Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

In his 50-minute NY Times interview, America's BSer-in-Chief made just 17 false claims. Clearly, he had an off day. My favorite:
“So I go to Poland and make a speech. Enemies of mine in the media, enemies of mine are saying it was the greatest speech ever made on foreign soil by a president.”

Kudos to the reporters for 1) keeping a straight face, and 2) mercifully not reminding tRump that no one had to bus in ringers to build up the crowd for JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.

It's been just doing the same as before, only now with bragging about how successful it is. And rubes like you fall for it.

I bet you believe we've really added 45,000 coal mining jobs too. Cause Donnie told you so.

TRUMP: Well, Napoleon finished a little bit bad. But I asked that. So I asked the president, so what about Napoleon? He said: “No, no, no. What he did was incredible. He designed Paris.” [garbled] The street grid, the way they work, you know, the spokes. He did so many things even beyond. And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death. How many times has Russia been saved by the weather?

Napolean I invaded Russia; Napolean III "designed Paris".

Trump is right, an investigation into Russian meddling and collusion shouldn't involve family financial interactions with Russians involved.

I mean, it would be like if you were investigating a break-in at an office complex and you investigated some random Mexican lawyer depositing money into Miami banks.

So here's another crappy corrupt conspiracy theory...

Just got back from a trip to Cuba- and we all know don wants to tighten travel back to previous times.... But it appears that cruising will still be allowed, which is odd.

Until you hear why people think that is the way it will be- don is clamping down on the resorts- using his EO to stop US money from going in there. So that HE can turn them into "don" resorts. Seeing the shops in one of these resorts, it makes a lot of sense- there's a brand spanking new resort kitty corner from La Floridita bar (a Hemingway bar), and the shops there are WAY beyond our means, let alone local Cubans. This is a resort for the very high end- which is what don likes to be. And the work on it was recently frozen- June 16 to be exact. It's not likely to open even though it's about 99% done.

So it's quite possible that don is using an EO to make himself richer. yay.

Can we just send him to jail for being so corrupt??

Heard on cable news. The Peanuts analogy: The president is Pig Pen and all these questions are the dirt cloud over his head.

I had that same thought when he announced the re-tightening.

But "it's just good business acumen on his part. Former presidents profit from speaking tours and book deals, this is just his post presidential legacy," we'll hear from his supporters.

Nevermind that past presidents never re-wrote such specific laws just to benefit themselves post presidency.

Well, except that Jimmy Carter crook. Probably forced through some farm tax reductions or some other bull****. ;)

This presidency may actually lead to something good of it provokes constitutional changes that prevent a president from becoming a dictator.

The presidency has been growing in power since WW2, so much so that they were calling it the "Imperial Presidency" fifty years ago and it's only gotten worse. Much of that has been Congress hiding from responsibility and accountability.

Dump is a test of the limits of the Constitution. We are getting a real life demonstration of what happens when the worst possible individual gets that much power. Hopefully this will lead to a radical restriction of the executive and a reassertion of legislative and judicial power. We have been staggering towards the replacement of the Republican with an Emperor for half a century; with Cheney we broke into a trot. Now it is a run. We must stop this -- Russia in the 1990s is the example of what happens if we do not.

Hopefully 240+ years of democratic institutions will make the difference, assuming enough of us stand up. Would you march in streets if Dump pardoned himself and the Court upheld it? I would.

Conservatives, this is the Constitutional crisis you have been fapping off worrying about, only the call is coming from inside the house. So, who are you? Are you going to support it because it's good for your agenda, or are you going to oppose it because it's terrible for our system of laws? It's really easy for me to be against this -- the hard job here is yours.
