Botany's JournalThe BBC: Donald Trump: US President in 'Prince of Whales' Twitter error
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-48622001US President Donald Trump has caused a splash on Twitter after he tweeted to say he had met the "Prince of Whales".
Mr Trump made the mistake, intending to refer to Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, in response to articles following an ABC news interview.
He said he would listen if a foreign government gave damaging information about a political rival without necessarily reporting it to the FBI.
In the tweet, he accused media reporting the statement of "fake news".

#IMPEACHTRUMPNOW TRENDS ON TWITTER: AMERICANS SAY PRESIDENT COMMITTED 'TREASON' BY SAYING HE WOULD TAKE FOREIGN INFORMATION ON 2020 RIVALS
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-2020-election-foreign-intel-treason-1443762
Twitter was alight on Thursday morning with calls to "impeach Trump now." Americans were accusing President Donald Trump of treason after saying in a television interview that he would be willing to take foreign information on a rival in the upcoming 2020 election.
"TREASON," Dena Grayson, a former Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress, wrote in a tweet sharing a clip of the interview.
"This is treason in broad daylight," another social media user added, before calling on Democrats Senator Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "do your job" and "#ImpeachTrumpNow."
Despite facing widespread calls from Democrats to start impeachment proceedings against Trump, Pelosi said on Tuesday that the push to launch the process is "not even close" to having enough support in the House.
*****
Nancy P. now is the time. End of story. Trump all but admitted that he took Russian help in 2016.
Okay how will Trump/Trump administration/Fox ...

Out of context?
And how will Mitch and Graham defend him?
The Mueller report clearly identified collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia / 272 Contacts
TRUMP’S RUSSIA COVER-UP BY THE NUMBERS – 272 CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA-LINKED OPERATIVES
Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

Last Updated June 3, 2019
On April 18, 2019, a redacted copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s “Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election” (Mueller Report) was released to the public. The Mueller report builds on the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that there were two campaigns to elect Donald Trump— one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. The Mueller report clearly identified collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, despite repeated denials from Trump and many of his senior advisers and close associates that there were any connections between the two campaigns.
A total of 272 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives have been identified, including at least 38 meetings. And we know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.
Beyond the many lies the Trump team told to the American people, Mueller himself repeatedly remarked on how far the Trump team was willing to go to hide their Russian contacts, stating, “the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference.”
*******
When is enough, enough? Impeach his ass already and if the republican senators want to still
stand with that treasonous bastard let 'em.
On voicemail, Trump's lawyer asks Michael Flynn's attorney for a 'heads up'
Now is this fake news?
"Hey, Rob, uhm, this is John again," the Nov. 22, 2017 voicemail recording starts out, as Trump's lawyer, John Dowd, requests Flynn's attorney, Rob Kelner, for a "heads up" about the nature of Flynn's cooperation, a move that special counsel Robert Mueller's team has described as a "potential" effort to hinder the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
"If, on the other hand, we have, there's information that. .. implicates the President, then we've got a national security issue, or maybe a national security issue, I don't know ... some issue, we got to-we got to deal with, not only for the President, but for the country," Dowd tells Kelner in the voicemail. "So ... uh ... you know, then-then, you know, we need some kind of heads up. Um, just for the sake of ... protecting all our interests, if we can, without you having to give up any ... confidential information."

About 7:00 AM on the Fox Business Channel I heard this from some Fox Blond/Brunette ...
.... thousands of people are also turning out for pro Trump rallies in the U.K. today.
I listened to all of 10 seconds as I was channel surfing over to the weather channel
and I thought about all those people who listen to this Fox crap and live in an informational
void.
Stupid Trump question
How are tariffs on Mexican products going to stop migrants from Guatemala, Costa Rica,
and the Honduras?
Enjoy some pupusas too. We just got a good Guatemalan restaurant close to where I live and if
anybody can't see that America's future is gonna be hispanic they are blind.
I just can't watch any coverage about the Virginia Beach shootings.
My heart just can't take it.
It has become the new normal w/the same kind of people who are there to
respond and help friends and families get through with this horror show, the
reporters asking and talking about the same things, and in the end nothing will
get done and so we can wait for this "new normal" to happen again.

We went 2 whole days since the last mass shooting in our 2nd amendment land of freedom.
I have hunted and owned a few guns for years and if the government wanted them and it
would lead to some kind of solution I would be fine with giving them up. 2 20 gauge pump
shotguns, 1 bolt action .22, and an old 30-30 rifle.

The shooter who opened fire indiscriminately in a Virginia Beach city building Friday afternoon, killing at least 11 people and sending six others to the hospital, was a disgruntled employee, a Virginia government source briefed on the investigation told CNN.
The shooter died after a gunfight with police.
Police Chief James Cervera told reporters Friday night the gunman was a public utilities worker.
"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach," said Mayor Bobby Dyer. "The people involved are our friends, coworkers, neighbor, colleagues."
