President Hillary Clinton?

Jimmy Carter said what a lot of people believe. Donald Trump is not a "legitimate" President. We don't have to know how much Russia helped him, only that they did.

It is very conceivable that their propaganda and assistance changed enough votes to give Trump an Electoral College victory. The margin of victory was razor thin in three or four states. Regardless, the fact that Russia messed with our election system makes Trump's claim to the Presidency very questionable.

The "real" President of the United States may be sitting at home in New York as the "illegitimate" one travels the globe, searching for business deals for himself and his family.

The "real" President would not talk down our country the way the fake one does. She would not be searching out the friendships of the worst tyrants on earth to befriend. She would not badmouth our allies and praise our enemies. She would not lie with every breath she takes.

It is a tragedy that America has been denied its first woman President. It is even more of a tragedy that America got an illegitimate con artist as her replacement. Looking back, this will be seen as one of the darkest periods of American history, in my opinion.

How to win the debate?

In your best Donald Trump imitation, say this:

"Only I can fix it".

"I am very intelligent. I went to a very good university"

(Take a moment to hug an American flag)

"If they mess with us, we will obliterate them."

"We have the best economy in the history of the world."

"If anything bad happens, it is somebody else's fault."

"Mueller was on a witch-hunt. There was no collusion, no obstruction, no nothing. Bill Barr said so...."

==============

The audience would crack up and you would be declared the winner of the debate...

Putin and Trump met privately for nearly an hour...

What did they talk about?

Obviously, from reports, they did not spend much time talking about "meddling" in the election. Trump later joked about it when asked a question by a reporter. Like Tom Sawyer, he keeps trying to whitewash his story.

He still does not believe that Russia interfered in our elections. It doesn't matter how much proof he is shown.

So, what did they discuss?

Business deals? Money laundering? Nobody knows. All anyone knows is that Donald Trump is a pathological liar and it would not be wise to believe a word that he says.

Was anyone at the meeting besides Donald Trump? If not, no American should feel secure.

Ask the farmers and the coal miners how their economy is doing?

The stock market may be doing better but it is not the best economy "in history", as Dear Leader is prone to utter. The huge tax cuts and the ensuing debt and deficits are not good for the average American.

The farmers were already under water before all the spring floods. The trade war had taken its toll already. Trump has offered them assistance two or three times, but the complaints are that the big corporate farmers get most of that assistance. Some smaller farmers are getting 10-15% of what their crops would have brought. Many of them are Trump supporters.

So, too, are the coal miners. Trump picked up his shovel and he walked to the mine. He loaded sixteen tons of imaginary coal. The coal industry has lost jobs since Trump was inaugurated and there are less coal miners today.

But, that should come as no surprise. Trump lies about the economy just like he lies about everything else. A lot of people are going to pay a huge price for his bullshit and his incompetence.

Does it matter what Bob Mueller might say?

...at the House hearing?

Is truth so far gone that it cannot be recovered? People have already made up their minds?

Have lies, deceptions, and corruption become the "norm"?

Somebody is dragging their feet on this. Is it the Legislature or is it the Courts? Or is it both?

There needs to be some sort of resolution. Perhaps Robert Mueller can supply that?

If not, we are looking at another corrupt election, in my opinion.

Why not just declare Putin the President and get it over with? Trump has the "blueballs" from the vise Putin has on him.

Would you be surprised if he announces that his company has negotiated a deal with Russia to build a Trump Tower in Moscow?

Nothing is below this bunch.

No good water comes from a muddy spring.

And no good can come from a leader that feels he must tear someone down in order to build himself up.

10,111 Lies

There was a time when politicians were severely punished when they lied to the people.

Unfortunately, neither the press nor the Democrats can keep up with the lies of Donald Trump.

With a very good growth rate of 3.1% in the last quarter, Trump says this is the best economy in the history of the United States. It's not, but nobody calls him on it.

Did you know he has done more in his first 2 1/2 years than any other president in history? He hasn't but he tells these types of lies all the times. More simple minds tend to believe him.

Thousands of times he has told these lies and nobody has called him on it.

When caught, he blames someone else. He is never to blame for anything bad. He lies about it every time.

But, these Trump lies are corrupting the soul of our nation. They are very dangerous.

He gets away with all sorts of crimes because he lies about them.

Someone must start to call him out on these lies. They can no longer be ignored.

Is Robert Mueller too cautious to be a patriot?

Why should he create chaos and upset the apple cart when the next election can straighten out the mess we are now in? Why should he create even more division by telling the truth about Donald Trump? Isn't it in the country's interest to let the people decide what they want for our country? Isn't the patriotic thing to do is not to create waves and more turmoil for our country?

He's fairly sure the country will survive.

Or will he choose to tell all? Will he inform the people that there is a lawbreaker sitting in the White House, and every day, more damage is done to our country?

Will he choose to be remembered by history as someone that stood up for his country and did the right thing, by exposing Donald Trump, and letting the chips fall where they may? Will he stand for the rule of law?

Will he inform the Congress enough to begin the impeachment process? Will he stand up to the threats from Trump and the Republican Party and stand for the truth?

Which Robert Mueller will show up for the hearing on July 17th?

Trump on what he tells Putin: 'It's none of your business'

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/26/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-g-20-1384037

<snip>

President Donald Trump said Wednesday his lips are sealed about what he and Russian President Vladimir Putin say to each other behind closed doors.

Ahead of his expected meeting with Putin on the sidelines of this weekend’s G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, the president told reporters that while he expected to have a positive conversation with Putin, he would not divulge whether he will press the adversarial leader about election interference.

“I will have a very good conversation with him,” Trump said, adding, “What I say to him is none of your business.”

The meeting between the two leaders will come as the 2020 election heats up, with Democratic hopefuls taking the stage for their first debates on Wednesday and Thursday. Trump has done little to assuage fears that he’s not actively working to safeguard next year’s election from interference, including saying in a recent interview that he would likely accept dirt on an opponent from an foreign adversary, and that he wouldn’t necessarily alert the FBI about it.
