Trump says he has no plans to fire Rosenstein

Trump says

but only his base, which of course includes the globe's .01% who are getting richer and more powerful during his reign, believe him.

Nothing the most dishonest politician in modern American history says can be trusted.

I'm not the least bit surprised that all of those media reporters, and the multitude of internet rumormongers, were incorrect, or deliberately misleading, when they first declared that Trump was going to fire Rod Rosenstein. I guess they had no reason to let actual facts get in the way of a good story.

Question: Is Trump lying?

Answer: Is the Pope Catholic?

Keep him on board to muddy the waters

You are giving a lot of undue credit (Trump constantarly blindly flailing around because he has no idea what he's doing) to a guy that disparaged Rosenstein before he got to know him.

"I didn't know Rod before, but I've gotten to know him," Trump said at the White House. "I look forward to flying with him. It'll be very nice."

She be fun watching Trump's intellectually dishonest supporters justifying this to themselves. Trump supporters' capacity for self deception is a sight to behold.

but only his base, which of course includes the globe's .01% who are getting richer and more powerful during his reign, believe him.

Yes, curse those Silicone Valley liberals!

*Nothing the most dishonest politician in modern American history says can be trusted.*

That award goes to the entire Democrat party.

Look, Trump is not a fool, he can wait or at the very least try his best to get along with Rosenstein which is a good thing as long as he doesn't go nutty and behind his back, he doesn't need to be fired.

Who was it who first broke the story that Rod Rosenstein was going to be fired?

It should be obvious by now that whoever that person was, they obviously didn't know what they were talking about. Or had simply made up the story. The other media outlets chose to parrot an unverified story, because they are either too lazy, or too politically motivated, to verify the story themselves. Was cheaper not to? Wasn't there enough man-power to do an proper, olde-fashion, job of accurately reporting a story? Whatever happened to supplying the who, what, why, when, and how of a news story B4 you publish?

So Rosenstein is overseeing the biggest political witch hunt in US history, yet Trump doesn't fire him?

Sure, that adds up.

Whatever happened to supplying the who, what, why, when, and how of a news story B4 you publish?

Who: Rosenstein

What: getting fired

Why: it suits Trump

When: probably one day soon at about 3am

How: Twitter

At the moment, Dump believes that he is safe with Kavanaugh on board. He thinks that he can't be touched legally. Simply, Mueller's investigation hasn't made any announcements recently.

If Dump loses politically or legally, he will blame Democrats or China!

That award goes to the entire Democrat party.

The Democratic Party is not a politician. Why even post that? It adds zero to the conversation.

Look, Trump is not a fool,

This is demonstrably false.

he can wait or at the very least try his best to get along with Rosenstein which is a good thing as long as he doesn't go nutty and behind his back, he doesn't need to be fired.

Trump's fan club's ability to change its tune at the snap of Trump's fingers is an impreasibe diaplay of intellectial dishonesty.

@arrestpal 'm not the least bit surprised that all of those media reporters, and the multitude of internet rumormongers, were incorrect, or deliberately misleading,

I don't know which country you're from, but if you're from the US you should be familiar with The National Enquirer, a tabloid known for reporting things like alien abductions and also one that supports Trump. My point that 'misleading' and even fictional reporting, assuming it's not slanderous or libelous, is just an unfortunate reality of a for-profit, free press.

I don't worry about what's reported in the press. Instead I worry more about Trump supporters who attack a free, for-profit press whenever Trump and his GOP are challenged. Trump supporters seem to prefer a state controlled press like China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and other totalitarian states have where the leader can never be challenged.

And it's interesting that so many Trump supporters repeat stories started by one of Putin's global outlets like RT or Sputnik.

Who was it who first broke the story that Rod Rosenstein was going to be fired?

Nobody. Cursory research goes a long way in being accurate.

As Trump said, his job is safe....for now.

He just needs to watch his step with the whole Mueller witch hunt thing.

He can't be fired. Senator Collins received a non-verbal indication from a West Wing staffer she'd just met that morning assuring her the President would never do such a cynical, self-interested thing, and as we all know, that's as ironclad as guarantees come.

He can't be fired. 

Oh, yes, he most definitely can.

Senator Collins received a non-verbal indication from a West Wing staffer she'd just met that morning assuring her the President would never do such a cynical, self-interested thing, and as we all know, that's as ironclad as guarantees come.

But the President doesn't have to abide by anything, No president has to, but as long as Rosenstein is careful his job is safe.....at least for now.

Here's bass4funk on September 22:

Rosenstein should be fired.

Rosenstein is a bug eyed idiot.

Here's bass4funk today:

he doesn't need to be fired.

Trump supporters are as consistent as their cult leader.

Sorry, let me be clear on this, as much as I don't trust Rosenstein, I have no idea what the two men talked about, so I can't have an opinion on what the conversation was about, but if Trump and Rosenstein come to a middle ground and can laugh, something happened, none of us don't know and will never know, I just know what I would do were it me, but I'm not Trump and I don't know what he knows that he feels the need to give Rosenstein another chance.

This doesn't explain the about-face you did once Trump told you to.

I never did and never would, I was quite clear.

Two in one sentence. Let's try for three!!

"I just know what I would do were it me"

I never did and never would, I was quite clear.

We have two completely opposite choices of what you would do:

Here's bass4funk on September 22:

Rosenstein should be fired.

Rosenstein is a bug eyed idiot.

Here's bass4funk today:

he doesn't need to be fired.

This means it's not clear and you did an about-face when Trump snapped his fingers.

Not at all, sorry, good try, but as I have stated, if it were me personally he’d be gone, but that’s me, if Trump wants to keep him and is content for the time being, so be it. His choice. As he said, he’s safe for now.

So now you're doing another about-face because your precious about-face was called out. Got it.

If he changes his eye wear to appear less bug eyed, and Jared starts wearing Rosenstein's glasses, I think Ivanka is also going to need some new glasses to tell them apart. "Oh Rod darling! Whoops, I meant Ja-rod!"

Funny what ghoulishness comes to mind the closer we get to Halloween.

sorry, good try, but as I have stated, if it were me personally he’d be gone, but that’s me,

So when you originally stated that Rosenstein "should be fired" you were speaking as bass4funk. And today when you stated that Rosenstein "doesn't need to be fired" you were speaking as Trump.

In short, you disagree with Trump and think Rosenstein should be fired.

You know that Trump doesn't take kindly to disloyalty, don't you?

I mean, why would Trump fire Rosenstien?

He ordered the Special Council to begin with and personally chose Mueller, someone who Trump fans think is corrupt and out to get Trump. Rosenstien has signed off on Mueller's actions, his scope, he approved of the angry Democratic investigators, signed off on the FISA warrant, slow-walked documents to obstruct Senate oversight, and suggested that Trump should be secretly recorded.

Maybe Trump isn't the kind of guy who likes to fire people.

So now you're doing another about-face because your precious about-face was called out. Got it.

Not at all, just repeating what I already previously stated.

So when you originally stated that Rosenstein "should be fired" you were speaking as bass4funk. And today when you stated that Rosenstein "doesn't need to be fired" you were speaking as Trump.

As with most typical liberals they believe what they want to believe and that’s only thing that matters irregardless of what other people say or state, this is why they always fall into that quagmire of losing.

In short, you disagree with Trump and think Rosenstein should be fired.

Yup

You know that Trump doesn't take kindly to disloyalty, don't you

For liberals that is a big thing of concern, I know. They worry about that all the time, conservatives really could care less what the party thinks take a look at Susan Collins.

"Nothing the most dishonest politician in modern American history says can be trusted."

See, that's the whole thing, Pete, Trump's not a politician. Never will be.

"So Rosenstein is overseeing the biggest political witch hunt in US history, yet Trump doesn't fire him?

Sure, that adds up."

Super... 4D chess. Trump wants this witch hunt, which will hurt the Democrats, to continue until after the midterms. Same reason why he's going to wait until after the midterms to fire that do-nothing AG of his.

@PT"Nothing the most dishonest politician in modern American history says can be trusted."

@Serrano See, that's the whole thing, Pete, Trump's not a politician. Never will be.

Are you accusing Trump of lying when he calls himself a 'politician'?

Start about 0.36

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U6UdHRUzPI

@Serrano, "not a politician" really? Then how do you explain Trump running for president on numerous past election cycles? Seems pretty ding dong dang politician-y of him. Do you think he is still first and foremost running his golfing/resort/misc. business rather than the nation's? That alone would make him a terrible president.

Tora... What are you talking about? Trump won the presidency on his first try, he'd never run for public office before 2016. Although he did mention the possibility on Oprah in 1988.

"Are you accusing Trump of lying when he calls himself a 'politician'?

Start about 0.36"

Pete, Pete... Trump said "No politician has been treated worse or more unfairly." He didn't say he himself was a politician! Hee hee!

@Sera, one example was the five months he was running for the nomination on the Reform Party ticket, from October 1999 to February 2000. Roger Stone (where have I heard of him) was his campaign director. But you believe that in spite of decades of talking himself up as a possible candidate on every TV show that he could, he wasn't a long time political aspirant?

Since you only see Trump as a great businessperson, why have his UK golf properties lost millions every year since they reopened years before he morphed into a politician? Wouldn't you expect them to turn a profit now that the Trump brand has reached peak popularity? Is Mar-a-lago a profitable golf enterprise if you strip away all the free government security?

And it is funny when Trump dumps on seasoned politicians like Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. She wasn't even listed on the last ballot because the GOP had decided to run some Joe Blow to appeal to the Tea Party, who she crushed in the election by gaining support across the whole spectrum (minus Tea Party). Imagine the rarity of someone reelected U.S. senator as a write-in candidate. Some people can recognize real political astuteness displayed by Lisa Murkowski in winning her third term. I'm guessing that when all is said and done, Trump will have been more of a Sarah Palin flash in the pan lightweight playacting as politician.

Que sera Serrano? Youtube must be shortchanging your search for the difference between "politician" and "non-politician" (hint: a record of success in elections and a resume running the family business is not germane). So how do you define other business mogul-politician hybrids like Italy's Berlusconi? And are there any lessons from Berlusconi's tenure that might be useful for Trump, besides the obvious ones about avoiding prostitutes and other corrupting characters?

As with most typical liberals they believe what they want to believe and that’s only thing that matters irregardless of what other people say or state, this is why they always fall into that quagmire of losing.

Thank you for that thoughtful response. I learned a lot from reading it. From now on I will try harder to see the moral clarity and logical incisiveness of your posts.

Hmmm. How does that tally with you believing Rosenstein should be fired and also, not fired?

Please scroll up, I already clarified my position. thanks

Your position being you have two positions.

Is it

he doesn't need to be fired.

Or is it

Rosenstein should be fired.

So why doesn't Trump fire the leader of the greatest political witch hunt in US history?

Your position being you have two positions.

Again, Please scroll up, I already clarified my position. thanks

It's unbelievable that Trump hasn't fired Rosenstein. A person in the upper reaches of the FBI talks about toppling the American president and he gets to keep his job! Unreal.

Trump seems awfully at ease with what is going on at the FBI these days. Maybe he knows that all the media hype over Russia is going no where.

You make it sound as if it were a serious remark made to co-conspirators in the dark of night. It wasn't.

> Trump seems awfully at ease with what is going on at the FBI these days. Maybe he knows that all the media hype over Russia is going no where.

Trump should fire Rosenstein but it's all good cause Trump knows something. Nice arguing in the alternative.

Again, Please scroll up, I already clarified my position. thanks

If we scroll up far enough, we can see that you said Rosenstein doesn't need to go. If we scroll down from there, we can see your own words from less than a month ago declaring Rosenstein must go. Keep scrolling down and we can read you denying you did an about-face after Trump did one, and you were back to saying Rosenstein needs to go.

That's an amazing turn-around in the span of one thread.

It's unbelievable that Trump hasn't fired Rosenstein. A person in the upper reaches of the FBI talks about toppling the American president and he gets to keep his job! Unreal.

You know, I'm starting to wonder whether Brett Kavanaugh is in on this conspiracy, too. He's friends with Rosenstein, and they spent years together working toward advancing conservative principles in the judiciary. And a member of the Federalist Society. I smell a deep state conspiracy. There's a mole in the SC!

It's unbelievable that Trump hasn't fired Rosenstein. 

Trump is weak. Just like he won't have Hillary arrested and locked up.

Trump should fire Rosenstein but it's all good cause Trump knows something. Nice arguing in the alternative.

No, it's not all good. But Trump has a tendency to do things I wouldn't do.

There's a mole in the SC!

God I hope so! Roe vs. Wade and racist affirmative action policies cannot be overturned soon enough.

He hasn't reunited those kidnapped children with their families, the deadline(s) have passed and now he says he'll detain them in the concentration camps indefinitely. Until they just 'disappear'.

He lies about everything!

Why trust this lying s.o.b. now?

problems are galore for Mr Trump. How would he go against the advice of Kelly?

Who was it who first broke the story that Rod Rosenstein was going to be fired?

Where did this late breaking "news story" come from?

Did someone simply make up another breaking news story that had no basis in fact?

Roe vs. Wade

Better stay out of Japan. Abortion is legal there and sometimes even paid for with donations and public funds in some cases. Why would a Trump person even consider living in Japan? I just heard Trump is blaming Hillary and Taylor Swift for the stock market crash. It's never his fault for his failings like no wall or Muslim ban.
