Straggler Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Donny Jnr may actually go to jail Quote Imagine a criminal accused of conspiring to receive stolen property. At trial, the accused testifies that he hired a big truck to carry away the goods, but when he arrived at the stash all he found was worthless garbage. I might feel for the hapless criminal, but his guilt would not be in question. This is much the situation that Donald Trump, Jr finds himself in – by his own admission. All that is missing is the email that he forwarded on to his dad to tell him all about it. Given the speeches that Don Sr gave a few days before this meeting happened it sure as hell looked like he knew about it and was expecting something juicy to come out of it. One of Manafort, Kushner or Donny Jr will almost certainly have told him about it. My money is on Donald "Fredo" Trump Jr being the one to have got Daddy all excited over the clever things he was doing. The big question is how many people will go down with Jr over this. Manafort (should have known better) and Kushner (he's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy) are right in the firing line and Trump Sr is only one degree of separation away from this (so far). The fun thing is that there is no logical defense to this Tweet from Jr. It's not fake news, it's not a democrat plot (although I do already hear people saying that it is, but that the democrats didn't use this info before the election and then went and lost really shoots that idea down hard). This is all just Donny Fredo Trump Jr bringing the whole thing crashing down around his own ears. Sadly my rational self knows that rich people don't go to jail, so in reality this won't be enough to send anyone down on it's own. I don't think this crime will be lonely for too long though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nothing will happen. Rich people don't go to jail, and the President's son, son in law and a former advisor in the same matter currently dogging the President? No chance. Add it to the increasingly large pile that looks a lot like an elephant in the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border wall is to be transparent and solar at the same time Quote President Trump has a new idea for his proposed border wall with Mexico — make it transparent so no one gets conked on the head when smugglers toss weighty bags of drugs over from Mexico to the US. “As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One late Wednesday en route to France. A transparent wall would give the smugglers nowhere to hide, he said. He also repeated his hopes that the border wall — which he still insists will be paid for by Mexico despite that country’s denials — should be solar-powered. “Look, there’s no better place for solar than the Mexico border — the southern border,” Trump said. “And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall.” Where do you even start with that huge pile of stupid? It's not even like the press have stitched a bunch of answers together from different days, all of this came as the answer to a single question. He is genuinely concerned that part of the American drugs problem is that people out for a stroll by the border wall are in legitimate danger of being killed by a Mexican lobbing a 60lb bag of coke onto their head. I'd love to see the stats on that one, I imagine it is somewhere between shootings and road accidents. This is so dumb I assumed at first it had to be fake news, but it checks out, he really said it. Just for the sake of clarity his full comments as released by the White House are as follows: Quote Question: You were joking about solar, right? Trump: No, not joking, no. There is a chance that we can do a solar wall. We have major companies looking at that. Look, there's no better place for solar than the Mexico border -- the southern border. And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall. One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall — so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall. And I'll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them -- they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As cray as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs. The bloke is batshit crazy. Where the hell did he get the idea that there are Mexican smugglers that speculatively throw 60lb bags of coke into America and then dust their hands off with the job done? There we are those drugs are Americas problem now. I imagine that there are massive bags of drugs up and down the border just waiting to be picked up by any old passer by, it's probably like going strawberry picking or something in Donald's mind. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear Donald has just invented the fence. Not the only thing he has invented this year. So far he has graced the English language with a new phrase "Prime the pump" (which in no way has been used since the 1800's) and he gave us Covfefe. I almost forgot that he gave us "Unpresidented" too. The bloke is an inspiration, a shining beacon of intellect and innovation in a grey world of mediocrity.

I saw it filmed in a documentary, called "No Country for Old Men".

I assume that's pretty unlikely, given the timing of the meeting right at the end of primary season . . . doesn't seem like a meeting the top man would drop everything to join. However, I do agree that they are uncovering more and more evidence all the time. It doesn't look like it took that much scratching under the surface to find out about this meeting, and there's probably more stuff still to come out.

Looks like a managed release of titbits by someone in the know rather than finding out more. Aiming for maximum damage. But will there ever come a point where Republicans have had enough of his behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
