never has there been a president, with few exceptions

 

huh?

 

 

I have known several ego maniacs, but nothing like this. The other thing that amazes me is the people willing to play this game. If Trump ever goes down, this thing needs to be played over again, and all these morons need to be held accountable.

So, how badly does the intelligence community revolt if Trump fires Mueller?

 

That's the "the government is no longer legitimate" point I think, assuming Congressional Republicans continue to not do anything about the corruption and abuse of power.

I guess the big warning sign is when traditional allies align with China...because the US is just way too unpredictable and it's extremely difficult to discern from week to week who's actually calling the shots.

 

Kim Jong Eun/Rodman seem comparatively more stable.

Marc Kasowitz, President Trump’s lawyer in the Russia investigation, has bragged he was behind the firing of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

 

Marc Kasowitz, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia investigation, has boasted to friends and colleagues that he played a central role in the firing of Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, according to four people familiar with the conversations.

 

Kasowitz told Trump, “This guy is going to get you,” according to a person familiar with Kasowitz’s account.

Trump had a full cabinet meeting today wherein he went around the room and asked every Cabinet member to praise him and what a good job he's done.

Schumer made a response

I saw someone make the comparison (on Twitter probably) to the Twilight Zone episode, It's a Good Life.

That cabinet meeting was really something. How empty does a person's soul have to be, that need fill it with forced praise from others even after being elected the leader of the free f***ing world?

 

And lol at firing Mueller, that would go so badly for Trump. And I think he knows that. They'd rather, and will, try to undermine him but keep him there anyway.

Russian Cyber Hacks on U.S. Electoral System Far Wider Than Previously Known

 

Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.

 

In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

 

The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step -- complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.” In October, two of the people said, the White House contacted the Kremlin on the back channel to offer detailed documents of what it said was Russia’s role in election meddling and to warn that the attacks risked setting off a broader conflict.

 

Illinois Database

 

Illinois, which was among the states that gave the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security almost full access to investigate its systems, provides a window into the hackers’ successes and failures.

 

In early July 2016, a contractor who works two or three days a week at the state board of elections detected unauthorized data leaving the network, according to Ken Menzel, general counsel for the Illinois board of elections. The hackers had gained access to the state’s voter database, which contained information such as names, dates of birth, genders, driver’s licenses and partial Social Security numbers on 15 million people, half of whom were active voters. As many as 90,000 records were ultimately compromised.

 

But even if the entire database had been deleted, it might not have affected the election, according to Menzel. Counties upload records to the state, not the other way around, and no data moves from the database back to the counties, which run the elections. The hackers had no way of knowing that when they attacked the state database, Menzel said.

 

The state does, however, process online voter registration applications that are sent to the counties for approval, Menzel said. When voters are added to the county rolls, that information is then sent back to the state and added to the central database. This process, which is common across states, does present an opportunity for attackers to manipulate records at their inception.

I am too lazy to look through the thread, but where are the President Trump cheerleaders at with what's going on at the moment?

In the Facebook comments sections of every single news article that is shared talking about winning.

Unanimous decision from the Warriors to skip the White House visit

 

FAKE NEWS!!!

 

I bet the Warriors don't go, but this appears to be 2017 internet reporting at its best. One person tweets it and everyone jumps on it like it's official news. Less than 12 hours after winning the title, I bet they are all still drinking or too passed out to have even had a vote yet.

Trump hits a new record, 60% disapproval rating from Gallup. Trump's 60% disapproval rating is higher than anything Gallup *ever* recorded for FDR, Ike, JFK, LBJ, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Obama.

 

He's managed to do this with 4.5% unemployment and no major domestic or international crisis.

 

Incredible.
