Sentencing delayed, how come Cohen is a 'rat' (yup spanky used that word to describe a witness) but Flynn was badly treated?, did Putin tell Spanky not to badmouth his chum Flynn.

Talking about "shame to spoil a good story with the truth"

This despite Flynn himself disagreed with that argument in court today, telling the judge he knew it was illegal to make false statements to the FBI.

Ooooh, struck a raw nerve, did I? That's definitely worth making the effort to dole out some red rep. Well done.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, hypocrite.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump's current attorney in the Russia investigation, told CNN on Sunday that "there was a letter of intent to go forward [Trump Tower, Moscow], but no one signed it."

CNN's Chris Cuomo obtained a copy of the signed letter of intent dated Oct. 28, 2015, which bears Trump's signature. It is also signed by the owner of the Russian firm that would have developed the property.

Copy of letter here.

I do not know how other nations can negotiate with Trump and his team when they tell one lie after another

Drain that swamp, Donny boy.

Him spending $10,000 of his charity's money on a painting of himself at his golf club must be the most Trump thing that has ever happened.

The most Trump thing is that he survives unmarked after incidents that would have destroyed any other President. Allegedly taking charitable contributions and using the money as a private slush fund is as deep in the swamp as you can sink.

You earned it, it was far from the first time. Be reminded of the forum rules.

If you want to chat with me, use PMs. Nobody else is interested in your petty little issues.

Same.
Must be why you keep posting in public. Riiiight.


But don't worry, I won't reply any more to you petty Tüpflischiisserei.

Can't you settle it like real men. On Twitter.

Better still, get a room.

FTFY

You would imagine that with all the vast resources available to the Trump administration they could write policies that would survive their first challenge in a courtroom?

Or even better with a GOP Congress and President that they would have simply passed new laws so avoiding future legal challenges.
Now the House has a Dem majority they have squandered that opportunity.

Meanwhile Trump has apparently backed down on his Govt. shutdown and instead given Federal employees an extra holiday on Christmas Eve.
Chaos in the White House? What chaos?

There is also a long series of tweets from Trump complaining about the closure of the Trump foundation. NY Attorney General Underwood said "“Mr. Trump used charitable assets to pay off the legal obligations of entities he controlled, to promote Trump hotels, to purchase personal items, and to support his presidential election campaign.”

Trump continued his attack on the "corrupt Clinton Foundation" without offering any evidence.

There is an interesting Freudian based theory that people accuse others of faults that they themselves have which might explain his attacks on the "corrupt Clinton Foundation"?

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised interest rates for the fourth time this year, defying President Trump who has protested the bank's policies.

The Fed did not have much choice. Trump attacked them so many times that any other decision would have looked like folding to political pressure.

The Dow which had finally climbed over 24,000 today immediately fell over 300 points.

Meanwhile Trump decided to pull US troops out of Syria so leaving influence in the Middle East to Russia and Iran.

Yesterday
Today
So ISIS was defeated yesterday but today are still fighting?

I believe Spanky lost the plot halfway through this sentence? "Time for others to finally fight Russia, Iran, Syria & many others are not happy about the U.S. leaving........"

Punctuation, punctuation, punctuation

He ran out of space so he removed that useless full stop. What was that stupid dot trying to achieve anyway, you can not stop Trump.

Excellent opportunity for the EU army to show what it's capable of.

Trump posted Russia are not happy about US leaving Syria despite

Curious how many people live in Trump's alternative world, for example, 34% of adults believe North Korea has done more to end its nuclear weapons program in the past six months than in the previous 25 years.

Despite the N. Koreans themselves Interesting statistics about how many Americans believe other lies.
