he wasn't saying it was fake right when / after those incidents happened... he doesn't start crying 'fake news' until he sees just how BAD things can get for him, publicity-wise.
When you think about it, he's amazingly transparent under all that orange bronzer / self-tanner / makeup gunk.

Correction: claiming 'illegal' for the Access Hollywood tape?!?!?!

This Woodward book is stunning. I mean most of us suspected it was this bad. But hearing first hand accounts is just... God help us. I"m sure it is all just more FAKE NEWS.
Our USA reporter commented on the evening news that he was surprised that he hadn’t yet heard it called fake news 🙂

Dominos are falling................ dt can't blame this one of Sessions......... Vulnerable House Republican now faces an ethics investigation that could kill his chancesNoor Al-Sibai NOOR AL-SIBAI 04 SEP 2018 AT 18:14 ET The House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into Iowa Republican Rod Blum — a congressman considered to be one of the “most vulnerable” in the House. Roll Call reported Tuesday that the committee is looking into allegations raised by a February Associated Press report claiming Blum’s top staffer was featured in a fake testimonial for a company he owned and failed to disclose on his financial disclosure forms. Along with issuing a statement announcing its investigation, the House Ethics Committee also published a document Tuesday “clarifying” the House’s guidelines on members personally endorsing or promoting “organizations, products, or services where they have a financial interest.” The report noted that the congressman called the investigation a “crusade of personal destruction” from the “radical left.” “In my case they scream ‘ETHICS VIOLATION!’ over a clerical error on a form,” Blum wrote. “Once this minor error was brought to my attention, I immediately self-reported to the Ethics Committee and apologized.” Last week, Politico reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee is considering cutting off funding to “lost cause” candidates — and Blum was considered chief among them. Over the weekend, American Ledger also reported that the Iowa Republican is allegedly a moderator of the same conspiracy-filled “Tea Party” Facebook group as Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis. After the report about the Facebook group was published and the AP requested comment about it, Blum tweeted the name, phone number and email address of the same reporter who wrote about his alleged ethics violation in February, Splinter reported. www.rawstory.com/2018/09/vulnerable-house-republican-now-faces-ethics-investigation-kill-chances/

I'm not aware of his ties to white nationalism, that's the first I've heard that and I find nothing on that subject tied to him. He was talking about socialist policies, not the candidate so I disagree it was a some sort of dog whistle. Calling a black man articulate is not talking about socialist policies. Nor is it complement. Thanks for the clarification, I'll have to remember how racist Joe Biden is when he decides to run for President in 2020. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said when evaluating Obama. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." Thanks for the heads up, Fred.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said when evaluating Obama. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." Thanks for the heads up, Fred. CNN There is always more to a story but people like you always leave out the rest of the story if it should muddy your point. Did DeSantis do any of this to Adam Putnam when it was all over the news that his remarks were racist? Or seen as racist? From 2007.. Biden's description of Obama draws scrutiny WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Joe Biden planned to spend Wednesday focusing on his official announcement that he was running for president, but the Delaware Democrat instead found himself defending remarks he made to the New York Observer about his Democratic opponents. In the article published Wednesday, Biden is quoted evaluating presidential rivals Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois. His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, drew the most scrutiny. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." (Watch Biden's comments and Obama's reaction Video) Biden issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying: "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama." Biden also spoke to reporters in a conference call Wednesday afternoon and said the remark was taken out of context. "Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that the Democratic or Republican Party has produced at least since I've been around," Biden said on the call. "And he's fresh. He's new. He's smart. He's insightful. And I really regret that some have taken totally out of context my use of the world 'clean.'" Biden said he was referring to a phrase used by his mother. "My mother has an expression: clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack," Biden said. Obama, in a brief off-camera interview in a Senate hallway, said he thinks Biden "didn't intend to offend" anyone. "He called me," Obama said. "I told him it wasn't necessary. We have got more important things to worry about. We have got Iraq. We have got health care. We have got energy. This is low on the list." "He was very gracious and I have no problem with Joe Biden," Obama added. Later on Wednesday, Obama, in a written statement, said "I didn't take Sen. Biden's comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate. African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate." There is more to the article if you care to read it.

When you have a guy with known ties to white nationalism, and he uses terms like “articulate” plus any form of the word “monkey” in relation to his black opponent ... please do NOT try to argue he wasn’t using racist, dog-whistle language. On purpose. In plain view. I'm not aware of his ties to white nationalism, that's the first I've heard that and I find nothing on that subject tied to him. He was talking about socialist policies, not the candidate so I disagree it was a some sort of dog whistle. I'm sorry I didn't get back to this discussion sooner. I think you've seen his membership in the white nationalist Facebook group already. I don't know all the ins and outs of Facebook, but I do know that when someone adds me to a group, I get an email notification and the opportunity to opt out if I don't want in. I also get an email notification if I am made an admin. If he has opted out of notifications, he's an idiot. "I didn't know I was a member" is a crap excuse. A better one might have been, "I never looked at that group so I had no idea what was being posted." I could say that about most of the groups I've been added to. Too late for him now. snopes.com - DeSantis leaves racist Facebook groupAs far as "he was talking about policies, not the person," I would have to respond that he was talking about the policies he's accusing the person of pushing. And I will repeat, if he doesn't want to sound like a racist, he'd better learn right quick not to use the term articulate in relation to his black opponent, and to lose the word monkey from his vocabulary, period. His campaign seemed to understand how bad all that talk sounded, based on how fast they came out to back-pedal his comments. Vox.com - DeSantis' remarks about his opponentETA Joe Biden's comments were nothing to be proud of, but he was an old man in a young man's world ... and he apologized. Obama was gracious about it. They made up. Ron DeSantis is young enough to know better, and he's still insisting he said nothing wrong, as far as I know. He's just another Trump-style racist, to my eyes.

“.@presssec: “It’s hard to argue with the fact that this president has had the most successful two first years of any president in modern history.” @foxandfriends”
Actually it isn’t that hard to argue that trump will go down as the worst most corrupt president this country ever had.
Making stupid statements like this is just massaging trump’s fragile ego.

This from Dennis Miller...
Hey, am I way off here or are Liberals not handling Hillary’s loss as well as they could have? #DennisMillerOption
Prompted this response from Ron Howard...
“being serious about the question...it’s not who lost (as there were many mixed feelings about HRC hence a weak turnout). It’s the bombastic dishonest self-serving celeb who got the job. think about it...there wasn’t this much rancor over W even after Florida ballot controversy.”
He’s right. Too many people think of trump as just like everyone else when he’s not. Not in any way shape or form.

Aaron Rupar..
“Kavanaugh says that September 11 changed his perspective on the power of the presidency, and persuaded him the president should be above any sort of investigation that might interfere with their duties”
Does this mean after a terrorist attack that a president trump coukd stand on 5th Avenue and take shoot people and wouldn’t be held accountable?
Phooey. What happens if a president dies right after a terrorist attack? Or decides to retire after a terrorist attack? Or goes nuts? There are protocols in place if a sitting presidents needs to be replaced for whatever reason. And while it may be a bit messy during the transition it certainly would be better for the country then keeping a corrupt criminal as president.

The checks and balances in our government are even MORE important so as to not erode the rule of law, in my opinion, anyway. (or, I could have said 'ditto' to Merge's post.)

linkWell this from the New York Times Opinion page ought to really set off trump I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
From the article... I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.
President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader. It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall. The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. I would know. I am one of them. To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous. But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.” You can read the rest of the op ed if you find this interesting. I’ve linked it. I wonder how more of these op Ed’s and books like Woodward’s before it will push him over the edge.

Do these folks, who have sworn to defend and protect the United States, not have any obligation to act decisively when they perceive a clear and present danger? Doing their best to steer the toddler away from the cliff is not ultimately as effective as removing the toddler from the area of the cliff entirely. Honestly I hope everyone who has enabled this moron, including the moron himself, sees the inside of a prison cell. This is insanity.

it does give me some hope to know that people inside the administration are at least doing SOMETHING, but yeah- who decides what/when something is FINALLY a 'clear and present danger?' It seems like the bar is (unfortunately) pretty high for that.
"...while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses..." << now THAT'S an understatement!!
"...Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over."
^^^ is it really a crisis if it's the RIGHT thing to do? I don't think so. Has the 25th Amendment truly never been invoked before for a sitting President, that they don't know whether it would pass muster or not?
ETA: I really want to read the comments on that op-ed, but they're getting so many comments, posted so quickly, that the page won't load for me to allow me to read any of them.
