You can do better than that. Both are already worth billions.

They want more billions. Trump would just sell his assets and sit at home if he didn't want more.

That is silly. Putin laments the fact the USSR is no longer and wants to restore Russia to its' former glory. Which president( Trump or Clinton) would assemble a team that would make Putin think twice about being aggressive in his neck of the woods and around the world ? Who was president when Russia annexed The Crimea ? We are currently beefing up our defenses in the Baltic. Do you think Hildabeast would have done so ? I don't.

Tillerson had a $500 billion oil deal blocked by sanctions.

These guys will need to work together and negotiate to become two of the most rich and powerful men in the world.

Covering the real news I see. Can't wait to find out how many times Trump wipes after a bowel movement!

Worthless mainstream media....

 

[gangstonc]

Did he just admit to wiretapping Comey?

Yes. The real news is that Trump made it where we can sell beef products in China again, according to his Twitter. This is a pretty good deal.

Trumps own lawyer just said trump has no income from Russia except for the income he has from Russia.

Debts and loans don't count as income.

 

[Matt]

Oh, if it were only true.

I think Trump was goading Comey over the Gen. Flynn unmasking. Whomever did that committed a felony and Comey seems to not give a damn about pursuing the leaker(s). It was a shot across his bow to be careful, you never know who is listening.

Closer to home, The Alabama legislative session will come to an end next week. The House has been in a battle over redistricting and the Democrats had the bill read which was by a via computer generated voice. It took up two legislative days and roughly 14 or so hours to read. The bill I have been following, House Bill 354, is currently waiting debate in the Senate. It will hopefully come up for debate Tuesday. This bill would allow fantasy sports sites to operate in Alabama once again. It will require the governor's signature to become law.

Law firm trump used to show he has no ties to Russia was named Russia Law Firm of the Year for their extensive ties to Russia.

I can see both sides of the argument, I however agree with the author in this instance. Maternity leave betters society by giving the best chances for a healthy mother and child.

Obama's failed "red line" on Syria resulting in this....

A chilling new report by Amnesty International exposes the Syrian government’s calculated campaign of extrajudicial executions by mass hangings at Saydnaya Prison. Between 2011 and 2015, every week and often twice a week, groups of up to 50 people were taken out of their prison cells and hanged to death. In five years, as many as 13,000 people, most of them civilians believed to be opposed to the government, were hanged in secret at Saydnaya.

Well this is certainly is very intriguing and hopeful to reign in federal overstepping....

I hope this continues to gain traction.

Speaking[URL='http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39931012'] of Russian collusion..[/URL]

Reports that Trump revealed classified information to Russian ambassador and foreign minister.

I wager that we'll hear the "fake news" defense first, then admitting information was shared but it wasn't actually "important" or something of that nature.

National Security Advisor McMaster denied that ever happened....and he was in the room. So it does appear to be fake...lol.

Amazing these "bombshell" stories put out by the left wing media are always from anonymous sources. You think after having a carton of eggs on their face they'd quit...but it never fails.

 

[ARCC]

Yeah I'm not one to defend Trump, but there sure has been a lot of liberal anonymous sources come out of no where in the past few months.

We are just in the first six months of Trump, the press will really begin to fade away if they keep focusing on issues such as these. At this point, Trump could tweet something about liking woman's underwear and an anonymous source would have info that he wears them and i's in transition to become a woman.

McMaster's statement doesn't cover the info that was alleged to have been shared.

Trump has admitted he shared the info. Says he has the right to do so.

He has the right to wear a clown suit to every Oval Office meeting and fling his own poo at a wall. Doesn't mean he should.

More importantly, it wasn't his Intel to share. This wasn't US-based info from our own networks. Absolutely foolish, irresponsible, and unpardonable that he did this. And why? To flirt with the Russians, his HS crushes.

Finally, it is primarily a myth of the anti-anti-Trump Conservative media and alt right that the media has constantly blown stories on Trump, and have used unreliable anonymous sources. Simply not true. The vast majority of stories have been proven to be almost exactly right just about every single time. However, because Trump constantly changes his mind and frequently asks his staff to lie, the Senior Advisors speaking to the media may not always know Trump's latest thoughts. Trump, himself, just explicitly admitted this on Twitter this past Friday.

The Trump admin has zero credibility. Twice now they've sent the VP directly to the media with verifiably false information to be used as a cover. Spicer, Huckabee, Conway, Bannon, etc have all individually been busted lying numerous times.

Trump is completely incompetent. The worst that everyone feared is absolutely coming to pass. The man has admitted he fired the FBI investigation to influence their investigation of his campaign. He has admitted that he shared some of the most sensitive Intel we've got about ISIS (beyond top-secret) with our mortal enemies, Russia. The country that ran a massive influence operation and disinformation campaign to influence and affect our elections. The country (Russia) that has completely contradictory goals to our own policy (and that of our allies) in Syria, and is propping up a war criminal.

I don't know that Trump is compromised by the Russians. I have a difficult time believing in conspiracy theories. But he sure is stupid. There is no doubt about that. Our President is completely incompetent and does moronic and self-defeating things almost daily.

Trump doesn't have a media problem or a staff problem. Trump is Trump's problem. He can't control his shameless need for attention and to be loved, his propensity for exaggeration and outright disdain for the truth, or even slightly hide his extreme narcissism and arrogance.

If he was actually competent or somewhat intelligent it might be possible to look past some of his flaws. But the past 7-8 days has shown he is absolutely not up for the job of POTUS, and the quicker he resigns or is impeached the better (I haven't even covered his lack of morals and ethics or corrupt behavior).

Believe Trump and this administration at your peril. In the past week the media is 7/7 on these stories. The fake news is coming from those lying and spinning for Trump.
