and Fed chief is 'a pu '
There is no bottom.
In an interview today with Foxs Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump went on an extended rant that included repeating claims that his campaign was spied on, claiming that Robert Mueller illegally terminated the emails, and declaring that the Federal Reserve chair isnt a tough guy but
something not so tough. And then Trump moved to the stage at a meeting of the Christian organization Faith and Freedom Coalition and informed the Christian crowd that, if he hadnt won in 2016, Iran would have conquered the entire Middle East. And, most Christian of all, he expressed his hope that John McCain is in hell.
The Bartiromo interview alone might have been enough to send the staff of any normal executive scrambling for a copy of the Constitution and looking up the steps involved in exercising the 25th Amendment. Trump started off by claiming that the FBI and the Department of Justice got caught spying on his campaign and that now theyre running around going wild. Then he went on to explain how hes beating up China and scoring billions of tariff dollars that were not paying anything for. But when it comes to Mexico and Canada, we gave them a big break, we didnt have to, but a lot of people in Congress said Please, please give them a break. Why they said that, who knows? I decided to go along, because some people in Congress really like me, so I decided to go along. Who knows? But we did it. Because people really like me.
And then theres the part where Trump attacked Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell: I have the right to demote him and I have the right to fire him. Heres a guynobody ever heard of him before, said Trump. And now, I made him, and he wants to show how tough he is. Okay, let him show how tough he is. Hes a pu
Hes a
Hes not doing a good job. And really, the fact that Trump was alert enough to stop himself from saying what he started to say was the high point of the whole interview. Then Trump claimed that the reason we dont know about the crimes committed by the FBI is that Mueller "terminated the emails. He terminated them. They're gone. And that's illegal. That's a crime."

(343 posts)Without his money and pseudo celebrity nobody wanted to be around him in New York. Then he pulled the biggest con of them all and became President. But he's still the rotten human being he has always been.

We need level headed types to ACT NOW before it gets bad. As Bob Dylan said "It's not dark yet, but it's getting there".

TRump needs to be pushed to the edge, to where he will make an absolute spectacle of himself. He's almost there now.
I saw this earlier but THANKS for posting it here.

(8,144 posts)establish his credibility. It will put the lie to Trumps crazy personal accusations, and thus support
integrity of the entire investigation.
Mueller may not be comfortable speaking in public, but he definitely conveys an authoritative and straight-shooting persona.

We all know trump obstructed justice from the moment he fired Comey. But Obstruction is just not going to get him.
Mueller needs to say more than "We found no evidence any US citizen conspired with Russians."

Name 'em Donny.

The FBI was doing what the FBI does and that is to investigate and if your campaign did not have 272 contacts with
Russia then they would have had to investigate anything. BTW the contacts go back 2012 and 2013 w/Carter Page
and Trump's 2013 trip to Moscow.
