Why this lie, will always be known as a "lie." Trump did not misspeak

Let's say that you have a friend that you care a whole lot about. A great friend and that friend has a wonderful family. While talking to the friend, you say something very bad. But you got things mixed up. Too much booze. Ok, you have some people you work with who are with you, they catch the mistake you made to your friend, and tell you right away....What do you do?..But you care about this friend, very much because he is a great guy and has a great family........

You call your friend, immediately and tell him you made a mistake, and apologize profusely ....You do not wait, because you want the truth...to come out now, not tomorrow. Not after someone else (McConnell) makes a statement of truth.

You want to correct the error NOW!!! This was a terrible mistake, and you don't wait to apologize. You take care of the matter as soon as possible. So, if it was an honest mistake, (if that is possible) I and most of us would have dealt with it...last night..as soon as the plane landed. Clarify, and apologize to your friend.....IMMEDIATELY..!!!! Now, yes. late at night, but now, to immediately set thing right, because you care.

....It wasn't a mistake, it was a screw up of the highest order, and the tone of voice of that immediate apology would stand for itself. That is what I would do, and anyone who cared about that friend. It is that simple..

But no, Trump waited. McConnell spoke first, then Trump. Ok, so Trump was very tired from the trip. First thing in the morning with the tweets, .."I am sorry I made an awful mistake. I was wrong."...Not hours later, well ......."I misspoke." It won't stand the test of the truth, by lying again, so much later, he delivered himself to the garbage dump, and pushed himself in where he belongs.

It looks like Trump destroyed himself today.

But this will take time to sink in. Trump went with Putin, and against the CIA, FBI our allies and the U.S.A. When the country fully understands what happened today, Trump will be gone, one way or another. There is no walking back, and Trump never apologizes for anything. No explanation will work, because there is none. This will be talked about for months. If Republicans defend Trump, it will help Democrats in November. November could see a "blue wave" beyond anything imagined.

Trumps meeting with Putin clearly was enough to indict Trump with "treason"

That indictment will never come. But Trump's words and actions today make it clear to the world. Trump does not care about the USA. He cares about Putin. He did not defend us, he says he will work with Putin to solve the problem. Our own intelligence agencies were ignored, and Putin was elevated above them. In one day, Trump has totally lost the trust of most Americans and our allies. Where there was smoke before, a mild smoke like coming from a very small camp fire, there is now a raging totally destructive forest fire. Trump has no clue, but come November, he will see the proof. And..Trump never apologizes for anything, and he won't apologize for today
Democrats already know and will tell the truth. I wonder how many Republicans will tell it like it is. Trump sold us out today. That is who he is, and that is who he will always be.

Donald Trump defined himself in a way only he could do. And there is no coming back from this definition.

Nixon vs Trump? Smarter? More adapt at evading? More seasoned? Better Liar?

Nixon had a much better sense of politics and lots more experience. Nixon was better at dealing with the press. But Trump seems to have a following that is more loyal and will believe anything he says. (although Nixon's supporters strongly believed him too, but they were not the "cult" that I see with Trump) Also, Nixon had a somewhat long period without him being involved with a scandal, although his vice president was forced to resign. Nixon lied a lot, as does Trump. (secret plan to get us out of Viet Nam). Nixon had nothing like the immigrant problem and locking up children like Trump has. I hated Nixon and I hate Trump. Nixon had some years without controversy, Trump has had almost no time without controversy. ..What else? Your opinion especially those that lived through the Nixon times and Watergate.

I'm guessing in 30 days Papa John's Pizza will be sold to someone & name changed.

That name and that company will be gone forever. New buyer may even change the pizza. If I recall the one time I had it, it was not good...

Drip, Drip, Drip.. a few Russian indictments...it's just a drip,

A few drops before the storm hits. This happens all the time. A thunderstorm approaches and you look at the dark clouds. Clearly the storm is coming your way. Predicted and there it is.....
..So, as the clouds approach, there is a few drops before the deluge. You and I know a very strong storm is coming...but, it is just a few drips...Yes indeed....drip, drip, drip...

....more is coming in my opinion..., no I don't know nothing....as Sgt Schultz would say....

Go back to the Watergate investigation and think about the first few drips. No connection between Nixon's campaign and the break in...none we were told. I recall. And the drip, drip started. Gradually a connection was found, and then a stronger one because of one simple reason: Nixon was a crook

and guess what????????????? ................................................................Trump is also a crook!!

drip, drip, drip...........hopefully we will all see if this opinion/prediction is correct.. wrong......

Kelloggs and Johnson and Johnson accused of selling poison.

Evidently the baby powder and the Sugar Smacks have caused health problems. Johnson and Johnson denies the claims, but Kelloggs has recalled the products as ordered by the FDC. Details can be found in two stories in latest news. It has not been found how the "Sugar Smakes" caused stomach problems yet.

Baby Powder story: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142108137

Honey Smacks story: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142108123

Two of the most "trusted" names in selling have turned out, if true, to be no more than crooks. In the article on Johnson and Johnson, it is claimed that the company knew for 40 years about the powder possibly causing cancer.. Well, what can one say?

What will Trump do or say next??...

No one knows, not even Trump.

What will it be?
Can anyone see?
Maybe, something good will be said,
Not something that we all dread.


What does one say?
On a day like today.
Can Trump shut the fu*k up?
And not disrupt.
And stay in the back for a while,
Just stand there and smile,
And shut the fu*k up..........................the end....

Trump said, "Germany is Held Captive by Russia." ....: CNN

https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/10/politics/donald-trump-nato-summit-2018/index.html

___________________________________________________________________________________
Brussels (CNN) — President Donald Trump came out brawling in his first public comments here ahead of NATO's annual summit, accusing a close US ally of being "a captive of Russia," calling members of the alliance "delinquent" in their defense spending and insisting they increase it "immediately."

Trump's provocative comments -- particularly those aimed at Germany -- at the outset of the NATO summit are sure to amplify the sense of unease among the United States' closest European allies. Their concerns had already set in ahead of Trump's arrival on the continent, following weeks during which the US President has increasingly and vociferously aired out his grievances against many of them.

So, this dimwit bulb, which was rated at 25 watts, went down to a 10 watt bulb, and may be 7 watts by the end of today. Trump is so stupid to say those words. He could have said so many other words, but those are stupid beyond stupid. Many sources (sorry no links) say Russians have invested in Trump's properties when Trump could not get funding in the USA. Many imply that Trump is held captive by Russia. Why would the idiot even use words like that?...By saying that, Trump focuses back on himself in a very ugly light...but..
............it is a very low level light...10 watts is not a whole lot...(soon to be 7 watts)

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
