Asked about shifting explanations for statement on Trump Tower meeting, Rudy Giuliani tells @GStephanopoulos:
"This is the reason you don't let the president testify. Our recollection keeps changing, or we're not even asked a question and somebody makes an assumption."

"George, I really think you're missing the point: my client committed a LOT of crimes, he was basically a human crime wave at the head of a crime family. George, I was told I could get my parking validated."

(8,200 posts)Their goal is the establishment of an authoritative presidency with an symbiotic relationship with the oligarchy just as what was created in Germany under Hitler. The philosophy behind this is being advanced throughout Europe that is riding on the fears of immigration that it has cast as the scapegoat for their failed policies to address the massive changes that are taking place as he Industrial Revolution is in its last days. Our youth are facing a new age, the Information Age and artificial intelligence and automation affecting nearly every aspect of the work environment. Trump's promise to the least discerning of the citizens that he is going to return us to days of the height of the Industrial Revolution he is aware is pure fatasy. They are cannon fodder to be sacrificed. Good luck to our youth. We are failing to take any corrective action to prepare they for a new world order.

The world is changing. We have to change with it.
Trump is one of the last vestiges of the age of the industrial revolution.

Reagan did massive damage to America, broke US law, played dumb (and possibly had dementia on top of playing dumb) and is considered a national hero...
At least Brits have the decency - largely - to think of Thatcher as 'the bad old days'.

(34,136 posts)(Or special counsel, or whatever he was called.) He said when he interviewed Reagan about Iran-Contra it was clear that Reagan was not capable of remembering so he let it go.
What pissed me off was that he did not tell anyone at the time that the President was not competent to answer questions, therefore was not competent to hold the office. He just let it go, leaving this person of limited intellectual abilities stay in the office - a man who had already allowed his underlings to perform acts specifically against the expressed wishes of Congress.
Why that did not set off alarms at the time keeps me angry at Republicans to this day.

(1,639 posts)I would love for Trump's lack of brain to finally be the end of all this crap.
One problem: If he wanders off unseen, they will scramble to cover up. We need him on camera, with another world leader by his side. He turns and says, "Who are you? Why all the cameras? Am I opening another casino--[turns head head back over one shoulder] --What the Fvck?! Is that the White House? Don't tell me that I'm [insert offensive statement paired with outdated reference.]"
He could either indicate friendship with "current" President Reagan and blurt out how little he respects him, or he could indicate solidarity with "current" President Obama and call him the n-word. Anything to clarify that his mind is situated squarely in the past and his heart is filled with battery acid would be fine. It also has to be abundantly clear that any filter his brain ever had is GONE.

(11,563 posts)Vile nonsense at that, even based solely on the fact that it came out of the fetid word hole of this POS.
"There are a host of reasons, actually, but a lot of it comes down to the fact that he cannot be expected or allowed to testify, because he doesn't know what the truth is...or even what it means as a concept, really. Could happen to anyone."
