Very good read.
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

So the source of his attack against Obama is Breitbart. Enough said.
Wait a minute, just a week ago wasn't Trump saying that journalists should have to reveal their sources when they make an accusation?
Journalists gonna journalise.

PS seems like Trump wasn't the only draft dodger in his family's history.
PPS I can't wait for the day when he pushes it all too far and the first person gets to use the line, "I prefer presidents who don't get caught"

Aah... the old nature versus nurture argument. Another case of an orange not falling far from its tree.
Incompetence all round. Read down through the replies.
Another early start.
Feckin hell, Donald, you tell us
Aspersions O'Clock! Really scrambling for any old deflection now.
He's in his intelligence briefing, then
Honestly, if you didn't know any better and looked at his twitter, you'd think he was still in opposition and not actually elected, wouldn't you?

Agree. Its as if he lost.
'Fox and Friends' sounds like the name of a kindergarten group. Seems age-appropriate for 45.
The fun thing is that no matter how he tries to deflect it, it's all coming back to him and his or his buddies' ties to Russia. I wish though that there would be more air time for actions in the pipeline: Drastic cuts to the State Department including foreign aid funds, drastic cuts for EPA i.e. climate change programs, new EO regarding immigration ban, tax cuts, ACA changes etc.
In politics though, it only needs the right issue to hit properly and snowball to bring down an administration. Out of that list of things, Trump has already got three getting huge traction no matter what he does.
Who would be thick enough to start a sentence to Putin with the words tell Vladimir... my money is on spicer
I think he knows he is very, very close to the house of cards toppling around him and he's trying to whip his core supporters up into a frenzy and trying his best to discredit anyone and everyone involved in the process of unearthing the truth. He's hoping that will delegitimize all the evidence against him and his team or failing that at least build the impression that it is all a great big establishment created conspiracy.
That was Obama. It was basic bureaucracy though rather than secret collusion to undermine an election through illegal methods.
Regarding the "Tell Vladimir" tweet...

Trump is engaging in serious false equivalency there

It's because of morons like this....
Hate filled, ignorant racists that continuously used Obama's name, skin colour and alleged faith against him. It's despicable, but unfortunately it's how many think and Trump has done absolutely nothing to put any of this to bed, in fact his actions just inflame the situation nationwide, actually with his travel ban, worldwide. It's idiots like this as to why I said "I despair" earlier because someone like this posted a Tweet asking for the Muslim Obama to be publically executed because of the alleged Trump phone hacking story. The hate out there is just so damn frightening.
The irony of course, is that it is almost certain that at least one member of Finch's family is either alive today, or not bankrupt today, because of the ACA.
Arguably the biggest help to the bottom earning half of the population since the new deal, and they hate him for it and want rid of the program most beneficial to them.
Its difficult to comprehend the stupidity, but reading things like that, you realise, it really is because he is Black.

There is plenty of that on both sides as far as I'm concerned both sides are acting like children. Still baffled how Trump and Clinton were the best of the lot to lead America.
If ever Socrates wanted proof he was right, it's right now in the USA.
Not sure how The Independent rates over in the UK, but they've picked up the Stone - Assange tweet story

The GOP is so pathetic. 8 years and about ~50 votes against the ACA and now they essentially try to sneak a watered-down version through the legislator. They are even hiding it from their own MPs....

Donald Trump won not just because of blue-collar white voters, but because of white voters WITH college degrees. Look at these numbers (exit polls, CNN):
Nationwide: 48% of white voters with college degree voted for Trump
Pennsylvania: 48%
Michigan: 51%
Florida: 62%
Wisconsin: 41% (more reasonable, but still sizeable)
North Carolina: 58%
And you can go on and on.
That was the biggest surprise of November 8th. To be clear, I know the GOP nominee typically wins this group, but Trump wasn't supposed to do it. Why did these people decide to go with him is beyond me (Hillary had issues, but so did Trump).

Are we still saying she was just as bad? Or that she was worse? Thought we were passed that to be honest...
Yeah, it's a decent enough paper, with an honest reputation. Definitely one of the better papers. Nice to see someone has picked the story up, I actually thought it would have caused more of a stir than it has.
Not saying that at all, I'm saying they are both shit choices for President. How the feck can a country of 320million people not find any one with a great intellectual capacity that is not corrupted or tainted by the political mainstream who has at the very least the common decency to lead the country. Surely there is someone.
The system is corrupt... And driven by money. I get you tho...
Super delegates.
People are looking for change -- the congress has done feck-all for decades. They just want someone different to shake up the tree. Hillary represented the status quo, [people who do the Washington Dance.) Trump is different. Unpolished so he gets the benefit of the doubt.
Not sure they will think he will be the solution is a year's time though.
The disheartening thing for me is that the Democrats had a "change" candidate also and we we rejected him.
How I would have loved to have seen a Sanders vs. Trump election play out.

Putin must be thinking why he got involved with the likes of Stone, Manafort and Page. These traitors are clearly bricking it and one trip to a CIA black site would make them spill the beans on everything.
Caroline O is the same woman who he was responding to when he admitted to the back channel to Assange.
I wonder if anyone in the IC investigated who he was having dinner with on that Monday night.
As most suspected....
Just put them in a room, with a bucket of water and they will crack within 5.
That Stone stuff is so bad that I wondered if the Twitter a/c was real.
Isn't he? He's despicable, an odious excuse for a human. Just look at how he speaks to women, you can see why Trump likes him so much, yet why people can't see through them both is beyond me. Obviously because they are both so charming.
