The Trump thread: All things Donald

On the subject of Putin:

Not sure how many people noticed it, but for weeks the Russian press was puting out that the super volcano in Yellowstone National Park was about to blow.  Interesting. Were they trying to terrify Americans into purchasing tons of guns and preparing for the appocolypse?  You betcha.

Fear.  That's what both Trump and the Russians are trying to sell.

White House discusses possible Trump visit to troops in Iraq or Afghanistan

Trump has spoken privately about his fears over risks to his own life, according to a former senior White House official, who has discussed the issue with the president and spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about Trump’s concerns.

“He’s never been interested in going,” the official said of Trump visiting troops in a combat zone, citing conversations with the president. “He’s afraid of those situations. He’s afraid people want to kill him.”

He attacked the former head of U.S. Special Operations Command, retired Adm. William H. McRaven, on Sunday for his role in catching and killing Osama bin Laden, calling him a supporter of Hillary Clinton and saying that the al-Qaeda leader should have been caught sooner in Pakistan. McRaven responded in a statement saying he did not endorse Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump recently skipped a cemetery service marking the end of World War I in France, citing poor weather. He also did not go to Arlington National Cemetery two days later on Veterans Day, later expressing rare regret for missing the occasion.

“I should have done that,” he said in the Fox interview.

Trump has sent thousands of troops to the border with Mexico in anticipation of a Central American migrant caravan in what his critics labeled a preelection stunt designed to shore up anti-immigration sentiment within his base. Mattis has described the mission as good training and necessary support for the Department of Homeland Security.

The history of presidents visiting American troops on active deployments dates back decades and gives presidents a sense of what is happening on the ground — while sending a message to troops that the government at home appreciates their personal sacrifices.

And yes, technically Hillary did use a private server, but it was set up by the White House/office of the president using all the security protocols that are standard for high ranking officials as President Clinton prepared to leave office.

I love Sarah Huckabee Sanders.  I just love watching her improvise spin on the fly, and guild that turd at every opportunity.  There's really no reliable source, so might as well go for the most entertaining one.

[Katiebee]

I am tired of hearing things like:

Reporter: “President Trump claimed that the sky was green, today. What did he mean by that?”

Huckabee: “He didn’t mean green, green, the color blue has green in it, so he is correct in stating that the sky is green.”

A rose by any other name...

Bullshit is bullshit. You can call it what you will, but it is still going to smell like bullshit.

[psiberzerker]

I just like watching her dance, and also there's only 1 degree of separation.  I can't stand to follow the Twitter in Chief, directly, but after her, it gets volleyed back, and forth over the truth by the competing news agencies.  I kinda like to get Colbert's take on it after this, just to see how much it changes before it becomes a joke.

It's all bullshit.  The question is who's perfume do you prefer spritzed on it?

I feel sorry for Sarah......
When this four year fiasco is finally over, I think she will be completely un-employable. Even Fox has "some" standards.

Love,
Liz
 

[psiberzerker]

I'm sure her future is secure with one of Goldfinger's associates. 

Not everyone has Fox News' standards. 

Employable?  She can probably retire on being payed not to say certain things.  Or, she can cut a book deal.  I think she'll be fine just as long as nobody collapses the government, and the fringe neo-fascists don't take over while the liberals are bickering over whether we're Socialist now...

Or, you know.  Whatever happens, my gift for prophecy being no better than your's.

Given that they've now all but banned follow up questions it's pretty moot.

Trump issued  a memo directing the Pentagon to authorized use of force at the the border.

Trump is a breath away from violating not only his oath, but the law.

Trump is a breath away from violating not only his oath, but the law.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and was subsequently updated in 1956 and 1981.
