Taxpayers billed $1,092 for an official’s two-night stay at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club http://wapo.st/2y3C9VB?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.6f1d24fea7ca … @drewharwell @amyjbrittain

i believe I asked you if there was any government spending you would willing to cut (other than defense)... and you said... "No"

So I suspect you are not bothered by this

saw the movie didn't need to read the book
Read the review
gotcha


and through what filter did you see her speak ?
who chose which snippet you saw?
Who wrote the critique?

That is my point, it is all "canned " it is all echo chamber

Did you see this week that many of the "corrupt Hillary" stories were actually Russian plants in Facebook and Twitter
Many of the BernieBots on the internet are Russian plants
Trumps $25M settlement over Trump U is in the court record

What do you want me to say? I just don't find her own analysis why she lost all that interesting. I have gathered enough of her perspective from the dozens of interviews she's given on the subject.

I wish her the very best for the rest of her life. It can't be easy for her (especially her) to accept that history will remember her life for this one "Falcons 28, Pats 3" moment.

I have seen a lot of commentary this past week on HRC book. Would bet a dollar against a do nut no one here has yet read the book , lots of opinions
non conversational or complimentary.

Can I ask, the origin of these excerpts and opinions ?
Because without reading the book, how does one judge the content.

Conclusion I come to is, either those commenting are fulla **** or they were --- how did Hawk put it ----- "canned responses"

Do you need to read a Trump book to know he is a piece of ****? I am sure Hilldogs book is well written.She has plenty of free time now. She is still a joke. Even if she won she would still be the least popular incoming president since Lincoln. Have you read her book? If she covers the part where polls showed her 20+points ahead of Bernie in the Michigan primary and still lost, then I will read it. Or maybe the part where Bernie beats Trump by 12 points and her campaign/DNC's "Only Hillary can win so everyone else needs to STFU and get in line" mantra becomes the biggest historical mistake since Hitler invaded Russia. Does she talk anything about all those things Putin supposedly did would have had little affect on Bernie? No emails. No wall street bribes. Certainly a lot harder to paint Bernie as corrupt as it was Hillary. What kind of twilight zone would we be in if Russia engaged in a propaganda campaign against a socialist candidate in America? Bernie's economic policies would arguably be worse than anything Trump will do so maybe Putin supports Bernie.

I just find it unfortunate people have an opinion on a book they haven't read. Be it any one of HRC's books, Moby Dick or Art of the Deal

Opinion of a book or her? I think it's the latter for most people.

Trump's amazing strategy.

Announce he's getting rid of something.
People get upset his supporters get happy.
He quietly agrees to renege on getting rid of something.
His support base gets furious for him flip flopping.
Media reports it.
He calls it fake news and says it's a lie.
Support base is reassured and agrees it's fake news.

Another week and more violence perpetrated by militant islamists.

I miss when we had a president who taught constitutional law instead of one who retweeted pictures of a train with a hat on it

The post with the golfing GIF on Sunday was just one of several eclectic tweets that Mr. Trump sent, hours before his trip to New York, where he will address global leaders.

Such an embarrassment. That gif will probably be the most talked about thing at the U.N. meeting.

Looks like Trump tower was tapped

Given the FISA surveillance order against Manafort and the fact he has a residence in Trump tower, it could well be that his communications from said residence was tapped.

To me the most interesting part of the article is this:

The conversations between Manafort and Trump continued after the President took office, long after the FBI investigation into Manafort was publicly known, the sources told CNN. They went on until lawyers for the President and Manafort insisted that they stop, according to the sources.

It seems that Manafort might be Mueller's most important potential witness.

[thethe]

Well it's put up or shut up time because manafort will be indicted soon. Unless of course perpetual investigation is what the left wants.

Man...when illegals start shouting Pelosi down you have to wonder if anything other than blanket amnesty will suffice.

the wheels of justice grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine

i think you will find that most lawyers who have experience in complex white collar crime cases will tell you that Mueller is proceeding at remarkable speed

Not many if any prosecutors have the means that Mueller and his team have. Listen, if there is concrete evidence that Trump colluded I want to know. However, the only thing we have heard is flimsy at best while people have been bearing the drum that Trump aND his campaign clearly colluded.

Like you, I just want to know and move on.

If by that you mean that Trump Tower resident Paul Manafort was subject to surveillance dating back to 2014, then yeah, you right.

If you mean it in the Trumpian "Obama had my wires tapped" sense, then yeah, you wrong.

[Julio3000]

It looks like that, during the campaign, at least 3 members of the Trump campaign were being investigated or were under surveillance for improper contacts or financial relationships with foreign governments--that's before any campaign collusion investigations even began.

That's a hard one to wave away.

Everything that should be investigated but in reality if you're dealing with a collection of wealthy individual, some of which have political dealings, don't you think 'improper' financial transactions will be somewhat common?
