billvon 3,008 #253 May 8, 2017 From the article: Dodson said . ..“I know no banks — because of the recession, the Great Recession — have touched a golf course. No one’s funding any kind of golf construction. It’s dead in the water the last four or five years. And this is what he said. He said, 'Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.' I said, 'Really?' And he said, 'Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’” So Russia pumped money into Trump companies and saved several of Trump's golf courses. That was the "pay". The "play?" =================== Donald Trump loosens sanctions preventing Russia intelligence agencies from cyberspying Andrew Buncombe The Independent Thursday 2 February 2017 16:55 GMT Donald Trump's government has loosened sanctions imposed by Barack Obama on Russia's Federal Security Service, that would make it easier for US companies to do business with the intelligence agency. ==================== Can you imagine the stink if a Clinton had done this?

Phil1111 1,149 #254 May 8, 2017 Several of Trump’s critics have moved forward with legal action. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a lawsuit alleging that Trump’s business holdings violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which makes it illegal for government officials to “accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” CREW’s bipartisan legal team includes, among others, Norm Eisen and Richard Painter, who served as ethics lawyers under Presidents Obama and George W. Bush, respectively; Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University; and Zephyr Teachout, a professor at Fordham University (and former congressional candidate) who is considered an authority on the Emoluments Clause. All have been vocally critical of Trump’s continued refusal to sell off his business, and are now taking their case to court . https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/04/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/ President Donald Trump has been sued 134 times in federal court since assuming the presidency in January, the Boston Globe reported Friday. That's nearly three times as many lawsuits as his three most recent predecessors combined, according to the Globe, and an average of more than one suit per day of his still-young presidency. https://mic.com/articles/176466/donald-trump-lawsuits#.zy7nMOF2X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #255 May 9, 2017 rushmc*** So why did Trump claim he had no warnings about Flynn? Why that particular lie? Now in defence of the weirdo in the White House (a building that should have a "Baby on board" sticker on the front door): Trump could say he received no real, credible warning about Flynn. Maybe in his mind some African was flapping his lips about Flynn, trying to sow dissent, but it came from a dubious and partisan source, so that's perhaps a conversation that Trump just wouldn't save into long term memory, and if he did, didn't consider it a real warning.

jakee 1,500 #272 May 9, 2017 Phil1111So why the F**k does everyone blame poor Sean. Because he's a cunt. Longer answer, when the Mafia underling whacks someone we don't say "Oh it wasn't his fault, he was just doing what is boss told him and we all know the Don is a criminal." No, we say that both the mob underling and the mob boss are criminals. Same here. Trump's a pathological liar, sure, but Spicer chooses to regurgitate those lies and defend those lies with just as much conviction.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
