HeadSet says

Did not vet him well enough.

Judging from the array of retards, grifters & thieves Trump has hired he has a very strange vetting process. Basically if you have only said nice things about him or at least nothing negative, you are hired. And yes, a campaign contribution greases the wheels.

Are these judges all going back to their countries of origin?

OccasionalCortex says

They still are. POTUS after Trump will most likely be a globohomo fluffer just like all the presidents before Trump (both parties).

Ya, I expect they will say some junk like "It's time to reverse the raycist immigration system changes enacted by the previous administration, and move towards a system designed with diversity and inclusion!"

They had to instruct these judges that they couldn't declare math lllegal.

No, but they can and will declare math to be RACIST!

OccasionalCortex says

Viktor Pinchuk

My recollection is that Pinchuk is an equal opportunity purchaser of US politicians. A few yrs before Trump was elected, Pinchuk paid off some Trump-linked foundation for Trump to appear in some Pinchuk-advertising video in Ukraine.

Tim Aurora says

And how is calling Bolton to testify is hypocrisy.

It's not. Its merely irrelevant unless he knows something we dont already know. We will probably find out, as he will probably testify.

Bolton's credibility is already in the crapper because of this. Who is stupid enough to take a bribe for a piddling $115,000, when there are easy millions to pick up? What a Hershey Bar Whore.

Tim Aurora says

He is still a neocon warmonger.

Yes, and noone has been more consistent about this than Trump supporters.

I'm not sure how you'd expect Trump to personally vet every hire. It's not feasible.

At least half of all power players in washington are tainted, maybe more. Once Trump brings in these tainted people and sees they are part of the problem, he axes them. This is, like, what a good POTUS does. He should fire quickly and often, as has always been Trumps style.

Your critique of expected behavior sounds more like orange man bad than legit criticism.

Now you are a craftsman blaming your tools. . He has not been able to get along with outsiders such as Scaramucci, Tillerson etc. In fact if he cannot vet people correctly that many times, he does not deserve to be a leader. This administration has been a circus act with Trump dropping the balls and the Trumptards blaming the balls and not the handler.

The fact that you think you can make that determination through the willful misrepresentation of the fake news media shows lack of real world judgement.

Similarly, look at what has been thrown at Trump. The deep state manipulators are pulling every string possible. Slimeballs like Manafort represent the always available string to pull. Washington runs on blackmail, and the deep state has dirt on everyone. The resulting firings and turnover is to be expected.

Instead of allowing your perspective to be manipulated, look at empirical data. No new wars, old wars coming to an end, far better trade deals, fake news media system about to break, and a record booming economy. Trump is doing a fantastic job, best POTUS of my lifetime for sure

Trump hasn't spent his entire life in politics like everyone else. Of course he is going to have problem recruiting experienced folks to navigate the massive bureaucracy since he didn't have existing relationships sucking at the tit of DC government for decades.

Remember, very few people expected him to win in 2016 (including me - and probably Trump). So there were not alot of old hands willing to hitch their wagons to Trump's campaign to assist with the transition. I think Jeff Sessions was the only real Republican establishment guy teamed up with Trump during the campaign and first year in office.

Secondly, the Democrats (and some Republicans) put huge delays on Trump's appointments.

Even the hacks at Politifact have to call it "half true"

And I find it hilarious how uninformed Democrats are.
They keep calling all of these deep state hacks Trump's people.
When Trump's list of people were all professional people in their fields. He wasn't bringing in any Washington inside people. Look how many NSA, CIA and DOJ staffers from Obama's and Bush's administration was to him to pick from. McMaster's brought in the Whistle Blower Cameria who had been working on setting up Trump since 2015 after Trump first announced his Presidential bid, and put Washington on Notice.

Tim Aurora says

He was vilified as a War monger . That has nothing against his credibility.

Huh? By labeling someone a "warmonger" you basically imply that his assessment of the threat and the need of military action to mitigate it is not credible. Words have meanings.

When Trump fires your sorry ass, you become the darling of the captive LibbyFuck Industrial Publishing Complex, already familiar with dense bribery schemes.

Bolton in 2010: I Would ‘Say Something I Knew Was False to Protect American National Security’

Tim Aurora says

Faux news and corrupt right wing media has made right wingers more stupider then ever.

Well that wraps that up in a nice bundle.... lol.

What fight with Iran? Who is Iran fighting?
On a trajectory path, what new deficits can be absolutely attributed to Trump? (This is one area I feel he's lacking)
More people = more problems. That's the problem of POTUS? It's a quantity problem, not a per capita problem. Green/Environmentalist need to understand this.
Name me an honest politician? Just one.
The economy is always falling in someone's lap. What's your point?
Worst POTUS in 100 years? There's not anyone alive that can literally judge a POTUS from at most 80 years ago. More likely 60 years ago.

As usual, pretty sure I'm on ignore with Tim. So I don't expect an answer to any of this.

Tim Aurora says

Unnecessary fight with Iran

Maybe. Thus far Trump has done far more to bring peace than Obama and Bush Jr for sure. This is undeniable fact.

Tim Aurora says

ballooning deficits

Probably out of the control of any POTUS at this point, but at least you found a valid criticism. Wars started by Bush Jr and Obama, as well as ballooning medical spending from Obamacare are the top culprits.

Tim Aurora says

lax on environment, Russian ass kisser and the pathological liar.

...and now you've fallen completely into CNN propaganda land.

Tim Aurora says

The good economy fell in his lap. Worst president in the last 100 years for sure.

That's some serious orange man bad logic.

I believe Tim must be employed by a Democrat organization. There’s no way anyone can be this obtuse unless they are being paid to be.

Are we sure that Barr wasn't just some janitor who wandered into to the Oval Office and convinced Trump he was qualified to be AG?

Tim Aurora says

Warmonger" is for someone with a hardliner policy, who thinks that the problem can be resolved by military actions. I may differ with people on many policies but as long as they are not lying, they are credible witness.

So I guess you’re still a believer in WMDs owned by Saddam.
Interesting.

Does video interview of Bolton in August praising Trump’s phone call with Zelensky make any difference to you? Or can he be for the phone call then and now he was always against it?
Do try to make some sense.

Sure. Investigate the families of ALL "public servants".

It was windy as heck in San Diego yesterday. The article says the concrete hadn't cured yet.

Do you think you have a clever point or something?

Meanwhile:

I don't think we should listen to Mr Iraq WMD's lying once again, but the flip side of the coin is that 'hire the best people" Trump has shot himself in ass by appointing Lying Unstable Bolton to his cabinet.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

leaping into the Senate chambers with M134 ablazing, shouting DIE! FILTHY! CUNTS! FUCKING! DIE! and machine gunning everyone there to death

Would you REALLY cry if he'd thin the population of politicians???

Contractors WIN BIG!
Next wall washed away by floods, stolen by Mexicans, etc...shoddy workmanship pays off!

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

No yams for him, though.

Agreed, he is too fat now. Difficult to effectively swing M134 around without hitting his own belly. Good exercise tho lugging machine gun around.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

machine gunning likely felons.

You mean lobbyists of all stripes and persuasions? I'd pay to see that.

Linked article keeps popping a privacy policy dialog over the content whose only option is "accept" so I quit trying to read that link.

Have you ever read your county building code regarding wind load bearing requirements for fencing? It's like the government doesn't follow its own standards imposed on regular citizens.

"The concrete wasn't cured yet." BULLSHIT! Unless it was sabotaged with too much retarder (ordinary sugar works great for this btw), the concrete should have reached an initial set within hours.

This is part of why I've been opposed to the wall as a solution to immigration problems, because even the fucking WIND can breach the damn thing despite a price tag of what, 7-8 figures; or is it 9?

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

For exercise, PRECEDENT should walk around DC machine gunning likely felons.

Non-indicted Dem felons and bureaucrats? He'd run out of ammo a long time before he ran out of felons. Field nukes might work.

Is DirtyDish-o-Witz defending him hoping for a pedophile pardon?

They are welcome to tell THE TRUTH, THE ONE AND ONLY !TRUTH! as long as they meticulously avoid the facts.

A certain judge will block any good Trump would do here long enough for it to be a huge problem here.

Everyone with a book deal must testify!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

Except Joe and Hunter Biden

Chief Justice Roberts revealed last night that Trump has indeed caught them all. It showed it last night then reinforced it again this morning. By exceeding his capacity as the Ceremonial figure in a Constitutional Republic Senate Impeachment Trial. He is there to be a person that reads the questions, to avoid a rowdy shouting match. He's there to keep order and nothing more. He doesn't have authority to make any judgement in one way or the other. If any party feels something about the process is unjust. Then it must be brought to the Supreme Court to have all SCOTUS rule on it. Alone Chief Justice Roberts is just another asshole in a black robe, that is off the job. He doesn't get to earn his money until in he's in the SCOTUS.
He so brazenly and willing to put on this pathetic display in light of the Shoddy FISA court he oversaw and staffed. The pure bullshit kangaroo court he allowed in the FISA court is nothing short of Criminal.

This tells me a few things. We're getting closer to exposing Obama in a big reveal next, then the ax will fall on them all. And number Two, we're not going to have to sweat RBG any longer. Trump will get to replace Chief Justice Roberts with someone solid. So RBG can continue taking her sweet ass time croaking.
The best part of all, Judge No Point at All(Napolitano) wont even be on the long list Trump has to chose from. I have a better shot at being the next SCOTUS than that silly Wop son of a bitch.
