These weekend trips to Mar-A-Lago, profiteering? Who is joining? Who has access? All the employees there...do they all have a security clearance?
supposedly he was having national security discussions with Abe at the dinner table with guests present. if classified intelligence was discussed openly.............
(CNN)The iceberg wedge salads, dripping with blue cheese dressing, had just been served on the terrace of Mar-a-Lago Saturday when the call to President Donald Trump came in: North Korea had launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile, its first challenge to international rules since Trump was sworn in three weeks ago.
The launch, which wasn't expected, presented Trump with one of the first breaking national security incidents of his presidency. It also noisily disrupted what was meant to be an easygoing weekend of high-level male bonding with the more sobering aspects of global diplomacy.
Sitting alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with whom he'd spent most of the day golfing, Trump took the call on a mobile phone at his table, which was set squarely in the middle of the private club's dining area.
As Mar-a-Lago's wealthy members looked on from their tables, and with a keyboard player crooning in the background, Trump and Abe's evening meal quickly morphed into a strategy session, the decision-making on full view to fellow diners, who described it in detail to CNN.
On Saturday evening, as the two men walked through Mar-a-Lago's ornate wrought-iron doors on their way to dinner, neither responded to questions about the launch from reporters.
Swanning through the club's living room and main dining area alongside Abe, Trump was -- as is now typical -- swarmed with paying members, who now view dinner at the club as an opportunity for a few seconds of face time with the new President.
But as he sat down for the planned working dinner with Abe, whose country is well within range of North Korea's missiles, it was clear his counterpart felt it necessary to respond to the test. The launch occurred just before 8 a.m. on Sunday morning in Japan.
Trump's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and chief strategist Steve Bannon left their seats to huddle closer to Trump as documents were produced and phone calls were placed to officials in Washington and Tokyo.
The patio was lit only with candles and moonlight, so aides used the camera lights on their phones to help the stone-faced Trump and Abe read through the documents.
Even as a flurry of advisers and translators descended upon the table carrying papers and phones for their bosses to consult, dinner itself proceeded apace. Waiters cleared the wedge salads and brought along the main course as Trump and Abe continued consulting with aides.
Eventually Trump and Abe, along with their collection of aides, stood and moved from the dining terrace and toward a marble-trimmed ballroom, whose gilded columns were concealed by more sober-looking black drapes.

Just thought I'd revisit this thread....OK...can we impeach him now

Regardless of the intent by Trump as detailed in Mueller's Report, the base and GOP enablers in Congress will fall in line and be good little soldiers and parrot Trump's lines referencing the democrat prosecutors bias on the Mueller Team, etc.
My goodness - look how many of Trump's inner circle worked with the Russians and lied about it. What has the presidency come to? And the people's Congress willing to turn their head along with a lackey Attorney General whose words have been disputed by Mueller's Report.
Unless enough of the GOP in Congress step up and show they have values & guts, impeachment is an exercise in futility.

So true...everyday since he's been in office I will never understand why anyone would protect that vile disgusting person...I'd would have throw his azz under the bus so long ago it would have made his head swim....and how I would love to be his truth teller everyday...I'd love to let him know the truth and watch him explode....and I'd laugh in his face as he did...everyday
Trump and is his supporters are the most insecure people in the history of our country.
God, I know! I'd feel a lot more secure if the government could just fork over my guaranteed Universal Income already. I have no confidence in myself or my abilities, and shouldn't have to compete in the workplace anymore.
And I need the government to pay my debts for me while they're at it.

Here you are feeling the need to announce to us all that you earned your own income, have confidence in your own abilities, compete in the workplace, and pay your debts. Instead of thinking rationally about what is being proposed, you took the opportunity to pat yourself on the back for what you have done. Why? Because you earned those things on your own, it angers you that others are getting help with it? That's not someone who is at peace with their situation.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, just make life free for everyone, similar to the Democrats proposal of free College. Don’t want to work? The Democrats will make it their priority to come to the rescue, because well , white privelage....
Lindsey Graham said the Democrats will try to impeach him, he also said Pelosi was NOT in charge of them, but he said any impeachment proceedings would have "a hard time" getting through (pr passed by the Senate), so if one house passes them and the other doesn't, it probably goes nowhere.

Somebody is envious of receiving help.

About that particular poster? No, not at all.
The only thing i feel the slightest bit apprehensive about now day to day is the difficulty in hiring. I need good workers badly. The supply of jobs svailable is outstripping the supply of labor and good csndidates.
So much for the economy crashing if Trump gets elected.
With the debt rising at record rates, who knows?
I was at a financial planner meeting tonight. The Cleveland fed has the chance of a recession at over 30%..... whenever it goes that high, the recession typically is -5 to 8 months from then ...... it's coming.....

I'm waiting for it too Sang...just because it is overdue if nothing else. But periods of expansion don't just die of old age. So what if, let me know if anyone mentioned this at your meeting, what if countries around the globe can pick up their own sluggish economies with fiscal stimulus plans? If global economies grow, won't the US be a beneficiary of that which could in turn prolong our own expansion?

Just consider the source

That was not mentioned. Germany and Japan are still in the negative on 10-year bonds - but international and emerging markets are still cheap compared to the US, and are expected to have higher earnings than the US this year - the US blew everyone away last year in earnings because of the tax cuts - 24% - but this year they expect 3%, with international and emerging around 6%.
Damn, no evidence. Someone should have kept his blue dress after his private meeting with Vladmir.
Not a fan of the impeachment route. I'd rather see him get voted out. Being a one-term President would say everything there is to say.

It’s hard to find good American workers? Shocking! What’s the solution?
Gee that noted leftist from Fox Judge Nap thinks there is something there.

Interesting article, but Napolitano is a hardcore Libertarian so whatever.
Is the distraught girl supposed to represent Robert Mueller?
I don't know, but the shrink could be Putin. Hell the meme itself could be generated by the ongoing Russian cyber psy-op.

I guess they also didn't read about the destruction of evidence that took place and what do supporters think of 12 points of obstruction of justice and the biggest question will always be if there was nothing going on why did so many people lie??
Seems Judge Napalitano thinks there's plenty along with one of his original member of his transition team and again why would anyone protect that vile disgusting azz

A hammer, a cell phone, bleach bit and the POTUS on speed dial is why you dont get charged.
A hammer and a sickle is why you don't get charged.
Mueller has spoken
Mueller has written a letter objecting to Barr’s summary of his report because it “did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation.”

Another lackey with loyalty to Russian Don is exposed for deception & lies. Anybody surprised? Good thing Trump drained the swamp in DC.
