If you take away Trump's access to the media, remove his ability to start wars, and take away his cell phone and computer so he can't tweet, he's not really a threat to anyone.

The ideal punishment for John Donald would be to imprison him in a cell that overlooks a golf course he's never allowed to use.

This is only an opinion, but I think he has been told to stop the tweets, and also to stop putting down Hillary. It is not good for his image, or good for the country. Attacking someone about something that has already been investigated extensively is just plain .."stupid."

Here is the question most people ask, "Why is he attacking Hillary at all? He won the election what is the point?"

And the conclusion is..(as seen by most observers, but not his deep rooted base) He, (Trump) is covering up something..........

You don't need to be a lawyer to see that. You need to be a fair minded person of either party, or no party to see that. I believe more and more people see that. It is so clear to all. The election is over and so is the Hillary investigation. Why even bring it up? What is the point?.. The answer is simple, "To always attack, never accept any responsibility...attack the opponent, change the subject to something else, never admit to anything, and it is someone else's fault...One more: "NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING..."

Why that last one? If you don't apologize for anything, you never admit to doing something wrong...

(that's all folks)...

Was that the batch of emails that had Weiner's emails on it? Tied to it, or whatever?

What could have been that "bad" on Hillary's emails? Was she making fun of Donny?

NY Times: Giuliani and Trump discussed potential fallout of a Manafort pardon



By Sophie Tatum, CNN

Updated 10:44 PM ET, Wed August 22, 2018

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani have talked about the potential political repercussions of pardoning former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Giuliani told the Times that pardoning Manafort, who on Tuesday was found guilty on eight of 18 financial crimes, was not something the President was considering.
........................................


When asked by Fox News Wednesday about whether he was considering pardoning Manafort, Trump skirted the question.
"I have great respect for what he's done in terms of what he's gone through," he said, before going on to mention other Republicans Manafort had worked for.

He added that he believes Manafort is being unfairly punished for what he thinks are common activities.

"And I would say what he did, some of the charges they threw against him, every consultant, every lobbyist in Washington probably does," Trump said. "If you look at Hillary Clinton's person, you take a look at the people that worked for Hillary Clinton, I mean look at the crimes that Clinton did, with the emails and she deletes 33,000 emails after she gets a subpoena from Congress and this Justice Department does nothing about it? And all of the other crimes that they've done.".......

obsessed with her. She has been nothing but a GOP punching bag for years but it's getting old and tiresome and it's just not working anymore. Bottom line: It doesn't matter what Hillary has done.

He is as guilty as sin and he is going down with most of his administration and family. He can whine all he wants about Hillary. It isn't going to change the fact that he is the most corrupt motherfucker to have ever occupied the Oval Office.
