Trump again claims he would consider foreign help for his campaign — Los Angeles Times

Y’know what he’s doing??
He’s prepping a good percentage of the population of the idea.
So they’re so numb, by the time it’s proven
They’re like, “So”???

That’s his whole tactic
Deny
Distract
Delay
Disperse

The obvious becomes oblivious

The sad part, is the lack of memory and complacency of the public.

Pay attention
Remember
Ask
Watch
Vote

But I guess that’s too hard
And Mr T feeds on that...and wins.

BTW, all those Congress issues (aka politicians) you have a problem with...
You’re voting them in,
Again & again

You have an issue? Many should look in a mirror.

New York Times: US ramping up cyber attacks on Russia - CNNPolitics

Except the truth is even worse. I don't remember the IC or DOD ever attacking a foreign country before without informing the President or knowing that he would be supportive, even if he needed to have plausible deniability by being left in the dark. Maybe the VP was informed and approved it or something. But they did it because they think Trump would have told Russia about it first or tried to stop them. That is just crazy.

Trump is kicking off his 2020 campaign in Orlando tonight and today, the Orlando Sentinel endorsed "not Donald Trump" in a scathing editorial pointing out "the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies," over the last two and a half years were enough to decide than any other candidate would be better than Trump.

Our Orlando Sentinel endorsement for president in 2020: Not Donald Trump | Editorial

Donald Trump is in Orlando to announce the kickoff of his re-election campaign.

We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump.

Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent.

Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump.

After 2½ years we’ve seen enough.

Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self- aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies.

So many lies — from white lies to whoppers — told out of ignorance, laziness, recklessness, expediency or opportunity.

Trump’s capacity for lying isn’t the surprise here, though the frequency is.

It’s the tolerance so many Americans have for it.

There was a time when even a single lie — a phony college degree, a bogus work history — would doom a politician’s career.

Not so for Trump, who claimed in 2017 that he lost the popular vote because millions of people voted illegally (they didn’t). In 2018 he said North Korea was no longer a nuclear threat (it is). And in 2019 he said windmills cause cancer (they don’t). Just last week he claimed the media fabricated unfavorable results from his campaign’s internal polling (it didn’t).

According to a Washington Post database, the president has tallied more than 10,000 lies since he took office.

Trump’s successful assault on truth is the great casualty of this presidency, followed closely by his war on decency.

Trump insults political opponents and national heroes alike with middle-school taunts. He demonstrates no capacity for empathy or remorse. He misuses his office to punish opponents, as when he recently called for a boycott of AT&T to get even with his least favorite media outlet, CNN. He tears down institutions, once airily suggesting the U.S. should try having a leader for life as China now allows. He seems incapable of learning a lesson, telling an ABC interviewer last week — just two months after Robert Mueller’s report on election interference was released — that he would accept dirt on an opponent from Russia or China.

Trump has diminished our standing in the world. He reneges on deals, attacks allies and embraces enemies.

This nation must never forget that humiliating public moment in Helsinki in 2018 when the president of the United States chose to accept Vladimir Putin’s denials of Russian interference in the 2016 election over the unanimous assessment of the American intelligence community.

Such a betrayal by a U.S. president would have been the unforgivable political sin in normal times.

As if that’s not enough, Trump declares his love for North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, a genuine villain who starves and enslaves his people and executes his enemies with antiaircraft guns and flamethrowers.

But he wrote the president a “beautiful letter.” Flattery will get you everywhere with this president, and that’s dangerous.

Domestically, the president’s signature issue — immigration — has moved in fits and starts. Happily, he abandoned pursuing an outright — and unconstitutional — ban on Muslims entering the U.S., opting instead to restrict travel for people from a handful of nations, most of them majority Muslim.

He’s tried separating families, sending troops to the border and declaring a national emergency. For all of that, illegal border crossings are, as the president himself calls it, at crisis levels.

He blames House Democrats because casting blame is Trump’s forte. But Republicans controlled the House and the Senate for two full years. That seemed like an ideal time to fix what the president believes ails our immigration laws.

Even with Democrats now controlling the House, where is Trump’s much- touted deal-making mojo, an attribute he campaigned on?

“But the economy!”

Yes, the market has done well since Trump’s election.

The S&P 500 was up about 21% between Trump’s inauguration and May 31 of his third year in office. Under President Obama, it was up about 56% in that same period.

Unemployment is headed down, as it was during seven straight years under Obama.

Wages are up, and that’s a welcome change. But GDP increases so far are no better than some periods under Obama. Deficit spending under Obama was far too high, in part because of the stimulus needed to dig out of the Great Recession. Under Trump, it’s still headed in the wrong direction, once again pushing $1 trillion even though the economy is healthy.

Trump seems to care nothing about the deficit and the national debt, which once breathed life into the Tea Party.

Through all of this, Trump’s base remains loyal. Sadly, the truest words Trump might ever have spoken was when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose his supporters.

This non-endorsement isn’t defaulting to whomever the Democrats choose. This newspaper has a history of presidential appointments favoring Republicans starting in the mid-20th century. Except for Lyndon Johnson in 1964, the Sentinel backed Republican presidential nominees from 1952 through 2004, when we recommended John Kerry over another four years of George W. Bush.

As recently as 2012 we recommended Republican Mitt Romney because of what seemed at the time to be Obama’s failure to adequately manage the nation’s finances.

If — however unlikely — a Republican like Romney, now a senator from Utah, or former Ohio Gov. John Kasich successfully primaried the president, we would eagerly give them a look. Same if an independent candidate mounted a legitimate campaign.

We’d even consider backing Trump if, say, he found the proverbial cure for cancer or — about as likely — changed the essence of who he is (he won’t).

The nation must endure another 1½ years of Trump. But it needn’t suffer another four beyond that.

The best explanation for Trump’s presidency: He’s acting like a real estate developer

A good explanation, if any.
So basically he's a troll landlord or in some cases a slumlord.

They have LAWS against that, yknow.
You only have to enforce them.
Otherwise, the cockroaches keep thriving (and I'm not talking about damn bugs...)

My real question IS why Congress isn’t doing anything about it???

ASU2003 · Jul 2, 2019

I'm wondering if Ivanka will run for President in 2024. I worry that any Trumpian candidate with a clean past and who would rather screw over the other political party quietly is going to be a big problem. Both in campaigning against Ivanka, Nikki Haley, or Joni Ernst, or in governing if they win. Plus, you take away some of the female support from the Democrats. I'm thinking that some of the demographic shift will have happened by 2024, but I don't think it is a given that a Republican can't win.

Liberals, as a rule, eat their young.
Pelosi showed that when she told the Squad to sit down and shut up.
The old folks will throw the kids overboard if they rock the boat.

They did it during civil rights and Vietnam.
What pisses me off is they even walked away from the labor unions.
I'll stick with the younguns they are usually on the right side of history.

And if his first racist tweets were pulling the Democrats back on track, these are the capper.

Trump demands apology from Democratic congresswomen he attacked in racist diatribe

"President Donald Trump is refusing to back down from his racist tweetstorm in which he told four Democratic congresswomen of color—all of whom are American citizens, with only one born outside of the United States—to “go back” to the countries from which they came. Instead, he ratcheted up his attack on Monday by asserting that the congresswomen owe him an apology."
