StrangeSox Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 W's ethics lawyer thinks that Trump not fully divesting himself means he's in violation of the Constitution on Day 1 and should be impeached. https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/808696929...src=twsrc%5Etfw Odds of that happening are 0% though.

I just didn't want Hillary; I don't really want Trump either. I think it's time for "next." The chance is closer to 0% than 1%. Actions have consequences. You chose to believe false narratives, you chose to not put America first, you get to live with the fact that you helped elect Trump. Hopefully he really wanted to make "America Great" and he will investigate into the Russian hacks irrespective of what the outcome may hold. He was a man so determined to find out the "truth" about whether Obama was born in America, well see if he has the same interest in finding out whether Russia is trying to influence American politics.

Tests with the Philippines, China, Russia, Syria, North Korea, Iran and Turkey are all on the way. Cuba, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) The USNS Bowditch is an "infamous" military reconnaissance ship that has been surveying China's coastal waters since 2002, said Ma Gang, a professor at the People's Liberation Army National Defense University. "Oceanic data is crucial for ship formations, submarine routes and battle planning," Ma said. "Therefore, it is normal for the Chinese Navy to be suspicious of Bowditch's activities given past experience." Ma said frictions between China and the US would increase if the diplomatically inept Trump continues to undermine China's territorial integrity. "Trump might eventually learn the hard way that China's sovereignty is absolutely nonnegotiable," Ma said. Zhong Feiteng, a senior researcher on relations among major powers at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Trump initially hyped the drone issue as leverage against China. But he quickly discarded the issue when China and the US resolved it peacefully. "The whole drone fiasco proves that Trump only cares for things that benefit himself, and will abandon them once they lose value," Zhong said. "This must be disheartening for US allies like South Korea and Japan." Love the Chinese "spin" on this one. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2016-12...nt_27704071.htm Republican Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CNN’s "State of the Union" that the Chinese would be able to retrieve some "pretty valuable" technical information from the drone through a process known as reverse-engineering. McCain said the Chinese seizure of the drone was a "gross violation" of international law. McCain, a critic of Democratic President Barack Obama's foreign policy, said the United States was not projecting enough strength in the world and said China's move reflected that. "Everybody is taking advantage of it, and hopefully that will change soon," McCain said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-aide-plays...-164400709.html Edited December 19, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Eric already was stopped trying to auction off Ivanka for a $78,000 coffee/tea meeting that was supposed to go to charity as well...definitely seems like Ivanka, Donald Jr./Jared Kushner are the "top three" in the pecking order while Eric's clearly fourth and a bit on the outside looking in.
