Sorry drron - this unsubstantiated claim that Trump continuously parroted is far too easily exposed as a pack lies, even by Snopes :- Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States' Uranium to Russia in Exchange for Clinton Foundation Donations?

You really need to fact check yourself ..... it will save soooo much time.

Now if you want to maturely discuss the impact of donations on the integrity of politics in the US, I'm with you there.

Obama and Sally Yates warned Trump not to hire Flynn due to possible blackmail risk from the Russians.

Former Acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates said on Monday she warned the White House in January that then-national security adviser Michael Flynn had been compromised and could have been vulnerable to blackmail by Russia.

Of course this proves that the US security agents had recorded at least some of the Trump campaign's team telephone messages.
As to Snopes they admit in that article they no little of the activities of the Clinton Foundation .They say that there was only one donation from someone associated with Uranium One at the time of the decision ignoring the fact that the then CEO,not Frank,Giustra,donated to the Clinton foundation 12 months before the decision.Could be coincidence but you really cant dismiss it.
 
And now FBI Director Comey 'fired' - oh this real life soap opera just gets better and better - and the circumstances under which it happened - government at its finest!
 
Am currently watching CNN and their commentary is fascinating. You'd think someone had died.

The most amazing thing I've heard is that Comey found out he'd been fired from a television screen that was playing whilst he was giving a speech in Los Angeles.

The letter from the President was delivered to the FBI Office in Washington DC and no one bothered to even call him!

Watch all hell break loose if the Clinton investigation is reopened.
 
FOX broadcasting it as Comely resigned.

Can't. Believe. They can't get the basic truth correct.

They aren't interested in the truth. Fox wants eyeballs, and whatever gets them in is what is important.

The USA today is a study in personal interest. The only people giving a stuff about the principles of the founding fathers are history teachers. Everyone else is out for what they can get, and to be frank, in today's America, most people need help.

Apart from the guys actually running the show. They just want as many millions as they can screw out of the rotting carcass of American democracy.

NY tabloid reports on protest and various protesters surrounding the controversial historical monument with some detail about both sides of the argument regarding a statue and renaming of a park with one unsubstaniated tweet from 1 person taling about Russia, no mention of Trump in that article so irrelevant to this thread.

Meanwhile Trump is golfing again - if Obama golfed 21 weekends in a row, the republicans would have lost their ever lovin' minds.

Seeing as you have declared yourself the gatekeeper of what is and what isn't acceptable sports and hobbies for politicians, please provide us a list of which public figures are allowed to play which sports for reference in the future. :D

I also look forward to your shot-by-shot description of the aforementioned game of golf with a breakdown of the scorecard upon completion of the game.

You dont think these events are not connected? White supremacists are just chanting about Russia on the spur of the moment and it has nothing to do with the latest Trump fiasco?

Please tone down the attitude. Trump chastised Obama numerous times from a podium and social media about playing golf. Meanwhile this is the 17th weekend in a row, 21 in total, for Trump. The hyprocrisy is strong.

Do you want the scorecard before or after Trump alters it?
Apart from anything else he is a confirmed golf cheat.
See here, here and here.
 
What comes out of this numb nuts gob just never ceases to amaze:

(CNN)There's a very odd -- and telling -- moment in President Donald Trump's interview with The Economist released Thursday morning. Here it is:
TRUMP: We have to prime the pump.

ECONOMIST: It's very Keynesian.

TRUMP: We're the highest-taxed nation in the world. Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?

ECONOMIST: Priming the pump?

TRUMP: Yeah, have you heard it?

ECONOMIST: Yes.

TRUMP: Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven't heard it. I mean, I just...I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It's what you have to do.

(Trump, quite clearly, believes he came up with the phrase "prime the pump." Or at least that he is the first person to use it in regards the potential kick-starting effect of tax cuts on an economy. Not so, according to the increasingly cheeky Twitter account of the Merriam Webster Dictionary that noted shortly after Trump made the claim that "the phrase 'priming the pump' dates to the early 19th century," adding: "'Pump priming' has been used to refer to government investment expenditures since at least 1933.")

It still beggars belief this disgraceful excuse for a human being lands the most powerful position in the most powerful country on the planet.
