The damning Mueller Report is out - but Trump thinks he’s exonerated (Trump thread 93)

[TheClaws]

... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

Well, Kislyak asks Flynn to set up a video conference between Trump (President elect) and Putin.

Flynn has parted company with his lawyer.

And the voicemail from Trump's lawyer to Flynn's man has been released.

Yes, I clocked the video conference request (but I don't think it states whether conf took place). Also the closed door meeting with Kushner.

I can't remember how much of this is actually illegal – stuff a president-elect is not permitted to do as it usurps the actual president...

He doesn’t appear to see the irony. Hannity states haughtily that it is despicable for Pelosi call for Trump to be jailed. “Based on no actual crimes, she wants a political opponent locked up in prison. Umm, that happens in banana republics. Beyond despicable behavior.’

Still on Hannity, Trump’s no.1. propaganda man, who also tweeted this with zero self-reflection. He has an obsession with Hillary’s emails and still believes she should be prosecuted - he airs segments almost daily on the issue. Here, he’s complaining about Jerrold Nadler.

Sean Hannity @seanhannity
LET. IT. GO. “We are starting with the Mueller report which shows ample evidence of multiple crimes...”

This is surely explosive...
I've linked a thread that sets this out..

'Last night @OpenSecretsDC released the most comprehensive guide to President Donald Trump's foreign business interests in 30+ countries across the globe currently available—but it's OVER 10,000 WORDS so I'm going to tweet out some highlights here'

(rather than spend ages copy and pasting each tweet, I've used the thread reader app to make it easy to read)

All he promised to do on election ... no new deals or projects abroad, to divest himself of the running of the company, to donate foreign govt profits to the US Treasury.... all bullshit, he has carried on as if he werent POTUS

I’ve never understood it, Roussette. Unless it’s because most of the GOP do the same. (And to be fair, perhaps the Democrats do as well.) But for Trump, a billionaire, a person who could easily be bribed/bribe others? It’s insane.

'As of last Thursday, every woman seeking a legal abortion in the state of Missouri is being subjected to a mandatory, medically unnecessary, invasive pelvic examination by order of the state government.'

Ha ha at Brexit Party defeat in Peterborough, who's the stone cold loser now Trump, Sadiq Khan who won the London Mayoral election with over a million votes or your pet Farage who can't even win a bye election in a strongly Leave constituency, having been given extraordinary exposure and airtime by the press and broadcasting companies hang your head in shame BBC?

Thanks Roussette--it bears some scrutiny ...

'Even otherwise spineless Republican senators are alarmed at Trump’s trade wars – because tariffs are hurting crucial 2020 battleground states.'

'Jobs creation slows dramatically with payrolls up just 75,000 in May, much worse than expected

Nonfarm payrolls for May increased up by just 75,000, the Labor Department says.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected a gain of 180,000.

March’s job count was revised lower from 189,000 to 153,000 and the April number was lowered to 224,000 from 263,000, for a total reduction of 75,000.

The unemployment rate remained at a 50-year low of 3.6%.

Average hourly earnings year over year in May were up 3.1%, one-tenth of a point lower than expectations.

Yikes. Thanks, lion.

I guess if people toss aside all sense and decency to vote on self-interest that part of the Trump incentive can be quickly undone.

We are going to need a new thread.

Inspirational.

'For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!'

Science. .........

Science indeed. You gotta love "Mars (of which the Moon is a part)" though. That's a hitherto unplumbed depth of utter ignorance.

Yep.

including Mars (of which the Moon is a part)

What was that?

obviously he's talking about the manner in which the solar system was formed from a flat disc of stardust or some such thing....
Nah, he's just a fuckwhit 😂🤣😂

Don't even ... argh!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/06/fake-news-how-misinformation-became-the-new-front-in-us-political-warfare

Then again I just read that he's referring to a plan to reach Mars using the moon as a base from which to get there
It is still extremely alarming that the most powerful man in the world it's not able to construct a clear logical sentence
