When Donald does a presentation on it it will look full scale.
If this is true I can't imagine anyone else saying something like this and it not being seen as a threat. Some might even call it a declaration of war...
Its completely plausible imo. Putin would like nothing more than to break EU and NATO solidarity, which is why he's been funding politicians and right wing movements everywhere from the UK, France, the US, Moldova, Montenegro, Bulgaria etc. Now that right wing populism has finally gained a foothold in various European countries, the rise of Trump in the US is the final piece of the puzzle for Putin to put the squeeze on disassembling Europe.
He is thinking to himself that maybe he will dating this little girl in ten years, maybe she needs some furniture to sweeten the deal.On a more amusing note, just realised Trump had a cameo in Home Alone.
After all is said and done nobody has spoken about the fact that our president will now spend at least two hours every morning getting his hair and makeup done flanked by his own personal bodyguards while cyber bullying the people who had the temerity to speak out against his incompetence the day before.
We have so much to be fearful of but so much to look forward to in his inevitable downfall. State of the Union, foreign visits (protests will be unreal) and medal ceremonies will be cringeworthy I bet. Televised presidential addresses to inform the nation maybe very Orwellian where our leader says one thing and everyone else is thinking the opposite.
Maybe those two guys sitting next to it are giants?
Which is why it's imperative that he's stopped and why republican senators are after him.
It's playing out like the Star Wars prequels with Trump being Jar Jar Binks.
Flynn could be in deep trouble with the Logan Act if this is true and he discussed anything policy related.
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799 ) is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments having a dispute with the U.S. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.

I doubt there are many Col. Claus von Stauffenbergs floating around. Trump has been talking shit for five years now and everyday I still hear the media go on about how they are not prepared and never seen anything like this. cnuts, report the truth and push push push, you have 24hrs a day 7 days a fecking week. If they care they would do wall to wall coverage on Putin corruption and Trump inc. dodgy dealings. These two feckers have plenty of enemies, they just need public protection.
Start taking republicans to task and embarrassing them for their hypocrisy and indifference. Trap them in public confrontation with their constituents where they should be made explain their support for Russian interference, sexual assaults and fraud. Don't let them move an inch without the public knowing and start tracing fake news to its source.
I'm sick of comedians and comical current event shows having to inform the public while 24 hour news spends the whole day on a tweet. I do believe it will be responsible media coverage that will destroy the trump inc. administration, he can't help himself, being criticized is his weakness, continue to do this daily and he will implode.
It's a boy.
What is this? A wall for ants?!
The wall would have to be at least.. three times larger than that.
Picard doesn't look impressed by the wall.
Well it didn't take long for TrumpleThinSkin to attack Mr Lewis.... Inevitable and so predictable. Nice that he slags off a whole area and its population too.
Oh and then this in caps so it must be uber important!

Trump wanting to dismantle the European Union properly have something to do with it won´t give U.S.A a free trade agreement that benefits Trump and his corporate interests. If he is willing to destroy the European economies for his own benefit it would show how utterly stupid and short sighted he is and U.S.A should be treated as a threat with him as president if there is any truth to this. A economical weak Europe that is vulnerable to Russian and Chinese influence would be bad for American interests long term. It would lose a strong global partnership in world affairs while making China and Russia even stronger on the world stage. If Trump can´t see this he really is extremely stupid beyond belief and i hope he won´t stay in office for long for both European and American interests sake.
Michael Jackson knew that but did trump inc.?
SALE NOW ON!
Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Wall Street should be worried if that's the case.
Probably not, no, however, apparently he got the information from a fake news site and the intelligence agencies have said no such thing. I have seen nothing to confirm his ranting Tweet as of yet. I think it's just him going off on one again trying to divert attention away from his problems. His supporters will lap it up i'm sure. BUT! His support has dropped over 3 points in the last couple of weeks or so, as I said a couple of months ago, all his mad rantings and actions will cost him to bleed support, albeit very slowly, but it's getting harder and harder to defend him the longer this charade goes on. The more he goes back on his campaign promises, the more he insults his supporters and the more shit that is uncovered about him, one by one he loses support. Soon he will be left with only his extremist supporters and he will be in deep shite.
He's still preaching to the converted, long after the election is over.
That OANN thing is an obscure new right wing media tv channel where Lewandowski now works. I'm assuming in true Breitbart form, they're going to start manufacturing fake news, which Trump will then reference on Twitter, which will essentially create a pro-Trump fake news narrative that the main stream media will have to cover and discuss.

Thanks for that. Unbelievable, he is a rule unto himself. He is showing absolutely no decorum or respect for the position he is soon about to fill. The difference between the outgoing and incoming administrations is remarkable. Citing fake stories as real is hugely irresponsible and yet another reason why he really shouldn't be President. Surely there is a code of conduct that the President is supposed to follow?
Surprised he didn't call Lewis a loser. For those who don't know him, Lewis has a very strong civil rights background.

Bloody Sunday" eventsEdit
On March 7, 1965, an estimated 525 to 600 civil rights marchers headed southeast out of Selma on U.S. Highway 80. The march was led by John Lewis of SNCC and the Reverend Hosea Williams of SCLC, followed by Bob Mants of SNCC and Albert Turner of SCLC. The protest went according to plan until the marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge and entered Dallas County, where they encountered a wall of state troopers and county posse waiting for them on the other side.
County Sheriff Jim Clark had issued an order for all white males in Dallas County over the age of twenty-one to report to the courthouse that morning to be deputized. Commanding officer John Cloud told the demonstrators to disband at once and go home. Rev. Hosea Williams tried to speak to the officer, but Cloud curtly informed him there was nothing to discuss. Seconds later, the troopers began shoving the demonstrators, knocking many to the ground and beating them with nightsticks. Another detachment of troopers fired tear gas, and mounted troopers charged the crowd on horseback.[55][56][page needed]
Televised images of the brutal attack presented Americans and international audiences with horrifying images of marchers left bloodied and severely injured, and roused support for the Selma Voting Rights Campaign. Amelia Boynton, who had helped organize the march as well as marching in it, was beaten unconscious. A photograph of her lying on the road of the Edmund Pettus Bridge appeared on the front page of newspapers and news magazines around the world.[8][57] In all, 17 marchers were hospitalized and 50 treated for lesser injuries; the day soon became known as "Bloody Sunday" within the black community.[7]

Trump's twitter feed comments are just a mess. Even people with no political affiliation are using it to flog their products.
I can't understand how they could be comprehended in any other way than the incoherent ramblings of a madman.
People are quickly finding out an easy way to wind Trump up will be to question his legitimacy, at which point he will head directly for his smartphone and embarrass himself. That sort of thing may have worked during the campaign but it will just help to lower his poll numbers during his Presidency, at which point other Republicans will question their support of him. That's when things may get interesting.
Fantastic piece on how fake news is propagated.

My bad about the subs. But the Chinese do have naval superiority in the western Pacific, I think. Also, their defensive capabilities are what is called "carrier killer ", that is, designed to attack any US carrier groups that approached. Times have changed, 20 years ago the US would not have shown much caution, nowadays, in the event of conflicto, they'd have to think twice before sailing through the South China Sea with their behemoths because they are more vulnerable than they were.
Why is Trump telling the Europeans or at least the EU to spend more on defence ? I suspect it's because the money and resources are needed for the Pacific. America's military remit is not what it was. Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and so on and cannot be controlled as easily as they once were. remember, I'm talking about trends, not imminent events.
Trump regards the world through the eyes of a businessman.
70% of the cost of European defense is borne by the US. Trump looks at that rather remarkable fact and asks why. There are no freebies in his world - a business pays for services rendered. Europe is rich, so why shouldn't it meet the cost of defending itself? It's a good question.
Yes, but my focus is on the geopolitical reasons, which I think may be related to the coming confrontation in the Pacific. Does he plan to free up arms and soldiers in preparation for a stand off with China ?
Ironic also coming from a nation that invented the slogan " No taxation without representation" !
Attacking John Lewis is...dumb.
Can they not just ignore it? Drawing attention to all that nonsense is only going to bring more traffic to those sites.
That's already been answered during 1939-1945. But simpletons who don't understand history still ask it, I suppose.
Europe relying on the US has typically suited the Americans down to the ground, though. It's given them massive military sway and ensured no European country challenges them as the dominant military power. Wanting Europe to pay their fair share is fine, but there's no use in acting as if Europe have been screwing over the US when the situation has perfectly benefited America.
Exactly. The point about NATO members not meeting the 2% GDP requirement, is that the US doesn't really care that much primarily because the existence of NATO is far more important to the US in terms of geopolitical influence.
Very much so. I'm fine with the US wanting EU countries to pay their 2%, but to spring it on us all suddenly, without acknowledgement that the current agreement has suited the US down to the ground and hasn't screwed them over in the slightest is a dick move.
Really thought this guy would be totally uneventful and that he would just breeze along in his new role and take the easy way out, which would have been the sensible option.
But the guy really can't help himself, can he? One of the biggest narcissists I've ever seen.

Anyone read the full dossier ? Riveting stuff.
