You're right, he doesn't and apparently he's off there straight after his Paris trip ends. As for why, if it's the same as the men's then I think they pick the courses years in advance. Like a decade at least.

Christ, didn't realise it was that far in advance.

Hopefully none of his courses will ever be added to the schedule again.

I've just checked and he doesn't own any of the men's courses picked up until 2026. So that's a good thing. Although I haven't checked the PGA Championship yet.

FECK IT! 2022

104th PGA Championship
Trump National Golf Club
Bedminster, N.J.
2022

That's good, the less money flowing into his businesses the better.

Am I remembering right that on the campaign trail he criticised Obama for spending too much time playing golf?

Yup, he's already played MORE in 6 months than Obama did in 8 years. Don't let the hypocrisy hit you on the way out though. He's unbelievable, basically everything he has accused others of he is doing or has done himself.

Constantly. He tweeted about it dozens and dozens of times.

Also Obama never played anything like as often. He's probably already played more golf than Obama did in his whole presidency.
 
Also Obama played on his actual vacations (Hawaii/Martha's Vineyard, e.g. 10 times on a 2 week vacation) or at very local Maryland/Virginia/DC courses (e.g. Andrews). Trump goes to Florida or New Jersey.

Et tu Fox?!
Click to expand...

I've been saying it for months. There absolutely HAS to be a time where even Fox can't deny what is going on, then they have choices to make on how to report it all. People like Shep Smith have seen this coming and he genuinely reports the news the same as how you would see it everywhere else. The interesting bit for me comes to what happens when it becomes too much? Who is going to be culled? And how will they handle it? People like Hannity, Jesse Watters and the goons from Fox & Friends should be fecked as their credibility will be completely destroyed. One thing is for sure and that's something really has to give. The only saving grace for Fox is that their core viewers refuse to believe the truth even when it's staring them in the face, so it's possible Fox can just bluff their way out of it all.
 
Its worth remembering that all this controversy is just over one meeting.

The other well known meetings are

Mayflower hotel
Kushner with Russian banker Gorkov
Kushner/Flynn with Kislyak at Trump Tower
Page with a Russian spy in 2013
Erik Prince in Seychelles
Sessions' meeting with Kislyak

These are just some of the ones that we know of and no doubt other secret meetings will come to light soon.

You are being very generous today - when did they start having any credibility?

Maybe this is for another thread, but why is it bad for someone to compliment someone else's physique. I'm not from a place where this is a problem so I'm. rather confused with all the fuss about what he said

I don't care about the most of the excuses or spin - it's to be expected. But, calling his 39 year old gimp a 'boy'...trying to make it out like he's some teenager who got led astray is seriously pissing me off.

I fail to see how it matters anyway - Trump appointed him to do something, so it's ultimately his responsibility. Trying to make the excuse that he's inexperienced or whatever really just makes Trump look bad. It's the same with his excuse about him being inexperienced in the job - well, don't fecking fire several top officials in the state department then. He chose to surround himself with inexperienced people, while being inexperienced in the job himself - I don't really see how that's not a sign of poor judgement.

On first meeting someone I'd say it's over familiar and disrespectful at best particularly in a formal and professional capacity such as this. They're not meeting in the gym.

Then add in the fact that this man has a long history of similar activity and worse and I think we can confidently file under "perving"

All of those meetings seemed to be forgotten about very quickly though, unless they're all actually being investigated?

It looked like he was at a horse market, talking about a horse

that's Fair. Yes it's I would say the setting is inappropriate and a bit over friendly for a formal introduction. Plus as you say, he's generally a creep, probably wouldn't have came off that way if it was someone else in a different setting

He doesn't give a shit about optics and neither do his followers.

I am sure Mueller and his team will be looking into every single meeting that took place.

Main reason these meetings get forgotten by us is that we are getting new developing stories on a regular basis and people turn their focus off the previous stories.

What do you think will happen is there's a leak that Trump was in the room or was listening in to the meeting?

Will any GOP members call for Trumps resignation?

I don't think Trump was dumb enough to be there. The likeliest scenario was that Don Jr. was hoping to get some kompromat on Hillary from the Russians (better known as collusion), and the meeting itself eventually got leaked out via the emails. The question now becomes how many more meetings were conducted and how many other communications (SMS/Phone/email/video conference) were done and haven't yet been reported. Also, since Kushner was in charge of Trump's data analytics operation, investigators are going to want to know how Russian bots managed to successfully microtarget in states like MI, WI, MN, and PA. If Kushner passed along analytics information to the GRU then that would take this to a brand new level.
