‘Non-stop bullying and hypocrisy’: Boston paper shreds draft-dodging Trump for attacking veteran Blumenthal

Responding to President Donald Trump’s vicious tweets aimed at Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) over his military service, a columnist for the Boston Globe unloaded on the president for his continuing attacks on veterans after having ducked the military himself.

Monday morning, Trump took time out from his vacation to attack Blumenthal following his appearance on CNN where the senator remarked that a grand jury investigation could turn up evidence of serious wrongdoing by the president and his campaign associates during the 2016 campaign.

“Never in U.S. history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal,” Trump tweeted. “He told stories about his Vietnam battles and. conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?”

“The president is staying true to the presidential candidate. As his critics continue to note, there’s no grace or humility, just non-stop bullying and hypocrisy,” she wrote, before concluding, “With his latest tweets, Trump displays even more disrespect and disregard for people who have actually served in the military and truly sacrificed. Trump can’t stop himself and no one can stop him. It’s not shocking any more, just depressing.”

‘I hate when people take credit for an election I won’: Trump blows his top over Bannon-praising book

President Donald Trump has once again balked at the notion that his adviser and former Breitbart CEO Steve Bannon won him the election.

According to sources who spoke with The Daily Caller, Trump complained about a new book by Bloomberg writer Joshua Green that recounts how Bannon’s nationalist fans helped him win the presidency.

“I hate it when people take credit for an election I won,” Trump reportedly said while decrying Green’s book, titled Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency.

The source also said Trump has complained about the late 2016 Forbes cover story that painted son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner as the “mastermind” behind his winning campaign.

He doesn't even give Hillary the credit from be so abysmal to lose to him!

‘Somebody needs to just rein him in’: Arizona Trump voters turning on president as his agenda collapses

In a CNN report on changing attitudes towards President Donald Trump after just six months in office, Arizona conservatives are already giving up on the president for failing to fulfill his campaign promises.

CNN was allowed to sit on on focus groups held in Phoenix last week by the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA, where some Trump voters stated that have no intention of voting for the president should he run for reelection in 2020.

“I loved him because he was different, and I thought that he really was going to do a lot of change — good changes. I hated Obama, so I was ready for a change,” one Republican voter stated before adding that she has already run out of patience with Trump after only six months.

“Whether it’s the tweets or just some of the things — like the thing he just said about the cops. Somebody needs to just rein him in,” she continued . “Before I felt like he could do it all, and now — if somebody could just control him a little bit.”

May I suggest a choke chain collar and a short leash?

"Jerk, Sit Donald, Jerk, Stay Donald, Jerk, STFU Donald!"

Or a stake through where the heart would normally have been.

 

[sharingfantasies]

As opposed to Trump, who never says a dumb thing and never told a lie in his life.

My post had nothing to do with Trump really. I was just saying i don't always trust Walters. I wasn't making a comparison to anyone, but if you want to, go ahead.

You would probably need a shock collar. I don't think a choke chain would be enough to keep him from Twitter.

Donald Trump pays one staffer $89,000 in taxpayer dollars to dig up positive news about him

President Donald Trump is so desperate for positive news about himself that he’s paying White House director of rapid response Andy Hemming $89,000 to find good stories.

As the most recent CNN poll reveals, only one in four Americans trust Trump’s White House for basic information. The numbers show that even Trump’s own supporters don’t believe what he’s saying. The numbers make the Trump agenda much more vulnerable as his coattails aren’t strong enough to carry members of his own party.

Politico cited public disclosures on the salary of the 31-year-old Hemming. However, news that he spends his days scouring radio, television and the web for stories that celebrate the Trump agenda came from Trump’s own allies.

The “gossipy” commander-in-chief has demanded that his staff defend him on accusations that he won the popular vote, despite coming up 3 million short. He’s launched a commission to try and prove he actually won the majority of Americans. He’s gotten into fights over his inaugural crowd size. He has also demanded unflattering photos of him be deleted and mandated fake copies of a non-existant TIME magazine cover story be displayed in his properties.

“It’s an important role,” former Trump spokesman Jason Miller told Politico of Hemming’s role. “There’s so much good news that’s coming out of this administration, that we have to continue pushing all of these positive messages ourselves to remind people there’s a lot going on.”

“Andy does an incredible job of finding those hidden gems and trying to amplify those positive messages,” said press secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders. “He’s quick and I would say he has a very good pulse on what’s hot, but also on what wasn’t hot but should be.”

Yes, an important role to stroke Trump's ego so he doesn't go completely bat shit crazy!

Trump’s base is falling out according to a new poll from CNN that is corroborated by a slew of new polls that show his disapproval ratings up around 60 percent. LOW RATINGS!

But will Hemming every actually get paid? Tromp has a history of screwing employees, contractors, taxpayers, and everybody else. Do the work or deliver the product. Tromp says he doesn't like the results and won't pay the agreed-upon price. Hope Hemming demanded pay in advance.

Trump reportedly gets daily ‘propaganda document’

While some people need a cup of coffee to start their day, that is a habit from which President Donald Trump famously abstains. Nowadays, he apparently opts for a healthy serving of propaganda instead.

Vice News reported Tuesday that Trump is fed documents each morning and afternoon assembled by White House and Republican National Committee (RNC) staffers that are collections of headlines seen as pleasing to the president—an attempt to soothe a man notorious for flying off the handle on social media in reaction to news coverage that displeases him. The only feedback ever given on the folder reportedly was that it needed to be even more positive.

Maybe if he paid the guy $100K and intern privileges, he'd get better propaganda?

I am sure he will get paid as it isn't coming from Trump's wallet but ours. Although, if he can't find enough positive messages to satisfy Trump, then he could be fired.

Manafort's home raided by the FBI last month. How VERY interesting

 

[JackLuis]

Why did Trump’s favorite tabloid launch a hit against Manafort the same day FBI raid news leaked?

On Wednesday morning, news leaked that the FBI last month had conducted a pre-dawn raid of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s home in Alexandria, Virginia.

Roughly one hour later, the National Enquirer published an article allegedly exposing Manafort being involved in a “sick sex scandal” that involved affairs with women who were significantly younger than his wife.

The Enquirer hit on Manafort is notable because the tabloid has consistently been a major booster to President Donald Trump — and has not been shy about attacking his perceived enemies.

During the Republican presidential primary last year, for instance, the Enquirer ran a piece alleging that Trump rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had had multiple extra-marital affairs. Similarly, the tabloid this year ran a salacious story about Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski that ran at around the same time the couple announced their engagement.

According to Scarborough, the White House had called the couple and told them that the president himself would intervene personally to get the Enquirer to spike its story on them if they publicly apologized on air for their negative coverage of his administration.

Additionally, a Wall Street Journal report from 2016 revealed that the Enquirer paid a former Playboy model $150,000 for her account of an affair that she’d had with Trump — only to completely sit on the story and never publish it.

As if that weren’t enough, actress Selma Hayek last October claimed that Trump had used the Enquirer to plant a phony story about her after she turned him down for a date.

Given the publication’s history of both promoting negative stories against Trump’s enemies and burying stories that make him look bad, its decision to run an anti-Manafort story on the same day the Washington Post revealed an FBI raid on his home is very curious.

Coincidence? Trump and Scaramucci kicked off a bonkers news cycle in the hours after Manafort raid

About an hour after FBI agents conducted a predawn raid at Paul Manafort’s home, President Donald Trump started tweeting.

He started his morning at 7:15 a.m. on July 26 by tweeting a complaint at Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who had voted the day before against advancing the Republican health care bill that ultimately failed, and then at 8:55 a.m. the president announced a ban on transgender military service members.

But a pair of tweets, from 9:48 and 9:52 a.m., suggests Trump may have been tipped off to the FBI raid of his campaign chairman’s home in Virginia — which went unreported for exactly two weeks.

Fox host claims Paul Manafort is the victim after FBI raid: ‘Some might call it witness intimidation’

Fox News host Jon Scott and a panel of guests speculated that Special Counsel Robert Mueller raided the home of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as a “witness intimidation” tactic.

“Paul Manafort said he had been cooperating,” Scott noted on Wednesday. “Some might call it witness intimidation.”

“There was no reason a special counsel could not have issued a grand jury subpoena,” Hans Von Spakovsky of the conservative Heritage Foundation agreed. “There is no reason a search warrant and a raid was necessary, particularly given the cooperation of this particular witness with all these committees in Congress.”

Oh Bob, how could you be so mean?

China warns against stoking Korea tensions after Trump threatens ‘fire and fury’

China responded to US President Donald Trump’s apocalyptic “fire and fury” threat against North Korea by pointedly warning on Wednesday against any rhetoric that could inflame tensions over Pyongyang’s weapons programmes.

Calling the situation on the Korean Peninsula “complicated and sensitive”, China’s foreign ministry issued a statement warning that parties involved in the impasse should avoid “words and actions that escalate the situation”.

The ministry had been asked to respond to Trump’s comment on Tuesday that North Korea would “be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen” if it did not refrain from further bellicose threats against the United States.

Trump’s warning came as Pyongyang said it was considering a missile strike near the US territory of Guam and after US media reported North Korea may have successfully miniaturized a nuclear warhead, considered a key step in becoming a full nuclear power.

Or, "STFU Donald one idiot is hard enough to handle!"

Flashback of Hillary’s prescient warning: ‘A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have nuclear codes’

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton issued a warning during a 2016 campaign debate with now-President Donald Trump that may be more important than ever as the U.S. inches closer to nuclear war with North Korea.

“His cavalier attitude about nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling,” she explained during a debate in September. “That is the number one threat we face in the world. And it becomes particularly threatening if terrorists ever get their hands on any nuclear material. So, a man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes.”

I'll bet you Trump Chumps are reconsidering your votes now!

]Is Trump Trying To Grab Robert Mueller By The Pussy And Take Him Furniture Shopping?

President Trump has publicly called the widening federal investigation into Russia’s election meddling a “witch hunt.” But through his lawyer, Trump has sent private messages of “appreciation” to special counsel Robert Mueller.

“He appreciates what Bob Mueller is doing,” Trump’s chief counsel John Dowd told USA TODAY in an interview Tuesday. “He asked me to share that with him and that’s what I’ve done.”

Trump’s legal team has been in contact with Mueller’s office, and Dowd says he has passed along the president’s messages expressing “appreciation and greetings’’ to the special counsel.

“The president has sent messages back and forth,’’ Dowd said, declining to elaborate further.

Unfortunately, since we’ve seen this movie before, we know how it ends, with Trump trying to figure out a way to do the the Saturday Night Massacre to Robert Mueller. Hopefully Congress is serious about kicking Trump’s ass when he does.

A 25-Year Army Vet Explains the North Korea Warning Sign He's Waiting For

Trump will continue to throw tantrums. Keep an eye on James Mattis.

his is a crisis of American making, and more particularly a crisis created by the Trump administration. On Tuesday, there was a briefing by the United States government to various members of what Trump calls the "fake news." You can decide how "fake" they might be (or how much hypocrisy was involved) in this act. It was tough to tell that this was effectively an "official leak," because the reports all referred to anonymous sources. As The Washington Post put it:

North Korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles, crossing a key threshold on the path to becoming a full-fledged nuclear power, U.S. intelligence officials have concluded in a confidential assessment.

It went on, further making it look like this story was the result of deep investigating by the paper.

"The IC [intelligence community] assesses North Korea has produced nuclear weapons for ballistic missile delivery, to include delivery by ICBM-class missiles," the assessment states, in an excerpt read to The Washington Post. Two U.S. officials familiar with the assessment verified its broad conclusions. It is not known whether the reclusive regime has successfully tested the smaller design, although North Korea officially claimed last year that it had done so. The DIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.

The problem here is that the White House itself authorized some senior leaders or briefers to give this information out, but only "on background." According to the unwritten rules of press-relations, that means that the reporters cannot reveal who gave them the information.

Nuclear Squirrels!​

Ever since Trump's been in office it strikes me that it's been a never-ending parade of idiots, liars, criminals, sexual harassers, Mobsters, cheaters, obstructors, white supremicists, Nazis, and babbling, incompetent old men.

‘Load of nonsense’: North Korea mocks Trump’s nuke threat and doubles down on Guam strike

North Korea on Wednesday once again defied Donald Trump’s threat of “fire and fury,” issuing a statement saying it is “seriously examining” a plan for an “enveloping strike at Guam” that will hit the waters 30 to 40 km away from the U.S. territory, KCNA reports.

The statement also called Trump’s threat a “load of nonsense” and insisted “only absolute force” can work on the United States.

“Such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him,” the statement reads.

Holy SHit!

‘What’s happening?’: Fox’s Shep Smith stunned by ‘drama and mixed messages’ in Trump’s North Korea response

Trumpanzies insist they are "all on the same page," but it doesn't appear they are in the same library, let alone the same book!

Fox News’ Shep Smith on Thursday appeared shocked by the “drama and mixed messages” pouring from Donald Trump’s administration in response to increasing tensions with North Korea, asking “what’s happening here?”

“The drama and mixed messages from within the Trump administration over North Korea continues,” Smith said after Trump declared his “fire and fury” message to the rogue nation may not have been “tough enough.”

“The State Department spokesperson claiming everybody is staying in their lanes, all speaking from one voice, not on different pages,” Smith said, referring to former colleague Heather Nauert’s press conference Wednesday. “That was just yesterday,”

‘He’s delusional – he’s paranoid’: Former GOP Sen. who switched parties demands Congress invoke the 25th

When former Sen. Gordon Humphrey (I-NH) left the Republican Party he said it was because he couldn’t in good conscience be part of what President Donald Trump was doing to the United States, and indeed, the world.

During an appearance with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Humphrey refused to bash Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for his policy decisions in Congress. Instead he called Trump’s behavior “insane” and called on Congress and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would remove Trump for being incapacitated or unable to serve.

“I think honestly, it’s time for members of Congress and the cabinet especially to come to conclusions about this mountain of empirical evidence that the president is laboring under mental impairment,” he said. “He is delusional, he’s paranoid. He’s not a well man. He’s dangerous.”
