The request by the US congressional committee was part of its investigation into the January 6 Capitol attacks. Trump says that the materials sought by the House of Representatives are covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which protects the confidentiality of some communications between White House officials. He filed the lawsuit yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, with his lawyer, Jesse Binnall, detailing their reasoning. However many legal experts say Trump […]

Yo Donnie!

You aren't President

You don't have a Privilege

A good rule in life is never trust a man who hides behind lawyers and files endless lawsuits

[dmacarelli]

This is a man who was involved in 3,600 lawsuits, at the time he took office. He has made a fortune using the court system, to weasel out of billions in debt. This lowlife will do anything to avoid paying a bill to a small contractor. If only his devotees really knew who he was, they would collapse in shame for their unwavering support of this worm. 

He still cannot wrap his very small mind around the fact that he is a loser, and no longer president. Hah! Little Don, you are now nearly a nobody. Few care about you anymore. Your base is dwindling by the day. The thing you detest most in life has come to pass. Mr. Irrelevance is now your name.

The sad thing will be is that he will most probably die before he does time which he deserves. However Karma is a wonderful thing and perhaps covid will get him, for real this time.

Would be really fun to see him do time. Party time! Karma is a funny thing. He would likely transcarnate as a Thai soi dog.

Two things occur to me:

1. The alternative was Hilary Clinton.

2. Is that the best American can offer?

The present incumbent is a case in point, I feel.

One of the most respected non politician this century . It’s too bad the establishment ,msm , dems , intel and some on the gop didn’t appreciate his style of politics! Many patriotic Flag and country lovin Americans did and still do!

I and many others see the hypocrisy by the left , pundits and the establishment ,especially when going after him ,his family and  supporters while the hypocrites get a free pass in doing much more egregious actions, it seems! The shoe on the other foot ,comes to mind!

 Trump told everyone to march to the Capital and peacefully protest!While the fbi didn’t find any conspiracy for insurrection by Trump  ! His enemies still continue to lie ! 
Objecting to certification of the electorates has happen many times in the past ! Some in the Congress had the balls and tried to propose a investigation while disputing the 2020 election  .

Imop what happened on Jan 6 at the capital was spurned on by a small minority of extremists,left ,right and intel imop!What happen during the summer of love riots was far more damaging ,costing billions ,many deaths , while the lefts activist marched on cities throughout leaving many of  the cities burning and looted!

So I expect the establishment to start with leftist spews ,cause it’s almost primary season!

Are his legal costs covered by continued claim on "executive privilege" or are they being covered by yet another IOU ?

[23RD]

He should use the Hillary Clinton excuse I can't remember.

It is true that the country that has for decades boasted it's massively militarized imposition as global peace keeper and a benevolent example of desirous democracy yet seems to have constant issues with internal control.

When you are out and down, justice will come back to you when you have done things which are swept under. Good Luck to him and his croonies

Exactly how is this related to Thailand?  What possible reason would the Thaiger have for reporting such?  At least news about Mayanmar has a direct affect on Thailand.  Reporting on US politics is a waste of “good” journalism.  Unless it directly related to Thailand, keep your paranoid anti Trump garbage to yourself, or try another line of work.  We get enough of this stupid babble from the so called US “news channels”.

Correct. A lifetime abusing people on any level possible. His level of self absorbtion and self importance was matched by very few. 

No question he participated in Putin sponsored orgies. Epstein too, very possible. Did the man have the restraint to say no? Were they underage? Knowing Putin, and his background, Kompromat comes to mind. Videotaped for future use. Trump was a tool for Vlad.
