Another Republican in trouble with the Feds. (although this was a while ago)
And the vast majority of people don't believe anything that comes out of the White House. Will they believe this?
Haha... how wrong were all of us -- expecting someone to come in his form etc. Who expected him to come with an orange reverse racoon instead of horns?
Ouch.
Fecks sake, the news just keeps on coming.
Can anyone tell me how many lawsuits Trump is fighting now? And how many did Obama face during his time as President?
"Nobody has more lawsuits than me!"
Ouch! More attacks from inside the GOP. His popularity must be getting dangerously close to the magic 30% everyone keeps talking about, and it does seem to be coinciding with many Republicans coming out against him and his lack of achievements and help with things like Obamacare repeal and replace. He also apparently had a really unpleasant hour long phone conversation with Mitch McConnell yesterday. Things like that wont be helping at all.
That is a great read. Let's hope it is accurate.
If it is accurate it makes so much sense that Trump has not filed taxes and does not want the FBI looking into his finances
Is there any rebuttal to that? Because it seems like a slam-dunk.
By old GOP standards, Trump is hyper-un-American.
We knew he was unfit to lead a country, but man, this is beyond any expectation.
The bowels of congress are filled with bodies of people who took on Mitch McConnell by underestimating him. This is a fight the Twitler might be wise to sit out. He is not Jeff Sessions to keep quiet, forget everything and bend over.
Yup, for China.

Pretty much. They have grabbed the green power industry by the throat whilst climate and dinosaur denying morons in the US want to continue using (ironically) fossilized dinosaurs for fuel.

A sign reading "Own the school year like a hero" was placed directly above a glass case filled with guns. Photos of it spread like wildfire on social media.

I'm thinking an FBI raid on Manafort's home six months after the investigation is publicly announced is a bit late, no? Surely any incriminating evidence is long gone/destroyed.
Depends on what they deem incriminating. Maybe they were just looking for circumstantial thing to confirm/negate already gathered material. There are also thing that need to be stored by individuals for example if he owned a corperation etc.
Article I read suggested it could have been an intimidation tactic.
I can't see a Federal judge giving them a warrant 'just for intimidation' purposes.
Not a chance in hell would they do that, certainly not for something as delicate and serious as this, and something connected to so many powerful people. You can bet your house that the Feds would have had to have had all their ducks in a row and had undeniable evidence or suspicion of serious crimes for them to get a warrant for Manafort. Not even a liberal judge would want the search to show up empty or even worse, to be deemed as a waste of time or as Trump likes saying, a witch hunt. Nope, as you rightly said, no way was it just for intimidation purposes. I think that's a rumour spread by right wingers who are petrified and looking for any excuse and distraction they can find. CNN AND Fox have both been reporting that Trump is fuming about the raid and has been for weeks. The White House is not a happy place to be (or his golf course or wherever he is today)
Not what I meant. The judge obviously gives a warrant because they have a solid case. It's possible they knew the chances of them finding anything incriminating or anything they couldn't just subpoena at his home were slim/non existent but still went ahead because of the message it sends.
Manafort and everyone connected with the campaign now know, in no uncertain terms, that the case is strong enough for a federal judge to grant a search warrant.
The pre-dawn raid aspect reminds me of Brazil's Car Wash investigation, which counted on many of those surprise raids (although most often arrests + search). Indeed after a few of those the potential targets wised up and started to destroy documents and evidence (but were occasionally wire tapped discussing it, so not good for them either). But the Feds would still find some documents lying around it seems, plus hard drives, etc.
Ahhh of course it was all Obama's fault. We should have known.
Trump vs GOP seems to be getting wider by the day.

It's bound to come to a showdown sooner or later.

I saw this this morning and it screams of either a customer prank or a knobhead employee. No way that was meant to be done or done with management approval.
Ahhh of course it was all Obama's fault. We should have known.
Rich white men have been blaming black people for their problems since slavery. Nothing new here.
Obama is hardly on the bread line.
Who said it: Trump or Liam Gallagher?

This is the thing - media in the US and across the world continue to bitch about these guys...call into question their credibility, but then - they continue to give them a pulpit to preach from.I'm sick and tired of this cnut turning up on the BBC..

Knowing all the while - there is no discrediting these people - all the exposure does is normalize them and their 'talking points'.
Brilliant responses to an absolute hatchet job of an interview. I'll look up his book, I do enjoy the histrocity of religion.
Reza had a show on CNN and was sacked because of some of his tweeting about Trump. He's generally a smug guy who wears thin after a few encounters.
I've emailed them. A token gesture but got to get it off my chest. A cursory trawl through this guys past is all you need to know he's full of shit. He's also a such a condescending and arrogant interviewee I'm amazed the BBC keep going back to him. They should say no thanks every time Gorka gets put forward to comment - if DRumpf and his cronies have a message they want to get across they'll soon find someone else.
He's only losing GOP support in the Senate with this sort of crap. Senators are thinking if he can do this to McConnell he can do it to anyone.
He's not being entirely honest about his credentials in that interview.
