Why did Trump and his team think they could pull this kind of stuff and get away with it?


Did Trump think he had the intelligence agencies heads on his side?

Or because he has gotten away with anything over the years he just thought his streak would continue? A bunch of group-think from a bunch of over privileged rich ass holes?

What is your best guess? What is the motive of the Russian connection? Does Trump have a business deal?

WATCHRep. Adam Schiff accuses FBI director of withholding Russia information from lawmakers
With news swirling about Attorney General Jeff Sessions' contacts with Russian officials before the 2016 election, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee today accused FBI Director James Comey of withholding information about any agency investigation into Russian tampering with the 2016 election.

"In order for us to do our investigation in a thorough and credible way, we're going to need the FBI to fully cooperate... to fully tell us the length and breadth of any counterintelligence investigations they are conducting," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, told reporters after emerging from a classified meeting with Comey. "At this point the director was not willing to do that."

Schiff said Comey declined to answer questions about the "scope" and subjects of any counterintelligence investigation.

"He made it very clear there were certain questions that we were asking that he would answer and others that he would not," he said. "We can't do a complete job unless the director is willing to discuss anything they are investigating."

Why don't major executive orders get run through the courts first before they are implemented?

So Trump is going to do another revised "Muslim ban". The first one was a fucking mess! All kinds of good people had no idea what they were headed into and it turned out to be in-constitutional. So can he just put out another piece of shit, fuck up a bunch of lives and then have it possibly get turned over again? Not sure the founders thought this through completely or we just have a fucking idiot not using common sense and perhaps himself checking with the courts first.

American's For Prosperity Attacking Trump's Mexico Wall Tax

This was posted by one of my Trump LOVING Facebook friends. I had to point out that it was Trump's idea. Notice they make no mention of Trump's wall in the video:

I don't believe Yiannopoulos was ever molested he made it up and now is using it for sympathy

When I first listened to his interview with Joe Rogan where he is bragging about having sex with the priest it sounded fake and made up. Typical shock jock BS. Rogan kept asking about it and then it sounded like he freaked out because he didn't want the father to get into trouble because it probably NEVER happened. So he is bragging about how he seduced this priest and acting like he conquered him even though he was younger and then suddenly when everything comes crashing down he SUDDENLY becomes the victim! Poor Yiannopoulos! NOW he is throwing the father under the bus! Now the story is how fucked up he is and after he was molested he got into drugs and his life went all to hell! Interesting how now that there isn't a book deal he doesn't give a FUCK about bringing down a priest who probably never did anything to him in the first place. He is nothing but a spoiled little brat, shock jock with zero morals. I don't believe ANYTHING he says!
