President Trump and his team have shifted their tone toward China since the inauguration. nyti.ms/2k7VdzB

3 (f) is interesting - although I'll have to read the thing properly.

Where is the funding coming from for this by the way?

This is what concerns me the most...

Why do you think Trump feels free to insult McCain and the media? Because with all their talk, he still faces no meaningful consequences.

I feel like a broken record, but I have missed the last two threads, and come to this one and it is almost full up.

Can anyone summarise the last 3000 posts?

Should I change my name to CanAnyoneSummariseTheLast3000Posts?

New: @RepJerryNadler files privileged resolution demanding DOJ docs on alleged Trump biz conflicts & Russia ties

Other than impeachment, Presidents have always had public embarrassment and lack of support as their most meaningful consequences.

The man seems to be almost unembarrassable.

No embarrassment. No shame. No conscience.

A rundown of today's White House briefing, including how there was no comment given on deported Arizona resident

europe.newsweek.com/white-house-press-briefing-february-9-2017-554751?rm=eu

Presidents are supposed to propose legislation.

Like, to impose tariffs on imported goods, cut taxes, spend on infrastructure, spend on a stupid wall that the Mexicans will all tunnel under.

When will we see some legislation??

The woman deported? The criminal act she did was years ago - she used a fake social security number so she could work. That's it. She didn't rip anyone off, she wasn't claiming benefits. She just wanted to work to support her family. She would have been making minimum wage at Sunsplash - it's just a local waterpark (been there numerous times) and likely working any and all hours in the hot sun all day.

Presidents are supposed to propose legislation.

Legislation is sooo boring when you can just sign stuff and everyone claps.

Govt. ethics office says it's being swamped by citizen phone calls and emails after Conway plugged Ivanka Trump line cnnmon.ie/2krJpnG

Interesting take on what will happen going forwards with the immigration ban

There was a great Q in that briefing:

Is the President going to use Congress for anything?

(Or along those lines)

In other words, is he going to use discussion and debate with elected representatives?

Also this is a take on the legality of the immigration ban:

Pence and Palin will take that line. You have to remember, though, that at the moment people are dealing with EP.

There seems to be so many things he could ( should) be impeached for, WHY ISNT IT HAPPENING?? Who has the power to do it ? His lies, business dealings, incompetence, insulting the judiciary, dangerous and deadly tweets, lack of knowledge,stupid hair etc etc, WHY ISNT IT HAPPENING?????

Why......?

20+ GOP states pushing new laws to make it harder to vote. Voter suppression will get much worse with Sessions as AG bigstory.ap.org/article/20e9ce4362b947e1a30eb3eeab0d3aee …

Spicer got very angry when challenged over tweeting.

If the President can tweet about the Louvre and Nordestrom, he can use his massive platform to condemn the shootings in Canada.

Silence speaks volumes. He failed.

The GOP won't allow it to happen (impeachment). They've been sticking together as a party because he's allowing them to gut things they've been wanting to gut for years. I imagine they are watching him closely though, as if he really starts showing signs of deteriorating mental health publicly, things could get sticky.

Watching those two videos I just linked, I think there is fuckloads of legislation protecting him. I don't understand all the legalities, but I think he is protected by layers and layers of it. :( I really hope I'm wrong.

Many top Trump officials share Steve Bannon's controversial views on Islam. usat.ly/2kYhhvK #TheShortList

Does anyone else feel that something is going to happen?
Twitter, FB, social media have opened up conversations - and exposed division. Communication between groups isn't happening - all that seems to be happening is people are getting more and more polarised.
