johnu Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I confess I have underestimated Dennison. Watch the speech - then donate to Trump! President's campaign turns Oval Office address into money raising effort Just when I thought he was in decline, Dennison turns the clock back and flashes as the world's greatest con man. There was speculation he might declare a national emergency on the Mexican border in his 9 minute press event that was covered by the national TV networks in prime time. Instead, the national TV networks were conned into providing millions of dollars of advertising to promote Dennison's appearance, and disrupted expensive prime time network programming to cover the political rally, which turned out to be a short version of his Dennison 2020 campaign rally speech that he has routinely given since he was inaugurated. Turns out this was mostly a fundraising stunt by a phenomenal con man. Before the TV appearance, Dennison's campaign committee sent out a fundraising email.'The American people are demanding Democrats finally put America First and BUILD THE WALL....but Chuck and Nancy simply won't listen,' the donation page reads. 'That's why I want to do something so HUGE, even Democrats and the Fake News won't be able to ignore,' Trump writes. 'We need to raise $500,000 in ONE DAY.' 'Get on the 'Official Secure the Border Fund' list my team sends me' after the speech, Trump encourages people. The appeal went out via text and email. The email pleads with people to donate $5 by 9 p.m., which is when Trump's speech starts. It's not too late to donate to Dennison's campaign fund as the deadline was extended after the speech. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonm Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 NO Collusion. On January 6, 2017, the U.S. intelligence community issued a report that showed there were two campaigns to elect Donald Trump: one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. Trump and many of his senior advisors and close associates have repeatedly denied any connections between the two campaigns, despite the fact that they were working towards the same goal, at the same time, and utilizing the same tactics. Yet over the past year, we’ve learned about a series of meetings and contacts between individuals linked to the Russian government and Trump’s campaign and transition team. In total, we have learned of 101 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia linked operatives, including at least 28 meetings. And we know that at least 28 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisors were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them. Why were there so many meetings? What was discussed in them? More importantly, why did Trump and his camp lie about them, including to federal law enforcement? What are they hiding? Well, OK, maybe a little....

Winstonm Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 When Fox News breaks rank, you are in trouble: It was revealed Tuesday that Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort shared polling data with a Russian operative, according to a poorly redacted legal filing by his attorneys. “This shows that Bob Mueller can demonstrate to a court without the testimony of Paul Manafort that the campaign had a connection to Russian intelligence and the connection involved information going from the campaign to the Russians,” Napolitano said. “The question is, was this in return for a promise of something from the Russians, and did the candidate, now the president, know about it?” “Collusion isn’t a crime, but this would be considered collusion?” Smith asked. “The crime is the conspiracy, the agreement. Collusion is a nonlegal term,” Napolitano said. “I know, but if there’s collusion, giving stuff to the Russians about polling data [would count],” Smith said. “Yeah, that would probably fit into the category,” Napolitano responded. “This event, which has been outlined in these court papers, occurred during the campaign.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 One of Dennison's early supporters and a possible source for Dennison's obsession with a wall Stunning Steve King builds wall in Congress Steve King asks how terms 'white nationalist' and 'white supremacist' became offensive “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King asked in an interview with The New York Times published on Thursday.In 2018, he also defended his association with a far-right Austrian group with links to the Nazi Party and hard-line views on immigration. “If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King told The Washington Post last October.Good to know. I was a worried that Austrian nazis would immigrate to the US and join the Democratic party. King dismissed his critics in November as "uninformed," saying, "if you attack someone and you don’t cite anything, you’re just a cannibal."How has this brilliancy not become the catchphrase of Dennison?

Winstonm Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 It just dawned on me how the shutdown could be halted.

johnu Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Forget Concrete, Let’s Build A Steel Wall Instead I'm disappointed in Dennison. A steel wall...Steel???

New Photo Shows Steel Border Wall Prototype Can Be Breached With Saw Dennison has promised that Mexico will ban the sale of metal saw blades and will pay for any damage to the wall. Added:We Had to Elect the Dumbest Guy Available Not even the second dumbest.This is something said by the President* of the United States on Thursday. They say a wall is medieval, well so is a wheel.

Winstonm Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Members of the conservative small-government, anti-tax Freedom Caucus are having second thoughts about Donald Trump’s suggestion that he may declare a national state of emergency to get his border wall built — fearing it could blow up in Republican faces. Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) said, “I do see the potential for national emergencies being used for every single thing that we face in the future where we can’t reach an agreement. That’s the slippery slope that I’m concerned about,” he explained.... When Mark Meadows and the Freedom Caucus are the adult supervision, you know you are deep into a looking glass shite storm.

AOC and Chuck Grassley? The sad part is that I doubt Individual-1 is concerned about whether or not he should declare an emergency but when such a declaration would get Yuge Ratings! Edit: Dumbass-in-chief has a new take: President Trump Individual-1 said Friday he has no immediate plans to declare a national emergency in order to fund the construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border—and instead urged Democrats to vote on the issue. “What we’re not looking to do right now is a national emergency,” Trump Individual-1 said in a White House meeting on border security. He then called a national emergency an “easy solution.” “I’m not going to do it so fast,” he added. He went on tv and declared a crisis - but now there is no crisis. I mean, seriously, is there anybody out there - die-hard supporters included - who won't finally admit that this clown is a total dumbass?

Winstonm Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well worth reading as followup to the previous link https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-if-obstruction-was-collusion-new-york-timess-latest-bombshell I read this article, too, and it enlightened me to a number of issues of which I was ignorant. As to the original Times article, I keep coming back to the same question: why now? Obviously, from the sourcing quoted this information has been closely held for 1 1/2 years - yet someone(s) decided now was the time to leak it. Why? I am wondering if the leak was OKed by Mueller as a way to prepare goundwork for information that may well read like a novel. Knowing the difficulty of getting the report out with Whitacker and Barr and a Republican Senate, it might make sense if he had decided to leak selected material that would make it near impossible to hide the substance of the final report. I also think the response from the WH is especially revealing as no direct refutation has been made, only the president repeating his ridiculous noise about this liar and that Democrat.

Here is CNNs statament:“We called several local stations to book someone for a show. We didn’t end up booking any of them. That happens many times every single day. We did, however, book a reporter from KUSI for a story on immigration and the border wall in November. This is a non story” So they called KUSIKUSI told the wall worksThey did not book KUSI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do border walls work? If you ignore the fact that ladders let people climb over them, saws and drills let people go through them, shovels let people go under them, they work great. Of course, they don't stop people who enter the country illegally in ships, trucks, cars, planes, or those who enter legally with a visa and then overstay.

Trump has concealed details of his face-to-face encounters with Putin from senior officials in administration Apparently Dennison doesn't trust his own staff and cabinet to know if he is committing treason in plain sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
