Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

He should be forced to eat spoiled lunchmeat every day and never have air conditioning.

I don't know if Arby's would be willing to hire him

as a friend just wrote on FB, "The Mooch will be the Kato Kaelin of this story. It's too bad we'll be telling this story standing around a garbage can fire in a post-apocalyptic hellscape."

a fate foretold

Doesnt look like it.

On the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Germany this month, President Trump’s advisers discussed how to respond to a new revelation that Trump’s oldest son had met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign — a disclosure the advisers knew carried political and potentially legal peril.

The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for Donald Trump Jr. to release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account couldn’t be repudiated later if the full details emerged.

But within hours, at the president’s direction, the plan changed.

Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said he and the Russian lawyer had “primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children” when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared a story, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was “not a campaign issue at the time.”

The claims were later shown to be misleading.

Over the next three days, multiple accounts of the meeting were provided to the media as public pressure mounted, with Trump Jr. ultimately acknowledging that he had accepted the meeting after receiving an email promising damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help his father’s campaign.

The extent of the president’s personal intervention in his son’s response, the details of which have not previously been reported, adds to a series of actions that Trump has taken that some advisers fear could place him and some members of his inner circle in legal jeopardy.

etc.

“He refuses to sit still,” the presidential adviser said. “He doesn’t think he’s in any legal jeopardy, so he really views this as a political problem he is going to solve by himself.”

that's how you get someone fired in this whitehouse

yeah but Kelly will take care of this.

By the way, did I read it right that Reince was one of the few in this WH that did *not* sign any sort of NDA? If he's out for blood, at all ...

Thinking about the Post piece I just linked to. There are only a handful of people on Air Force One who would be privy that what reportedly went down.

lol at NDAs, like they matter when you're in government

Well, you can still be sued, no?

I heard some pundit joke that the reason Trump prefers wealthy appointees is that he knows they can afford their own lawyers.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-cant-legally-make-new-staff-sign-ndasyet

Reince's future is within the GOP, as he hasn't done anything else in life. He'll turn when the party does.

So, never?

Priebus is a shitty little ward-heeler who survived this long by kissing the closest ass and always being dumb enough to be unthreatening.

AZ senator Jeff Flake breaks ranks: My Party Is in Denial About Donald Trump.

If by 2017 the conservative bargain was to go along for the very bumpy ride because with congressional hegemony and the White House we had the numbers to achieve some long-held policy goals—even as we put at risk our institutions and our values—then it was a very real question whether any such policy victories wouldn’t be Pyrrhic ones. If this was our Faustian bargain, then it was not worth it. If ultimately our principles were so malleable as to no longer be principles, then what was the point of political victories in the first place?

this story is madness. imagine if the phisher wanted to alter policy instead of just 'prank' the admin https://t.co/QA1W7XP020 pic.twitter.com/i5xEi1A6cI

stuff like this is what puts the lie to so many nth dimensional chess claims... when folks like these actually attempt strategy this is how subtle it looks

actually can someone explain to me the 3d chess analogy? i keep hearing it but i don't get it.

or 4d chess, can't follow anymore.

any apparent fumbling is actually part of a comprehensive plan involving misdirection... they're losing strategic battles to win the greater war etc.

like, in theory it depends on being able to stealthily move your pieces into place while maintaining a ruse that puts your enemies at ease, but if subtle influence looks like that breitbart article...

I've also seen "n-D chess" used by Trump supporters to describe his business strategy of borrowing heavily, failing due to interest costs, and in bankruptcy proceedings taking advantage of banker's unwillingness manage the businesses to negotiate retaining a small ownership stake. The idea it seems is that he always pulls out a win of sorts from a losing position, if one ignores being blacklisted by all but Deutsche Bank and being forced into the Russian money laundering business.

The fake e-mail to Scaramucci reminds me of, if anyone remembers, the radio guy from Quebec who phoned Palin just before the 2008 election and pretended to be Sarkozy. "My special American advisor, Johnny Hallyday"--still brilliant.

oh ok, it's just a way for Trump fans to continuously believe he can't possibly be 'losing'. lol.

Yeah it's a reference to a bigger picture that the rest of this dimension aren't aware of. So everything that looks immediately stupid actually places things in position for longer term strategy.
I think an actual fictional 3D Chess appeared in Star Trek and was then marketed in the early 70s. I think I saw a set, 3 layers with a transparent board.

When done right and not by a bunch of incompetent buffoons it's an ability to stay ahead by knowing all the relevant information and its relevance. Often through layers of connection and understanding consequences and weak points. & the interplay of both.
The higher the level of dimensions the further ahead of the game the designated player is thought to be.
n is a substitute for a given number so presumably higher than 3 or 4 if used here.

XP I think Franklin Mint or a related firm did collector's edition Star Trek 3D Chess sets in the '80s-'90s.

I actually was trying to describe the concept of 3D chess to my dad earlier today. To me it's always been a Star Trek thing.

Also all of this winlosing is to put Liberals at their ease before the big vans roll up to arrest the DNC for Pizzagate / Clinton Foundation / James O'Keefe's fever dreams.

don't forget this dws-awan thing

the email story is incredible! he punked basically everybody! good lord these fucking idiots

i know i said this already but i can't unsee most of this as a veep ep at this point. the mooch is jonah.
