Coss Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 And more interesting behaviour: BB this is not my view, it is reporting from the Atlantic: ...nearly an hour, and with television cameras running, Trump took nearly every conceivable position in the debate: He backed a “clean†bill to extend DACA, protect the so-called “Dreamers,†and bolster border security, absent the more controversial immigration measures conservatives want; then, he said he’d “take the heat†for a more comprehensive immigration overhaul along the lines of what Trump had denounced as a candidate in 2016; later, he demanded that Congress fund the southern border wall as part of the initial DACA deal, reinserting the wrench that has held up the immigration talks for weeks.... Finally, Trump said he’d sign whatever immigration bill Congress could send him. “I’m not saying I want this or I want that. I will sign it,†he told the group. By the time the president finally kicked reporters out of the meeting, he had said yes to everyone while clarifying virtually nothing. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/trump-immigration-white-house-meeting-congress-daca/550100/ Disclaimer - nothing in this post suggests, or is intended to promote, or implies, any negative view, of the female of the human species in any way shape or form.

Coss Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 BB this is not my view, it is reporting from Politico: Trump lawyer Cohen sues Fusion GPS, BuzzFeed over Steele dossier Michael Cohen, longtime attorney for President Donald Trump, filed two defamation lawsuits Tuesday evening against research firm Fusion GPS and BuzzFeed. The Fusion GPS lawsuit, which was filed at a federal court level, seeks $100 million in damages. A separate amount in damages for the BuzzFeed lawsuit, which was filed at the state court level, will be determined at trial, according to court documents obtained by POLITICO. "Enough is enough of the #fake #RussianDossier," Cohen tweeted Tuesday. "Just filed a defamation action against @BuzzFeedNews for publishing the lie filled document on @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and me!" Fusion GPS commissioned the so-called Steele dossier, a controversial compilation of alleged ties between Trump and Russia. Compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British spy, the dossier has since been a focus of congressional probes investigating whether Russia interfered with the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. A transcript of the interview with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson by the Senate Judiciary Committee last summer was published on Tuesday. Simpson told congressional leaders that the FBI found the dossier credible because an undisclosed "human source" associated with Trump had offered the bureau corroborating information. BuzzFeed published the dossier in January 2017, noting that the allegations were unverified and the report contained errors. The dossier claims that Cohen met with Russian operatives somewhere in Europe, including Prague, to attend a meeting to “clean up the mess†created by public disclosures of other Trump associates’ reported ties to Russia. Cohen has denied that a Prague meeting occurred, saying that he has never been to the Czech Republic. In May 2017, Cohen provied a copy of his passport to BuzzFeed that showed it had been stamped for entry and exit to the United Kingdom and Italy. Cohen alleges he "sustained significant financial and reputational damages" due to the publication of the dossier on BuzzFeed's website, according to court documents in the BuzzFeed lawsuit. In addition, Cohen claims he was subjected to at least two separate Congressional investigations, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, due to the dossier being published. BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith defended the website for publishing the dossier in an op-ed in The New York Times published Tuesday night. "The dossier is, and continues to be, the subject of active investigations by Congress and intelligence agencies," BuzzFeed spokeswoman Katie Rayford. "It was presented to two successive Presidents, and has been described in detail by news outlets around the world. Its interest to the public is obvious. This is not the first time Trump's personal lawyer has attacked the free press, and we look forward to defending our First Amendment rights in court. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/09/cohen-steele-dossier-gps-buzzfeed-332747 Disclaimer - nothing in this post suggests, or is intended to promote, or implies, any negative view, of the female of the human species in any way shape or form.

Coss Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Cavanami, thank you for your videos. I am surprised that you seem to buy into them. Sad. Mind you, you could be baiting me, job well done While some of you non-USA citizens are so absorbed with putting Trump under the microscope...please check out the following video which IMO is a million times more important.... * This is a well produced piece of propaganda, that is squarely aimed at the Trump base, I would not be surprised if the Russians or similar, were behind it. It is clearly designed to get those at the lower end of the various bell curves, to vote Trump. fair enough BTW - Trump is not under a microscope (except for the various investigations he is subject to), the media coverage of Trump is wide, far ranging, international, constant and in a large part, generated by Trump himself. I only have the time, to comment on the most risible, the most ridiculous, the most obviously insane, moments, of his self publicised, train wreck in motion. What will this leak entail.... * Assange, the Prima-donna of self imolation - I have a good degree of respect, for Wikileaks, but not for Assange, who if he thought it would further his profile, would claim to be the second coming of Christ.

Coss Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 And this following - in order for this story to be refuted, to be "Fake News", or false in any way, a Trumpanzee would have to demonstrate (actually show verifiably) that Trump did not say this: Trump lauded delivery of F-52s to Norway - the planes only exist in 'Call of Duty' Donald Trump claims US sold Norway 'F-52' aircraft that doesn't exist. excerpt President Donald Trump's announcement of U.S-made F-52s fighter aircraft delivered to Norway may have rattled its neighbour Russia, the source of rising tension among NATO allies. Was it a secret advanced jet capable of beating its Russian counterparts? A ruse to fool intelligence analysts? Neither, it turns out. The F-52 is a fictional jet only available to fly if you're a gamer at the controls of "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare." Trump lauded the sale of the fictional planes alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House on Wednesday, remarking on the very real and growing defense relationship with the U.S.'s northern Europe ally. "In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets," Trump said. "We have a total of 52, and they've delivered a number of them already a little ahead of schedule."... http://www.nzherald....jectid=11973689 ___ excerpt The President claimed Norway had started receiving the first American-made “F-52s†. ​“In November, we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets,†he said.

Coss Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Those who think Trump is a great man and doing good things, are entitled to their view. But it seems that they think the world is a binary option, with Trump on one side and Hilary and Obama on the other. Because of this binary view, they really don't understand that: This is a world of some 195 countries. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine. When people who are not Residents and Citizens of the USA, deride the mess that is Trump, they do so from the point of view that they are citizens of the world and that any dolt, or fuckwit is fair game. This sport is not a binary option, if Hilary and Obama were making fools of themselves in the international media, we'd be laughing at them too. The USA is undeniably important in the context of world power. But I can tell you without pause, the sum total of the rest of the world, is bigger than the USA by a long shot. In a shoot out the USA would kill the most, but it would also lose the biggest. (grammatically crafted for the audience) Those of us who value democracy and the western view of world, would dearly like to go back to a time when the USA was a leading light and a shining example in such things. As it is - Trump has shat on the reputation of the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
