newsflash, politics is the art of lying to the public, same as lawyer do, so you should know

He was inaugurated 1,000 days ago.

So that's more than 13 lies a fucking day on average.

Goes up when you take out the bald cunto's golf trips.

Mind you, we know it lies about that as well.

awesome Trump diplomacy

Turkish president Erdogan 'threw Trump's Syria letter in bin'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50080737

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter "in the bin", the BBC has been told.

In the letter dated 9 October, and sent after US troops were pulled out of Syria, Mr Trump told Mr Erdogan: "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!"

Turkish presidential sources told the BBC that the letter was "thoroughly rejected" by Mr Erdogan.

On the day the letter was received, Turkey launched a cross-border offensive against Kurdish-led forces.

"Let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy - and I will," Mr Trump said in the letter.

"History will look upon you favourably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen."

In response, Turkish presidential sources said: "President Erdogan received the letter, thoroughly rejected it and put it in the bin."

Do you think they used AF1 to send the letter to Turkey? Probably

Lashing out because he's embarrassed at everyone agreeing he's a complete fucking twat.

I doubt he'll have the balls to apologise.

you know his life is television

Baldy has sent Pence to go and try and put the frighteners on Erdogan.

No doubt he'll be sent away with a flea in his ear.

Sorry.

Goes crawling back to his trumpanzees in Texas. They'll massage his hugely fragile ego no matter what a fucking crook he is.

Meanwhile Mulvaney has all but admitted what a corrupt prick the baldy orange cunto is.

Can’t believe Mulvaney! Holy cow! Hours after he ran his mouth, he tried to take it back. Jay Sekulow up there just now saying the White House had nothing to do with Mulvaney’s admission. Whacko stuff.

"I have news for everybody: Get over it. There's going to be political influence in foreign policy," the acting White House chief of staff told reporters.

Knee slapping funny, this fiasco is.

National Doral Miami: Trump Florida golf course to host G7 summit

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50087836


How in the name of all fuckery is that not using the office to enrich himself.

Never mind that Donald Trump has been repeatedly accused of steering government dollars to benefit his business interests. Never mind that the acting White House chief of staff said the president personally suggested Doral as a possible site.

Never mind that the president has accused Democrat Joe Biden's family of personally profiting from US government actions. Never mind that hosting anything in hot, muggy south Florida in June is a questionable idea.

Mr Mulvaney said the summit will be provided "at cost", so Mr Trump will not personally profit from Doral's selection. Even a break-even event on a Trump property is a boon for the business, however, in terms of publicity and the fact that full hotel rooms and resort facilities making break-even revenue is better than empty ones bringing in no money.

Mr Trump will push ahead with this plan, regardless of the howls of outrage from his critics - as he has time and time again during his presidency.

My country never had much of it but what it did have has been completely eroded in the last few years and the GOP and Fox news are squarely to blame. The orange moron is the Frankensteinian byproduct of their creation.

Only Trump would tweet a picture that makes him look like a weak scolded child and those with him embarrassed and try to make it an attack on someone else...



...and only Trumptards could fall for his spineless posturing and empty bluster.

it's worth pointing out that pelosi is the only female at that table....and btw, there are lots and lots of old, white men.


anyway, with regard to mulvaney admitting it was a quid pro quo and that trump's resort would host the G8....it's pretty clear that their strategy is now "it's not corruption if we talk about it on TV"

Last week I attended two memorable events that reminded me why we care so very much about this nation and also why our future may be in peril.

The first was a change of command ceremony for a storied Army unit in which one general officer passed authority to another. The second event was an annual gala for the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) Society that recognizes past and present members of the intelligence and Special Operations community for their heroism and sacrifice to the nation. What struck me was the stark contrast between the words and deeds heralded at those events — and the words and deeds emanating from the White House.

On the parade field at Fort Bragg, N.C., where tens of thousands of soldiers have marched either preparing to go to war or returning from it, the two generals, highly decorated, impeccably dressed, cleareyed and strong of character, were humbled by the moment.

They understood the awesome responsibility that the nation had placed on their shoulders. They understood that they had an obligation to serve their soldiers and their soldiers’ families. They believed in the American values for which they had been fighting for the past three decades. They had faith that these values were worth sacrificing everything for — including, if necessary, their lives.

Having served with both officers for the past 20 years, I know that they personified all that is good and decent and honorable about the American military with genuineness of their humility, their uncompromising integrity, their willingness to sacrifice all for a worthy cause, and the pride they had in their soldiers.

Later that week, at the O.S.S. Society dinner, there were films and testimonials to the valor of the men and women who had fought in Europe and the Pacific during World War II. We also celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day, recognizing those brave Americans and allies who sacrificed so much to fight Nazism and fascism. We were reminded that the Greatest Generation went to war because it believed that we were the good guys — that wherever there was oppression, tyranny or despotism, America would be there. We would be there because freedom mattered. We would be there because the world needed us and if not us, then who?

Also that evening we recognized the incredible sacrifice of a new generation of Americans: an Army Special Forces warrant officer who had been wounded three times, the most recent injury costing him his left leg above the knee. He was still in uniform and still serving. There was an intelligence officer, who embodied the remarkable traits of those men and women who had served in the O.S.S. And a retired Marine general, whose 40 years of service demonstrated all that was honorable about the Corps and public service.

But the most poignant recognition that evening was for a young female sailor who had been killed in Syria serving alongside our allies in the fight against ISIS. Her husband, a former Army Green Beret, accepted the award on her behalf. Like so many that came before her, she had answered the nation’s call and willingly put her life in harm’s way.

For everyone who ever served in uniform, or in the intelligence community, for those diplomats who voice the nation’s principles, for the first responders, for the tellers of truth and the millions of American citizens who were raised believing in American values — you would have seen your reflection in the faces of those we honored last week.


But, beneath the outward sense of hope and duty that I witnessed at these two events, there was an underlying current of frustration, humiliation, anger and fear that echoed across the sidelines. The America that they believed in was under attack, not from without, but from within.

These men and women, of all political persuasions, have seen the assaults on our institutions: on the intelligence and law enforcement community, the State Department and the press. They have seen our leaders stand beside despots and strongmen, preferring their government narrative to our own. They have seen us abandon our allies and have heard the shouts of betrayal from the battlefield. As I stood on the parade field at Fort Bragg, one retired four-star general, grabbed my arm, shook me and shouted, “I don’t like the Democrats, but Trump is destroying the Republic!”

Those words echoed with me throughout the week. It is easy to destroy an organization if you have no appreciation for what makes that organization great. We are not the most powerful nation in the world because of our aircraft carriers, our economy, or our seat at the United Nations Security Council. We are the most powerful nation in the world because we try to be the good guys. We are the most powerful nation in the world because our ideals of universal freedom and equality have been backed up by our belief that we were champions of justice, the protectors of the less fortunate.

But, if we don’t care about our values, if we don’t care about duty and honor, if we don’t help the weak and stand up against oppression and injustice — what will happen to the Kurds, the Iraqis, the Afghans, the Syrians, the Rohingyas, the South Sudanese and the millions of people under the boot of tyranny or left abandoned by their failing states?

If our promises are meaningless, how will our allies ever trust us? If we can’t have faith in our nation’s principles, why would the men and women of this nation join the military? And if they don’t join, who will protect us? If we are not the champions of the good and the right, then who will follow us? And if no one follows us — where will the world end up?

President Trump seems to believe that these qualities are unimportant or show weakness. He is wrong. These are the virtues that have sustained this nation for the past 243 years. If we hope to continue to lead the world and inspire a new generation of young men and women to our cause, then we must embrace these values now more than ever.

And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.
