That is a great pic. Dufus Trump smiling like crazy, oblivious to any kind of optics. Macron thinking too much about optics and desperately trying to be the tough guy (no one is buying it, Emmanuel!). Merkel just wants to retire and what is Melania looking at?Originally posted by frank ryan View Post

I'm sure Trump will find a way to blame Ukraine when this flares up:
Ukraine to propose 'martial law' as it edges closer to war with Russia
Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) met after Russian warships fired on the country's Navy vessels in the Black Sea
Ukraine is proposing to introduce a state of 'martial law' as it edges closer to all-out war with Russia.
Its National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) met at midnight local time (10pm UK time) to discuss events in the Black Sea this afternoon - when Russian warships fired on Ukrainian Navy boats and seized three of their vessels.
A senior Ukraine official has subsequently claimed Russia's actions were an "act of war".
Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said after the meeting tonight that he will propose Parliament declare martial law tomorrow (Monday).
Parliament will then decide whether to approve martial law.
It was reported by Reuters a state of martial law will both restrict civil liberties in the country and give state institutions greater power.
Following an emergency meeting earlier, the current Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov, said: "We are convening the Ukrainian NSDC to declare a state of war”.

Lots of interesting stuff has been coming to light
Roger Stone Spoke to Trump on the Phone the Day After He Got Info WikiLeaks Campaign Email Dumps Were Coming
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...collusion.htmlNew evidence from right-wing conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi’s plea bargain negotiations with Robert Mueller’s team has put the Trump campaign’s possible connection to the WikiLeaks 2016 releases of emails damaging to Hillary Clinton front and center in the Russia investigation. Corsi, in announcing this week that he had refused a plea deal from the special counsel, released a draft of the plea document that outlined an email from Corsi to Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone alerting Stone that he had heard that WikiLeaks was set to release “very damaging” material on the Clinton campaign. The email relaying that information to Stone was dated Aug. 2, 2016. The following day, according to the Washington Post reported Wednesday, Stone spoke to Trump on the telephone.
“In an interview, Stone insisted that the topic of hacked emails was never broached in the Aug. 3 phone call—or in any other communication with Trump,” according to the Post. “It just didn’t come up,” Stone said. “I am able to say we never discussed WikiLeaks. I’m not sure what I would have said to him anyway because it’s all speculation . . . I just didn’t know if it’s true or not.” Stone’s call most certainly remains circumstantial evidence, but the circumstances seem to be closing in on Trump. The calls do not put Trump in the driver’s seat of the WikiLeaks releases by any stretch, but they certainly put him much closer to the action and potentially giving him knowledge of the looming release of more damaging emails.Comment

Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Congress about Trump's business dealings in Russia, including saying that Trump knew it was going on. Trump's knee jerk reaction is to claim Cohen is now lying about having lied. The problem Trump has on this is Mueller has access to the recordings and everything else taken from Cohen's office and homes to undoubtedly back up what Cohen just admitted.Last edited by BlueK; 11-29-2018, 11:35 AM.Comment

The russiagate dominoes are starting to fall!... It is just a matter of time before the crack mueller team drops the bomb that all the voting machines in the US were hacked by the damn Ruskies and that is why Drumpf won the 2016 election. This is the only logical explanation how Drumpf beat the most qualified candidate ever and, not to mention, smartest person to run for president.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/mark...ts-coming-nextLet’s review what Mueller and his team are doing:
Michael Flynn — They discovered unreported lobbying by Trump's former National Security Adviser and leveraged that to get him to plead guilty to lying to the FBI. Why? So that they can claim Trump’s comment to James Comey about letting him go was obstruction of justice. Yet no other prosecutor would ever have brought this charge.
Michael Cohen — They got Trump’s former lawyer on all sorts of financial crimes related to his businesses and loans. But he pled guilty to campaign finance violations for payments that in the past would have been ruled on as personal expenses. Now they’ve also gotten him to cop to lying about when he killed the perfectly legal Russia tower project, only it appears that Trump’s lawyers ducked that perjury trap in the written questions.
George Papadopoulos— The former member of Trump’s foreign policy advisory panel was forced to plead to lying about the timing of his contacts. The goal was to legitimize the start of the investigation around him when all he did was pass on a surmise or a tip he received. Was the time and expense worth a 14-day sentence? Of course not. They had all the records they needed to figure out who he contacted when.
Jerome Corsi – The best-selling author was threatened with pleading to lying about his contacts with his friend and former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone. There was nothing illegal about his comments or actions, and he is a journalist, though obviously, the general rules of journalism don’t apply to conservatives like him.
Roger Stone -- The former Trump campaign adviser sent out a tweet suggesting Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta was next, and an email to Corsi asking him to get the rest of the emails. He was obviously trying to find out what was going on with these emails, and that’s not illegal in any way.
Paul Manafort – The former Trump presidential campaign chairman’s old tax and reporting cases going far back were dusted off to get him under the thumb of the prosecutor. It was revealed that he continued a joint defense agreement with the president and suddenly the prosecutor is saying he lied about his business dealings. It’s all about vengeance on him for failing to give them what they want and to make Trump look bad.
Sure, there are some anonymous Russians who will never be tried to add on top of this record. But it’s clear now Mueller is no longer looking for crimes in the presidential race of 2016. He is simply creating a narrative to delegitimize the president and to string together his words to Comey with the Flynn indictment, Cohen with Stormy Daniels payment, Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi with ties to Julian Assange, and now Cohen with underplaying Russia connections. And let’s not forget the Trump Tower meeting with the attorney who was also conveniently working with Fusion GPS.
There’s no doubt that the outline of Mueller’s report was written a long time ago and is being filled in. For those who thought Mueller would deliver a balanced and thoughtful report, these latest actions suggest that instead, we are seeing an all-out attack on the president and the presidency the likes of which we have never seen.
Get ready for the fight of the century coming soon and it will be about everything except collusion with the Russian government.

Fox, huh? Well, there are a few elements of truth in it, I guess. I wonder sometimes if the people who write this apologetic stuff believe what they're writing or if the only goal is to satisfy the Trump base, or at least those who actually read about the investigation.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post
It is kind of amusing how now the Trump argument is that it wasn't illegal for him to try to build a tower in Moscow (although a $50M bribe to Putin would have been). Ok, but how is that relevant to now considering that this switch comes only comes after years of denying he had any business there whatsoever, didn't know anyone there and barely even heard of the country. Why that much denial that turned out to be a lie? Why the obvious cover up for so long?
It's undeniable that he's an insanely awful president. What does it matter anymore.Last edited by BlueK; 11-30-2018, 04:16 PM.Comment

Mueller seeks no prison time for Flynn. He provided substantial help. That’s interesting

The list of President Trump's enemies is long and all-encompassing: from Russian dossier author Christopher Steele to FBI cutthroat Peter Strzok to ambitious Senator Cory Booker - and the authors of the latest bombshell book about the president lay bare the lengths those who revile him have gone to undermine and destroy the president.

Sally Yates' claim that the reason that Obama warned Drumpf not to hire Flynn because he was compromised by the Russians doesn't make at lot of sense...
