Thank you to you both.

I will say that 11 trips in 2 months is par for the course (groan) and that defrauding the public in February whilst insisting that covid would disappear like magic is outstandingly out of touch but I will say that I'm surprised that he hasn't been since 8th March.

I'm sure he huffed and puffed about having his toys taken away from him but I would have thought he'd just... still go anyway.
 
Murderer of Ahmaud Arbery spotted at KKK rally in Georgia three years ago. For anyone who really thinks that race had nothing to do with this murder.

Those could be age spots on his arm. In this picture, which is his right arm (opposed to the left in the other picture) it shows he does have spots on his forearm:

Probably needs more evidence though to put him at the rally, although if it was, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
 
Operation Crossfire Hurricane is going to be laid at the feet of former President Obama, according to people interviewed on Fox News today. They seem to be seeking his prosecution.

For example:

Wow, Rand Paul looks rough.

Rand Paul was savagely attacked from behind by an angry neighbor, suffering 5 broken ribs. Later he suffered coronavirus.

For some silly reason, a lot of us are growing full beards. Nevermind it makes makes masks less effective.

Wait, are you trying to say that he got into a second fight with a neighbor, separate from the altercation that took place, what was it, oh yeah, almost three years ago?

No, I'm more along the lines of thinking that he never fully recovered from the assault, and is now a changed man.

In this I agree. I don't condone a physical assault on another person, but from what I read, the attack was the culmination of a 17 year "war" between the two neighbors and the assailant, Rene Boucher, claims he finally had enough and tackled Rand to the ground after Rand repeatedly stacked brush and other debris on the border of Boucher's property.

It is a somewhat ironic correlation that the bad blood between the two neighbors escalated when Rand shoveled his **** and made it somebody else's problem when he's been doing it professionally and politically for much of his career.

Perhaps he looks haggard out of guilt that while he was waiting for the results of his Coronavirus test, he made no effort to self-quarantine and possibly infected others at the Gym and elsewhere. At any rate, you're right. After the incident Rand become an even bigger prick than he was before. Although I suppose that's not exactly what you meant.

Nothing wrong with a beard, but there is something strange about looking like you rolled out of bed and threw on whatever to go on national TV. His hair is a mess, his tie isn't straight, and he just looks tired. Maybe he should focus on taking care of himself instead of trying to spearhead some asinine revenge campaign against Obama. I mean Obama is guilty of some shady things, but what are they going to do, retroactively impeach him?
 
Trump: OBAMAGATE!!!
Fox, Breitbart, and all other Conservative commentators: OBAMAGATE!!!
Average Joe: What's Obamagate? What crimes did Obama actually commit?
Trump: It's obvious what crimes he committed. I don't even have to say. But were draining the swamp, exposing the most corrupt admin in US history!

Honestly though, it's really telling when Trump makes a claim as bold as Obamagate, claiming he wants to investigate Obama and those central to his campaign, yet can't even articulate what Obama did that was wrong. Yet his supporters will blindly believe him anyways. This is clearly a distraction from Trump's abysmal handling of the pandemic. Despite Obama having zero indictments or convictions throughout his campaign (Trump already has 89 indictments and 27 convictions, which is even more than Nixon), it is possible that there could be some corruption, but is there really any purpose in opening an entire investigation on a man who is not in public office, and probably never will be again? Seems like a massive waste of time and resources. Maybe the Trump campaign thinks that this investigation could hurt Biden somehow, but who knows.
 
What happened to everyone saying, when is Trump gonna follow through with his investigation threats?
Starts investigation, why is he investigating?

Almost funny...

From what I understand, the allegation is that Obama fabricated the Russian spy scandal and used it as an excuse to have the intelligence community spy on a Republican party candidate for the Presidency on his behalf, while simultaneously campaigning for the Democrat party candidate.
 
With the phrase floating around on Monday, the Washington Post’s Philip Rucker asked President Trump to define it at the White House coronavirus press conference:

Rucker: In one of your Mother’s Day tweets, you appeared to accuse President Obama of “the biggest political crime in American history, by far” — those were your words. What crime exactly are you accusing President Obama of committing, and do you believe the Justice Department should prosecute him?

Trump: Obamagate. It’s been going on for a long time. It’s been going on from before I even got elected, and it’s a disgrace that it happened, and if you look at what’s gone on, and if you look at now, all this information that’s being released — and from what I understand, that’s only the beginning — some terrible things happened, and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again. And you’ll be seeing what’s going on over the next, over the coming weeks but I, and I wish you’d write honestly about it but unfortunately you choose not to do so.

Rucker: What is the crime, exactly, that you’re accusing him of?

Trump: You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.

This is what I meant when I said that Trump couldn't articulate what crimes Obama has committed. The idea that the Obama administration illegally investigated Trump while campaigning for the Democratic Party candidate didn't come from Trump himself but rather conservative media.

Trump knows that he doesn't have to specific nor accurate in his claims in order for his supporters to agree with them, so he has no reason to be. These people will side with Trump no matter how outlandish, vague, or inaccurate his claims are.

Trump's own legal team say that the President is immune from prosecution for crimes committed in office so... a big nothingburger smokescreen.

Unless that rule applies to him and him alone.

That would be the position of Republicans.
 
I wish when they ask him a simple question like "what crimes are you accusing him of" and he responds the way he does, that they just repeat the same question again. Like, okay you responded how you did, now answer the damn question.

Trump would likely just respond, "you're fake news", and walk away, like he has done so many times before. He'd instead attack the reporter or their news organization if that happened. Though it sounds like a good tactic, I don't think that would compel Trump to provide a more articulate answer.

Philip Rucker did get the question in twice. It was a very nasty question.
 
From what I gather on the crime:

it was a very bad thing that happened. It should never have happened. It's very obvious and has been going on for a long long time. Bad bad things happened.

It's not the function of a president to accuse people of crimes. That might be prejudicial to a pending case. To accuse is the job of the justice department, the attorney general, special prosecutors etc.

It is 100% legal for Obama to be nominated and elected vice-president. It is unclear if he could serve a 3rd presidential term upon the exit of the president. Scholars debate this one.

Then WHY did Trump bring it up in his tweet from May 9th? Was it his function then?
