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

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".

Thanks, Gump.

You are all so kind but I have to declare a mistrial as I missed some dates out in April and May 2017. Sometimes the threads went so fast we didn't have time to link to previous and following. Anyway, big sigh and this is a revised list for April and May 2017

It was fascinating looking back - even the thread titles tell a story of the Trump journey and how it has changed in the last 20 months.

There should be a separate section just for the Trump threads!

THat occurred to me Lweji but i think the Westminstenders threads are trying to get into AIBU as it gets more traffic.

Yeah, there was a suggestion before about a separate section, but I think then people would have to know about the threads to find them.

There's only one thread running at a time: it's not like we're clogging up Active with 20 threads each with 14 posts.

So I prefer the compromise of listing them especially when someone else does the work.

'Trump'Trump’s Untested Authority to Revoke Security Clearances.
Can the president restrict a person’s access to classified material for any reason he wants? It may take a lawsuit from former CIA Director John Brennan to find out.'
www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/568201/?__twitter_impression=true

I make the total
2017 61
2018 19

so that's 80 threads to date but I'm a bit thread drunk now so will check I have them all at another point.

Meanwhile, does the Pecker immunity mean he and the Nat Enquirer get to carry on as normal or will the magazine and it's support for Trump now end?

'Paul Manafort and Trump’s Pardon Pattern
As he has with Manafort, President Trump has decried the government’s “unfair” treatment of all three men he has pardoned to date. But will the pattern hold with his former campaign manager?'

Wait...
@realDonaldTrump
Ex-NSA contractor to spend 63 months in jail over “classified” information.

Not real classified information? Just "classified" information?

I think some weeks ago I posted a chat between Snowden and a couple of other whistleblowers, which included exactly a discussion about the courage necessary for this, but also for the need for such martyrs, if you like.

Woah, Weisselberg's got immunity.

Who's he able to put on the hook, then, who's bigger than him? Hmm...

You don’t give Trump Org CFO Weisselberg & David Pecker immunity just to prosecute Michael Cohen.

Sad to see that John McCain has decided to cease treatment. I hope he hangs in there long enough to see trump get his comeuppance.

Genuinely sorry to hear the news about John McCain. Weisselberg flipping will have Trump shitting himself - he knows EVERYTHING.

Oh

Wonder what the sequence of these three dominoes falling was?
