General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[The Johnny]

Yeah like, everyone already knows what's going on is illegal and unconstitutional... and the further and further boundaries are pushed to what can be done without punishment or any kind of restraint, it becomes the new "normal and acceptable" limits of what is admisible. At this point, piling on more charges is doing nothing for accountability, but rather pushing the boundaries.

Nothing to see here, citizen, just move along, its just "normal" business.

Q: How can you tell Trump is lying?
A: his mouth is moving and sounds are coming out of it

Nearly one dozen American troops were wounded in Iran's Jan. 8 missile attack on Iraq's al-Asad air base. This week, they were medically evacuated to U.S. military hospitals in Kuwait and Landstuhl, Germany, to be treated for traumatic brain injury and to undergo further evaluation, several U.S. defense and military officials have confirmed to Defense One.

Senior military and Trump administration officials had said on Jan. 8 that 11 Iranian missiles had caused "no casualties, no friendly casualties, whether they are U.S., coalition, contractor, et cetera."

In the past week, news organizations that were granted access to the base to film the damage and interview military personnel have reported that no Americans were killed, wounded, or "seriously injured." But the New York Times reported on Monday that some personnel had been treated for concussions.

In a Jan. 16 statement, a spokesman for the U.S. military command in Baghdad said, "As previously stated, while no U.S. service members were killed in the Jan. 8 Iranian attack on Al Asad Air base, several were treated for concussion symptoms from the blast and are still being assessed."

McConnell is up to something, I just can't figure out what.

Is it too much to hope that he will throw the maga khan under the bus?

Not likely, but possible.

That particular lie had a lot of folks optimistic about avoiding war with Iran.

Turning the trial into a farce? A trial with no witnesses is just Trump screaming "this is a witch hunt, the worst in ALL OF HISTORY" over and over again into the cameras, like a great big baby, while the Senators go "well this is all very compelling, but unfortunately there are no witnesses. We find the President innocent."

Well that explains a lot about his present atrophied chestnut and its terrible ideas

[LMNO]

Holy shit.

Saudi Arabia apparently hacked Jeff Bezos' phone (who owns the Trump-critical Washington Post), and downloaded information from it for months.

This included information about Jeff's mistress, pics included.

Later, the National Enquirer (Trump-friendly) "somehow" received text and pics about the mistress and tried to extort Bezos.

The kicker: The malware came through a What's App message, sent by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself.

If our country had a single vertebra to it's name, we'd be spanking the hell out of SA.

[Cain]

The other pieces were known before, but the WhatsApp message info is new.

Also recall, the journalist they murdered and dismembered in their Ankara consulate also worked for....the Washington Post.

  Hadn't thought of that.

[Cain]

Oh yeah. There really is no bottom here. Some of those Saudi prices who were detained and tortured by the Crown Prince? Al-Waleed bin Talal was one of them. He is notable because he saved Trump from bankruptcy twice. He had to pay a significant amount of his assets to the Saudi state to secure his release.

[Faust]

One of the questions in the investigation was on how they were tracking Kashoggi's whereabouts, if Bezo's or others were sending that on and deliberately or inadvertently got him killed well
Probably nothing will happen, because its 2020 and this is the new normal.
