The "When will Donald Trump leave office in disgrace?" Pool

You realize this, correct?

You do notice, I assume, that our representative/constitutional/republican form of government is mob rule too, because virtually all its decisions are based on majority vote.

Uh, no, I don't, needless to say.

Nor do I agree with your claim that Kushner got a $100 million loan from a russian bank (not that it would matter), which you left out this time, eh?

You're on this board commenting on politics all the time and you somehow missed that Wilbur Ross, Trump's Sec'y of Commerce, was found to lying about not having a meeting with the Russian ambassador? Or that Jared Kushner did the same thing? Or that Jeff Sessions lied about meeting the Russian ambassador, asked to be able to correct the record about a meeting he really was discovered to have had, after which Jeff Sessions was discovered to be lying about a second meeting with the Russian ambassador? How did you miss this?

The loan of over $100 Million to Kushner's company was a loan extended by Deutsche Bank, which is also up to its neck in money laundering for the Russians and which has a long history with Trump. That loan to Kushner's company was for the purchase of the NY Times building on 43rd st. It was for $385 Million.

Isn't that [Deutsche Bank] Germany's premier bank?

How long until the witch hunt against Trump causes a trade war between the US and Germany?

I'm not following this close enough to untangle all these different meetings, but I've heard the claims addressed over the past months. Some of these alleged lies were answers to very specific questions, and the answers were truthful within the context of the question that was asked. Also, some of the alleged meetings probably never took place, meaning that some of these alleged lies may well be the truth. And some of the alleged lies could well be an honest mistake.

No trade war.

Germany threatened on Friday to retaliate against the United States if new sanctions on Russia being proposed by the U.S. Senate end up penalizing German firms.

The Senate bill, approved on Thursday by a margin of 98-2, includes new sanctions against Russia and Iran. Crucially, it foresees punitive measures against entities that provide material support to Russia in building energy export pipelines.

Berlin fears that could pave the way for fines against German and European firms involved in Nord Stream 2, a project to build a pipeline carrying Russian gas across the Baltic.

Among the European companies involved in the project are German oil and gas group Wintershall, German energy trading firm Uniper, Royal Dutch Shell, Austria’s OMV and France’s Engie.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman described the Senate bill, which must be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Donald Trump before it becomes law, as "a peculiar move".

He said it was "strange" that sanctions intended to punish Russia for alleged interference in the U.S. elections could also trigger penalties against European companies.

"That must not happen," said the spokesman, Steffen Seibert.

So in other words, you have no answer to the fact that several of Trump's high ranking officials have lied about meeting the Russian ambassador,

That will most likely depend on what lengths Trump's enemies go to in their efforts to stir up trouble with Russia.

Russia has reduced the current presidential Administration to a group of puppy dogs learning tricks so they can be rewarded by their master Putin. God forbid we should upset them or anything.

I do not accept the proposition that these statements are lies.

I see. They are just the same untruth told by several members of the Trump team about meeting the same 300 lb Russian ambassador. Really, who could suspect anything?

That's true, but the statements about they're not meeting Russian Ambassador Kisylak all seemed to share the same untrue quality.

then id get glasses,if I were you
