Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Flagpole wrote:

Actually, I am not against a President playing golf and even having a LOT of vacation time, because MOST of them work far more hours in a week than the average American (Trump reportedly doesn't). The problem with Trump is that not only does he play WAY more golf than any other president, but he made fun of Obama for playing golf, AND he (Trump) said he wouldn't have TIME to play golf because he would be so busy working for the American people. Had he not gone down that road, I wouldn't give a rat's ass about it.

But, the money … Trump bills the government at above market rates for the privilege of using his 'properties'. $130,000 per month to rent 3500 square feet in Trump Tower, which Trump doesn't not visit, but where his boys live and work.

Yes he could.

No, he couldn't. Did you even go to a Community College?

The house could vote for impeachment today if it so chooses. What makes you think the shutdown has anything to do with it?

Yeah. Cohen has in the past mentioned that he has been in Prague "14 years ago" he said, and now he says never. Both can't be true, so which one is it? Also, there are still reports (that have not been disproven) that say 1) his cell phone did ping off Prague cell towers, and 2) Russian electronic surveillance caught a Russian saying that Cohen was in Prague (two sources for this).

So, those sources and reports could be wrong, but they are still out there and not yet debunked.

And yes, Mueller knows everything. Cohen recently said in an interview that Trump is NOT telling the truth with regard to the Russia investigation.

There just is NO good news for Trump. He's guilty and will be indicted.

I know you were replying to someone else but my question is whether it would be preferable to have the government fully open and funded before casting an impeachment vote.

A shutdown/impeachment trial combo would be a rough situation.

Trump likes to make distractions from him being investigated and I think he likes the shutdown for that reason.

So, I heard a rumor on LRC today that someone was coming and another individual was done. Anyone know who the identity of the subjects of this rumor?

Yeah...it is a lot of money. I believe the President of the United States should be able to have some enjoyment though, and if golf is it, then I'm ok with it. Of all the bad things Trump has done and continues to do, his golfing is way down on the list...it's mainly just an example of what a hypocrite he is.

It is not the golfing. It is that he is making a lot of money off the government when he plays.

Like Obama with Healthcare, calling it Obamacare, kinda like that?

You do know that the term "Obamacare" was coined and endlessly pushed by the Republicans in order to try to rile up the base to hate enhanced access to health insurance, right?

You do know that, right?

False.

Obama called it Obamacare as did your girl Hillary. You do know that, right?

You yourself went to a Communist College. An easy choice for a Trumpette like you.

Hi Fat Hurts! Nice handle change!

Nope, I went to a school called Vanderbilt. Ever hear of it? I thought not.

You yourself went to a Socialist College majoring in racism, a liberals favorite warm spot. Racism at it's highest level.

[Read the bold text In the voice and intonation of a Southern Baptist Preacher. The congregation RESPONDS throughout with "Yes", "Praise Jesus", "I know that's right", and "Amen!"]

"We RAISE our hands palms to the Heavens and THE ALMIGHTY LORD OUR GOD and proclaim we seek someone who is actual, factual, and satisfactual...someone who is decent, recent, and reticent...someone who is rough, tough, and says 'enough!'"

[The answer to that and to ONE of your queries is...Robert Mueller.]

"With the guidance of the just and thorough Robert Mueller, we know that someone is a loser, accuser, and an abuser...someone who is bent, spent, and can't repent...someone who is a pawn, drawn, and will be gone!

[The answer to that and to your second query is Donald Trump, or "The clown".]

In summary:

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

It is not the golfing. It is that he is making a lot of money off the government when he plays.

I get it. I file that under him defrauding the government. I am against THAT part of his golfing. If JUST looking at golfing itself, even with the cost (sans the idea that Trump is making money of this), I don't have a big problem with it.

You are right to point out this fact though for clarity's sake. We should ALL be against him using the government for his own monetary gain.

Two full weeks of the Trump Shutdown . . . hang in there, everybody!

Yep, just like Obama and his aides during HIS government shutdown. How soon we forget.

We all hung in there when Barack did it, so what's the difference? Oh, it must have been his race that gave him a free ticket to do what he wanted.
