Trump's Final 100 days
Quote: gamerfreakHannity: “Did you ever meet with any other person from Russia?”
Donnie Jr: “I don’t even know.” He quickly amended the statement, saying, “I’ve probably met with other people from Russia”

Since Obama wiretapped trump tower, we should be able to know the content of the meeting exactly.
I've also taken some inspiration from your avatar, and updated mine as well 😜😜😜😜😜
Your poor boy Obama didn't even get a gift and it wasn't for lack of trying.

Haha. I was just thinking to myself, "isn't he like in his 50s or something? Sad!"

Cause that one was actually funny.
One is satire of a universally known iconic moment in a beloved film and the other is obscene.

FWIW I thought they were both kinda funny
Liberal or conservative, I don't support any politician having any interaction with Saudi Arabia other than a giant middle finger.
The Saudi's are the only govt. with proven ties to 9/11. Fifteen out nineteen of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, yet that country is conviently absent from Trump's travel ban list, and we still sign hundred billion dollar arms deals with them.
Trump is just as weak in dealing with Saudi Arabia and Obama was or Hillary would have been. Sad.

Bush and Cheney were the REAL masterminds behind it.

As much as we have disdain for America's alliance with Saudi Arabia, strategically Arabia is a huge state and is probably the largest neutralish state in the region. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen are all unstable countries. America has to pick and choose its allies unfortunately and none of them are ideal.
President Trump was met by the King.
Trump followed this with one of the greatest speeches ever given by a US President. For the first time ever, a US President went to the seat of Islam and denounced terrorism and extremism, and those who support it.
Out of respect for President Trump, for the first time ever, and much to the appreciation of the Israelis, the Saudis in a very significant gesture, allowed a US President to fly directly from Riyadh to Israel. No mention of this by the MSM networks of course.
WAPO
No mention in MSM of course, that in December, before Trump even took office, President Sisi of Egypt withdrew a UN resolution denouncing Israel at his request.
Arriving in Saudi Arabia:
Arriving in Israel: "Welcome, my good friend."
"They worship death":
"Drive them out of this Earth"

Kind of like Kim Jong Un respect.
Because it was hilarious... except Melania's boobs should probably have been bigger.Quote: RSI see none of the liberals here criticized ams288 for the picture he posted a few pages back...
IF the dems were smart (lol) then they would let the republicans defend Trump Jr for a bit... then use RICO to literally clean sweep them ALL from office.
Today's republicans literally do put party of country, and that should be considered treason as well.
No, not really. If I were the president and it was customary in another country to bow to their leader, then I would. If they thought that meant I was "weak" then "come at me, bro" and try to attack my country so I can remove yours from the earth with a new place we call "The Hole." This crap is so overplayed and it means absolutely NOTHING. I don't care if either of them bowed, because it doesn't mean crap.Quote: MaxPenHere's your puppet bowing for real. Notice that he is receiving nothing from the old man. There is a huuuuuge difference.
Quote: MaxPenHere's your puppet bowing for real. Notice that he is receiving nothing from the old man. There is a huuuuuge difference.
So let me get this straight....
Obama bows out of professional respect and etiquette, and people lose their minds because he's "submitting" to some foreign power....
Yet Trump also bows AND receives an AWARD from that exact same foreign power and there's not a peep from those same people?
If you really felt that it was wrong for one President to bow to a foreign power, then you should absolutely livid to learn that another President is willfully receiving awards by that same foreign power. If I was in that mindset I would think that is 100 times worse.
Personally, though, I don't give a crap. I don't have a problem with either one of them bowing or getting medals, because that's what world leaders do when they meet.
One of them was this Rinat guy. The GOP already labeled him a Soviet counterintelligence officer in April of this year..... so they'll have trouble walking that back. lol
Quote: RSI see none of the liberals here criticized ams288 for the picture he posted a few pages back...
I see you're doing a standard deflection from what's actually being discussed...lame tactic.
Trump bowing v Obama bowing: who cares? You either say nothing because you don't care, protest to both's action because you do care. But to gleefully tout one's party progress and diss the other's when it is essentially the same item is reaching for straws and proves your hypocrisy.
The excuses from the right from Junior's meeting with Russian? Didn't Hillary do something comparable and no one screamed then? Well, you did. Investigations (aka witchhunts) were held. Investigations concluded, and the right is still screaming 8 months after the election.
And Donald saying most people would have had the meeting (with Russia). No, President Don, they wouldn't. And that's the morality that is devoid in this Executive branch and their followers. It is not okay to collude with a foreign power to win an election. It's actually illegal. And that is sad.
Trump got where he is by being a serial liar , and cheating his investors. Why would he change now?
Quote: boymimboDidn't Hillary do something comparable and no one screamed then?
Frankly, if they want to take court action on illegal activities on all these other people still, fine with me.
But at the moment, I wouldn't let Trump slide on a parking ticket. And if they think anyone is going to lay off Trump, they can choke on that thought.
We're not moving down to accept Trump as the new standard of behavior for POTUS.
This boorish freak will be held to standards, not make them. Period. (In my not so humble opinion ) So there.
Pretty soon Don Jr. is gonna be like, "Oh wait. I forgot. Putin joined in via Skype halfway through."
Republicans Senators are working hard to get their failed ObamaCare replacement approved. I will be at my desk, pen in hand!
WTF
So the replacement is a failure????????????
Quote: ams288LOL - CNN is reporting that 8 people were at the Don Jr. meeting.

And his Dad happened to wander in, looking for the days sports section. One of the "forgotten" people just happened to be a former Soviet Intelligence Officer.
Stuff happens.
Sentence structure is not one of trumpy's strengths.Quote: terapinedTrump tweeted

They were both hilarious. Even funnier how y'all responded to the gif of Obama "bowing".
Quote: beachbumbabsI see you're doing a standard deflection from what's actually being discussed...lame tactic.
Liberals were crying (sorry, "discussing") the Obama "bowing" gif. I continued the discussion. Saying I am deflecting the discussion is itself a deflection.

Where is this gif you're talking about?? I didn't see it in the thread....?
But ohmygod, guys, look.... Obama is bowing to a robot....
Why is he submitting to a robot overlord?!? Sad!! Haha...
This is his summary. Simply a must read.
C.S. Lewis posited three elements that make up human beings. There is the intellect, residing in the head. There are the passions, residing in the stomach (and slightly lower). And then there are trained, habituated emotions — the “stable sentiments” of character — which Lewis associated with the chest.
In the realm of political ethics, voters last year did not prioritize character in sufficient numbers, during the party primaries or the general election. Now we are seeing the result. “In a sort of ghastly simplicity,” Lewis said, “we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”

Ha... I let out a little chortle at that one.
"One of the things with the wall is you need transparency," Trump said. "You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall — so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall.... And I'll give you an example: As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over,"
"There is a chance that we can do a solar wall. We have major companies looking at that. Look, there's no better place for solar than the Mexico border — the southern border. And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall....We are seriously looking at a solar wall."
And we're somehow going to force Mexico to pay for it. Somehow.

Laws of physics Don: Walls are vertical. Sun at that latitude will be almost directly above. Surface area of solar panels exposed to the sun, not enough to be efficient and I suppose the Mexicans are going to wash them for you, maintain them, and take great care of the millions of electrical connections between them. No chance that they might deface or damage them or pretty them up with a nice mural?
This image of Mexicans throwing bags of drugs over a wall, only for them to land on American's heads:. Pure comic book. Who writes that idiots scripts?

It makes absolutely no sense on multiple levels...
Who can just casually toss 60lbs of anything over a ~20 foot wall? That is literally world-class strongman type of strength.
Why would a drug dealer just casually lob 60lbs (or any amount) of drugs over a wall with no plan and no guarantee that any of his comrades would be on the other side to collect it?
Why are Americans just randomly hanging out next to the wall in the middle of nowhere, waiting to be hit on the head with stuff?
If the wall has holes/slits/windows in it, why wouldn't they just pass the drugs through the holes instead of throwing it over the top?
Quote: CBS News, Feb 13, 2017They reported finding a catapult system attached to the south side of the fence and two bundles of marijuana, weighing more than 47 pounds combined.
Agents dismantled the catapult, which was seized by Mexican authorities.
Federal authorities say in recent years, smugglers have thrown drug bundles over the border or shot them over with devices such as air-powered cannons and catapults.
Quote: boymimboProbably referring to this catapult which was discovered at the border which of course would clear a wall if constructed properly and could probably hurt someone if someone tried to catch its cargo.
Well, then that part of the story makes a lot more sense from a technical standpoint, but there's still no way any innocent bystander is randomly going to be hit by something like that, so that part of the story is still idiotic.
Quote: boymimboThe right is now saying that the people meeting Trump's henchmen were Obama operatives. One year, later, the right claimed, the controversy was activated. Which makes perfect sense when you think about it, really. Doesn't it? DOESNT' IT???
Now, if Trump Senior was in that meeting and why wouldn't he be . . . How would they feed that to the media? Very slowly and reluctantly with a 'so what' or two along the way.
Please let it be so. He'd be bu66ered then: Literally.
'The right' who spout such cr4p should serve jail time as co conspirators. Maybe one day they will.Quote: boymimboThe right is now saying that the people meeting Trump's henchmen were Obama operatives.
I must say, as an outsider, the Media is doing some good stuff. What the hell are the Democrats doing? Sitting on their hands? Barely a peep fro the Democrats. Is that because they know they have too many skeletons in their own cupboards? Or is it in their long term interest to see trumpy destroy the GOP? I'm sure a decent opposition party would be massively active in instigting rallies, marches, protest groups, all sorts. They just seem to be abdicating their duties.
Quote: boymimboProbably referring to this catapult which was discovered at the border which of course would clear a wall if constructed properly and could probably hurt someone if someone tried to catch its cargo.
So. Solution to a $200 catapult would be a $15 Billion solar array. Lucky the Mexican bad guys can't afford a bigger elastic band. Or some ladders, scaffolding or the dirt to build a ramp.

I don't understand why they think that would absolve any guilt... if you go to have sex with a prostitute, but it turns out that prostitute is a cop on a sting, you're still guilty of soliciting prostitution.
Different reality matey. Don't confuse matters with logic.Quote: TigerWuI don't understand why they think that would absolve any guilt... if you go to have sex with a prostitute, but it turns out that prostitute is a cop on a sting, you're still guilty of soliciting prostitution.
In trump reality, there is a very limited repertoire of responses: Distract, Deflect, Project..
He's like the kid at school, who everyone saw picking his nose, You could present him with a room full of witnesses, a video recording of the event and show him the bogie that he left on his sleeve, and he would simply just repeat louder and louder that it was someone else until you just gave up.
The truth and logic have no place in Trumpworld. 'The right' are just totally getting dragged into his universe and with all the new 'normality' that is being set, maybe we all are.
The emperor has no clothes, but so many cannot, do not or will not see.
