President Elect Donald Trump?

Funniest thing I’ve read in a while. Speaker Ryan calls Jeffrey Dahmer an “unconventional foodie”

so could a devil’s advocate say the Prez is trying to shake down Nordstrom for their decision to drop Ivanka–conflict of interest
kinda like Melania case–how did her retracting her college degree and using Michelle Obama’s speech affect her ability to get contracts-
were Ivanka’s clothes even made in the US

To quote Trump “in my opinion” there hasn’t been 1 single day of his presidency that he hasn’t looked like a total arsehole. He’s also supposed to be leasing space to the DOJ in Trump tower, and possibly Miralago. His wife is apparently looking to profit from being in a governmental position also. Not to mention what it’s going to cost to keep her butt sitting in Trump tower. He’s very unpresidential.

Not that ignorant shit again!
If the federal government, particularly the military uses property owned by a private party, they are required to pay rent. It’s that pesky third amendment to the constitution. It appears that the DoD wants to have their people close to the president wherever he decides to work, so they will pay market rent in the respective properties to have space for their staff. It’s no different from the Clintons renting space at their Chautaqua home to the secret service. The government pays rent because it has to. In NYC, they could probably find space in an adjacent property, but considering the neighborhood I doubt they’ll save much over going into Trump Tower.

I understand the principle just not the location. rent space from Trump on 5th avenue in what’s probably the most expensive city on earth.
Great tweet I just read.
“Nordstrom and Congress has switched roles: one checks the executive branch, the other is bought by rich people”

well I ran did relent and give visas to US wrestling team after taking them away with Trump’s initial EO–I am sure the stay of the ban played a part in the decision and Trump not wanting to do a Carter redo of boycotting athletes from playing

Agree. He is making things so much harder than they really have to be, shooting himself in the foot…to para-phrase a CT senator/congressman, based on Trumps comments/tweets etc, the window is rapidly closing for democrats to be able to work with him on anything-
she was warned-she was given an explanation-she persisted–Mitch–seriously Ted called u a liar on the floor

This has been drawing a lot of attention today. Apparently the government ethics web page crashed after Kellyanne Conway brought it up.

From what I’ve seen it looks like Kellyanne/Trump broke the law in regards to the Ivanka tweeting/interview. My understanding is this would’ve also breached the law. Pence is one of the people that denied, denied, denied. IMO I think a Pence presidency would be more dialed back and not nearly as crazy as this circus is turning out. Trump is like a ethics nightmare. I heard about this on the radio on the way in. One of the things he pledged was no foreign deals, but they’re possibly doing a Trump resort in the Dominican.

Another day and another Trump issue.-
So it’s looking like Flynn will be the first one into the chopping block. Saw reports that Pence isn’t happy that he was setup to lie for him. Members of congress are also calling for his immediate dismissal.

I thought that’s what we were talking about was money being spent on Trump. Like the Obamas all moved to DC. Whereas Melanie is just costing us more money because they can’t bring their child to another private school in DC.
To me that’s a part of the problem in DC. In a world of constant deficit spending you can’t have the attitude of what’s a hundred thousand here or there. That money adds up right? We’re like 20 trillion in debt. Not to mention the GOP is supposed to be the conservative party.
Interestingly I read the bookies are giving action on a Trump resignation/impeachment. One of them wasn’t even paying even money, another was at 4:1.-
It is what it is regarding Melanie living in New York, Melanie can live where she wants, I will lose no sleep over it. Trump will waste more taxpayer money than that.
As for political travel, they are required to keep a residence in their home state. I don’t think their family should be required to move to DC and if we look at the Founders & “original intent,” all the Congressmen at the time travelled on horseback to DC from their home residences when Congress was in session. We could require them to travel by horseback to DC whenever Congress is not in session?
This issue of vacation expense & plain golf, etc is small potatoes compared to real worries and issues. Stuff for idle minds to get worked up over, IMO. I thought that true when the issue was raised over Debby, over Obama & now for Trump.

How much did we pay for Nancy Peloso’s travel on an Air Force jet to home to Cali? In one two year period she cost us $101,000.00 and that was just for her booze.
I remember that one. Her staff complained that the air-force wanted to put her in a lowly C21A which occasionally requires a fuel-stop. Not enough room for the hangers-on in her posse.

I get that you have to protect the president, whomever he/she may be. And, I get that Melania doesn’t want to live in the white house until their child is out of school. But, I did not expect to see such blatant hypocrisy less than four weeks into his term. At this rate, he’ll go by what Obama cost the taxpayers just a few months.-

Quote from Frumious
Keep you eye on the ball, not the distractions. Trump wins by distracting from the real issues winning more support from his base while bamboozling the opposition who sputter in response instead of dealing with the real issues. He’s incompetent, soup-rounded by incompetents but who are skilled in manipulating people and the media with distractions and fake issues and real fake news.
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/opinion/the-right-way-to-resist-trump.html]https://www.nytimes.com/2…y-to-resist-trump.html[/link]
Five years ago, I [link=http://www.city-journal.org/html/dodging-trump-bullet-10850.html]warned [/link]about the risk of a Donald J. Trump presidency. Most people laughed. They thought it inconceivable.
I was not particularly prescient; I come from Italy, and I had already seen this movie, starring Silvio Berlusconi, who led the Italian government as prime minister for a total of nine years between 1994 and 2011. I knew how it could unfold.
Now that Mr. Trump has been elected president, the Berlusconi parallel could offer an important lesson in how to avoid transforming a razor-thin victory into a two-decade affair. If you think presidential term limits and Mr. Trumps age could save the country from that fate, think again. His tenure could easily turn into a Trump dynasty.
Mr. Berlusconi was able to govern Italy for as long as he did mostly thanks to the incompetence of his opposition. It was so rabidly obsessed with his personality that any substantive political debate disappeared; it focused only on personal attacks, the effect of which was to increase Mr. Berlusconis popularity. His secret was an ability to set off a Pavlovian reaction among his leftist opponents, which engendered instantaneous sympathy in most moderate voters. Mr. Trump is no different.
The Italian experience provides a blueprint for how to defeat Mr. Trump. Only two men in Italy have won an electoral competition against Mr. Berlusconi: Romano Prodi and the current prime minister, Matteo Renzi (albeit only in a 2014 European election). Both of them treated Mr. Berlusconi as an ordinary opponent. They focused on the issues, not on his character. In different ways, both of them are seen as outsiders, not as members of what in Italy is defined as the political caste.
The Democratic Party should learn this lesson. It should not do as the Republicans did after President Obama was elected. Their preconceived opposition to any of his initiatives poisoned the Washington well, fueling the anti-establishment reaction (even if it was a successful electoral strategy for the party).
The last thing they should want is for Mr. Trump to use the Republican establishment as a fig leaf for his own failure, dumping on it the responsibility for blocking the popular reforms that he promised during the campaign and probably never intended to pass. That will only enlarge his image as a hero of the people shackled by the elites.

Then the Anne Frank Center comes out with this. At what point is it enough? More loose use of the words anti-Semitic.
His statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting Antisemitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record, Goldstein said in the statement. Make no mistake: The Antisemitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration.

Are they? Just because people aren’t obvious enough to use the N-word doesn’t make true any absence of racism. That’s the new PC position except this is on the Right, that everything will get you accused of racism and homophobia, etc. Convenient defensive crouch. I don’t call you a N but I believe you are a criminal or “statistically likely” to be a criminal. Or I’m not a homophobe but believe transgenders just want to sexually assault my children in bathrooms of the other gender. Or you will not be served by my business because you are LGBT because that’s what God commands.
Under those excuses, Jim Crow was justifiable & Conservatives were correct, the Constitution doesn’t cover LGBT or “colored” people as well as caucasians & the Federal government insisting that the Constitution did apply was overstepping it’s rights.
See Lee Atwater on Southern Strategy:
[i]You start out in 1954 by saying, Nigger, nigger, nigger. By 1968 you cant say niggerthat hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states rights, and all that stuff, and youre getting so abstract. Now, youre talking about cutting taxes, and all these things youre talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. We want to cut this, is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than Nigger, nigger.
[/i]
So instead specific laws are created that affect a select group of the population, the select group who just happen to be black. So in spite of the real figures you believe minorities and immigrants are bleeding the country dry on welfare payments because you also happen to believe this select group is lazy and doesn’t want to work at the same time these “lazy” immigrants are taking jobs away form Americans. And so on.
Is that racist or just accidentally targeting a specific group who happen to have a darker complexion than many angry GOP voters?

We want to cut this, is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than Nigger, nigger.
[/i]
So instead specific laws are created that affect a select group of the population, the select group who just happen to be black. So in spite of the real figures you believe minorities and immigrants are bleeding the country dry on welfare payments because you also happen to believe this select group is lazy and doesn’t want to work at the same time these “lazy” immigrants are taking jobs away form Americans. And so on.
Is that racist or just accidentally targeting a specific group who happen to have a darker complexion than many angry GOP voters?

telling a reporter to sit down
again I am very weary of whites who say I am not racist I like Ben Carlson–some racism is so ingrained that the person who profess so much just can’t see what there actions project
Your imagined racism in others is so ingrained that you cannot possibly be objective about anything.
Your world view is damaging to yourself and others. Mostly because it is not in step with reality, but more because it is totally irrational and utterly baseless. -

It’s a sad commentary on the state of the democratic party that Ellison was even in the running.
Perez is just more more of the obamaworld which was repudiated in the last election. I doubt he’ll bring in the voters the party is going to need if they want to regain power. Sure, the ‘Trump democrats’ are going to vote D in the next election, but that won’t change the balance in congress far enough fro the Ds to have a say.-
And the answer is:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) set Twitter on fire Saturday with an epic troll of President Trump and his unending obsession with the size of the crowds that he draws.
Early Saturday, Trump tweeted that if the people who voted for him held a rally, It would be the biggest of them all!
To which Sanders issued this scorching reply:

politely disagree—Perez come from a strong immigrant family and has a wealth of experience–he was not the gift the GOP wanted–with Keith they would have use the Lee Atwater hatemonger theme–now they have to attack a man of color who has an immigrant history and made a success of himself–the DEMS showed up in Delaware and that seat stayed democrat

They don’t need access to your cell to check your business email. That’s typically going to be saved on a government/corporate operated email system (unless your special snowflake HRC). I was actually listening to someone talk on NPR about the leaks have gotten more high tech now in terms of protecting the leaker.

Let’s see here, Mike Pence used an AOL email account for official business while Governor? AND he was hacked. But no surprise there since he was using AOL. What idiot uses AOL for so-called private and business email? Using AOL is begging to be hacked & your wish will be granted.
LOCK HIM UP! Or is a state email on security matters OK to be hacked because, who cares?
[link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/03/03/pence-is-an-incredible-hypocrite-on-official-emails-but-thats-only-part-of-the-story/]https://www.washingtonpos…nly-part-of-the-story/[/link]
I have some disturbing news to share: Republicans might not be as deeply committed to proper email management as youve been led to believe.
During the campaign, the entire Republican Party argued that despite Hillary Clintons copious qualifications for the presidency, it would be unconscionably dangerous to let her anywhere near the Oval Office because she had used a private email account while she was secretary of state. Crowds at Republican events would chant Lock her up! whenever Clintons name was mentioned. In one debate, Donald Trump [link=https://youtu.be/Hbh2qXBMjuY]said[/link] to Clinton that if he were president, Youd be in jail. With FBI Director James Comeys help, Trump and Republicans made Clintons use of private email the single most important issue of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Which is why [link=http://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/02/pence-used-personal-email-state-business—-and-hacked/98604904/]this story from Tony Cook of the Indianapolis Star[/link] is so interesting:
[blockquote]Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a private email account to conduct public business as governor of Indiana, at times discussing sensitive matters and homeland security issues.
Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governors residence to the states response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pences top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.
Cyber-security experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that personal accounts like Pences are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pences personal account was hacked last summer.
[/blockquote]
The parallels dont stop there. According to the article, Pences office said his campaign hired outside counsel as he was departing as governor to review his AOL emails and transfer any involving public business to the state. Which was [i]exactly[/i]what Hillary Clinton did and what Pence and Trump so vehemently criticized her for. When Trump [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-invites-russia-to-meddle-in-the-us-presidential-race-with-clintons-emails/2016/07/27/a85d799e-5414-11e6-b7de-dfe509430c39_story.html]invited[/link] the Russian government to hack Clintons email to recover what had been deleted, it was those personal emails he was talking about.
And Pence is not the only one: Scott Pruitt, President Trumps Environmental Protection Agency administrator, not only used a private email account to conduct official business as attorney general of Oklahoma, he [link=http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-epa-scott-pruitt-private-emails-20170227-story.html]lied about it[/link] during his confirmation hearings.
[b]Perhaps now that this has come out, Republicans will stop pretending that the email issue was anything more than a club to bludgeon Hillary Clinton with. The deep concern they expressed for cybersecurity was utterly insincere. [/b]
[b]In late January, we [link=http://www.newsweek.com/trump-emails-rnc-reince-priebus-white-house-server-548191]learned[/link] that top White House officials, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner and Sean Spicer, were using email addresses from the Republican National Committee with a private server! [/b]Once the story broke their addresses were deleted, but presumably had it remained secret, they would have continued to use them.
Thats not the only cybersecurity issue we still have to worry about. At the end of January, the New York Times [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/president-trump-white-house.html]reported[/link] that Trump was still using his old, unsecured Android phone, which is unbelievably reckless for the president of the United States. As Wired magazine [link=https://www.wired.com/2017/01/trump-android-phone-security-threat/]put it[/link], All it takes is clicking on one malicious link or opening one untoward attachment either of which can appear as though it were sent from a trusted source to compromise the device. From there, the phone could be infected with malware that spies on the network the device is connected to, logs keystrokes, takes over the camera and microphone for surreptitious recording, and more.
According to [link=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanwhitwam/2017/02/17/congress-pushing-for-investigation-of-trumps-android-phone/#6f71f328510a]some reports[/link], the phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3, which is five years old and is no longer supported with security patches.-

In one debate, Donald Trump [link=https://youtu.be/Hbh2qXBMjuY]said[/link] to Clinton that if he were president, Youd be in jail. With FBI Director James Comeys help, Trump and Republicans made Clintons use of private email the single most important issue of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Which is why [link=http://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/02/pence-used-personal-email-state-business—-and-hacked/98604904/]this story from Tony Cook of the Indianapolis Star[/link] is so interesting:
[blockquote]Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a private email account to conduct public business as governor of Indiana, at times discussing sensitive matters and homeland security issues.Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governors residence to the states response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pences top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.
Cyber-security experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that personal accounts like Pences are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pences personal account was hacked last summer.
[/blockquote]
The parallels dont stop there. According to the article, Pences office said his campaign hired outside counsel as he was departing as governor to review his AOL emails and transfer any involving public business to the state. Which was [i]exactly[/i]what Hillary Clinton did and what Pence and Trump so vehemently criticized her for. When Trump [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-invites-russia-to-meddle-in-the-us-presidential-race-with-clintons-emails/2016/07/27/a85d799e-5414-11e6-b7de-dfe509430c39_story.html]invited[/link] the Russian government to hack Clintons email to recover what had been deleted, it was those personal emails he was talking about.And Pence is not the only one: Scott Pruitt, President Trumps Environmental Protection Agency administrator, not only used a private email account to conduct official business as attorney general of Oklahoma, he [link=http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-epa-scott-pruitt-private-emails-20170227-story.html]lied about it[/link] during his confirmation hearings.
[b]Perhaps now that this has come out, Republicans will stop pretending that the email issue was anything more than a club to bludgeon Hillary Clinton with. The deep concern they expressed for cybersecurity was utterly insincere. [/b]
[b]In late January, we [link=http://www.newsweek.com/trump-emails-rnc-reince-priebus-white-house-server-548191]learned[/link] that top White House officials, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner and Sean Spicer, were using email addresses from the Republican National Committee with a private server! [/b]Once the story broke their addresses were deleted, but presumably had it remained secret, they would have continued to use them.
Thats not the only cybersecurity issue we still have to worry about. At the end of January, the New York Times [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/president-trump-white-house.html]reported[/link] that Trump was still using his old, unsecured Android phone, which is unbelievably reckless for the president of the United States. As Wired magazine [link=https://www.wired.com/2017/01/trump-android-phone-security-threat/]put it[/link], All it takes is clicking on one malicious link or opening one untoward attachment either of which can appear as though it were sent from a trusted source to compromise the device. From there, the phone could be infected with malware that spies on the network the device is connected to, logs keystrokes, takes over the camera and microphone for surreptitious recording, and more.
According to [link=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanwhitwam/2017/02/17/congress-pushing-for-investigation-of-trumps-android-phone/#6f71f328510a]some reports[/link], the phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3, which is five years old and is no longer supported with security patches.
