Dream on. Why did Trump bring it up? Just happened to occur to him? This from a prez who thinks the AG should be his personal lawyer, his Roy Cohn. It was like the line by Al Pacino as Michael concerning Fredo in Godfather II, “I don’t want anything to happen to my brother while our mother is still alive.” The intent of the comment was clear. Trump trying to intimidate Cohen. Michael suggesting his brother is to be killed.
Debate and obsession are two different things, unless you're a liberal Trump hater. You are obsessed. Trump lives in your head.
Trump is the President of the United States. It doesn't say much for what's living in anyone's head if he or she doesn't know that, or if he or she comes to a board with the name "Debate Politics" and expresses surprise that the President of the United States is discussed on the board every day.
This doesn't sound like the board for you. You may want to find a board where politics isn't discussed if it offends you that people discuss President Trump.
that's not at all like what Trump said. Trump didn't threaten anyone. He never said something bad would happen to anyone's business. Trump lives in your head.
Discuss Trump all you want. Getting your feelings out is good therapy. Not as good as real therapy, but few here can probably afford that. If ranting on Trump here on the discussion board prevents you from going postal at work then I'm all for it. So let it out, buttercup. Snowflakes need an outlet. Consider Debate Politics a safe space. As Frazer Crane says; I'm listening......
Why would he bring it up, especially shortly after the news breaks Cohen may testify to Congress? I honestly think you do know he was trying to influence Cohen (cannot bring myself to believe anyone is this ignorant), and you are just being an ultra-loyalist.
Because politics is hardball, especially where Trump is concerned. Anything goes.
The deep state and other liberals do their best to intimidate, fabricate and threaten Trump every chance they get. The guy fights back. Good to see him take a few swings. Batter up, buttercup.
You’re right, anything goes with Trump, including breaking the law. Thanks for confirming my point.
The “deep state.” Define it.
Where did you come up with the above
Anything goes on BOTH sides, including breaking the law.
Until they run into Mueller.
So America's Lawyer (HA!) Rudy Giuliani said Trump's threat to Michael Cohen's father-in-law was not obstruction of justice. Obstruction of justice is defined: an act that "corruptly or by threat or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice."
No one can argue Trump was trying to influence Cohen's potential testimony to Congress with this threat. This alone should be bringing about impeachment.
You mean the Democrats gofer boy? He's a Democrat and his staff are all Democrats.
Just give it up and move on to more productive thinking.
Those un-elected and their elected puppets with power and influence seeking to control politics. George Soros, the Koch brothers, etc. And more who don't make any headlines.
Mueller a Democrat? Get yourself out of the echo chamber, it will do you some good.
Don’t the Soroos’s and the Koch’s balance each other out a bit? Is this something like the Illuminati? Seriously, the answer is to get money out of politics. But since we have decided that money not only talks, but it should decide, it seems like we are lost.
Does power and corruption ever balance out? Or does it simply make puppets out of ALL elected officials, and by extension all of us? Obama surrounded himself with Wall Street types. So has Trump. Bankers run the SEC. Is there a deep state? Of course there is. Whenever an institution (govt) gets so large and involved in the smallest details of everyday life, there is going to be an urge to control that power.
150 years ago the average person probably couldn't tell you what the federal government actually did, besides having an army and maybe building a road here and there. Their lives were influenced by local politics, taxed by local politics,and somewhat by state politics. But since the Civil War federalism has grown to such an extent that the national government is highly influential in every aspect of everyday life. So now national politics is of prime IMPORTANCE. Everybody can see they have a big stake in selecting their national rulers. Because now those nationally elected officials, and their civil service bureaucracy are their rulers. You want, no... desperately need, to be ruled by powers favorable to your needs. You will NEVER get the money out of such a system.
I thought he was an independent until I saw the team he assembled; full of Democrats, and not just Democrats, but even some big Democrat donor Democrats.
You're probably right in a larger sense, but the Supreme Court decision was ridiculous, suggesting that I can go one on one with some corporation or labor union. Control on donations can help things.
Local is always better, but my theory is that people looked to the Feds when locals denied their rights, the first, biggest example of this (in reverse) is what happened in the South post reconstruction, as rights were lost when the Feds pulled out. Local is almost always better. But if Mississippi won't allow you to vote, if local troops shoot you when you go on strike, if you are paid less for the same work and the state doesn't care, if you are locked in a factory and it catches fire, if your rivers are polluted and state inspectors are nowhere to be found, you look to DC to get involved in the details of your life. Most people don't care which fire department shows up when their house is burning. And of course, some who cry deep state think holding people without charging them and waterboarding is all right. Kafka is in the eye of the beholder.
