The US guys at the office say that now the US is in "alt-reality". This allows Trump to say something one week and the opposite the next week, and when videos are played showing this, he can say that they are taken out of context.

As one can see in this forum, non-Americans are trying to influence American voters in American elections.

As for the Lefts charge of racism, the fact is all Democrats are openly racist in their public policy. Like all good racists they always have an excuse for discriminating by race. Obama’s attacks on white police, Dems support for affirmative action, discriminate impact legal theory, and anti-Asian education barriers are all examples of actual racism supported by the Left. Trump is politically incorrect but has not endorsed any policies that I am aware of that discrimate against Americans based on skin color.

As I said on another thread: interesting...

This seems to be the new tactic of the Alt-right movement : accusing the Democrats or the 'left' of racism, affirmative action is of course reversed racism, act if like they were advocates for the black case but in the meantime hoping for those boats... :)

@smith: how about Trump’s inifidelity? His divorce? His abuse of women? His paying off women he cheated on his wife with? His racism?

Trump has never claimed to be a born again Christian. He made a faustian bargain with conservative Christians that has paid off in spades for both sides. Two conservative Supreme Court justices and potentially more in the future among other things.

Bass4funk: “May not be a bad thing, strong Christian, can impose more religious values into our society bring about more religious values, something we are lacking as well as religious unity and harmony.”

believers of sharia law say exactly the same thing and you call them terrorists and want them banned from the US. Just goes to show how hypocritical Christians are. What’s more, I love how you claim Christianity can bring about strong values... how about Trump’s inifidelity? His divorce? His abuse of women? His paying off women he cheated on his wife with? His racism?

According to you, morals don’t apply then. They never do when you don’t want them to, the darn things. That’s why evangelicals are going to pay for their flip-flopping.

Yes, this exactly. Just when you thought the bar couldn't get any lower. The Trump party is showing--by example from Trump, and echoed in the comments here--just how low one is willing to stoop.

Who cares if it's legal; who cares if it's wrong; as long as you can get away with it.

But, don't take my word for it...

Do you have any sense of justice other than what people on your side can get away with?

Not these petty blips.

I wasn't happy with Bill Clinton getting away with what he did regardless of who was conducting the investigation. I also, as a liberal and Democrat, despise the DNC's cronyism and corruption. I voted for Hillary in 2016, holding my nose as I did it. Had she won, I would be calling her to account, especially on foreign policy, as I did for Obama. Everybody can have an independent voice. It's not Team A versus Team B, you know. No need to get tribal, old chap.

I agree and that’s why I support Trump, got tired of the GOP and especially despise the MSM and how much lying is for them the same as drinking a cold glass of kohl aid.

So, would you happy with Trump getting away with something wrong, simply because he's your man?

No, but as of now, Mueller and the left have crumbs and nothing more, but this guy is scrapping at the bottom that he has to try and give Manafort a life sentence for something that should be about a year in prison and a fine. Desperate to the max.

Again, if Manafort walks, Mueller is done.

Ok, let’s say he gets impeached, then what? The Senate won’t convict him. All that work for nothing. and why wouldn't they,

Because they wouldn’t slit their own throats especially more and more Republicans agree that Mueller is on a witch hunt. And Nancy as bad as she is doesn’t want Pence, a hardcore professional politician and deeply religious Christian to be President that would make her rather accept and deal with Trump over Pence.

Republicans would still control the Presidency as Pence would be next in line, and as difficult it is to say Pence would be an improvement over Trump

Plasticmonkey, David Frum wrote about this recently, saying that, while parsing vocabulary and being specific about precise terms in relation to actions is important, there is no getting away from the growing stench. "Collusion" may not be a crime but it is still selling out the US for personal gain; conviction in the Senate may not happen but this still does not remove the indelible taint from Trump's presidency.

It is obvious now, even before Mueller's report has been released. How worse could it get for Trump? - imagine being a lame duck in your third year.

Super, we'll see if he survives. His life support now consists on his innumerable rallies leading up to the midterms (and even those are turning from ideological protests to simple freak shows), but interest in those will drop off precipitously, and I don't see anything else he has to distract with (aside from war).

However it goes, 2019 looks pivotal, with a Dem House and a besieged president (increasingly even from members of his own party). He seems to be pinning his hopes NK, Iran, or China capitulating (particularly the latter), but they can smell weakness like a shark does blood and they will not. Trump is an increasingly desperate man, conviction or not.

Disney was a kid at heart, he got it right.

Maybe its just a Freudian slip? Explains the long-winded rants

Nope.

That isn't true because

The left has said that so many times and so far, they were almost proven wrong every single time.

Which means if found guilty of any of them then it would be an impeachable offense like Clinton for lying to certain people and Nixon for everything

@bass4funk

I get it, but to make a long story short it doesn’t mean even with the collection of supposed alleged crimes that the President committed an impeachable act. No one on JT can definitively make the claim or prove either way otherwise we all would be on the legal teams. One thing is for sure if there was a real red flag that would stick to the President Adam Spliff would be the first to scream it from the mountain top!

That isn't true because

Many fall under the rubric of conspiracy: an agreement to further illegal action. The core federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 371, would be triggered here if there were any agreement by Trump or those around him with Russian agents to do something that the law forbids.

Which means if found guilty of any of them then it would be an impeachable offense like Clinton for lying to certain people and Nixon for everything.

@bass4funk

But collusion doesn’t amount to crime has been committed or even an impeachable one.

Collusion isn't a crime, but a collection of crimes!

An example of a “collusion” crime, the special counsel’s February and July 2018 indictments against alleged Russian hackers charged them with conspiracy to defraud the United States. Their cyber-misconduct defrauded the government by interfering with federal elections. If Trump campaign operatives were a part of that — say, by coordinating the release of hacked DNC emails with Russian operatives or planning speeches or other campaign events around those releases — then the campaign, too, could plausibly be a part of the conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Again, there is already enough evidence to warrant searching review, such as the fact that within hours of the Russian offer of dirt, Trump announced a major speech promising revelations about his opponent (a speech that he would promise again the following week but never actually deliver). Such campaign encouragement of, or involvement in, illegal Russian activity would not just implicate conspiracy law. The Russian conduct appears to have violated federal anti-hacking statutes, such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Wiretap Act. The Wiretap Act is especially relevant because we know that the Russians infected the DNC servers with malware that transmitted emails to the Russians’ main server in real time. They were literally intercepting communications, one of the precise activities the act criminalizes.

Even if members of the campaign didn’t encourage or direct that hack, they could still be subject to prosecution for aiding and abetting — in lay terms, helping — a violation of those statutes. Aiding and abetting liability could become a factor if, for example, campaign operatives took a step to make sure the Russians used the hacked materials in the best possible way. (Indeed, campaign aides could even have directly violated the Wiretap Act if they themselves used the contents of any illegally intercepted communication, if they knew or had reason to know the communication was intercepted illegally.)

Nor do the varieties of possible criminal “collusion” with Russia end there. If the president knowingly accepted something of value from the Russians, such as harmful information about his opponent, that could be an illegal contribution by foreign nationals. That is an election law crime. If he accepted that information in exchange for the promise of some action (like taking a more accommodating posture toward the Russian invasion of Ukraine) that he or his administration would take if his campaign proved successful, that could constitute an illegal quid pro quo — that is, bribery.

What if the Russians only informed the campaign about their plans to disseminate stolen emails and the campaign did something that interfered with the crime being uncovered? That could constitute the crime of misprision of a felony — essentially of hiding crimes. And if any money transfers were involved to further the collusion — like if the Russians wired money to the National Rifle Association to avoid FEC scrutiny — that could violate the money laundering statute. Both would be forms of illegally working with the Russians. In a word: “collusion.”

Trump is a treasonous coward, and what he has been saying EVERY time he has been on the air ("NO COLLUSION!") is about to be proven wrong, so he is ramping up his attacks on the media so later he can claim they are false and keep his brainwashed supporters with him and say, "See? Look at what they are saying now?"

But collusion doesn’t amount to crime has been committed or even an impeachable one.

The facts seem to indicate he has colluded with an enemy government to win the election,

Over two years an not a shred of evidence that it either swayed the election or that Trump was involved in anything remotely that would be considered a criminal act.

and I Believe there are illegalities in that. And yet, ALREADY people like bass, who have said there is no collusion, that the love affairs were lies, etc., starting to say, "Well, so what if he colluded? He wasn't lying... he was just speaking like Americans and pointing out.... well... what about hillary?"

And yet, the public says otherwise, his number are climbing, the left is in total disarray and still the begs to ask the question, what crime was committed and let’s say for arguments sake Trump was charged with some bogus obstruction charge, then what?

"One of the things that one would hope that we would see in the reporting from the newspapers, from the networks, from Bob's (Woodward) book, is the question of whether or not this president is acting in a competent and coherent manner because every evidence that we see so far is that he is incoherent and not competent in terms of how he is conducting the presidency and the policies of the United States. . . . All of these questions are related to the Russia investigation, to what we saw in Helsinki. What the hell happened in Helsinki?! We don't know. Did what we see occur on the stage happen because of incompetence or because of nefariousness on the part of the president of the United States? This is unprecedented! We have never had a president of the United States whose loyalty has been called into question by responsible members of both parties in the Congress of the United States. It's never happened!"

End the Mueller investigation now!

That's a possibility but an unlikely one. Trump knows Mueller's report will make him look very bad - perhaps impeachably bad - but because impeachment is a political process, which in turn reflects (somewhat) public sentiment, Trump is salting the soil now with negative sentiment about Mueller, the media, and those who have turned against him.

He's clearly panicked, but he has little other choice but to take the confidence Americans have in their institutions down with him. And as Silvafan said, some are buying it, Pied Piper-style.

To be honest, just how many of these Trump "supporting" posters are actually agents of hostile nations against the US?  Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites had to delete a ton of accounts with ties to hostile activities against the US that specifically target our society's political views and social perspectives.  

They know that "United we stand, divided we fall" is what is spurring them to try and divide our society from the seams.   Why would Russians want to support the NRA?  Simple.   Create an division in US society and hopefully encourage more Americans to believe that owning a gun and making it easier for more Americans to own guns will cause us to murder each other more often.... which we're already doing, and they're happy to help cause more of this.   Why lift a finger with war, when you can make your enemy destroy itself for you? 

And people like Bass, Black, etc. play the fiddler's tune because the fiddler knows what will make them follow their lead.   They tell them what they want to hear, and they'll bend down prostrate to lick their boots. As I said before, these hostile agents know how to play you, and you're stupidly following them without so much as a question about it.  Instead focusing on denial, misdirection,  and conspiracy rather than face the truth which is staring our society straight in the face.  Such blind ignorant, "patriotism" is what people that lack the intellect to truly comprehend what the US and it's constitution truly stands for.   The leaders and governments of China, Russia, Iran, and other authoritarian corrupt regimes/oligarchies would like to thank you whole-heartedly for your foolishness and assistance in destroying the US.   You're making their jobs so much easier.   I'm sure if they could, they'd hold ceremonies in their countries for you to give you medals. 

A country is only as important as it's people, not it's government, nor it's leaders.   A DEMOCRATIC government is only as stable as the wisdom of the choices that the majority of the PEOPLE of that country. 

A healthy society is only as competent as the people who present it.... Right now the US is filled with incompetence representing the "majority" of our society.  Or, they may just be foreign hostiles engaging in social commentary warfare in attempts to disrupt social unity and stability in US and Western society.  

I still find it funny that instead of putting those resources towards improving social stability and equality in their own countries, they'd prefer to use them to attempt to destroy others in the misguided perception that it will make themselves more "powerful".

Happy, comfortable, and stable citizens/societies = strong, supportive, productive and peaceful countries.

Those who have been maligned by a sex pest, a bigot and man trying to turn back equalities.

I never get into specifics about my own personal details as I find some individuals tend to use it as ammunition against the poster.

In relation to the topic, obfuscation and deflection, misdirection and falsehoods are the shiny currency for Trump supporters. They are not actually interested in the truth. As I said earlier, it's like a pro-wrestling bout. A game.

And it feeds the monstrous ego of the man. A symbiotic relationship, of sorts.

Unfortunately, about 95% of the articles about the current POTUS published by the MSM--including Japan Today---are anti-Trump. I urge you to broaden your perspective by adding a balanced publication to your daily reading, such as The Drudge Report, that includes many sources from alternative news sites.

Not just an enemy of the American people, but an enemy of world peace and stability.

Absolutely! I wish this mad man would stop punishing Americans with record low unemployment and a booming economy.

And stop already with destabilizing the Korean Peninsula with peace and friendship! He even had the gall to ask for the remains of dead American soldiers.

Say what you will but since he became president, the US economy has grown better than it was forecast. It has exceeded expectations. so a good economy isnt a "get out of jail free" card for collusion, corruption, lies & deceit. When the economy downturns and it will eventually will it be fine to prosecute Trump then!?

Whataboism maybe a thing in Trumps fantasy land but it doesn't hold up in a court of law.

legitimately registered back voters de facto have ID. You are perpetuating the obnoxious myth that blacks are too stupid to even obtain a drivers license ID.

Statistically, blacks are less likely than average to have access to drivers' licenses or other forms of ID, due to various economic and social factors. To suggest that this has anything at all to do with being stupid is, well, stupid. The lack of acceptable ID in some cases prevents legitimate registration for voting. Anybody not aware of this problem has no business referring to it on here.

Trump is a treasonous coward, and what he has been saying EVERY time he has been on the air ("NO COLLUSION!") is about to be proven wrong, so he is ramping up his attacks on the media so later he can claim they are false and keep his brainwashed supporters with him and say, "See? Look at what they are saying now?"

The constant mention of no collusion and calling for the investigations to be shut down, then the changing narrative of collusion not being a crime... this is an administration desperately flailing around.

Make no mistake - the enemy of the people is not the press who report the truth about the PotUS and his minions. The enemy is standing there, inciting hatred and trying to obstruct justice.

Not just an enemy of the American people, but an enemy of world peace and stability.

The facts seem to indicate he has colluded with an enemy government to win the election, and I Believe there are illegalities in that. And yet, ALREADY people like bass, who have said there is no collusion, that the love affairs were lies, etc., starting to say, "Well, so what if he colluded? He wasn't lying... he was just speaking like Americans and pointing out.... well... what about hillary?"

Another one! Is there a code of practice among Trump supporters to find the poll with the numbers you like and run with it? This is unbelievably common. The other rule in this book seems to be to mix and match numbers from polls to show his rising popularity.

Can we stick with the average of polls? It’s not perfect but this cherry-picking nonsense is ridiculous.

It’s almost as bad as reading a bonehead conspiracy theory in one source, say the National Enquirer, and running with that.

Interesting fact of the day;

President Trump is looking into new and tough voter ID laws.

Another interesting fact, Trump thinks you need an ID to buy groceries. A true man of the people...

And whatever happened to the evidence that Trump promised would be coming regarding the millions of illegal voters?

Take away the illegal vote, and the Democrats are finished. Its all they have.

If the illegal vote was significant at all, Trump would have revealed proof like he promised. The fact is, when everyone votes, Democrats win. Most of the population actually likes the idea of things like medicare for all and social programs, that's just common sense. There's a reason why it's the GOP that pushes to suppress votes.

14 ( +14 / -0 )

Tough voter ID laws are not aimed at eliminating the non-problem of in-person voter fraud which has taken place in seven cases out of the last billion votes cast, but rather is aimed squarely at disenfranchising legitimately registered blacks who would reliably vote Democrat if their legal right to vote was not falsely stolen away from them.

legitimately registered back voters de facto have ID. You are perpetuating the obnoxious myth that blacks are too stupid to even obtain a drivers license ID.

Kaishu - Obamas inflated numbers mere days after taking office is beyond a joke. Why did you avoid showing what it was in his last year in office? It was constantly 48% or lower.

President Trump, is currently at 50% despite an unprecedented campaign of hatred against him by the MSM.

Was Nixon as anxious as Trump is now about the Mueller probe?

"First, I think what we are seeing is more than anxiety on the part of Donald Trump, we are seeing seeing a president who is behaving and acting unhinged. Nixon did not really publicly act unhinged, but I think we need to look at something larger and that is in Watergate the system worked. The president of the United States did not publicly declare the press an enemy of the people and seek to undermine the First Amendment and the very legitimacy of what the press did although he did try to make our conduct the issue or an issue rather than his own conduct. But really, President Trump has taken the question of the free exercise of the First Amendment and whipped up a kind of hysteria unlike any other president in our history, but more than that I think it's time to recognize that what we are watching in the Trump presidency is worse than Watergate. It's worse than Watergate as I say because the system worked in Watergate. The heroes of Watergate were Republicans who demanded that the president be held accountable, who demanded that he be transparent, who demanded to know what did the president know and when did he know it . . . whereas the Republicans on Capital Hill have done everything to impede the investigation."

A free and independent press is the bedrock of a democratic society. For Trump to attack it shows his desire to undermine democracy and emulate the authoritarian dictators he so loves.

The one glimmer of hope in all this is that there are signs the participants at his rallies may not be entirely sincere in their complicity in his attacks. Some have reported that for example, at the rally where Jim Acosta was so vehemently attacked by the crowd, as soon as the rally was over they started treating him like awestruck fans. In effect, the people at his rallies may be treating the media more like a wrestling heel than with sincere hatred.

It'll be small comfort to all those politico-wrestling fans, of course, if even one person in the crowd is stirred up into enough sincere hatred to follow up with violence.

Every time we hear President Swamp say the words 'fake news', all we need to do is to mentally delete the 'fake' part.

Which ‘we’ are you referring to? A free press means different things to different people. Most media outlets are for profit and appeal to certain markets.

I (speaking for myself) like the reality that I can choose from an array of online sites to find news and opinions. That a limited number of companies have largest market share is a concern, but as long as individuals have options that are FREE from government control, I (speaking for myself) won’t worry.

I do find it extremely worrying, however, that Trump and his bund in the US and ‘abroad’ continue to undermine what the media do.

I do find it worrying that Trump and his bund shout ‘fake news’ whenever outlets print news from perspectives different from theirs.
