Corruption watch: 1) In a newly disclosed letter, Trump Int'l Hotel's GM describes a lucrative visit by travelers with the Saudi Crown Prince that boosted revenue for the entire quarter. You know, the same prince who once reportedly bragged that he had Jared Kushner “in his pocket.” 2) Ethics rules bar officials from using their official contacts to set up “nests” for their post-government lives, and Zinke's potential microbrewery was a focus of both ethics watchdogs and House Democrats politi.co/2OFPk8s 3)

Not at all surprising that the pathological liar Trump wasted tax payer dollars by establishing a fraudulent commission in order to attempt to confirm his lie. Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, one of the 11 members of the commission formed by President Trump to investigate supposed voter fraud, issued a scathing rebuke of the disbanded panel on Friday, accusing Vice Chair Kris Kobach and the White House of making false statements and saying that he had concluded that the panel had been set up to try to validate the president’s baseless claims about fraudulent votes in the 2016 election. www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/08/03/the-most-bizarre-thing-ive-ever-been-a-part-of-trump-panel-found-no-voter-fraud-ex-member-says/

I wonder what proportion of trump supporters still think that Obama was not born in the US? I hate to dig through the old threads but I wonder how many of our resident trump supporters were expressing doubt back in the day?

Birther thread : hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/19995/hoo-brotherI read through it and holy crap, was I ever wrong here, arguing that there is no need for a natural born citizen clause because the American electorate is self-selecting and would never choose someone for Commander in Chief who had divided loyalties with another nation..... hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/324201That take aged VERY VERY poorly.

Birds of a feather . . . There was no secret about Manafort’s record as an influence-peddler on behalf of corrupt dictators and oligarchs when he went to work for Trump. On April 13, 2016, Bloomberg columnist Eli Lake wrote a prescient article headlined: “Trump Just Hired His Next Scandal.” Trump couldn’t have cared less. His whole career, he has surrounded himself with sleazy characters such as the Russian-born mob associate Felix Sater, who served prison time for assault and later pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges, as well as lawyer-cum-fixer Michael Cohen, who is reportedly under investigation for a variety of possible crimes, including tax fraud. And because everyone knows what kind of person Trump is, he attracts kindred souls. Manafort and Gates are only Exhibits A and B. There is also Exhibit C: Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), the first member of Congress to endorse Trump, is facing federal charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and false statements as part of an alleged insider-trading scheme. Exhibit D is Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who has been accused by Forbes magazine, hardly an anti-Trump rag, of bilking business associates out of $120 million. (Both Collins and Ross have denied the charges.) www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/08/09/you-can-tell-who-trump-is-through-the-company-he-keeps/?utm_term=.726ec513dce5

^ In charge of minority outreach, because, ya know, well.... Her qualifications are... umm.. you know, right? Lol...
On a side note, nice for Omarosa to make it crystal clear that the both siders who claimed they cared about National Security during the election were full of it.. This entire White House is one giant national security breach. Are any national security protocols being followed in this administration? Is Omarosa secretly 007 or is this administration really this dumb and incompetent? They hand out clearances like candy. Every single day this administration shows a blatant disregard for our National Security.
We can add clumsy, and incompetent, to unethical, and corrupt, when describing this White House...
Wait till Sarah Sanders figures out who hired her and what administration allowed for this to happen....

Odd. Trump seemed fine with secret recordings in the WH when he said he may have "taped" conversations between he and James Comey as an attempt to threaten him. So fake "tapes" are fine but actual recordings are a huge problem. Got it. So fake news bad but fake tapes good. Just as he does with actual news, he should just call the real recordings fake and then they cease to be real, right?

"He had one meeting with Trump 7 times"....
Quite the scene to watch someone be so cocky, incompetent, and unprepared at the same time...
BTW did we ever find out what Putin and Trump discussed in their meeting? Or, ok, did Dan Coats (DNI) ever find out what Putin and Trump discussed that meeting?

Some pretty good work by the DEEP STATE to embed Omarosa as a contestant on The Apprentice in 2004 so that she could cozy up to Trump, maintain a business and personal relationship with him up to, including, and through his 2016 Presidential campaign, so that she could be named to a senior position on the Trump Administration, so that she could then pull the ultimate heel turn in 2018.
Savage.

Savage. Agreed. Considering she was constantly blaming others and nasty to boot, the deep state (do we capitalize fake "official" groups?) really did their homework because there's no way she should have been thought competent enough to win a game show much less be given a position in a WH administration.
