No collusion!No collusion!No collusion!
China China China!
same old ding dong every day.
But the Republicans actually do not back him on China. Yet they cannot say anything for fear of being replaced by a Trump Republican in 2020 run.
No collusion!

And the disagreements weren't just behind closed doors.

"They were having fights in front of the Chinese delegation, which is like a cardinal sin of negotiating," says Susan Thornton, former acting assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs.

The BEST deal! The BEST negotiator! THE GREATEST!!!

I haven't accepted that others actually believe any of that. They just like Trump because we hate him so much.

Fuck you Trump! Democrats will not do anything for you. To you, yes. Prosecute you!

Impeach the motherfucker, then! There is nothing we can do about his base at any point. Impeach later, and we look like wimps.

He needs to be reelected and hope people forget about the Meuller report by 2024.

Really though, I doubt he'll be prosecuted once he's out of office. Unless, maybe, James Comey's the Attorney General.

I would love to see the House vote impeachment. Then the Senate conducts a trial. Wonder what the result would be?

Basically, from all I read, the US has never been more polarised and more emotional in its tribal politics than it is now...

Them white working classes hate us because they think college educated liberals "get something" from the government. They don't know what, and they don't even need that something. They just want a bucket of chicken, like Trump, and a Bud Light to go with it. So they can eat it and watch Nascar.


Why anyone needs to watch cars going around the same track over and over, beats me.

Well, there was that little dust up that took place in the 1860s...

[JimC]

OK, in the last 100 years then...

Actually, the civil rights era got pretty crazy. The Trump era may very well be third though...

Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... taxes.html

By the time his master-of-the-universe memoir “Trump: The Art of the Deal” hit bookstores in 1987, Donald J. Trump was already in deep financial distress, losing tens of millions of dollars on troubled business deals, according to previously unrevealed figures from his federal income tax returns.

Mr. Trump was propelled to the presidency, in part, by a self-spun narrative of business success and of setbacks triumphantly overcome. He has attributed his first run of reversals and bankruptcies to the recession that took hold in 1990. But 10 years of tax information obtained by The New York Times paints a different, and far bleaker, picture of his deal-making abilities and financial condition.

The data — printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, for the years 1985 to 1994 — represents the fullest and most detailed look to date at the president’s taxes, information he has kept from public view. Though the information does not cover the tax years at the center of an escalating battle between the Trump administration and Congress, it traces the most tumultuous chapter in a long business career — an era of fevered acquisition and spectacular collapse.

The numbers show that in 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade.

In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, The Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.

Over all, Mr. Trump lost so much money that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years. It is not known whether the I.R.S. later required changes after audits.
