You think that Mueller is a Trump/GOP Plant???

Now that is one hell of a leap...

Trump has taken over the GOP, remember they did not want him, tried to derail his chances.
Look again at Mueller and Trumps top people?

Taken over the GOP, are you for real? One of the most powerful organisations on the planet, they're playing him perfectly, and will move him along when they seem fit.

Trump baits the media , the media go hard on the “Mueller investigation must not be hindered in any way, it must get to the truth no matter what”
How many US lawmakers(the swamp) have dual US and Israel citizenship?

Trump derangement syndrome has left people unable to see what is happening

"Trump derangement syndrome". Quite.

Great to see the man do worse (or as he would say worsely) as time goes on. Hopefully the mid terms are strongly anti trump.

Who says trump is worth billions?

This is the man who wouldn’t allow his tax returns to be public. Due to fear of ridicule.

Allegedly - The facts are that had he just taken the Money his father left him and given it to a fund manager he'd have more money today than he actually does (not what he claims to have btw - what multiple sources are saying he has, which is something in the 2-3B range).

Again , nothing in his Business career indicates that he's any kind of deep thinker..

He's a very smart media operator I'll give him that , but Machiavellian?? , not a chance!

That's the 3rd or 4th time you've said that and I'm pretty sure that no one here has any clue what you are suggesting here?

They are all Republicans (or at least claim to be) , Is there something else that no one but you seems to see?

You don't have to when your father bails you out and you file bankruptcy several times.

Nothing whatsoever. Mueller is from central casting. He served his country(unlike trump), he's the only person bar hoover to be FBI director more than ten years(ten years is the limit). He isn't lying openly to the american people like their president has done over 3,000 times in 500 days.

You are missing the point that whenever the media has something wrong it is because they hate America and whenever Trump has something wrong and never corrects it it is because he is playing the media and all his true supporters know which bits to believe (which so happen to coincide to their own beliefs). I mean obviously.

Just so high a level that silly liberals can't see what is going on. And even if he has repeatedly defrauded the American taxpayer (and he has) hate the game not the player right?

Have I covered all the bases for this particular username?

So CNN is reporting that during a phone call between trump and the Canadian prime minister, trump is supposed to have asked "you guys Burnt down the White House didn't you ?"the phone call was about the tarrifs btw I mean for Christ sake lads I'm not even American and I know it wasn't Canada it was the British during the war of 1812. Canada wasn't even a country until 1867(they celebrated 150 years last year) I mean how is a us president apparently this wilfully ignorant on history ? On his own country's history and history of the building he calls home ?

Presumably Trudeau responded in kind. Something along the lines of "Yeah, but you cheated on your pregnant wife by shagging a porn star while cheating on the porn star by shagging a model."

I'm betting he will angle towards some variation of "Jewish conspiracy" at some point.

A Moral turpitude themed "Top Trumps" featuring the Donald would be a winner for Christmas 2018.

US President Donald Trump appears to mumble the words to 'God Bless America' at an impromptu “Celebration of America” ceremony which was held at the White House on Tuesday.

Trump begins with a strong start by singing along to the patriotic song, but then after the first few lines he appears to struggle with the words. As military officials bellow out the words behind him, Donald Trump switches between a mix of singing and bobbing his head when he appears to have trouble remembering the trickier lines. People have taken to social media to question if the Trump actually knows the lyrics.

Classy!

Another good news story coming from the Oval office this morning, 
DT has pardoned Alice Johnson, for whom Kim Kardashian had campaigned on behalf off. 
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/06/trump-pardons-alice-marie-johnson-kim-kardashian-west-plea/

Kim in fairness to her has vowed to continue this work of prison reform, her twitter stmts were very balanced , giving thanks to DT and Jared Kushner who has also taken on prison reform (given his father was a fed felon, its a cause he knows about). Perhaps there may be more pardons to follow, driven by Kim Kardashians campaigning. 
Remember KK has 60 million twitter followers, 60 million followers all getting the same upbeat news about DT. 
Perhaps the sum of all these small but real victories is why Trumps rating among black American males is on the up. 
Reuters polling has him trending upwards ..https://polling.reuters.com/#!response/CP3_2/type/month/filters/SC_RACE:2/dates/20180101-20180601/collapsed/true ;

And with the black American unemployment rate hitting an all time low .. maybe that trend will continue 
heres an analysis from Bloomberg, whihc gives both pro and cons on that number. Seems a fairly balanced piece, both sides of the coin represented. 
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-05-04/black-unemployment-is-at-an-all-time-low-but-there-s-a-catch

And in other good economic news , the Nasdaq touches a new record high , 
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/06/reuters-america-us-stocks-snapshot-wall-st-opens-higher-nasdaq-ticks-to-another-record.html
And US Trade Deficit hit a 7 month low , The trade gap  dropped 2.1% to $46.2 billion, the smallest since September

Care to flesh out some of the points above without links or text dump's?

Or can you..

Leroy42

it was surely never envisaged that the pardon power was to be used for such mundane cases. obv not for the individual concerned but are people really happy with a POTUS that will get directly involved depending on access to him?
Has Trump decision anything to do with the recent support from Kanye and the tweets from Kim, basically he will do whatever you want if you offer him something?
will Trump now look to get involved in all drug cases, is he trying to suggest that all 1st time offenders should be given a pardon?
and surely people can see how easily Trump was bought by Kim on this issue and why would people not think that Trump is happy to be bought over other issues?
Personally, I have a major problem with the whole issue of pardons, it allows one person to override the laws of the land for no reason

Totally agree.

I read recently that usually Presidential pardons are vetted by a committee before they are brought to the President for the actual signing of the pardon.

There have obviously been exceptions to that in the past - Bush Jr and Clinton both pardoned people personally in the latter days of their Presidencies (Scooter Libby for one) , but Trump is the first to pardon people so early in his tenure , he's also never spoken to the Pardon Committee for any of them.

Serious action on large numbers of people (like Obama) does not generate as much sympathy. Individual stories like these or Carrier do. Of course now the US justice system is dependent on the number of retweets you can get so there is that.

I thought people were sick of celebrities giving political opinion? Or does it depend on their opinion?

Mass releases won't happen with Trump though. The prison system makes too much money and remember prisoners are the loop hole in the slave laws (and this is something neither side has touched to my knowledge).

Edit: that last bit is more anti American law as opposed to anti Trump. I have no issue with this particular release. More with the fact that it was done for retweets as opposed to a wider policy that could have a larger effect.

Leroy42

Also, only recently Trump was calling for the death penalty for drug dealers, yet he pardoned this woman who was convicted of conspiracy to sell cocaine.  He has given no reason why (not that he has to) but one would hope he had a specific reason such as old law, exceptional circumstances etc.
There can't be any other reason for the pardon except for he did it do court celebrity.  Kim comes in waving her Twitter followers around, Kanye does some PR guff and voila Trump just happens to decide that he will do what they want.
How any of his supporters can welcome this, yet at the same time claim that there is no suspicion that he would sell out to Putin is beyond me.  The man basically defines pay-for-play

Captain Obvious

It's great that Trump is listening to people like Sylvester Stallone and Kim Kardashian when it comes to making big decisions. That's the kind of president you want. One that's as easily influenced as a 12 year old boy.

How is Donald getting on eliminating the national debt? He said he could do it in eight years, so only six more to go. His experience as a great business man is obviously paying off... that is why US national debt has increased by 1.2 trillion dollars since he has been in office. The US national debt is at a record breaking all time high!! 21.2 trillion dollars. Super job Donald!

Just before I opened up Boards I saw a TV interview piece by Rudy while he is/was in Israel and the clip referencing forcing Kim to his hands and knees was part of the interview. Rudy was saying that the way Israel should treat the Palestinian Authority was the way the US treated Kim, get them on their hands and knees begging.

Ref the way Don is handling the pardoning of convicted federal felons, it's possible that he is trying to outdo the record of pardons given set by other presidents, maybe in particular his predecessor as he seem's to want to break all of Barak Obama's presidential actions. Put it down to his fascination with Barak's actions in office, him seeing them as wins.

No he is trying to show potential witnesses that he can pardon whoever he wants so they don't need to worry about obstruction charges. He is throwing in the odd chartiable pardon as a kind of buffer. You don't agree with my friend being pardoned? You must also want that great grandmother to rot in jail.
