    but he said his healthcare plan will give the best healthcare to everyone

    and we see that wasn't even close to being true with what just passed the house


    but i would love for him to come out for that. i have said, if he did just a fraction of the things he said he would do he could win over people that hated him

    but it's like he is determined to be the mindless piece of **** we all knew him to be

    The lawyers who claim Trump received no income from Russia work at the 2016 Russia Law Firm of the Year
    12:51 p.m. ET

    President Trump's lawyers released a letter Friday concluding that Trump received no "income of any type from Russian sources" based on a review of his tax returns, which the lawyers did not release. Thus, aside from the exceptions the lawyers noted (the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, a property sold to a billionaire for $95 million), we have to take their word for it.

    One last thought, though: The law firm that confirmed Trump's limited business interests in Russia was named "Russia Law Firm of the Year" in 2016.


    This is not the only work Morgan, Lewis & Bockius have done for the president: The law firm has also been helping advise Trump on potential business conflicts of interest. Okay

    Since the Comey camp is already telling tales, I think we know all we need to know about that threat.

    Yeah. SCOTUS is the pinnacle of his profession. And it's a lifetime term compared to FBIDir.

    That's the nature of these things. But it is actually ... something.

    On the other hand, what Eric Trump purportedly said on a golf course 4 years ago is much more compelling.

    Well, being FBI Director wouldn't preclude him from being considered for a role on the court.

    Having worked at bigtime country clubs the last 8 years... I've probably heard the expression "If you want to get to know someone, play a few rounds of golf with them". Perhaps what he said on the golf course was just him relaxed and letting loose?

    I personally subscribe to the, "If you want to get to know someone, get them drunk" philosophy.

    Welp, on these country club courses there's plenty of alcohol, weed, and coke to go around with the money thrown away. I've seen some really hilarious stuff, so wouldn't surprise me at all if it was both.

    Well, I'm not going to suggest that it is.

    So, this is . . . something. I'd just rather see the returns...and a reasonable accounting of the beneficial ownership of LLCs and shell companies that are buying and selling.

    I have no idea. Trump's behavior makes it less likely, IMO, that the straight-shooting civil servant types will have anything to do with his crowd. Putting the just-fired FBI Director on Twitter blast is just the most recent example.

    Lifetime appointment to CCA vs. "Until the President Doubts My Personal Loyalty" appointment to FBI. It's tempting.
