Republicans Close To Trump Say President Is Showing Signs Of Mental Illness



Come On, Mikey!

Maybe it's more "come on Trump's personal physician." The man's proven he'll write whatever conclusions someone wants him to write. Trump could be written up as having an alien inside him squeezing his organs and making him do what he's done and I'd say most would be happy to nod their heads at this.

Former Republican lawmaker stuns CNN panel when he says Trump isn’t smart enough to be president

David Jolly, a former Republican congressman from Florida, stunned a CNN panel on Monday morning when he said President Donald Trump isn’t “intellectually qualified” to be president.

When asked by CNN’s Poppy Harlow whether Trump should publicly apologize if it’s revealed that he was wrong in accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the 2016 election, Jolly said that he should — but he also said that an apology wouldn’t mask Trump’s other major shortcomings as president.

“There’s a bigger issue, whether this president is intellectually qualified to be President of the United States,” Jolly said.

They never said that about 'W'! They never said that about Ronnie, well maybe not like that, but Trump intellectual, nope he's not an intellectual he is an asshole.

‘Sean Spicer doesn’t believe Sean Spicer at this point’: Watch Angela Rye ridicule press secretary’s lies

Asked to comment, Rye smirked before calling out members of the White House inner circle.

“That’s rich, Don, come on. Sean Spicer doesn’t believe Sean Spicer at this point,” Rye stated before rolling her eyes and adding, “His eyes were just like, ‘Just because you’re on the golf course, doesn’t mean you’re really golfing.'”

“It’s ridiculous, there’s nothing even to say here,” she continued. “We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe the words that are coming out of his mouth. We know that Sean Spicer doesn’t believe the words comes out of his mouth. We know when Kellyanne Conway, even when she creates an artful term like ‘alternative facts,’ doesn’t believe the words coming out of her mouth. And the level of hypocrisy is frankly astonishing.”

Trumpanzy to the core, a liar.

Trump’s first 100 days ‘most failed’ ever, historian says

"This is the most failed first 100 days of any president," Brinkley told the Washington Post Tuesday. "To be as low as he is in the polls, in the 30s, while the FBI director is on television saying they launched an investigation into your ties with Russia, I don't know how it can get much worse. "

Give Trump a chance, he can make it worse, oh ye of little faith!

Trump would be wise to negotiate a resignation before his presidency is fatally wounded

One Republican on the panel, Mike Conaway of Texas, asked Comey how he could be so sure the Russians were for Trump. “Logic,” Comey answered, stifling a smirk. If they were against Clinton, who’d pressed a hard line against Putin’s multi-pronged “hybrid war” against Europe and repression of dissidents at home, that meant they were for Trump, whose ties to Russian oligarchs led the Kremlin to think it might get a better deal. At first the Russians “focused on undermining her presidency,” which until Election Day looked like a cinch, Comey said. Trump’s victory was an unexpected bonus.

Lest any Trump supporter hope the feds were through with him after the election, Comey relieved them of that illusion, too. The FBI, he said, was continuing to investigate “the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

"He will die in jail," was a quote from the Dark State IC. Bluster or Prophecy?

I goggled "Trump owes Russians money," and found this from October.

How much money does The Trump Organization owe Russia and China?
By Former Reps. Jim Slattery and … - 10/21/16 02:02 PM EDT

n 2008, Donald Trump Jr. — the GOP nominee’s son and the VP for Development for The Trump Organization — told attendees at a real estate conference in New York City that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Americans need to know how much money has poured into The Trump Organization from Russia and from whom. Sergei Millian, the president of the U.S. Russian Chamber of Commerce and friend of Trump, claims in 2016 the figure is in the hundreds of millions.

Russians are not the only American adversaries to support Trump’s business. The state-owned Central Bank of China has loaned Trump hundreds of millions of dollars. The New York Times has reported that American companies owned by Trump have at least $650 million in debt and the Bank of China is among the lenders. Voters need to know how much Trump and his businesses owe Chinese banks as well as Russian oligarchs.

We have never elected a president who has such undisclosed financial entanglements with countries hostile to our interests. Americans need to know the extent of these entanglements with Russia and China before casting their votes. We do not want to wake up the day after election to learn that we have elected a president who owes Putin’s oligarch friends in Russia and the Central Bank of China hundreds of millions of dollars.

It is now almost April and we are learning what happens when you elect an idiot, incapable of understand the scope of the job of President. May the Creator have mercy and send the great asteroid!

Secret Service likely to cut cybercrime investigations to pay for Trump’s weekly Mar-a-Lago trips

President Donald Trump’s weekly Mar-a-Lago trips carry a steep price tag for the Secret Service, and a new report says it’s likely Trump’s travel habits will hurt the Secret Service’s ability to investigate other crimes.

The Washington Post notes that the Secret Service this year requested an additional $60 million in funding to help protect Trump and his family, who have unusually elaborate living and travel arrangements.

Trump’s wife Melania lives in Trump Tower in New York with the couple’s young child Barron. Trump, meanwhile, flies down to his private resort in Palm Beach every weekend, which costs the government an estimated $3 million per visit.

According to the Post’s analysis, the Secret Service wanted an additional $26.8 million to help protect Trump Tower, and an additional $33 million to be spent on the executive branch’s travel expenses.

The Post reports that the Office of Management and Budget rejected the Secret Service’s funding proposal, which means that it will have to take away resources from other areas to pay the additional costs of keeping the First Family safe.

As unpopular as he is getting to be, perhaps he should be restricted to the White House basement for his own protection. A Win-Win.

‘There’s a cover up going on here’: Carl Bernstein

Carl Bernstein, a previous investigative journalist on Watergate, joined CNN’s Anderson Cooper Wednesday night to comment on the ongoing Trump-Russia connection and the leaks coming out of the White House. Most recently, CNN reported possible new evidence suggesting President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russian officials against Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“There’s a cover up going on here among those who work in the Trump campaign and associates of Trump,” said Bernstein. “They’ve been concealing these contacts, which revolve around leaked emails from Podesta’s account.”

Bernstein asked why the president and his associates are “pushing back against these investigations,” when they should instead be suggesting, “we want to get to the bottom of this; we want to open up everything; I, the President of the United States, want to call these people in and ask them what happened, what is this all about?”

He added that the Trump team appears to be attempting to “keep away from what really happened here” raising a whole set of other questions.

Bernstein, pointing to Watergate, said Republicans both in the House and Senate at that time wanted it investigated “to the bottom,” famously quoting Republican Sen. Howard Baker asking, “What did the president know, and when did he know it?

Yeah Donald, what the fuck did you know and who do you owe the most money? The Russians and the Chinese, too?

‘A stooge of the president of the United States’: Nancy Pelosi calls for Devin Nunes to step aside

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) of being a “stooge” for Donald Trump after he released information about foreign intelligence surveillance without first telling his Democratic colleagues.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Nunes revealed that intelligence agencies had incidentally intercepted communications from Trump and his associates while conducting surveillance of foreign targets. Nunes then went to the White House to personally brief the president, who said he felt “somewhat” vindicated by the revelations.

At a briefing with reporters on Thursday, Pelosi said that Nunes appeared to be a “willing stooge” of the president.

“He committed a stunt at the White House yesterday raising questions about Chairman Nunes’ impartiality,” Pelosi explained, noting that Nunes had been a part of the Trump transition team.

There is no question of his partiality!

Lying Liar continues to Lie!

Here’s a fact check of the blizzard of lies Trump told in his off-the-charts Time magazine interview

The Pulitzer Prize-winning nonpartisan fact-checking organization PolitiFact released an exhaustive review of Pres. Donald Trump’s bonkers sit-down with Time magazine’s Michael Scherer on Thursday.

“Trump said his instinct is usually right, and he usually finds evidence supporting his claims that the media and his critics ignore — even as he continued to cite nonexistent evidence,” wrote PolitiFact’s Lauren Carroll and Louis Jacobson. “Here are some of Trump’s most egregious claims from the interview with TIME Washington Bureau Chief Michael Scherer on March 22. Many of the statements are things we’ve debunked again and again.”

FBI’s Russian-influence probe includes a look at Breitbart, InfoWars news sites

WASHINGTON

Federal investigators are examining whether far-right news sites played any role last year in a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories — some fictional — that favored Donald Trump’s presidential bid, two people familiar with the inquiry say.

Operatives for Russia appear to have strategically timed the computer commands, known as “bots,” to blitz social media with links to the pro-Trump stories at times when the billionaire businessman was on the defensive in his race against Democrat Hillary Clinton, these sources said.

The bots’ end products were largely millions of Twitter and Facebook posts carrying links to stories on conservative internet sites such as Breitbart News and InfoWars, as well as on the Kremlin-backed RT News and Sputnik News, the sources said. Some of the stories were false or mixed fact and fiction, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the bot attacks are part of an FBI-led investigation into a multifaceted Russian operation to influence last year’s elections.

Cyber warfare with Bots! Are you scared yet?

“Russian bots and internet trolls sought to propagate stories underground,” said Mike Carpenter, a former senior Pentagon official during the Obama administration whose job focused on Russia. “Those stories got amplified by fringe elements of our media like Breitbart.”

Russia’s offensive might have been anticipated from a speech a top Kremlin official made in February 2016.

In the speech in Moscow, Andrey Krutskikh told a conference of Russian computer security officials that the Putin government would be unleashing a cyber nuclear attack reminiscent of Russia’s 1949 development of the atom bomb. Krutskikh, whose speech was first reported by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius and independently confirmed by McClatchy, also reportedly said the offensive would cause U.S. officials to gain respect for Russia’s cyber capabilities.

“Russia has again figured out from its old Soviet playbook that its greatest weapon in the world is information,” said Lauren Goodrich, senior Eurasia analyst at the Stratfor Corp., a global intelligence firm based in Austin, Texas. “Its information and disinformation campaigns have skyrocketed.”

She said the Kremlin’s budget for “public information” had quadrupled this year as it mounted similar cyber attacks on behalf of right-wing candidates in France, Germany and other European countries.

And you thought we only had to worry about hackers? Now we have to worry about millions of Bots running around disrupting the commerce of the Net?

GOP kills Trump’s infrastructure plans after lobbyists take issue with ‘buy America’ promise

Courting the Midwest voters who proved pivotal in his election win, Donald Trump has consistently reiterated his campaign promise to rebuild America’s infrastructure and protect domestic jobs. " We will have two simple rules when it comes to this massive rebuilding effort,” he told a thank-you rally in December. “Buy American and hire American.”

Within days, though, House Republicans -- under pressure from lobbyists for foreign companies -- had killed legislation that directed government infrastructure contracts to American manufacturing companies. It was a bold act of defiance against the rhetoric of the newly elected president, and now a top Democrat is attempting to force Trump to put his “Buy America” promises into action -- against his own party in Congress.

Wallach has asserted that the way to comprehensively strengthen Buy America laws is for Trump to use his presidential power to renegotiate the basic procurement rules in all U.S. trade agreements so that they universally permit targeting government spending to domestic contractors.

Major trade associations representing multinational corporations have long opposed that idea, arguing that Buy America provisions could provoke a trade war.

And nobody needs weapons for a Trade War!

As the Ninth Weak of Trump comes to a close, the country asks:

‘Anybody tired of all this winning?’: Twitter heaps scorn on Trump and GOP over Trumpcare debacle

On Friday afternoon, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives pulled their healthcare bill from the floor before it could go to a vote — a vote that it was virtually certain to lose.

The bill was Pres. Donald Trump’s first major legislative push and represents a humiliating failure for his administration.

Naturally, Twitter users were there to make the most of the president’s pain and his party’s failure to make good on its years of anti-Obamacare posturing.

Now how about that budget that sucks soooooo bad?

Chaos and defeat: Here’s a recap of President Trump’s worst week in office

Donald Trump and Republicans' stunning inability to bring their healthcare bill to a vote in the GOP-controlled House of Representatives capped the president's worst week yet in office, beset by one controversy and setback after another.

In just five days, the FBI confirmed the existence of an investigation into the Trump team's ties to Russian election meddling; the president's Supreme Court selection earned himself a Democratic filibuster; the administration's honeymoon with Benjamin Netanyahu hit the rocks; and Trump's self-made image as a master dealmaker suffered a humiliating blow. The president is no stranger to self-made controversies overshadowing White House messaging, but at least those wounds are self-inflicted. This week, the president, who skipped his traditional Mar-a-Lago jaunt Saturday, finds himself on the defensive with his agenda derailed by events he can't fully control.

Are you tired of winning yet, Donald?

You guys are funny. Trump did more in the two months before he took the oath (that's something people take when they enter political office that says they will uphold the Constitution. Obama and the Clinton's word didn't mean much when they took the oath) then Obama did in his first four years. And he has done more or tried to without the help of the Democratic Party (not the real party, but the left wing communists) who as usual are the do nothing group.

I guess what you are saying is that when Obama and Clinton were corrupt and incompetent and lied to Congress and the people that the people should have rose up and resisted them and put them in jail for their treason. You know now that I think about it I think you are right. If what you say on here you believe that if someone lies to the people like Obama and Clinton did then they should go to jail. I'm with you.

And what about his tax returns. That fellow on MSNBC made a fool of himself, but that is nothing new. But taxes are important. Trump paid his, but Obama had several dozen on his staff who didn't and of course there is that Uncle Tom "Rev" of MSNBC who owes tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. I'm with you, let's get him thrown in jail for not paying.

If you and I have to obey the laws and we can't pick which laws we want to obey and which we don't. (I don't like paying parking tickets or speeding tickets, or gas taxes that don't go to up keeping the highways) then like the Mayors and crooked police who say they won't up hold laws then we have that right too. Or put them in jail, because that is what they would do to us.

Resist and fight the old establishment. They have done too much harm to our country. Tell the Do Nothing Congress (the Copperheads of both parties) we have had eight years of their failures and to start earning their pay or we will oust them too. Get rid of all the old political appointees especially those like the FBI director who lied before Congress about Clinton and is now lying again. Crooked Cops are rotten cops. Like the former DOJ who took a bribe on the airport runway, break the law, go to jail.

I'm with you. Resist the Establishment. Bring back the power to the people.
