JCon Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 ...Giuliani said in a statement Friday that "any suggestion — from any source — that the President counselled Michael Cohen to lie is categorically false." Source: CBC So, is the over-under on this 2 weeks before Giuliani is on TV saying that it's not a crime for a sitting President to direct someone to lie to Congress? Tracker 1

The Unknown Poster Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 It sure if this has been posted yet. What a disgusting dispicable irresponsible thing to say. Sole reason is to rile up his racist base. It’s horrible Tracker 1
do or die Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Mexicans facing Allah 4 times a day? Unreal. For that matter, just need to go into urban areas and arrest anyone with a rug, just for safety sake. But leave the Christians....

Trump is practicing the gesture of the empty hand- wherein something "big" is promised with great fanfare and then when nothing materializes, it is hoped that the hype will be remembered rather than the lie. Its worked for him with his rabid base so far.
bustamente Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Looks like the Buzzfeed piece was not very accurate, although Buzzfeed seems to be standing by the story. Edited January 19, 2019 by bustamente

NBC News reported Ken Dilanian pointed out: “To be clear: Mueller is not disputing that Cohen says Trump told him to lie. He’s disputing the line about corroborating evidence taken from Trump Org emails, texts, etc. Still a huge deal. But not a total refutation. In fact, Cohen’s 11/30 memo says Trump directed him to lie.”

The Unknown Poster Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Dems don’t like trump’s offer and neither does his base. He’s putting himself in no mans land.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 I’m assuming the strategy is that trump thinks it makes the shutdown the Dems’ now if they won’t negotiate his offer. And will get them dems base to apply pressure to get DACA. but I don’t think that will work. It’s trumps base that will turn. Trump just offered a concession that Dems will keep now. It’s like in sports when you offer to keep a salary cap and the league knows you’re desperate the accept that part but won’t budge on others. Trunp blinked. The great negotiator.
bustamente Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Republican's new talking point, nobody who voted for Trump really believed that the Mexicans were going to pay for the wall
The Unknown Poster Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 The hits are coming fast and furious lately. Rudy moving the goal posts yet again.
bustamente Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 One of these days they will come and say "yes Trump did everything he is accused of doing, so what he is above the law" and then you'll hear "doesn't matter because Trump has proclaimed himself President for life" 😀 Tracker and The Unknown Poster 2

That bill checks a lot of boxes voter-wise, though.

That bill checks a lot of boxes voter-wise, though. I dont disagree and I think the Dems should not over-think it. Dont buy into the idea Clinton ran a bad campaign. She didn't. She had so much working against her and still would have won. They need to run a clean, but aggressive campaign on the issues that people care about. Get all the left and moderates votes and they win easily. Obama was criticized for lack of experience and he won. Trump has no experience at all (although that might be an argument in favour of experience lol) Wideleft 1
17to85 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Democrats need an exciting candidate, and a fresher face probably helps more than a tired old establishment face like Clinton was.
