POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Not open for further replies.
Obviously a PR person told Trumpy that dishonoring McCain wasnt going to play too well in political ads the next few years.
You really think the PR person got Trump's blessing on that?

Ha!

I'd put a crisp $5 that the grounds crew said "Eff Donny" and put it at half mast. Because they know Dumpy isn't going to waddle down to the flagpole and raise it back himself.

(But the visual of Tiny Hands stretching and pretend jumping to the *just* out of reach rope for the flag makes me giggle.)

*edit*
Pretty sure this is a live shot of Trump watching Fox News tonight and learning of the half staff flag:

Ha ha ha ha!!

Hey, whose funeral was it that Trump didn't go to but Melania did and she was all smiley and chatty with the Obamas?

I keep thinking he craves social acceptance and he is shunned from the most important rituals- funerals and weddings. Big ones and very publicly. No amount of trying to make himself appear big makes him socially acceptable.

I am sure one of our "Just Asking the Question" cons around here will tell us why this wasnt a big deal though.

I wouldn't be shocked if someone lied to him and told him Obama would have put it at full staff, too...

Not a chance. Donny only cares about loyalty and looking good he would murder a groundskeeper who pulled that move. If a PR person (especially one say who is Faux friendly) told him how it looks he would do it. He isnt very smart but he also knows the stupid flag was ruining his NAFTA story.

That is a possibility!

John Goodman states today that the Roseanne reboot will kill off the Roseanne character. My guess is dump lowers the flag for a week.

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Anyone else notice the news that Manafort was trying to plea a deal with Meuller while the jury was deliberating? It didn't go far, as the Mueller team wasn't happy with what was being offered.

So Manafort is looking at a pretty tough trial in DC this month.

Also, more info from the NY Southern District- that many of the dunp Co executives are tearing down the wall of secrecy. And lets be clear, what is going on in New York can not be protected via the Constitution or by Presidential pardons. Which is quite interesting.

On the trade note- funny to hear some people claim that this is a whole new deal with Mexico, when it's mostly a tweak of the old one, plus adding digital stuff to what wasn't there. Hard to tell that there's a huge change, other that is making cars made in North America just slightly more expensive (for higher NA content plus higher wages in Mexico). Funny that the auto industry was singled out, but it's the appliance industry that lost way more jobs to Mexico.

Do you seriously need someone here to tell you it wasn't a big deal?

I seem to recall you as one of the voices of reason mocking television commentators, politicians and even a few posters here for getting bent out of shape over things like Obama bowing or not bowing to foreign leaders (I even forget which it was), and some such nonsense? Do you really want us coming back here ten years from now and asking, "Hey, Handy, remember when you got your panties in a bunch over Trump's failure to lower the flag to half staff?"

C'mon, seriously. There's a lot of bad crap happening in this country. We're going to characterize this as a "big deal?"

If it wasn't a big deal why the change? Is he a *****?

By the way, Obama bowed. Seemed like the right thing to do. When you're in other peoples homes you follow their customs.

Why the change? Who knows. Why has he done any of the things he's done? You're asking me to read his mind? Good luck with that.

The point is if it wasn't a big deal they wouldn't have acquiesced. But, you know that so why the protest?

I don't think he has anything to give that Mueller doesn't already know. Simply put Mueller stumbled upon his criminal activities as part of the Chump investigation and then had him put on trail because 1) he's one of the easiest to convict, 2) its relatively uncomplicated since he doesn't have any info Mueller needs, and 3) it builds momentum to start steamrolling other treasonous Republicans taking dirty Russian money hand over fist. From what I understand its an age old dilemma of any prosecution - the person with nobody or nothing to give up takes it in the shorts.

I'm sure he acquiesced due to political pressure. I have no doubt about that.

My point is, does the lowering of the flag to half staff really matter in the grand scheme of things? I mean, seriously. Was this country affected one way or the other by the fact that Bill Clinton didn't lower the flags to half staff until the day of Barry Goldwater's funeral, and not during the days leading up to it? Did anyone even remember that? I sure didn't. http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/05/29/goldwater.obit/

Who cares, really?

Does this flag lowering really affect our daily lives or matter in the scheme of things in the long run? No. Does someone standing silently and respectfully or kneeling silently and respectfully really affect or matter either? No. But they can't have it both ways, getting to choose when this protocol or take it or leave it versus the most important matter of life and death in the country.
