All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Scot Dutchy]

Trump is really playing dictator with his federal guards. What the fuck is he doing. Unmarked vans taking the people away? Just sending them in where he chooses. Man the USA is really fucked. A dictator in charge?

He's be tweeting, "I've always said masks were a good idea in the right circumstances," but the weekend.

'Report: Donald Trump tried to get British government to hold British Open at his Scotland resort'

President Donald Trump reportedly tried, and failed, to get his Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland to host the British Open, according to The New York Times.

Trump reportedly asked Robert Wood Johnson, the American ambassador to Britain, to “see if the British government could help steer” the iconic golf tournament — one of the four major championships each season — to his course in Scotland in 2018.

Johnson reportedly “raised the idea” of the course hosting the tournament to Scotland secretary of state David Mundell, too, despite warnings from his deputy that “it would be an unethical use of the presidency for private gain.”

Mundell declined to tell The New York Times what he and Johnson — a Trump donor and the owner of the New York Jets — discussed. A statement from the British government said that Johnson “made no request of Mr. Mundell regarding the British Open or any other sporting event.”

Mundell’s deputy, Lewis Lukens, was reportedly left “deeply unsettled” by the request. Lukens emailed State Department officials about the request, per the report, but was later forced out of his position. Lukens had previously served as the acting ambassador to Britain and as the ambassador to Senegal.

Mary Trump on her Uncle Donald: ‘I used to feel compassion for him. That became impossible’

She is a psychologist who used to deny being related to Donald – now she has written an explosive bestseller about him. She discusses his racism, incompetence, cruelty and why he never laughs

The conclusion is very telling:

“He’s an adult human being who knows the difference between right and wrong, even though he doesn’t think the rules apply to him. He knows what he’s doing and one of the reasons we’re in this position is because he’s never been held accountable for anything. So his transgressions become more egregious over time and he needs to be held to account.”

The man who needs to flush 15 times moves on to dishwashing, though he has never seen one:

Part of a July 16th speech on “Rolling Back Regulations to Help All Americans.”


Dishwashers — you didn’t have any water, so you — the people that do the dishes — you press it, and it goes again, and you do it again and again. So you might as well give them the water because you’ll end up using less water. So we made it so dishwashers now have a lot more water. And in many places — in most places of the country, water is not a problem. They don’t know what to do with it. It’s called “rain.” They don’t have a problem."

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign released a new Facebook ad with an image of a group of protesters attacking a police officer alongside the words "public safety vs chaos & violence."
But that photo is actually from a pro-democracy protest in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2014. The photographer, Mstyslav Chernov, confirmed to Business Insider that it is his photo from six years ago.

I'm sure most people whose feed that popped up on went straight to Business Insider to check if it was #FAKEIMAGES or not.

Not likely any nondisclosure deal will hold, as Cohen was the only co-conspirator to go to jail.

Trump got extra points!

Describing the memory recall portion of the test, Trump said he was asked to repeat the words “person, woman, man, camera, TV,” prompting him to act out the whole thing.
