Trump's Final 100 days
That evaluation is steadily being vindicated. The latest is example is the increase in indictements in the Uranium One case:Quote: SOOPOOBut I steadfastly believe that the country, its border safety, its economy, is in better shape than if HRC was President.
The Hill reported the “FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States.” The report added:
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.
The report went on to state the DOJ kept Congress and the American public in the dark about corrupt Russian nuclear activities happening on U.S. soil during a time when the Obama administration “made two major decisions benefiting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.”

I read at least one article that said they were trucking ore, IDR if they were trucking refined uranium, but it moves all the time. You are talking ore, or [hehe] refined to less than 20%, which is used in medical equipment. The centrifuges that will refine up to twenty percent, and those that will refine up to weapons grade [ 50- 85%] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium, are very different animals. We received Russias weapons grade uranium to process, [which we used in nuke plants] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/business/energy-environment/10nukes.html. I don't know what is wrong with the business? Radioactive trade happens all the time?Quote:Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
I'm sure there is a metric ton of criminal activity they have been witness to, to get them on. But not mining or trucking. Unless it includes the mines closed down, including "Arizona One", that were closed when WJC signed Grand Staircase Escalante act, and made it a National Park?Quote:They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

Clintons or Bush's or Trumps, thats what they do. All of 'em. They are the movers and shakers of the world. Oil comes this way, and grain goes that way.
In their defense, if "they" weren't doing it, somebody else would.

I'll take a Trump any day overs bozo's
like Carter and Obama. And She/Her/It
would have been beyond awful, she had
no platform, no ideas except 8 more years
of Obama.
In my opinion, serious students of Carter's career would conclude that he made ZERO mistakes. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, at all times. And what a calculated image too. Just a peanut farmer. Great smile. Put on a sweater and invite you to his living room, with a cozy fireplace. What a crock. Brilliant, and ruthless. That's why he was picked. One just has to understand who he was working for.

Hey! At least you're admitting that he does nothing while golfing. No more of this "multitasking" B.S. so many righties here keep pushing.
And I like that he constantly golfs. He's too lazy and dumb to actually do his job well, which keeps him from accomplishing much as Prez. That keeps me happy.

He never set up the blind trust and never divested himself from his business empire, making all of his actions as CIC subject to personal interests. But that's the least of our concerns today.
As for the Hill story on Uranium and Russia, ALL business activity in Russia is corrupt in some form or another. Putin is the richest person on the planet. Therefore, having any ties to foreign interests is suspect. And let's remember that before the invasion of Crimea, the actions in Syria, and the 2016 election, the United States was at peace with Russia and did not consider them as enemies. Canada allowed for the sale of the its uranium company to Russia without the same concern, and unlike the United States where people profit from personal interests, there is very little political corruption in Canada.
The question is would a donation to the Clinton Foundation influence decisions made Hillary when she was at State? The right has been asking that question for years, and the answer has always been "we don't know".
This is the thing about geopolitics that people don't understand. Just because a government is bad doesn't mean America should cut off all ties with the government. By doing this, you allow other interests to gain more influence on that government's politics. Take Pakistan. The country harbors terrorists. But by giving up on Pakistan, you allow Russia and China to influence policy there, and then you can't fly US assets over the country, meaning that the only way into Afghan airspace is via Iran (no), China (no), or Turkmanistan + Azerbaijan (no). The same is true in the middle east. The US has to have some ally there where jets can land or fly over to exercise its military might.
Since the wall came down in '87 up to the time that Russia invaded Crimea the US has been at absolute peace with the Russians. This allowed for trade and growth between the two countries and includes things like the purchase and sale of companies, even to purchase raw materials used for Defense purposes, like Uranium, even though governments knew that Putin and its cronies were likely profiting.

Nobody invaded Crimea. Crimea was a Russian speaking majority that voted to rejoin Russia, do to family and historic ties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_status_referendum,_2014Quote: boymimbo.....Since the wall came down in '87 up to the time that Russia invaded Crimea the US has been at absolute peace with the Russians.

From the same article.
A controversial referendum on the status of Crimea was held on March 16, 2014, by the legislature of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and by the local government of Sevastopol (both subdivisions of Ukraine). The referendum requested local populations whether they wanted to join Russia as a federal subject, or if they wanted to restore the 1992 Crimean constitution and Crimea's status as a part of Ukraine. After the events of Euromaidan, the referendum was held during a Russian military takeover of Crimea.[3][4] The referendum was not internationally recognized by most countries.[5]
The Russian military didn't invade The Crimea. It simply took it over.

Most international watchdogs including disinterested parties in the United Nations state that the referendum was illegitimate. It would like a referendum for British Columbia to join the United States with US solidiers at the polling station. This violates Canada's sovereignty and guarantees a forced result.
From what you are saying, it sounds like you support the idea of a part of a nation to be invaded and forced to hold a referendum to secede by the invading party. So, if Canadians decided to invade Point Roberts, WA and told them to hold a referendum to join Canada (which many Point Roberts residents want to do), you would expect the US to validate the result?
"He's done more in one year than Obama did in eight, so I don't care what he does."
"He's not a socialist, so I don't care what he does."
"I'm getting a tax refund this year, which is something that would never happen under Obama, so I don't care what he does."
And here's a hilarious bonus quote I saw just this morning in a comment section about Trump's golfing:
"Obama golfed more than every other president before him combined."

In the same story, she denied the hole (sic) thing.
I put this in as "fake news". Actually, as I have said before, tales of sexual immorality with Trump is simply a double standard. We accepted it in Clinton (who had a multitude of affairs) and Kennedy. We know that Trump is a misogynistic sleaze who could no longer carry a career in Hollywood. But that isn't important. His current actions as president are what one needs to keep the eyeball on. This is just a distraction.
Quote: SOOPOOResponding to Romes.... I read the article you linked.... So she was extorting him, and he has a letter she signed saying nothing happened, and he didn't pay the extortion?

Am I missing something?
I give her more credibility than Trump who is a proven liar over and over again. You are stating that women in the sex industry have no credibility. Given that Trump was in a video for Playboy and also has several photos with those in the sex trade industry simply disproves your 2nd point.
But none of this matters.

I know if i didn't sleep with a woman i wouldn't need her to sign a document stating that. The fact they made her sign it makes it look like he was bribing her to keep silent
Even if she was threatening him with something that didnt happen it makes no sense.

First of all, if you made me guess, I'd guess he was banging her and others as well. But the fact she SIGNED something explicitly stating nothing went on is FAR different than just signing a non disclosure agreement. And I can easily see a woman now seeing DJT as an easy target for extortion, even with no real act or any evidence.

What i don't see is djt easily agreeing to pay any woman who comes out of the woodwork. Especially since he is known for just denying everything including statements hes already been recorded as saying. So why pay a woman and obtain signed documents. That seems suspicious

Kruschev for some unknown reason, just gave Crimea to Ukraine, in 1954, probably thinking that the USSR, would never break up? 60% of Crimean's are ethnic Russian. I'm going by, it's not our business. And Russia will never give up it's naval base in the Black sea at Sevastopol, without all out armed conflict.Quote: boymimboQuote: billryanQuote: petroglyphNobody invaded Crimea.

Similarly, if he were merely 1/10 of an inch shorter, he would also be considered obese.
