Manafort Destiny? Trump continued

Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

And yet there he is, sitting at the same table.

Lweji · 31/10/2017 12:05

It was just board room talk. Nothing much.

RedToothBrush · 31/10/2017 12:08

Trump has to be impeached. That means he's protected by the GOP for the foreseeable. That still has to change. We still could get unexplained deaths yet, to intimidate I fear.

Latest Trump tweet:

The Fake News is working overtime. As Paul Manaforts lawyer said, there was "no collusion" and events mentioned took place long before he...

Saved tweets are a bitch.

Part 2 (!!)

....came to the campaign. Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar. Check the DEMS!

PainInTheEerie · 31/10/2017 12:22

Why does he have to be impeached red? As someone upthread said, he does leave businesses etc when they start to fail and then there’s this too (again posted by someone upthread)

I’m not sure how likely it is that it will actually happen but it is a viable possibility no?

He managed to keep it in for 21 hours.

Fox News Has Spent All Day Begging Donald Trump Not to Tweet About the Mueller Indictments

www.slate.com/blogs/watching_fox/2017/10/30/fox_news_is_begging_donald_trump_not_to_tweet_about_the_mueller_indictments.html

He just can't help it. It's like an opioid. Just say NO, Don.

PainInTheEerie · 31/10/2017 12:24

It’s not even worth fact checking his tweets any more. It’d be less time consuming to highlight if he ever said something true!

RYAN: Thank you… We've heard you're going to be announcing your foreign policy team shortly… Any you can share with us?

TRUMP: Well, I hadn't thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names… Walid Phares, who you probably know, PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives caucus, and counter-terrorism expert; Carter Page, PhD; George Papadopoulos, he's an energy and oil consultant, excellent guy; the Honorable Joe Schmitz, [former] inspector general at the Department of Defense; [retired] Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; and I have quite a few more. But that's a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do, but that's a representative group.

Second mention. Excellent guy.

Minor low level volunteer.

It was fun. Wink

Ha! Am also loving the cakes, though they're making me extremely hungry.

#Russia's state TV: "Papadopoulos ran all over the White House, wearing all sorts of wires. But were those our, Russian wires—or the FBI's?"

It's russian state TV so is said for effect than reporting the truth etc but is still interesting to see what message they're putting out there.

Robert Mueller Wikipedia article edited anonymously from US House of Representatives

Christina Wilkie @christinawilkie

Someone in a House office building just altered Robert Mueller’s Wikipedia bio to include that he’s “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare."

The biggest story yesterday, the one that has the Dems in a dither, is Podesta running from his firm. What he know about Crooked Dems is...
....earth shattering. He and his brother could Drain The Swamp, which would be yet another campaign promise fulfilled. Fake News weak!.

PainInTheEerie · 31/10/2017 14:19

I overused the ellipses. It's clearly catching Blush

cozietoesie · 31/10/2017 14:20

Wikipedia edit authors are known and tagged aren’t they? (I seem to recall that it’s not a ‘free for all’.)

PainInTheEerie · 31/10/2017 14:33

I haven't a clue!

cozietoesie · 31/10/2017 14:38

I read a piece about it - some months back. It seems that you can’t just go in off the street and edit.......

I think Wiki tracks via IP? So they'd know which IP did the change but that's it. If the terminal had a security logon protocol the HoR would be able to track who was logged on, but Wiki wouldn't.

Plus, my son says there are things for a computer that change or disguise an IP. Kind of like those apps that will make a different phone number show up on your caller ID.

Still funny though.
