The Trump Presidency Thread


Recommended Posts

This is standard, it actually took to long...if you were close to the center as you think you would already know this. The only story here is the libtard AG who thought he could make a story out of it - and the fake media who tried to support him! The media has about the same self respect as the 28 year old stripper telling you she dances to pay for college!!

He misses me so he's trying to fill the void with a sugar substitute ( that's you suited )

I've had it.   He did not ****ing dispute the story   He made a statement about things that weren't in the ****ing story which means he confirmed the ****ing story.   Jesus Jumping Jimmeny Chris

he should throw a gay person off a building while he's there or kill someone for drawing a cartoon. really get into the spirit of being a muslim.

But do strippers all vote democrat?

Is this the new "We Got Him" scandal?

 

Does this mean the "Russians are Coming" scandal is over?

 

I mean I guess it has to be over.

 

What with the media now saying there were no phone taps on Trump that caught him talking to the Russians before the election in order to prove him wrong when he said there were phone taps.

 

Plus Hillary's team met with the Russians during the campaign.

 

Really took the wind out of that sail.

 

 

I'm glad you guys were able to find the new scandal that will bring down Trump.

 

It's nice to see you guys excited again after the collective pearl-clutching depression that lasted for weeks after Trump won bigly in the election.

 

 

Don't get too excited though...there's no there, there....again.

Scandal Fatigue and the Trump Ethical Swamp

 

Thanks to some fine work by two Bloomberg news reporters, David Kocieniewski and Caleb Melby, we now know that a major Chinese financial services firm may invest $4 billion in a Manhattan skyscraper owned by the family of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. And that Kushner's family stands to take home about $500 million for itself from the transaction.

 

All sorts of goodies are sprinkled around this potential deal, which is being circulated to attract additional investment. It would be the biggest investment -- ever -- in a single Manhattan building. Some of the Kushner family's debt on the property would get erased for about a fifth of its value. The Kushners would become equity partners with the Chinese firm, Anbang Insurance Group.

 

Best of all for the Kushners, the deal would rescue the family company from the consequences of overpaying for the building, 666 Fifth Avenue, which it purchased in 2007 for $1.8 billion. It would also buy out another prominent Trump political backer who invested in the building, Steve Roth of Vornado Realty, for 10 times his original investment.

 

“It would make business partners of Kushner Cos. and Anbang, whose murky links to the Chinese power structure have raised national security concerns over its U.S. investments,” Kocieniewski and Melby wrote.

 

That observation is made all the more pungent by the fact that Trump and China’s president, Xi Jinping, have been discussing the terms of a possible diplomatic summit meeting that may take place as early as next month.

 

Jared Kushner, whom the Kushner family claims had already sold his stake in 666 Fifth Avenue to them (though it’s not clear when), is a senior White House adviser whose purview has included foreign policy. The New York Times reported in January that Kushner spearheaded the talks with Anbang about an investment in his family’s business, that he met over dinner with Anbang’s chairman, Wu Xiaohui, to discuss the transaction about a week after his father-in-law was elected president, and that the talks had begun last July or so when Trump had already locked up the Republican nomination.

 

"A classic way you influence people is by financially helping their family," one public interest advocate told the Bloomberg reporters about the Anbang deal.

 

Well, doh! Of course that’s how it works.

I feel so bad for Russia.

 

After getting blackmail material on Trump, they rigged an entire election, all while hiding from the hard hitting main stream media figuring everything out without any proof.

 

 

And after all that, the Chinese are the ones who own Trump.

 

Bet the Russian guy who carried out the greatest covert intelligence operation ever, is getting a load of crap from his buddies in the KGB.

 

 

No chance this is fake news either.... A couple reports can easily get complete details on a business transaction, find out all the ramifications of the deal, and know the reasons why everything is being done.

 

They are college graduates after all.

Looks like Trump's Healthcare bill is looking pretty bad.

 

Stupid to try to replace Obamacare, should have just scrapped it.

 

Until costs are addressed, there is no fixing our Healthcare system.

 

And that comes down to lawyers.

 

I think killing all the lawyers is a good first step...or maybe just 95% of them to force the others to shape up.

Rachel Maddow just got Trump good.

 

She released illegally obtained tax returns from 2005 showing he only made $150m and paid almost $35m in taxes.

 

So he's not successful and never pays taxes.

 

She got him.

46% of major newspapers supported Romney

3% supported Trump

 

 

Keep telling yourselves it's the same old liberal media bias and trump isn't a once in a life time abomination.

 

Yeah there was media bias. That is why in the last week there has been articles to clam them up and not totally loose their credibility. Surprised you missed them.

 

Great article, I have included exerts from Nate Silver article There Really Was A Liberal Media Bubble a very good read.

 

And although it’s not a perfect approximation — in most newsrooms, the people who issue endorsements are not the same as the ones who do reporting — there’s reason to think that the industry was particularly out of sync with Trump. Of the major newspapers that endorsed either Clinton or Trump, only 3 percent (2 of 59) endorsed Trump. By comparison, 46 percent of newspapers to endorse either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney endorsed Romney in 2012.

 

Journalists should recalibrate themselves to be more skeptical of the consensus of their peers. That’s because a position that seems to have deep backing from the evidence may really just be a reflection from the echo chamber. You should be looking toward how much evidence there is for a particular position as opposed to how many people hold that position: Having 20 independent pieces of evidence that mostly point in the same direction might indeed reflect a powerful consensus, while having 20 like-minded people citing the same warmed-over evidence is much less powerful. Obviously this can be taken too far and in most fields, it’s foolish (and annoying) to constantly doubt the market or consensus view. But in a case like politics where the conventional wisdom can congeal so quickly — and yet has so often been wrong — a certain amount of contrarianism can go a long way.

 

I recently reread James Surowiecki’s book “The Wisdom of Crowds” which, despite its name, spends as much time contemplating the shortcomings of such wisdom as it does celebrating its successes. Surowiecki argues5 that crowds usually make good predictions when they satisfy these four conditions:

 

1. Diversity of opinion. “Each person should have private information, even if it’s just an

eccentric interpretation of the known facts.”

 

2. Independence. “People’s opinions are not determined by the opinions of those around

them.”

 

3. Decentralization. “People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.”

 

4. Aggregation. “Some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a collective

decision.”

 

Political journalism scores highly on the fourth condition, aggregation. While Surowiecki usually has something like a financial or betting market in mind when he refers to “aggregation,” the broader idea is that there’s some way for individuals to exchange their opinions instead of keeping them to themselves. And my gosh, do political journalists have a lot of ways to share their opinions with one another, whether through their columns, at major events such as the political conventions or, especially, through Twitter.

 

But those other three conditions? Political journalism fails miserably along those dimensions.

We also know that Ben Rhoades and Ned Price sat in the basement of the White House

and played the media like a fiddle through their echo chamber, Mr. Price thought it was really funny. Typical for Obama and gang subverting our democracy.

Reminds me of when Algore was defending Clinton's "Millionaire Tax" that was for those making $200k a year or more. He said slyly: If you make that much for 5 years...you're a millionaire.

 

 

It's true, the math is unassailable.

 

The logic has a few holes like paying for gas and stuff, but the MATH!

This pretty much sums up Trump's 2005 release of the 1st two pages of his taxes. It's possible that 2005 is the year where the simple info about income and taxes paid look the best for Trump.

What's more likely?

 

A billionaire who gets loans of hundreds of millions on properties and new investments is actually telling the truth about his wealth?

 

Or the left, during a deranged physic break from reality, screaming against a free and fair election, Russia, Ivanka's clothing line, a ten year old boys facial expressions, how Trump likes his steak and Trump's tweets, are right about Trump's wealth?

The top two lines of his tax returns "obtained" are those for the time-frame between season 1 and 2 of The Apprentice, and one of the 3 years of filings required for the process of legalities surrounding his immigrant wife which would have to be very clean?

 

Interestingly coincidental (partial) returns with the words "Client Copy" stamped across them those liberal hit-men stole from somewhere.

 

Watching the circus animals of this country "think" is tragicomic.
