Trump threatens to sue top Democrats Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi - CNNPolitics

excerpts:

"Trump said he spoke to his lawyers about Schiff and told them, "Sue him anyway, even if we lose, the American public will understand." Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence committee, is spearheading the impeachment inquiry.

And sue Nancy Pelosi," Trump continued. "Or maybe we should just impeach them, because they're lying and what they're doing is a terrible thing for our country." Members of Congress cannot be impeached, according to the US Constitution."


"The speech and debate clause in the US Constitution, which appears in Article 1, section 6, protects members of Congress from being sued over their statements made on the floor, which also would apply to committees."

Federal judges rule against Trump in 3 cases on executive powers

excerpts:

"Business records

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a lower court decision, ruling that Congress can see eight years of Trump’s business records held by his accounting firm, Mazars USA. The House Oversight Committee had subpoenaed the records after the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen testified that Trump had exaggerated his wealth when applying for loans, which is a crime.


Denying green cards and visas to low-income immigrants

U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels of the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary nationwide injunction blocking a Trump administration rule set to take effect next week that would have made it easier to deny green cards and visas to immigrants who cannot show they will not require public assistance. After the administration announced the new rule, nearly a dozen states filed suit to block it.


Wall funding

U.S. District Court Judge David Briones, in the Western District of Texas, ruled that the declaration of a national emergency under which Trump diverted funds from other agencies to construct a Mexico border wall was unlawful."

 

The Story Keeps Getting Worse for the White House

excerpt:

"There’s a hoary legal adage, “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.” Neither fact nor the law is especially helpful to Trump right now, so the White House is pounding the table ferociously. At the moment, though, few people are heeding the racket."

 

Hollywood writers could never make this shit up! I went totally cross eyed for the first 8 years while collecting all the evidence for my book, and I pity whoever has to collate all the crap he's said and done. Who needs the circus freak show, when you've got PT Barnum in the white house.

 

Trump defends allowing Turkish offensive against Kurds: ‘They didn’t help us in the Second World War’

Trump defends allowing Turkish offensive against Kurds: 'They didn't help us in the Second World War'

excerpt:

"In the face of growing bipartisan anger, President Donald Trump defended his decision to allow a Turkish offensive in northern Syria by saying that the U.S.-allied Kurds — who led the ground campaign against the Islamic State in Syria and are under Turkish attack — did not help the U.S. during World War II.

“Now the Kurds are fighting for their land,” Trump told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday night. “They didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy, for example.”

Trump attributed the points to an article he said he had read, which wasn’t identified, that dismissed the importance of the Kurdish alliance. He suggested that Kurds had battled alongside U.S. forces for “their land.” “They’re there to help us with their land, and that’s a different thing.”

Many Republicans and Democrats alike would object to that last point. Some 11,000 Kurdish forces died assisting the U.S. in the counter-ISIS campaign in Syria, and high-ranking U.S. diplomats and military officials credit much of the victory over the extremist group to the Kurdish fighters."

 

Trump defends allowing Turkish offensive against Kurds: 'They didn't help us in the Second World War'

excerpt:

"After describing the Kurds’ absence on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 and describing the Kurdish fight as one solely for their own land, Trump said, “With all of that being said, we like the Kurds.”"

 

Somebody, anybody, give that man an enema.

 

300+ fighters already dead

And today you post this shit? Twice even

More interested in Trump mumbling than what is going on on Syria right now

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

You lot have been carrying on, calling Trump the next hitler, a fascist

He does the exact opposite, pulls out of another warzone, now this happens:


'Hundreds' of IS relatives escape camp in Syria

 

I really dont understand how you are not putting 2 and 2 together
Turkey is attacking the Kurds because the US forces arent there to help them anymore.
Kurdish forces had to abandon IS prisons to go fight on the front lines because they dont have the manpower to do both.
This is all because Trump pulled out with no strategy and reneged on promises made to an ally and put them in an incredibly precarious position
What about that are you not getting?

And this is coming from someone who doesnt think the US should have been in Syria in the first place, i'm very anti interventionist.. but if a country commits troops they cant just let their allies down by pulling out with absolutely no thought and no strategy, it endangers the lives of the kurdish allies the US has vowed to help
And that sums up Trump's entire MO. No thought, no strategy. He just does what he wants with no regards to anyone else's input or how it will affect anyone else

 

Do you remember the concentration camp thread, you were all calling Trump the next Hitler?

 

Troll someone else dude

 

I think the concerns about Trump being the next Hitler had more to do with his tendencies toward lawlessness, authoritarianism, the use of race to mobilize followers, xenophobic nationalism, and yes, the concentration camps for asylum seekers, than foreign expansionism. Were you expecting a one-to-one correspondence?

 

Duplicate

 

I think its pretty blatantly obvious, the man has a Neo-Nazi agenda and admits it openly, is being shunned by the entire international community, even Fox News has turned against him, and he is inciting civil war, and has insulted every race imaginable. The only thing wrong about comparing him to Hitler, is that Hitler didn't have national television on which he could make a complete fool of himself in front of 300 million viewers. Perhaps we can give him a job as a weatherman, in death valley. Just be sure to give him all the magic markers he could want.

 

Unlike Hitler, though, the man doesn't seem to be acting as an independent agent. To make sense of his foreign policy in the Middle East and the Ukraine, as well as shitty relations with our NATO allies, we need to look to another dictator who seems to be calling the shots--Uncle Vlad. What is the mysterious hold that man seems to have over Trump?

 

Breath taking how you all rationalize it now.

A Republican President that DOESN'T want to go to war. And you all dont know how to handle it

The most peace orientated Republican President since.....well, maybe ever

 

Well, it is vg

I don't think it's that mysterious.
