Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

During the meeting, Akhmetshin said Veselnitskaya brought with her a plastic folder with printed-out documents that detailed what she believed was the flow of illicit funds to the Democratic National Committee. Veselnitskaya presented the contents of the documents to the Trump associates and suggested that making the information public could help the Trump campaign, he said.

“This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money,” Akhmetshin recalled her saying.

Trump Jr. asked the attorney if she had all the evidence to back up her claims, including whether she could demonstrate the flow of the money. But Veselnitskaya said the Trump campaign would need to research it more. After that, Trump Jr. lost interest, according to Akhmetshin.

“They couldn’t wait for the meeting to end,” he said.

Akhmetshin said he does not know if Veselnitskaya’s documents were provided by the Russian government. He said he thinks she left the materials with the Trump associates. It was unclear if she handed the documents to anyone in the room or simply left them behind, he said.

But of course.

next line of attack: "Don Jr is too lazy to be evil"

Like father like...goddamn, this writing shit takes forever, fuck this.

Veselnitskaya: "you'll have to do more research..."

IS MIKE PENCE THE NEXT PRESIDENT? VICE PRESIDENT DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM TRUMP’S CAMP IN NEW STATEMENT
"As news emerged that Trump’s son Donald Jr. had been promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton ahead of a meeting with Kremlin-linked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Pence’s press secretary, Marc Lotter, said in a statement shared on social media: “The vice president is working hard every day to advance the president’s agenda.”"

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A NON-STORY NEWSWEE K!

How the fuck are they so stupid and bad at this... For fucks sake, when you're literally tweeting out the mail where you say you want to collude, include who was at the meeting. Get it over with.

Never ever ever underestimate the stupidity, dishonesty and malice of GOP politicians. And their sons. And their advisers. But holy fuck, they're dumb.

Trump is the man , he has all the power
down in his pants, its hardly Trump Tower...

He's not wrong:

“amateur game of thrones bullshit” is how a senior White House staffer described the Kushner-Trump Jr situation to me this morning.

Wouldn't it be in the best interest of any GOPers to not take any public stance re: Jr.'s meeting? Given the way the story has unfolded, does this not seem like something that might maybe possibly potentially come back to bite them on the ass?

if anything else comes out they'll just say "obviously in light of this new information i'm more concerned about the meeting and have some serious questions for the administration..." etc ad infinitum

Hahah these two

in a theoretical world where the actions of GOP congressmen actually have consequences, yeah

lol his hair

I hesitate to call any of these villains tragic, but Don Jr. truly fits the bill. By every account Trump was a shitty father; rumor has it among the other shit in the alleged Apprentice tapes is Trump constantly calling his kids "retarded." When he left Don's mom reportedly Jr. didn't talk to Sr. for over a year. Don in college just fucked around/up, until his dad pressured/bought him into Wharton and, one presumes, slicking his hair back. Trump even went on the record back when citing Jr. as his most challenging child . And now Don Jr. is a teetotaler like dad, and clearly still out for approval. One piece posited that this whole meeting thing was yet another attempt to do something to impress dad, which makes sense. All of Trump's cohort are battling it out to be in his good graces. How must it feel to be a child and still have to fight for affection?

It's sad that he had a fucked up childhood but now he's just another rich asshole, sorry

He is a rich asshole (and he is sorry). But imagine being emotionally abused your entire life, and not only are you left handling the family business for your asshole dad, you even have the same fucking name. There is no escape.

The only way he could succeed and/or win back his dad is to become the very thing he hates!

(Coming soon to a theatre near you)

he could have escaped anytime he felt like it. he's an insanely rich white guy. he chose to be on The Apprentice and shit.

Victim blaming!

Nah, it's cool, I don't feel bad for him. But I have no doubt he had a shitty childhood before he was rewarded with enough wealth and power to be shitty to others. The cycle continues.

LOL that video Macron is laffing it up, that is some high-concept and inscrutably French gamesmanship

deftly punk'd

If Trump started wearing a helmet, not only would he not have to worry about his hair, he could send other people out in his place and stay home and watch TV.

I have a great deal of sympathy for people who grow up under fucked circumstances, but it's a sympathy that wanes the longer they progress through their adult lives without taking responsibility for their own shit or putting any effort into being better than the dickholes that raised them.

In his childhood, Trump learned to hunt and fish by spending time with his maternal grandfather in what was then Czechoslovakia.[47] Controversy erupted in 2012 when pictures surfaced of an African hunting trip Trump had taken in 2010. In one photo Trump has his arms around an endangered, dead leopard, and in another he is holding a knife in one hand and a bloody elephant tail in the other.

If Trump started wearing a helmet, not only would he not have to worry about his hair, he could send other people out in his place and stay home and watch TV.

He is going to HAVE to start wearing a helmet at all times as safeguard against Frenchy po-mo psy-ops
