there is a reason he's on the offensive.   Keep the Trumpanzees howling so the GOP has cover to continue to allow this madness.

I remember conversations with friends about George W. needing to be impeached for war crimes and being an embarrassment to America. The more things change, the more they stay the same. 

No doubt Trump is already talking with his crack legal team to see if there's a way to impeach Obama after the fact. Make it so he never served as President, and have the record show that the US was without a President for 8 years.

Still nope. And yes, he should be in jail for war crimes. 

I saw that gas was up to $3/gallon yesterday so that at least brings back memories of Dubya and dumbfuck Republican policy in the Middle East. Whoopee! We never learn!

Trump's most ridiculous lie was when he took the oath of office.

The Germans surrendered less than a month into Harry S. Truman's administration.  The Japanese followed within 3 more months.  No President can (or should) take credit for everything that happens on his young watch, but I'm thinking Harry outdid Donald.

FDR accomplished more in his first 100 days in office.

Prime example of trump derangement syndrome 

If Trump would do nothing else except stop tweeting, within a month his approvals would be up like 10%.

Meh.

Acting like you have balls AFTER the fight is over is him acting like that asshole friend of yours -- you know the guy....he was nowhere to be found when the shit was hitting the fan and you were fighting for your life in that bar with a bunch of drunk Sooners who wanted to start shit.  But once you all ended up back at the car, battered and worn out, he was full of piss and vinegar: "Man, those guys were LUCKY I was in the bathroom taking a dump the whole time -- damn those hot wings I had at dinner!  I'da kicked ALL their asses if I'da been out there!"

Bravery after the battle is over isn't bravery at all.

I'm looking all over this country for one. fucking. leader....with a goddamned pair of balls.  Haven't found one yet.

Not only that but in his "screed" against Trump,

Quote

At no point in his speech did Tillerson mention President Trump or his administration by name.

 

Edit: All Tillerson is doing is trying to distance himself from the Trump Stink. He's hoping it won't stick to him.

Edited by High Plains Drifter

If you want to take a stand, have the balls to call Trump out by name and then actively work to oppose him.  His new found integrity is nothing but hollow words at this point.

Ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe before?

Whenever he claims he is the most successful, it just floors me that there are millions, literally millions of people who believe it.  No facts, no nothing.  They just believe anything he says.

Both of these.

Trump reminds me of many third world country presidents...thugs that bought their way into politics.

The Koch brothers are attempting to end run Trumpism in the GOP.

 

For the first time, the LIBRE Initiative — the Hispanic outreach arm of the Koch network — is putting money behind efforts to praise Democrats on the federal level, and doing so with control of Congress on the line in the midterm elections.

Looks like the Koch brothers are getting paid off by Soros now. Sad!

when that's all you got...

 

 

What more is needed when the left has all the answers to the worlds problems? If only the voters could understand that socialism is the way to go.

 

I will enjoy the crying until 2024.

My God, listening to Trump in a press conference.... it's a beating.

Not too surprising.  They are playing a much longer game than Trump, and if he pisses away GOP control of one or both chambers of Congress, that seriously hurts their chances of furthering their agenda(s).

Begging the NATO rep to give him credit. So creepy.

Bashing previous presidents, blah blah blah.

It's unbelievable.  He says an incredible amount of moronic, stupid shit every single time he opens his mouth.   He can't spell, he doesn't understand basic grammar, and he has all the diplomacy and decorum of an old racist with moderate dementia.

The only thing he's capable of is relentless self-congratulations and criticism of everyone else.  Apparently, in an idiocracy, that's all it takes.

If only the country would rally behind corporate socialism like your party demands. 

Calling Merkel out now ... :popcorn::

The company controlled by the family of the White House adviser Jared Kushner is close to receiving a bailout of its financially troubled flagship building by a company with ties to the government of Qatar, according to executives briefed on the deal.

Charles Kushner, head of the Kushner Companies, is in advanced talks with Brookfield Properties over a partnership to take control of the 41-story aluminum-clad tower 666 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, according to two real estate executives who have been briefed on the pending deal but are not authorized to discuss it. Brookfield is a publicly traded company, headquartered in Canada, one of whose major investors is the Qatar Investment Authority.

Mr. Kushner and his son Jared, President Trump’s son-in-law and one of his key advisers, bought the office tower, which is between 52nd and 53rd Streets, 11 years ago for a record-setting $1.8 billion. But the building today only generates about half its annual mortgage payment, and 30 percent of the 41-story tower is vacant.

In late 2016, Mr. Kushner and his son were close to a much different kind of deal with Anbang, a giant Chinese insurance company with ties to the country’s ruling elite, and with a billionaire from Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim Al-Thani. That plan involved demolishing the existing building at 666 Fifth and erecting a $7.5 billion luxury super tower.

 

 

Although he resigned as chief executive of the company when he joined the White House in January 2017, Mr. Kushner retained most of his stake in the firm. He shed some of the assets — including his stake in 666 Fifth Avenue — by selling them to a trust controlled by his mother. His real estate holdings and other investments are worth as much as $761 million, according to government ethics filings.

The Kushner Companies and Brookfield both declined to comment, and the White House and the Qatar Investmen Authority did not immediately return requests for comment.

Brookfield has extensive ties to Qatar. The Qatar Investment Authority is the second-largest shareholder in Brookfield Properties, ranking only behind Brookfield’s former parent company. And the Qatar fund and Brookfield have teamed up on several real estate deals in the United States and elsewhere in recent years, including Brookfield’s retail and apartment complex, Manhattan West, now under construction on the West Side. Brookfield and Qatar also control the Canary Wharf office complex in London.

Brookfield, which will take over leasing and operating 666 Fifth, plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to give the 61-year-old building a major face-lift: stripping off the distinctive aluminum facade, installing floor-to-ceiling windows, renovating the lobby and installing new elevators, according to the executives.

If a deal is struck, Mr. Kushner will buy out his old partner, Vornado Realty Trust, which owned 49.5 percent of the office space but was not interested in renovating the tower.

Mr. Kushner will pay Vornado $120 million to settle an $80 million high-interest loan Vornado provided for the office building six years ago. Vornado, however, will continue to own the building’s valuable Fifth Avenue retail space.

But the deal collapsed a year ago, amid criticism from legislators over the connection between Jared Kushner’s political role and the family business. Jared Kushner left the family business after President Trump’s election and is now a key adviser to the White House.

The deal with Brookfield is likely to raise further concerns about Jared Kushner’s dual role as a White House point person on the Middle East and a continuing stake holder in the family’s company. Mr. Kushner earlier this year lost his top-secret security clearance amid concerns that foreign governments could attempt to gain influence with the White House by doing business with the Kushner Companies.
