"There's a pony in there somewhere". Trump con't

[AcrossthePond55]

Title based on what a college professor used to tell us when the going got tough.

"Just remember when you're standing shoulder deep in horse shit, there's a pony in there somewhere. So just keep digging".

I'm trying to find the whole Fox interview but it seems to be v. elusive.

Either we let Russia’s hacking slide or we have nuclear war.

That must have been what Kennedy thought too when he let Russia put those missiles in Cuba...

He was fired from his previous job for alleged sexual harassment
Cap fits - Dennard is a trumptoady:
Washington Post

Trump lauded White House defender Paris Dennard as “wonderful.” He was fired from his previous job for alleged sexual harassment.

I think he's right on the "unbelievable" Supreme Court Justices. A for unbelievability.

Yep, Lweji, Curly is one of the US' greatest political thinkers. That's some intellect his ringlets are incubating

Trump to Fox: "It's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal ... they go from 10 years to they're a national hero. They have a statue erected in their honor. It's not a fair thing."

The unindicted co-conspirator continues to inform.

Well he's an A+ at self-aggrandizement, lying, tweetstorming, racism, sleazemongering, hate enciting, to name just a sample. So he not a total failure, Gump

Remarkable he says this stuff out loud, but it is ask window is into his true thought process, Gump - although very light on the process bit.

@ohmymimi - thanks - yes, thats precisely the point - he's admitted making an undisclosed payment - yet seems to believe that because it did not come from campaign funds it's ok - weird!

McConnell, he just cannot shut up:

'The Latest: Trump says impeachment would cause economic dive.'

Her parents already have US citizenship, so I'd say yes. Unless you mean back to the WH

I read somewhere (sorry it was a few days ago, can't find it), that she has her parents and one sister over but there is still another sister to come and until that happens she's not making any moves

the offence is not declaring a payment that was intended to influence the election isn't it? - if it had come from campaign funds it would presumably have been ok - so has he misunderstood and dropped himself further into the poo?

frankiestein, yes, that's it in a nutshell.

On ohmymimi's CNN link, one of the talking heads explains "It doesn’t matter whether the money comes out of the campaign, it matters whether the money is spent on the campaign."

So Trump has admitted on TV to a felony punishable by up to 5 years in jail, ie failing to declare these election contributions on his public disclosure forms.

Meanwhile Trumpies are choking the airwaves yelling that he isn't guilty of the lesser issue of using campaign funds to pay off a porn star.

NB I'm not sure how "OK" it would have been to use campaign funds: at the very least, donors might have an opinion about it. But it's nothing like as serious as the felony Trump's admitted to.

Here.

This is the CNN link I'm talking about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RRZBTHOI90&feature=youtu.be

Get ready for the Autumn of Allen Weisselberg.

That is the name we will soon be hearing constantly.

The tweeter is New Yorker journalist. Is this the story Jon Cooper has been trailing?

it matters whether the money is spent on the campaign."

I have been struggling with this too. Isn't it that money used to influence the election was not declared as a campaign contribution?

I think Trump is getting confused with using campaign contributions for personal expenditure purposes which is what Sen Hunter and his wife has been indicted for .

frankie just realised I misread your name. Gracious of you not to point it out (I called Barbra Streisand Streisland for a long time. Saw her at the Albert Hall, had her lps, saw a few films, never twigged. So now I don't snigger when people talk about their 'prostrate' playing up!)

Isn't it that money used to influence the election was not declared as a campaign contribution
Yes, I am sure that is part of it, Gump. I heard a very clear explanation in the early hours, on CNN, but dropped off to sleep straight after and only have partial recall. I have been looking for a clear, comprehensive written summary.

mimi don't be embarrassed at getting names wrong. I only realised yesterday I've been calling you mini for yonks. I was too embarrassed to point it out

Gump, it is discussed about an hour into this:

I hadn't noticed Roussette We do often see what we expect to see!

I know! I called Lweji wrong for god knows how long too, I put an extra L in and made her welsh

On the lighter side, the Oaf's comments to Ms Potplant about watching 'flippers' for 30/40 years made me think he may have a secret cache of copies of an old tv series:
'What's that boy? There's Russian treasure hidden in that strange chest? Show me!'

Great 'Time' cover, lion, he is going to have quite a wall full to display at his golf clubs
