Donald Trump and US politics

The following is why people are skeptical, if not in complete disagreement with opinions put out by our national intelligence agencies. When evidence exists that might implicate them in wrongdoing, or in doing something that the voters won't approve of, they attempt to destroy that evidence.

Last month, it came to light that the CIA destroyed irreplaceable microfilmed cables of the CIA's clandestine Iran insurrection operation, codenamed TPAJAX - the CIA's secret role in the 1953 Iran coup

In 2014 The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) told the Central Intelligence Agency last week that it was withholding approval of a CIA proposal to allow the destruction of the email records of all but 22 senior Agency officials.

Now, the CIA is asking the NARA to delete potential evidence of CIA collusion, leaks, moles, and plants with the media, Department of Justice and Department of Defense.

It would be far better if the blogger making these claims used or referenced actual video his so we could check the claims for ourselves. Note- he does reference one at the end, but he misrepresents what it shows. In this example - he falsely claims that:

"Oh, they're gonna give you the goods"

is deflecting or minimizing

"offering to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia."

Giving someone the goods, getting the scoop, etc are just slang that indicates something of real substance will be obtained, instead of a teaser.

Getting the goods on Hillary, wouldn't mean getting her dry cleaning, her collection of shoes. While it is sometimes used for other things, having the goods on someone almost always means evidence that the person doesn't want you to have. (having photos of someone cheating on their wife, for exameple)


"have the goods on someone"

verb phrase

To have incriminating evidence: They can't convict him because they don't have the goods on him (1913+)

TL/DR the blogger blogging about untruths uses an untruth to call a truth a lie.

Trump is ending the covert CIA program of funding Obama's jihadi terrorist buddies in Syria, ahem, I mean "moderate democratic islamist who never beheaded anyone".

The corrupt corporate media is trying to present this move as "help to Russia and Iran". Not funding jihadi fanatics who behead kids and perpetuating the Syrian war, is a bad thing now.

You do realize that neither Isis nor the Syrian government need any U.S. support, they have enough money and support from elsewhere.

Hey but stick to your narrative of "all muslims are extremists", maybe some Dumbos believe it.

ROFL

I wonder if any of his al quada homies sent him a bouquet? Or even a get well card?

You know what is funny? He will probably run for re election and the geniuses there will vote for him. I can see the old (expletive deleted) running from beyond the grave.

Even though Trump is, in fact, the current president, he only stopped running for a brief few hours on Inauguration Day. As soon as Trump filed for re-election, at 5:11 pm on January 20, his campaign officially sprang back into action. That means Trump can legally continue to funnel funds from donors back into his own businesses. According to the Trump campaign's self-reported FEC filings, this has amounted to about $600,000 spent at Trump-owned properties in just the first six months of his presidency.

Nearly $400,000 of that campaign money went to rent at Trump Tower, with $90,000 going to the The Trump Corporation for "legal consulting," nearly $60,000 to the Trump International Golf Club, $15,000 to the Trump International Hotel in DC, and about $1,700 to Trump-brand bottled water, among various payments. And that's just the money that went to businesses in which Trump has a personal role. The Trump campaign has spent a total of $10 million in the last six months; any shell companies and subsidiaries of other Trump-owned businesses that may have gotten a piece of that don't have to be disclosed.

"

Despite its likely legality, the Trump campaign paying out so much to Trump companies remains morally dubious at best, say Weiner. "Bribery, in its purest form, is paying someone to benefit themselves personally in exchange for political favor. So when campaign money—which is usually tied up in not just benefiting the campaign itself, but in getting them elected and enacting their agenda—is literally just flowing into the candidate's pocket, obviously that raises concerns that go to the heart of why we worry about money in politics in the first place."

Drain the swamp!!!!

Lol, asking for the option to pardon himself now? In other words, he admits to committing a crime and wants to make it go away with presidential power.

Do his supporters in this thread now admit he won because of Russian help?
