For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the “walk.” Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!
Getting back to this. It's truly incredible Trump is blaming Democrats (!!) for his failure to get a deal made with North Korea.

It is? Have you not been paying attention? To him everything that doesn't work the way he wants is the Dems fault.

I think it's funny that the GOP thinks Cohen is a lying sleazeball, but apparently have no problem with a guy like that being Trump's right-hand man for 10 years.

You're not correctly applying the GOP Temporal Vortex & Personal Character Revisionism™ tech--Cohen is a lying sleazeball. He was a trustworthy, effective, and hard-working man with unimpeachable character until relatively recently. Those statements are not at all contradictory after applying the GOPTVPCRT.

There is, in fact, a singular moment when this incredible change of character happened. It was the moment his liability outweighed his usefulness. What a strange coincidence.

Let's all pause for a moment to consider the wailing and screaming that would have happened if, say, Hillary Clinton had set up Chelsea with $100 million in taxpayer funds for an unspecified "global women's fund". It would be truly deafening.
President Donald Trump’s 2020 budget proposal will include $100 million for a global women’s fund spearheaded by his daughter Ivanka Trump.

The White House said the budget, expected to be released Monday, will include the funding for the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative. The administration last month launched the government-wide project, which she leads.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Ivanka Trump noted that Friday was International Women’s Day and stressed the initiative was “working towards our goal of economically empowering 50 million women in developing countries by 2025.” She says the budget includes “a new $100 million commitment” for the fund.

Well unless it was headed by Chelsea.

This would be unbelievable if it weren't real:

The founder of the massage parlor where the NE Patriots' owner was busted is herself a member of Mar-a-Lago and has hobnobbed with all the Usual Suspects (which is probably where Kraft heard about the happy endings).



Oh, and this:



As many have been pointing out, those Chinese-run human-trafficking massage parlors aren't independent operations but franchises of Chinese organized crime. And if one of them has contacts with political figures, it is 100% managed by the Chinese intelligence services.

There's a running theme here but I can't quite get my hands around it. Hopefully this isn't news to Mueller either as I fully believe we're at a crossroads and if necessary, we need to burn it all to the ground to purge the corruption.

That's $2/per woman. I know there are some impoverished women out there but $2? That's giving fish, not teaching. And let's be realistic, it's probably more like $1 each after salaries and travel and whatever graft is taken off the top. Granted it's only the beginning so maybe they'll start out with 10 million women. Or just one.


I mean seriously, when a fraudulent businessman gets control of the world's largest budget, it's inevitable. But it still hurts.

CNBC
Global poverty has fallen to a record low. The World Bank says 10 percent of the world’s population lived on less than $1.90 a day in 2015, down from 11.2 percent in 2013. That means 735.9 million people lived below the poverty threshold in 2015, down from 804.2 million.
Even giving the money away on an individual basis at that rate would be a large increase on a percentage basis. Of course, I doubt any of that is sustainable.

No, see, they're working TOWARDS a goal of 50 million women.

They're starting with just one. And 100 million dollars.

That doesn't stop Fox News from calling Moore a founder!
Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore, a vocal critic of the Green New Deal, appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Monday to make the case that the sweeping plan introduced by Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., would be a disaster for mankind.

Moore warned that the implementation of the agenda being promoted by prominent Democrats, including several 2020 candidates, would lead to the “end of civilization” because of the goal of phasing out essential energy sources like coal and nuclear within 10 years.

Wiki
Patrick Albert Moore (born 1947) is a Canadian businessman, nuclear energy advocate, environmental consultant and former president of Greenpeace Canada.

After leaving Greenpeace, Moore has criticized the environmental movement for what he calls scare tactics and disinformation, saying that the environmental movement "abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism".

He has sharply and publicly differed with many policies of major environmental groups, including Greenpeace itself on other issues including forestry, biotechnology, aquaculture, and the use of chemicals for many applications. According to Greenpeace, he is "a paid spokesman for the nuclear industry, the logging industry, and genetic engineering industry" and is an outspoken proponent of nuclear energy and skeptical of human activity as the main cause for global warming. Greenpeace also stated in 2010 that Moore "exploits long-gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson."

His saving words is a sign of:

Strokes, depression, excessive long-term alcohol consumption, infections, hormonal disorders, nutritional deficiencies, brain tumors, and dementia.

Take your pick.

As someone with a mortal fear of early onset alzheimer's , the signs sure do seem strong to me and like they are coming from type A sociopath or "gaslighter" as we like to say in the 2010s, who already doesn't know how to be wrong.

He isn't saving words, though. That's just his latest lie because the first one didn't play too well.

Worse, he has no idea how to be right.

He has the world's best support network. He could literally be a hamster and make more informed decisions by eating the food placed on the yes/no mat by qualified personnel.

Every single mistake he makes is avoidable and of his own making. He could cut those in half just by hiring someone competent (not even politically competent, just not a moron) to run his Twitter account for him.

It's mind boggling.
