They stay quiet hoping that their people know who's telling the truth. Smile

What?

FBI investigated civil rights groups and considered KKK as victims?

Re the nuclear treaty, does Trump think he can bring Russia to heel?
Not enough between the ears methinks. Or is it distraction.

cozietoesie · 01/02/2019 18:54

He thinks he's the Great Negotiator.

Minimammoth · 01/02/2019 18:57

Oh yes I forgot that.
Actually that’s even more scary. I hope someone in the WH can contain him.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 01/02/2019 19:09

Everyone can see they weren’t misquoted because it was broadcast on tv!

I don’t think he can bring them to heel - I think this is another gift to Putin who can now merrily develop more nuclear weapons

cozietoesie · 01/02/2019 19:19

More types. (He already has quite enough to be going on with.)

I’m sure this is a surprise to nobody - Trump confirms he forced Mattis to leave.

I think it's distraction technique (arms and Russia). He has no care at all for the consequences of his actions. I really think he is acting treasonably (is that a word?) and should be clapped in jail for the rest of his life.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 02/02/2019 06:40

I’m not sure - this seems more like a continuation of changing the Republican national convention platform towards Ukraine, wanting to pull out of nato, not passing Russian sanctions. I’m sure the chaos is an added bonus but this is something that looks to me like a Putin-benefiting decision.

@ACLU
BREAKING: Tonight the Trump administration filed documents that don’t dispute the recent report that there may have been thousands more separated kids. They’re arguing it would take too long to figure out where those kids are because they have no tracking system.

Sorry meant to add...

""I hope that in his State of the Union address, Donald Trump will finally acknowledge the real face of immigrants in this country — women and children fleeing violence, law-abiding, tax-paying people who would do almost anything to be Americans," Watson Coleman said in a statement Wednesday. "And if he can't, I've invited Victorina so that he may look her in her eyes to tell his lies to a familiar face."

She has been invited by a Democrat Senate member to the State of the Union address and worked for years at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club where the Managers there helped her obtain fake documents so she could take the job.

Federal judge warns she may impose gag order on Roger Stone, prosecutors
abcnews.go.com/Politics/federal-judge-warns-impose-gag-order-roger-stone/story?id=60783828

One week after Roger Stone’s arrest and indictment, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday warned she may impose a gag order on the veteran GOP operative with close ties to President Donald Trump, but said she has not yet made a decision.

The pre-trial proceeding should not be a "public relations campaign,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson said, adding that she's worried that Stone treating the pre-trial process "like a book tour" could taint a potential jury at a future trial.

She gave Stone and the government until Feb. 8 to submit arguments about whether she should impose a gag order.

Just leaving this here because I went to a Joan Baez concert yesterday.
This song was from when "we had a real president" and he sang Amazing Grace at a service after a mass shooting.

Roussette · 02/02/2019 12:16

Wow Lweji I'm jealous! One of my older siblings was mad on Joan and my childhood was listening to her music

lionheart · 02/02/2019 15:17

I recently listened to a radio broadcast in which she talked about her music and her activism both past and present. A really interesting and persistent woman ... Smile
