a lot, a WHOLE LOT of Russian backed trolls on many dating/ forums, social media sites. FB is dealing with them and so is Yahoo. All I can tell you if it doesn't make sense, it's probably a lie. The best way to prove something a lie is by trying to prove it true.
