Anything to prevent the possibility of more Justin Biebers

So you can get a lifetime ban for the USA, for investing into a business in one of the states where this business it is perfectly legal ... that`s really schizo

… and Trump had closed the border... with Canada.

This decision will effect about 1/3 of all Canadians, unless you include Canadians who have pension funds that have invested in the legal marijuana business.

Reporter: Who should be held accountable for [Jamal Khashoggi's murder]?
Trump: Maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious place. The world is a very vicious place. (via CBS)

Fitting to the topic, a cartoon by a german cartoonist:

I really do think Trump will serve two terms... one in Federal prison and one in the NY state system.

Lets hope so

Maybe it was a Freudian slip and he was thinking about Steamy Daniels.

Catapults. Steam vs. electromagnetic.

[spambot]

Is he recommending steam ships in the 21st century?

edit: Wikipedia tells me that nuclear-powered vessels still use steam, using nuclear reactors to boil the water. I'm sure Kid will pretend that's what Donald was talking about.

[BeBMan]

I'm not Albert Einstein and use Steam for a couple games just fine!

Soemthing that, once again, makes you wonder how it could happen that this simpleton became PotUS:
Excerpt from Donnies phone call with a US navy commander for Thanksgiving:

Trump: “Steam is very reliable. Electromagnetic – unfortunately you have to be Albert Einstein to really work it properly...”
Navy Officer: “Yes sir. You sort of have to be Albert Einstein to run the nuclear power plant that we have here as well, but we’re doing that very well.”

I know Kid is stupid but I will remind the dullard that ordering the DOJ to investigate political enemies was one of the impeachable offenses written up for Nixon's impeachment.

Jesus Christ, you are a stupid man, Kidiot.

Rep. Fudge sells out for a committee chairmanship. She was the leading candidate opposing Nancy Pelosi to become the next speaker of the house but she has now agreed to drop her candidacy in exchange for a committee chairmanship. This is just more dirty deals and not any meaningful change in Washington. If Fudge ever runs for anything again just remember she has no principles.

Maybe being rational is one of her principles.

That was no criminal investigation but only a half-hearted extension of the background check into Kavanaugh.
Big difference

He can order criminal investigations too, preliminary that is, especially if the DoJ is not doing their job. He can't involve himself into them. The DoJ still must follow guidelines and not abuse their power.

In the Hillary case, they are already investigating her. This is a bunch of nonsense.

He directed the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh at the request of the Ds idiot. Get your head out of your ass.
