Donny Jr. has a history of incorrectly suggesting Twitter is censoring or blocking tweets

He lies as much as his daddy. Red meat for wingnuts like Whell, who believe every lie.

The Danger of Imitating Trump

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...eryone/560114/

Quote:
Donald Trump’s genius has always been his ability to capitalize, literally, on his fame—to use his celebrity as a vehicle to enrich himself, even when he didn’t have the accomplishments or knowledge or business prowess (or the cash) to back up what he claimed.

Since his entry into politics, plenty of his hangers-on have attempted the same thing, hoping that Trump’s fame could prove their meal ticket, too. And while some of these figures have found success, several of them also find themselves in serious legal jeopardy, demonstrating once again that what works for Trump is often extremely dangerous for other people.

The glaring current example is Michael Cohen, the longtime Trump fixer. In the last few days, there’s been a surfeit of new information about Cohen’s manner of doing business, both before and after the election. Cohen is often said to have been closer to the president than anyone else, and to have the best understanding of how he thought, and he seems to have pursued the purest version of the Trumpian scheme: Make big promises, pull in big money, underdeliver big-league.
Epic fail. Kinda like Whell’s daily efforts here.

Giuliani resigns from his job at the Greenberg Traurig law firm over statements he's made recently. Looks like having Mr. Giuliani's name on the masthead isn't in the best interests of the firm?

In addition to Trump's personal attorney, his Campaign Chairman and assistant, and National Security Advisor are in deep legal shit. There's a good chance that are Junior, Kushner and Ivanka are too, among others. The only person close to Trump that appears safe, though deeply humiliated, is Melania. It's kinda like the Keystone Cops meets the Gambino Crime Family.

Trump unloads on Homeland Security secretary in lengthy immigration tirade
Quote:
President Trump berated Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a dispiriting Cabinet meeting on immigration Wednesday, according to three administration officials, but her colleagues denied reports that she has threatened to quit.

Trump lashed out at his Cabinet, and Nielsen in particular, when told that the number of people arrested for illegally crossing the Mexico border topped 50,000 for the second consecutive month. The blowup lasted more than 30 minutes, according to a person with knowledge of what transpired, as Trump’s face reddened and he raised his voice, saying Nielsen needed to “close down” the border.

“Why don’t you have solutions? How is this still happening?” he said, adding later, “We need to shut it down. We’re closed.”

Administration officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide a candid account of the private meeting.

Trump’s tirade went on so long that many present began fidgeting in their seats and flashing grimaces, White House aides said. Eventually, the topic moved on to health care, bringing relief to many in the room.
Yet this moron claimed in his speech in Indiana that his wall was being built. What wall?
Hope that Ms. Nielsen quits this circus soon especially since Trump thinks that she a Bush ally having worked in his administration as an advisor in Homeland Security. Wonder how Sarah HS is going to spin this today.

The U.S. ambassador to Moscow, pushing to build business ties with Russia, is scheduled to join a panel discussion this month at the Kremlin’s premier economic forum with Viktor Vekselberg, an oligarch slapped with American sanctions and linked to payments to Donald Trump’s lawyer.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-man-in-moscow

WTF??? Trump signs economic sanctions against a bunch of Russian oligarchs, including the guy who funneled $500k to Michael Cohen, for interfering in our election and then our ambassador to Russia sucks up to the same guy trying to help him improve his business ties with the US? Only in Trumpworld.

WTF does he think? 50,000 arrested means the border is wide open?

Trump does not realize that now (spring) is when farming jobs are in abundance and that they are usually filled by immigrant workers from south of the border. Next on Dotard's agenda is a farming crisis?

Kelly Sadler, a dumb blondeaid in the White House had a very unkind thing to say about Senator's McCain's terminal illness. But then I forget, didn't Dotard call McCain a loser for getting captured, he himself a draft dodger?

Now members from both parties are angry at this dumb blonde and nary a word from the Dotard. What gives?

Tweet from Mrs. McCain:

@kellysadler45 May I remind you my husband has a family, 7 children and 5 grandchildren.

Kelly Sadler should've had her job revoked by John Kelley the moment this comment came to light. I'm watchin a senior chief, Malcolm Nance literally losing his shit over this on the tube tonight. This is beyond political bullshit, you don't take a shit on a dying man who served his country like John McCain did, especially coming from some know nothing piece of shit named Kelly Sadler who works for a five deferment draft dodging scumbag like Trump. There is no depth this gang of traitors won't plumb.
