I'll never understand why the right like to lie about things so much. It's like an insult to thinking people. Like they are stupid and can't tell the truth from a lie. Fake news. A lie, smear campaign made up and spread by the far right.

Trump Accuser Targeted With TV Clip

"A clip from an old episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is being used to discredit a woman who recently accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. The clip doesn’t prove that she is a “fraud,” as the headline of a story claims".

Here's how a fringe smear targeting E. Jean Carroll reached Donald Trump Jr.

"After author and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll reported that President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., pushed a conspiracy theory that the claim was "ripped-off a plot" from a 2012 episode of NBC procedural Law & Order. Before being amplified by Trump Jr., the conspiracy theory was spread by a Twitter account associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory and another account whose content has regularly been shared by “seemingly-automated accounts.” It has also been pushed by the Daily Mail's political editor".

CNN cuts to ad break after Trump sex assault accuser E Jean Carroll calls rape ‘sexy’

I have read that link to our English newspaper, 'The Sun' and I find it very hard to believe that a woman would accept a request to pose in underwear for someone who is not her husband, let alone a man who is known for his attitude to women. I find it even harder to believe that she allowed him into the changing room (men are NOT allowed into the female changing rooms here in the UK!) and then that he had the ability to do as she claimed. She says she fought him, but surely she should have brought up her knee sharply. That would bring tears to his eyes and hopefully great pain in his groin. But no, she fought him and nobody noticed! No security cameras were in use and no staff even noticed. May that shop was very quiet that day with little or no business, but here in the UK, shops are always busy and such a thing, even without cameras, just could not happen.

And finally, why wait till now to report it? Why not report directly to the shop on the day it happened?

I'm sorry to say that, for once (this time only, I promise!) I think this lady might be in that category of people who like to try it on and see if she can get a large out of court settlement from rich Mr T. Let it go to court then, it seems there are no witnesses at all, so it seems unlikely to me that any court would believe her story.

Just my two cents worth!

For me, right now, the jury is still out. I believe it's possible that it did happen. To know what we already know about Trump and his feelings towards women. It's possible. But then again, why wait till now? Years after the fact?

Trump hasn't done jack shyt. All he has done is ride the Obama wave and claim it as his own. Another Trump lie.

Poll: Trump not boosted by strong American economy

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The solid economy is doing little to bolster support for President Donald Trump.

Americans give Trump mixed reviews for his economic stewardship despite the growth achieved during this presidency, according to a new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research".

Trump lashes out at New York’s attorney general and defends his shuttered family foundation

"President Trump attacked New York’s attorney general Monday for launching investigations into his companies and charitable foundation, which was forced to close last year.

In four successive tweets, Trump accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, of using the state’s attorney general to personally target him and his family. The president’s tweetstorm came months after Attorney General Letitia James launched a probe into the Trump Organization’s business dealings".

http://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-lashes-out-at-new-yorks-attorney-general-and-defends-his-shuttered-family-foundation-184201356.html

An investigation by The Washington Post found that Trump used the charity’s funds to pay legal settlements for private businesses, to make an illegal political donation and to buy two portraits of Trump himself for a combined $30,000. The foundation’s largest gift — $264,231 to the Central Park Conservancy in 1989 — involved the restoration of a fountain outside Trump’s Plaza Hotel. Nope, nothing wrong in Trump's land of corruption. Trump miss appropriated funds from the Trump Foundation and was forced to close it. Trump is a crook. And he always has been.

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez Says What We’re All Thinking About Ivanka Trump

"What exactly is Ivanka Trump doing? Both in general, and, most recently, at the G20 summit? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—and, likely, some other members of the American public—would love to know.

“It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification,” AOC tweeted on Saturday night, as video surfaced of the First Daughter-slash-White House-adviser standing in a gaggle of some of the world's most prominent and powerful leaders at the G20 in Osaka, Japan—including British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron—offering random hand gestures and other comments.

The exchange is hard to hear, but according to the Financial Times: “Mr. Macron made a point about social justice. Mrs. May replied that people notice when the economy is brought into it. Ivanka Trump then interrupted with a non sequitur about how the defense industry is male-dominated.” We are all International Monetary Fund Chair Christine Lagarde, who responded with a curious sideways glance".

It's amazing what you can achieve with rich parents, isn't it? Yet somehow a bartender is doing just as well. At least the bartender has a better idea of what she is doing. Almost every time one of the Trumps open their mouth, it's usually a lie or an attack on someone. Mostly lies though.

Former White House Officials Say President Trump 'Is Lying' Over Claims Obama Tried to Meet With Kim Jong Un

"Two former high-level White House officials flatly denied President Donald Trump’s claims on Sunday that President Barack Obama repeatedly sought meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

In a joint news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, President Trump claimed that his predecessor had tried to meet with Kim on multiple occasions, only to be rebuffed.

“President Obama wanted to meet, and Chairman Kim would not meet him,” the President said. “The Obama administration was begging for a meeting. They were begging for meetings constantly, and Chairman Kim would not meet with him".

An Oral History of Trump’s Bigotry

"The first quotation from Donald Trump ever to appear in The New York Times came on October 16, 1973. Trump was responding to charges filed by the Justice Department alleging racial bias at his family’s real-estate company. “They are absolutely ridiculous,” Trump said of the charges. “We have never discriminated, and we never would".

In the years since then, Trump has assembled a long record of comment on issues involving African Americans as well as Mexicans, Hispanics more broadly, Native Americans, Muslims, Jews, immigrants, women, and people with disabilities. His statements have been reflected in his behavior—from public acts (placing ads calling for the execution of five young black and Latino men accused of rape, who were later shown to be innocent) to private preferences (“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” a former employee of Trump’s Castle, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, told a writer for The New Yorker). Trump emerged as a political force owing to his full-throated embrace of “birtherism,” the false charge that the nation’s first black president, Barack Obama, was not born in the United States. His presidential campaign was fueled by nativist sentiment directed at nonwhite immigrants, and he proposed barring Muslims from entering the country. In 2016, Trump described himself to The Washington Post as “the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered".

Trump’s claim that Obama tried to meet with Kim Jong-un is a lie, say former W.H. advisers

"President Trump claimed during his historic visit to North Korea on Sunday that former President Barack Obama tried and failed to meet with North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, but former staffers have denounced that statement.

“President Obama wanted to meet and Chairman Kim would not meet him. The Obama administration was begging for a meeting. They were begging for meetings constantly and Chairman Kim would not meet with him,” Trump claimed during a press conference.

If you read the Mueller report the IRA is a Russian organization that comes onto forums and post political commentary designed to mislead.

Exposing Russia’s Effort to Sow Discord Online: The Internet Research Agency and Advertisements

"On February 16, 2018, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III indicted 13 Russian individuals and three Russian organizations for engaging in operations to interfere with U.S. political and electoral processes, including the 2016 presidential election. This was a significant step forward in exposing a surreptitious social media campaign and holding accountable those responsible for this attack. The indictment spells out in exhaustive detail the breadth and systematic nature of this conspiracy, dating back to 2014, as well as the multiple ways in which Russian actors misused online platforms to carry out their clandestine operations.

Throughout the indictment, Mueller lays out important facts about the activities of the Internet Research Agency (IRA)—the notorious Russian “troll” farm—and its operatives".

Here’s Everything The Mueller Report Says About How Russian Trolls Used Social Media

"Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign provides one of the most detailed looks at how Russia’s Internet Research Agency — the infamous Kremlin-linked troll farm — tried to hijack the 2016 election and swing the vote in favor of Donald Trump".

Russia worked hard to recruit social media users to campaign for Trump

"We already knew that the Internet Research Agency (IRA), which is essentially a farm of bots and trolls, exposed 126 million Americans on Facebook to Russian-backed propaganda during the 2016 US presidential election. But today's release of the redacted Mueller report has shed light on new details, including the great lengths the IRA went to in using social media to provoke social discord in the US. The report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, titled "The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election," highlights how the IRA created thousands of accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Tumblr to create posts in "support for the Trump Campaign and opposition to candidate [Hillary] Clinton".

'Baby Trump' blimp appears grounded for July 4 protest during president's DC celebration

"WASHINGTON – The "Baby Trump" blimp is grounded – for now.

"The permit...does did not allow the balloon to be filled with any helium, only air, and the permit is not in the location we requested – within line of sight of the Lincoln Memorial where President Trump will be speaking," wrote CODEPINK in a press release.

Trump, once again trying to act like a little dictator wannabe instead of a "president". But then again, it's hard to act like an "elected" official when in reality you're not. For the most part, our gov has always tried to keep our military capabilities on the down low.

We've never been a country that displayed our military might. We always left that up to the dictators of the world. We made them "guess" about what we have. Trump, being the little dictator wannabe that he is, he wants to act like other dictators by showing our military might.

Which is another stupid idea. I'm sure, within reason, many of these little countries know to a point what we have. But at the same time, our president shouldn't be flaunting anything we do have to the other dictators of the world. It's just stupid. It's like saying, "Look at what we have". Now that you see it maybe you can copy it. Just, dumb.

The U.S. is 'headed to fascism,' says Ocasio-Cortez after touring of detention facilities at the southern border

"EL PASO, Texas — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the conditions at U.S. migrant detention facilities “horrifying” in an interview Monday evening and doubled down on her comparisons of the situation at the border to World War II.

“Are we headed to fascism? Yes. I don’t think there’s a question,” the congresswoman told Yahoo News hours after she toured the detention facilities run by Customs and Border Protection. “If you actually take the time to study, and to look at the steps, and to see how government transforms under authoritarian regimes, and look at the political decisions and patterns of this president, the answer is yes".

"Last month Ocasio-Cortez sparked controversy when she described the migrant detention facilities as “concentration camps on our southern border.” Her comment drew an immediate backlash from critics who accused her of trivializing Nazi concentration camps, while others, including some Holocaust survivors and scholars, said the comparison was a valid one.

The freshman Democratic lawmaker from New York refused to back down from that comparison, and in her conversation with Yahoo News, Ocasio-Cortez argued that many things about President Trump echo that dark period in history".

Trump's July 4: Patriotic or self-promoting?

"Critics argue that Trump is putting himself at the center of the celebration, making the event more about him than Americans as a whole. Others are concerned the celebration will serve as a de facto Trump campaign rally — a major change from what has traditionally been a nonpartisan occasion where previous presidents kept a lower profile. Making politically aimed remarks at the event may even be illegal, some say".

http://news.yahoo.com/trumps-july-4-patriotic-or-selfpromoting-212050277.html

Will Trump talk about how great he and his administration is and all of their great accomplishments, if he does, then it is a campaign rally at our expense. I hope he can rise to the occasion and refrain from self-aggrandizing?

But, it sounds like I want all the military chiefs to salute me....me...me...me...it is all about me...me...me...the Fourth of July will be renamed Trump's Parade Day...me...me...me...your best favorite Nobel prized stable genius MAGA Grand Wizard freewheeling President ever...and ever!

The US president has said a display of US military tanks will be part of the “Salute to America” event he is headlining in Washington on Thursday.

There is also expected to be a military demonstration by the US Navy Blue Angels and other aircraft.

Mr. Trump has asked the chiefs for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines stand next to him as aircraft from each of their branches of the military fly overhead, the New York Times reports.

The event is likely to raise concerns over Mr. Trump’s desire to parade US military forces through the streets of the capital in a similar manner to authoritarian regimes such as North Korea, Iran, and China".

Trump defends the cost of having tanks and military planes at his July 4 celebration

"On the eve of his planned July 4 celebration in Washington, D.C., President Trump pushed back against criticism over the amount of money it is costing American taxpayers.

According to the Washington Post, the National Park Service is “diverting nearly $2.5 million in entrance and recreation fees primarily intended to improve parks across the country to cover costs.” The White House has refused to disclose the actual cost of the event".

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-defends-cost-of-having-tanks-and-military-planes-at-his-july-4-celebration-154239011.html

Trump takes money from the military to build a wall. Trump takes money from the park service to have a campaign rally. Trump robs from Peter to pay Paul, Trump spends over 100 million to play golf, he will bankrupt this Country to satisfy his own ego. Get ready people the great recession will seem like recess compared to the crash Trump is bringing.

Where does Trump get the authority to unilaterally pluck $2.5 million for Parks & Services for his campaign rally? Can he then take any amount from a gov't agency he wants, whenever he wants for whatever reason he wants? The money was to improve our nation's parks not fund a Trump military and self-promotion show.

Trump tries to defend the cost of having tanks and military planes at his July 4 celebration. Hard to defend 22 trillion and climbing debt.

While once again trying to hide what he's doing from the American public. By refusing to disclose the total amount it's going to cost the taxpayer, he is thumbing his nose at us. Fu#$ you American taxpayer. You are going to pay for my parade whether you like it or not. This 4th is all about "ME!"

The U.S. Supreme Court last Thursday blocked Trump’s plan to add the citizenship question, saying administration officials had given a “contrived” rationale.

Administration officials including Ross said on Tuesday that the census forms were being printed without the citizenship question".

AOC accuses Trump of provoking border crisis to ‘squeeze out money for a wall’

“He creates a political moment where he can squeeze out money for a wall,” said Ocasio-Cortez, who is also known as AOC. “The reason that he does this is to create this outrage and to say we need more money".

I've said it before, and I will say it again. It seemed odd to me that all this border mess started almost to the day Trump took office. No problems, no more than normal. Until he stepped in. And it's been deep shyt ever since. And getting deeper by the day.

NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS aqnd CNN all refused to broadcast the national 4th of July celebration only because President Trump showed up to give a speech. No it was not political. These networks have shown themselves very low in how they've misled the country but this was a new low. Yet, several of the 20 democratic candidates appeared at celebrations and they were nationally recognized on the networks.

Even parts of their speeches were broadcast. Those who hate the President probably feel good about this. However, it displays just how biased our national networks are: only display one parties candidates while making disparaging innuendoes about out nationally elected President.

... and they can't understand why Americans do not trust the national news networks? Actually they are upset because they are use to controlling what side of a story is broadcast and yet claim to be balanced. Even their own polls tell them American's do not trust them.
