It’s a National Non-Emergency: Trump thread 91

[TheClaws]

Here we are in February 2019 - Trump has declared a National Emergency to funnel the funds for his border wall, he’s just come off a ridiculous SOTU that contained more lies than not, and he’s just tweeted this:

“These guys, the investigators, ought to be in jail. What they have done, working with the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented. This is one of the greatest political hoaxes ever perpetrated on the people of this Country, and Mueller is a coverup.” Rush Limbaugh

But here’s a reminder he’s not one of the sharpest tools in the box.

'Roger Stone now directly attacking the federal judge presiding over his case and posting a pic of her head beside crosshairs.'

Oh Dear.

Screen cap from our Telly. There wasn't much more information but sounds as this was not an isolated incident nor was she the only one involved

A CNN piece

election fraud?

Yes, that's the one, cozie. Looks like they've had someone come forward and admit that they had falsely submitted absentee ballots that belonged to other people.

I hope this story gets followed up on.

This is the one that 45 really didn't like.

Watch it now. Who knows how long it will be around for?

He’s retweeted a Fox hack, but the tweet itself is a bit shocking for a POTUS.

Really dont believe this is the best of ideas. (Is Trump not listening to his intel officers again?)

Roger Stone formally apologized in a letter filed with the court.

"Please inform the Court that the photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted. I had no intention of disrespecting the Court and humbly apologize to the Court for the transgression."

I think something’s about to drop. Two tweets here whinging about McCabe and “treason” - not a word a President should invoke without due care.

“The biggest abuse of power and corruption scandal in our history, and it’s much worse than we thought. Andrew McCabe (FBI) admitted to plotting a coup (government overthrow) when he was serving in the FBI, before he was fired for lying & leaking.” @seanhannity @FoxNews Treason!

Remember this, Andrew McCabe didn’t go to the bathroom without the approval of Leakin’ James Comey!

Is Trump actually punning with the Leakin’ there?
No, thought not, not smart enough.

Hello, as it's a national emergency I thought I'd better add my two penn'orth. Thank you for the new thread, TheClaws.

I like the sound of this, from the New York Times: 16 States Sue to Stop Trump’s Use of Emergency Powers to Build Border Wall

The value of Trump's tweet has never waned. He is graceless. And whilst his core cult base might like his name calling and nicknames, the rest of the country and the world don't.

Do you mind if I just place a mark right here? I keep losing you.

I'm still reading intermittently but I broke my wrist nearly a month ago so ...

I've just watched Rachel Maddow for the first time in ages. The boiling frog analogy is so appropriate see also Brexit as always. Thanks to everyone for keeping the thread going.

Ouch Gumpendorf and hello Bigly.

Here's some 'not news':

Oh no Gump! Hope it's improving.

I consider the Vietnam Trump/Un meeting as just another photo op.

McCabe on Mueller.

.....I know him pretty well. And I have never known him to be intimidated by anything or anyone. He is at heart an investigator, and he is not the kind of investigator who’s going to be brushed off of a potential area of investigation because he’s afraid of provoking the ire of the president, or making somebody mad, or getting too close to the boundaries. He is going to go wherever he thinks he needs to go to find out what happened.

Bertrand: Do you think we’ll ever hear from Mueller? Do you think he’ll come out and explain his findings once all this is over?
McCabe: He’ll explain his findings in the report, and then if he’s called upon to testify about it, he’ll certainly do that. But he is always the guy who will say less than more. He’ll seek less attention than more attention. He is perfectly happy to do his job and to do it fully and completely. And then, when it’s all said and done, he’ll lock the door behind him and go home.....
