I guess we've been a part of Qatar for years now when we've had Al Jezeera dubbed for all these years, huh?

Don't think so dummy. As proof I'd offer that so far it's all going our way. That and the fact that your guy is in a very bad mood. I have to add, pay attention, a lot of people including some with the last name Trump testified and lied to congress. Oops...can you say felony? I can, I can say felony.

Isn't Qatar part of the Democrap Party, United together against America? You're talking about the AL Jezeera algore Network, right?

My own personal guess is this: Trump himself had very little to do with Trump Tower Moscow and bribing Putin with a free apartment. What’s more, he was smart enough never to do anything illegal. His idiot son Don Jr., however, is a different story. Legal stuff becomes illegal when Junior lies about it to, say, Congress or the FBI, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Don Jr. did. This accounts for a big part of why Trump is so frantic about this whole thing. Aside from the obvious political poison of it for the President, he’s afraid — or perhaps even knows — that Mueller has the goods on Don Jr.

I agree with this^ and have said pretty much the same. He's not terribly smart in many things except surviving and getting others to take the fall/do the dirty work, even family. You can see how fast he forgets who people are the minute they get in trouble, "hardly knew him."
I don't think Sr liked Jr that much anyway. When Jr.'s mother said "let's name him Jr!" Daddy Trump said, "what if he's a loser?" He was worried about the bad press blowing back on him - what a great father.
My personal wish is for impeachment even though it has almost zero chance for success (removing him from office). No matter, I want to see it drawn out on public tv, especially RT, and him just humiliated for months. A day for every lie he's told as president.

I couldn't disagree more. Everything Trumps does is illegal. He even exploits his charity so it benefits him. No, it'll be shown he is thoroughly a criminal. The one calling the shots.

According to T, tomorrow is Monday.

But he's been wrong before. There are 4 more Mondays left in 2018, and around 316 more during the rest of Trump's presidency.

What about Trump Jr.? The fact that NPR retracted their recent story about him and that you probably aren't even aware that they did?

Not sure I fully understand.

And why is npr getting Taxpayer Funding for their Yellow Journalism?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Here is the linked retraction story

Quote:

In another example of why Americans increasingly distrust the establishment media to present factually sound, unbiased news, NPR published a report Friday claiming that Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony to Congress conflicted with the current claims of Michael Cohen about the "Moscow Trump Tower" deal discussions taking place in 2016.

After a number of reporters from various outlets called out NPR for reporting what was a verifiably false claim, the network finally issued a correction and deleted its original tweet — but not before the false report had permeated social media and made its way to

Where else?
Quote:

CNN.

Among the reporters who caught NPR peddling the falsehood were The Washington Post's Phillip Bump and The Federalist's Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway, whose posts were highlighted by Twitchy, among others.

"This NPR story appears to be wrong. It notes that Trump Jr. told a Senate committee that a deal in Moscow died of 'deal fatigue' by 2014," Bump explained. "But that was a deal with the Agalarovs. He was also asked if a deal was in the works in 2015/2016 and said yes."

"This entire story is a lie," wrote Davis. "Trump, Jr. was explicitly asked whether the Trump Organization was pursuing a plan to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow in 2016. His answer: 'Yes.' He even offered to give the 2015 LOI signed by Trump to Judiciary investigators."

"This story is completely wrong, as shown in attached link using the actual testimony," tweeted Hemingway. "Shocking that this was published given its lack of truth. It needs to be retracted."

After the pushback reached critical mass, NPR finally issued the following correction:

Editor's note: An earlier version of this report mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow.

The story reported that Trump Jr.'s response — that negotiations on one project concluded by the end of 2014 — contrasted with the version of events as laid out in the guilty plea by Michael Cohen on Thursday. In fact, Trump Jr. and investigators were alluding to a different set of negotiations — not to a deal that Cohen was reportedly pursuing. Trump Jr. did acknowledge in his testimony that Cohen and another man were exploring a possible deal in Moscow in 2015 or 2016.

Trump Jr. did not address what Cohen has now admitted — that talks about such a deal continued at least into June 2016, longer than previously known and well into the presidential campaign.


NPR also deleted its original post and issued a new one:

But since it took about five hours for NPR to make any changes, by that time the story had already been promoted by several outlets, including CNN, which invited on analyst Susan Hennessey to repeat NPR's false claim:

Trump Jr. has since responded to NPR's belated correction.

"I guess this is as close as I’ll get to an apology where yet another 'bombshell' bites the dust," he tweeted in response to the retraction. "Pro tip: don’t just rush to publish anything thinking that it’s the got ya you so desperately want it to be. CNN has the market cornered on that... let them own it."

He's also been calling out those on the Left who were eager to share the false story and have failed to issue their own retractions, like Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy.

"You were saying senator???" he tweeted in response to Leahy sharing NPR's false story. "Please correct this immediately so you aren’t misleading many people now that even NPR corrected their sloppy attempt to smear me."

"Serious question for non-biased 'fact checkers' — What % of corrected or withdrawn stories originally erred in Trump’s favor?" he asked in another tweet. "I honestly don’t recall a single one. The media’s 'Oops, honest mistake' defense breaks down when you consider this point."[/quote[

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


"On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, which is separate from but related to the plea agreement, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Russian President Vladimir Putin’s office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016. But Mueller, who personally signed the document, omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to a general press mailbox. Sources who have seen these additional emails point out that this omitted information undercuts the idea of a “back channel” and thus the special counsel's collusion case.
... (also) an August 2017 letter from Cohn to the Senate intelligence committee states that Trump "was never in contact with anyone about this [Moscow Project] proposal other than me," an assertion which Mueller does not contest as false - which means that "prosecutors have tested its veracity through corroborating sources" and found it to be truthful, according to Sperry's sources. Also unchallenged by Mueller is Cohen's statement that he "ultimately determined that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia."
