Cohen claims Trump approved

[Kangaroo Feathers]

There were always the haters, for sure. I personally have never liked his style, but the real hate began to belch forth when he came out as a birther. That's when the proverbial **** hit the fan.

And? I mean, how much evidence do you need before you stop giving him the benefit of the doubt?

Personally I didn't know much about him before the election, but his conduct during the election alone was enough to convince me he was a liar and self serving opportunist completely unsuited for high office. His performance since being elected has only reinfirced my assessment again and again, IMHO. What else do you need before you stop unquestioningly taking what he says on faith?

 

[YmirGF]

Yes, among other reasons and his past. There's still nutty birthers running around America. I get it, you love Trump because he tells you what you want to hear. You don't care if he's lying to your face.

Nothing Trump says has any credibility unless completely fact checked. I'll provide the recent economic news as an example.

You won't find Tea Party supporters learning any of this information.

Why do you pretend to think that I believe a word Trump says? If the truth be told, reality is the opposite.
But, then again, you know my thinking better than I do. *sigh*

As I just told @tytlyf I don't personally believe a word Trump says and never have. Why do you insist on pretending otherwise?

I guess my generic "you" could have been clearer.

Ya think?

Cohen's word is much more truthful than the Liar in Chief. You do realize that most people despised Trump long before the presidency? Don't act like it just started when he was elected.

Maybe Trump got elected because he lied less than Hillary lied. Works for me.

He claims Trump approved of 2016 tower meeting. This puts Trump back in trouble if he is for Russian Collusion
and also he is being investigated for obstruction for justice. Well I will take back what I've been saying about Trump not being impeached. Maybe with all this crap maybe it might happen I don't know.

Wasn't illegal to have the meeting and it's hearsay. Wont stand up in court. Trump Jr would be in trouble if Cohen has evidence but he has nothing.

Got any comparative numbers to back up that speculation?

You sound awfully sure. I do note that we've gone from "there was no meeting! There was no collusion!" to "The meeting wasn't illegal, the collusion wasn't illegal". I guess we'll see.

Who'd you vote for?

Just going on what the article says and what is considered hearsay.

I never said there was no meeting. If i remember correctly Trump denied knowledge and Jr denied topics discussed (taking Cohen's word for argument sake).

 

[YmirGF]

Who'd you vote for?

Stephen Harper

Interesting, seeing how he wasn't running for president in 2016.

I am a Canadian.

I actually did vote for Harper, several times.

 

[tytlyf]

Well there you go. You support the conservative canadian versus the opposition. Didn't you say if you were American you would vote Trump?

I probably would have held my nose and supported the Republican nominee, yes.

Back up my "maybe"? I was responding to the post before me. Who invited you?

So rank, baseless speculation. Understood.

By the way, I understand having holes poked in core beliefs is unpleasant, and makes people defensive, but FYI, we're in a public discussion forum. Every one is invited. Even people who ask inconvenient questions.

It's not illegal to get head from an intern, either. But lying to certain individuals in certain situations is. And firing Comey doesn't look good. Had that not happened, things probably wouldn't have gotten to where they are now. And sense you seem to know enough about the case to declare that Cohen has nothing, could you fill us in on the other details that haven't been released?

Since you're canadian, what's your favorite canadian news channel up there or where you like to get information from? Any canadian websites as well?
