Former President Trump Thread

I believe there was a state where obamas name was off the ballot due to a technicality.
Obama lost numerous counties in WV in the 2012 primary to an incarcerated felon. That's what an unending diet of "war on coal!" got us.

More proof that the "stupidest state in the union" tag was well deserved.
 
Good that he's gone, but it was done in a way that allows Trump to scapegoat him for Charlottesville while having Kelly do the actual firing so he doesn't have that responsibility either.

Fucking coward.
 
Snuffaluffagus is from a swamp. Ducks and Beavers are from swamps. Solomon Grundy is from a swamp! Why do people hate swamps? :(

Not really clear: NYT
Earlier on Friday, the president had told senior aides that he had decided to remove Mr. Bannon, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion. But a person close to Mr. Bannon insisted that the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week. But the move was delayed after the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va.
I wonder if we'll ever know the truth. Was this a "today" decision, or was the resignation in the works for a week already?

Trump does not do anything with planning. This has GOT to be something he did after Bannon's phone conversation with the reporter where he badmouthed both the alt-right nazis and contradicted Trump on North Korea. I don't believe for a second that this was planned or that Bannon put in a resignation.

It's been rumbling around for weeks because Kelly doesn't like him.
 
So back to Mueller for a minute, do we expect trumps legal team to abandon him now that he's a Nazi? Other firms refused to represent him based upon his personality alone, can a law firm withstand the stain of standing up for trump now?

Russian banks are the only banks willing to do business with him, so why not a Russian law firm?[DOUBLEPOST=1503085326,1503085156][/DOUBLEPOST]
All but one of the members of the President's Committee on the Arts & the Humanities have resigned:





I don't know who George Wolfe is, but, you know, let's assume he was busy?
Check the first letter of each paragraph...

I have a feeling this is a ruse. Trump can't address those supremacist followers of his directly, but cut Bannon loose, and Bannon can do it for him.

There are other rumors bubbling that Bannon may use this slight against the Trump WH. Apparently there are still bridges left to napalm.
 
The NY Times is reporting that Trump got mad that Bannon was taking too much credit. Seems that "President Bannon" meme was closer to the truth than we thought. :D
 
Meanwhile, there's a neonazi manifestation in Berlin commemorating the 30th anniversary of Hess' death. A few hundred nazi sympathizers, with about a thousand policemen surrounding them to keep them safe from the four different countermanifestations (you know, one communist, one green, one normal left, one centrist). Quote the senator responsible: "Oh, I'd have loved to ban the manifestation. However, the right of free speech also applies to losers and fools. They are subject to some strict rules and regulations, and otherwise, they're free to spout their nonsense".

You know, I think that's something that's missing from the discussion in our country. I've not said anything since tensions and emotions were running quite high, but these guys have the right to march. I fucking hate them and everything they stand for, but as long as they stay peaceful, they have the right to march. Yes, they are not free from things like being fired from their jobs, etc. But they DO have the right to wear the swastika and march yelling any damned fool thing they want.
 
Sounds like the Boston rally has been violence free. That's good.
The nazis didn't get anything close to the numbers they were expecting. They got scared when they saw how outnumbered they were. One dude tried the "free speech" argument on twitter. Yeas, asshat. This IS America. We don't like yer kind 'round here.
