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.

Whitaker Gawn?

And Stone is in trouble (again). Mueller has eyes and ears everywhere, or an intern tasked with monitoring social media.

I've got a vague memory that where Burr decides not to put something in the report to Congress, someone (I forget who) has the right to ask for reasons etc.

Oh Dear.

Forget that post on 'reasons'. (I think I'm subtly wrong.)

Russian Ambassador says his government has offered to sit down with American officials about the 2016 elections and “negotiate” on this issue. #facepalm
@StimsonCenter

Apart from putting down the very real requirement for readiness drills by calling them “war games”, I have no doubt whatsoever this was discussed at the summit last week. Along with sanctions, it is important to North Korea that they not continue. They were discussed at the first summit as well, and Trump did hint as suspending the drills then, so that may be what he is hinting at here. However, up until now, the drills had continued and the US had maintained its military presence in South Korea.

The military drills, or war games as I call them, were never even discussed in my mtg w/ Kim Jong Un of NK—FAKE NEWS! I made that decision long ago because it costs the U.S. far too much money to have those “games”, especially since we are not reimbursed for the tremendous cost!

Negotiate what?

Not sure we've touched on this but we have descended to a whole new level of fabrication here:

It's just getting off the rails here with Scrotus. He's sounding more and more hysterical and his minions are sounding more and more 'defensive' of him.

Sarah Huckleberry Slanders is the worst of the worst. She must honestly have no scruples whatsoever. Or she's secretly in luuurrrvvvee with Scrotus. Now that's a mental picture that will put you off your feed for a week!!!

I wonder how they think this will end for them. What do they imagine the history books will say? How they can look anyone in the eye?

It's so bizarre.

NEW DERIPASKA DETAILS: Under
@USTreasury
's sanctions relief deal, 10.5M shares (current value: $94.5M) of Deripaska's EN+ were transferred to a mysterious entity called the LIBERI FOUNDATION.
*Despite the name, Liberi is actually a trust fund for Deripaska's kids, I can confirm.

The transfer of $94.5M worth of shares to a trust fund for DERIPASKA's kids means that the sanctioned Russian oligarch's family will benefit from a TRUMP administration deal intended to punish him.

Surprise surprise.
