Name a Trump scandal that has been forgotten.

[Yavin4]

I'll go first. The firing of the Inspector Generals.

[coti]

1. Firing James Comey

[captain queeg]

2. The guy after Comey that he fired, McCabe I think?

A couple days before he retired.

[tblue37]

3. Less than 24 hours before retirement, I believe. nt

[Leghorn21]

6. He did, blue...and the first line of his opening statement after being fired was:

“I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City.“ which pretty much explains to me that dump knew exactly who he was when he became god help us all “president”, and had targeted him from the get-go.

He’s mob scum gdmt

[Leghorn21]

4. Fired Acting AG Sally Yates

[tblue37]

5. Withholding budgeted hurricane aid from Puerto Rico. nt

[Nevilledog]

35. Thanks for that Cha

Clive Palmer is essentially the forgotten man of Aussie politics. He tried hard to pervert justice by flinging his weight and money around. These days he is just a joke.

Mahalo

[Cha]

44. You're Welcime, canetoad..

I just found it quite by accident.. I saw the Sarah Cooper "How to medical" and realized trump's nothing but a "quack".

So I googled "twitter/trump's a quack" and that tweet came up.

Thank you for telling us about who Clive Palmer is.. I had never heard of him before.

[Under The Radar]

8. The Putin blow job in Helsinki

[Cha]

27. lol.. I'm bookmarking this thread!

[Zambero]

9. Trump University

Trump Foundation

[GReedDiamond]

10. ALL OF THEM...and counting...nt

[CatLady78]

11. Including Trumplet scandals?

https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2017/05/organizations-call-out-ivanka-trump-brand-over-labor-scandal/528747/

Following news that two labor activists went missing and another was arrested after investigating a Chinese company that produces Ivanka Trump shoes, numerous organizations have called for the president’s daughter to address the situation. “Ivanka’s brand should immediately cease its work with this supplier, and the Trump administration should reverse its current course and confront China on its human rights abuses,” Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee, said in a Wednesday statement. “For years, Ivanka Trump has ignored public reports of awful labor conditions at a factory that makes her shoes. Now, she must decide whether she can ignore the Chinese government’s apparent attempt to silence an investigation into those worker abuses.”

Indeed, this isn’t the first time the Ivanka Trump brand has been embroiled in a labor scandal. In April, an inspection by the Fair Labor Association found that workers in a Chinese knitting factory that makes clothing for the brand were being underpaid, receiving just $62 weekly for up to 60 hours of work, or a little more than a dollar per hour. All together, the factory was found to be in violation of two dozen international labor standards.

12. Stealing money from kids w/cancer

Oh and BTW being part of the biggest crime in the history of the United States of America
in helping Russia to rat fuck our elections too.

[grantcart]

43. Having his Foundation pay personal expenses including Barron's $12 Boy Scout fee

[Botany]

55. I thought the foundation was for paying bribes to people like Pam Bondi to not investigate ...

... his Trump University or to buy cheese ball paintings of the "tennis pro" Donald Trump.



$12.00 for his son's boy scout fees?!!!

[House of Roberts]

13. I believe it was Cohen that divulged that Trump offered Putin the penthouse

of his proposed Trump Tower Moscow. Bribing foreign officials is a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

[Xolodno]

14. Soon as I saw this thread...decided to make it a drinking game...

...damn people. Getting a serious wine buzz...

[Capt. America]

15. He said that John McCain was not a war hero because he was a POW.

He was the MFing Republican nominee and if Obama had said that he wouldn't have been elected.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

16. separating those kids from their families

and putting them in cages.

[Bev54]

17. Emoluments

[Bev54]

18. Khashoggi

[ecstatic]

21. +1. I really thought that would do him in.

How naive of me.

[JI7]

28. Has Trump said anything about Erdogan turning the Hagia Sophia into a Mosque ?

because i think Erdogan has something on Trump when it comes to Khashoggi .

[Xolodno]

31. Or at least on Jarred.

With this stunt, I bet Putin has a kill switch on the missiles he sold to Erdogan.

This was a major blunder by Erdogan. With negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia already thread bear, he just put a dagger in the back of of Kosovo. No way in hell the Serbs, who are Orthodox, will concede anything.

[Cha]

19. Important thread.. Bookmarked.. trump's a Quack..

20. Trying to set up a surprise meeting

between the parents of the motorcyclist who got killed in the UK with the woman who killed him and fled on her diplomatic passport.

[Ms. Toad]

32. Congratulations -

That's the closest of any in this thread to one I'd forgotten.

[ecstatic]

22. Permanently separated families. Kids and babies in cages. nt

[ecstatic]

23. Sending Ghouluani to Ukraine for quid pro quo. nt

[JI7]

25. The money raised for the inauguration

[ecstatic]

26. Collusion with Putin to win 2016 election. nt

[Music Man]

29. Sadly, I have to say the Russia bounty scandal.

That story does not seem to have taken hold, as offensive as it is. Granted, there's just so much in the news now, and it's early in the life of this story, so maybe it has legs.

[smirkymonkey]

37. +1000

I know, I have been very disappointed by this. It's terrible.

[grantcart]

39. Sending Bolton to Nepal so he couldn't interfere with his NK love fest oh and also

His NK Love fest

And his obsequious fawning over Kim

Then there is his bear hug to Kim who is the most anti Christian dictator while at the same time co opting Evangelicals (while buying a pornstar to keep quiet.

In the middle of this he wanted to move Seoul and it's ten million people because it is too close to the border.

His silence when Kim murdered a US student

On top of that there is the whole NK debacle but please don't get me started on that.

[Catherine Vincent]

70. That one. nt

[marlakay]

30. Melania not moving into the white house

For a long time, then we find out finally this year it was to redo her prenup, no surprise.

[grantcart]

40. Oh and remember Melania was going to have a presser to document her legal status?

[Skittles]

33. pussy grabber

[Yavin4]

34. Scott Pruitt at the EPA

That's one that everyone forgot.

[grantcart]

41. Rick Perry trying to get crooks onto the Board of Ukranian gas company

[grantcart]

42. Sec of Interior from Montana resigning in disgrace for bribes

[grantcart]

36. He killed tbe FBI campus deal which would have put up a competitive hotel

Next door to his

Caught red handed when emails from GSA appointee surfaced proving she lied to Congress and Trump killed a good deal that had bipartisan support and took a decade in the making

[Rstrstx]

38. Meredith McIver

Should have been a warning sign

[Kablooie]

45. There are no scandals.

Only delightfully colorful hijinks that amuse his followers, keep him in the headlines and creates the image of that charming, lovable character that so many Fox news watchers swoon over.

[Demovictory9]

46. charging the government for secret service to stay at his hotels

[Botany]

54. And the cost of rental for the golf carts too

That secret serviced used to protect his ass when he was out golfing.

[Demovictory9]

47. foreign govts and kiss assers booking stays at Trump hotels

[soothsayer]

48. Ivanka's emails

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/28/18116326/ivanka-trump-emails-hillary-clinton-gma

President Donald Trump’s daughter and an adviser to the president has found herself at the center of a controversy over her digital communication habits.

The firestorm kicked off in mid-November, when Carol Leonnig and Josh Dawsey at the Washington Post reported that Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails to aides, Cabinet officials, and her assistant using a private email account she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner. It was reported last year that Kushner had used a private account to conduct government business as well.

Revelations about Trump’s email use immediately drew comparisons to Clinton, who during her 2016 presidential campaign was dogged by questions about her use of a private server for emails as secretary of state. Donald Trump’s supporters on the campaign trail and to this day often chant, “Lock her up!” in reference to Clinton’s emails.

[duforsure]

49. I think the missile firing for Syria chemical weapons attack

Was a putin and trump staged event for trump by putin, another issue was his Yemen raid where he set the military up by doing the muslim ban right before the raid was started, knowing it would cause some to be outraged that were working with our service people , and could turn on them , which they did. The Khassoggi murder is another one, and I think trump was told before he was murdered what was going on , and did nothing . Between Kushner and our intel I think he knew before it happened. Just like trump was aware of Flynn talking about helping kidnap the guy living here in the states Turkey wanted , and knew what he was doing. When he's ousted there will be people dedicated to looking into everything trump and others have done, and the list will be unbelievably long.

50. Diverting 40 air force crews to Prestwick to refuel so they would stay at his Turnberry resort

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/12/air-force-trump-scottish-resort-1493624

[Mike 03]

51. Two, if they haven't already been mentioned:

1. Wilbur Ross is one of the biggest grifters in U.S. history, who according to a special report by Forbes magazine used his office time to meet with investment advisors about his portfolio.

2. One of the WORST: After an unmonitored phone conversation with Erdogan, Trump pulled our US troops out of Syria, condemning our allies the Kurds to slaughter at the hand of Turkish forces. After we pulled out, our abandoned bases were confiscated by Russian troops, who made videos of them exploring our bases and playing with the abandoned equipment of our troops.

[duforsure]

52. Another one

Who was behind threatening Stormy Daniels? I think Cohen is well aware of who was used to threatened her, and who approved it. Recordings ? Was trump wiretapping Cohen when he was released, or like putin does it have others not connected so he can deny it listening in. I've suspected trump is doing this , and has for some time to many others.

[sop]

53. - The entire Trump klan's trip to London, to dine with the Queen, and embarrass America.

- Trump's Glowing Orb ceremoney and sword dance in Saudi Arabia.

- Trump selling out the Kurds.

- Trump getting the US out of the Iranian Nuclear Agreement.

- Trump getting the US out of the Paris Accord.

(There's just too much stuff...)

[Vinca]

56. Let's make this easier. Name one that has been remembered.

Other than people keeling over and dying every day from his botched pandemic response, just about everything else is far, far in the background. Even the bounty on soldiers only got a couple of days coverage. It's true he really could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and it would be no big deal.

[Hugin]

60. +1

My sentiments, exactly. We're just sifting ashes now and have been doing so since prior to the BLOTUS's installation in office.

[dmr]

57. Diverting military planes to that Scotland airport to prop up not only

the airport but his Scottish golf resort, as well. Then buy fuel at a higher cost to taxpayers.

I forget the particulars. But it benefited the Trump organization.

[diva77]

67. I linked to an article on this in post#50

[FakeNoose]

58. Robert Mercer - Cambridge Analytica - using stolen Facebook personal data

Robert & Rebekkah Mercer are the RWNJs who funded Chump's campaign when he was almost out of money in the summer of 2016. They succeeded in getting Kelly-Anne Conway and Steve Bannon on Chump's campaign to basically run things to Mercer's liking. Whatever Russian collusion happened - happened during this time while Bannon, Conway and Paul Manafort were running things.

Cambridge Analytica (the data manipulation group) was quietly folded after completely messing up the UK's politics with the Brexit campaign AND messing up the USA with Chump. Nobody has ever answered these questions - Why does Robert Mercer want the same thing Vladimir Putin wants? Why are those two seemingly in political cahoots in both the US and the UK?

There's no way that Robert Mercer is a "useful idiot" for Putin, in the same way that Chump is. Mercer is somehow involved in a deeper conspiracy and nobody is following the money.

[Hugin]

59. What was the Mandarin Toddler doing yesterday? Golfing? There you go, $140 Million or so...

This singular crime in particular pisses off my SO while writing out tax payments this month.

Not to mention using AF1 as his personal campaign jet. The Golden-shower Quid-pro-quo may as well paint his bloated face on the tail.

[mnmoderatedem]

61. This whole thread is THE MICROCOSIM of why trump needs to be removed

I mean, take a look at all of the replies. The mind boggling part is that WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THESE SCANDALS! In other words, trump does so many stupid and scandalous things that, give him ten minutes, and he'll does something so stupid and scandalous that it will make you forget about the last stupid and scandalous thing he did. Any ONE of these scandals listed on this thread would blister any other president, but with trump it's just a flavor of the week.

More on topic, my entry is the idiot blurting out sensitive intelligence information to the Russian foreign minister in the middle of the oval office. Causing H.R. McMaster to desperately try to do damage control spin on the White House lawn.

I mean how the hell does something like THAT get forgotten?

But, it is the age of trump.

[Yavin4]

62. Jared Kushner working without a security clearance.

Because he could not get one.

[coti]

63. Paying off two women he had sex with the keep them quiet

An illegal campaign contribution

[AwakeAtLast]

64. The Military attack in Yemen

And his treatment of the wife of the fallen soldier.

My second choice was going after a Gold Star family during his campaign.

He doesn't like military families.

[Yavin4]

65. White House Secretary Rob Porter's resignation over domestic violence

https://www.npr.org/2018/02/09/584560321/trump-wishes-former-aide-well-after-accusations-of-domestic-violence

[Yavin4]

66. Lev Parnas, Rudy Giuliani, and Igor Fruman

The Trump-Ukraine scandal.

[diva77]

68. Giving an ambassadorship to a lying, lazy hotelier - Sondeman (or however it's spelled)

for $1 million.

[MotorCityBeard]

69. Mocking a handicaped reporter

It really, at this point, seems so minor and juvenile. When it first happened, though, I was really shocked and disgusted by that. I THOUGHT it would cost him some of his supporters, but no.

[dmr]

71. Not so much a scandal, but Donald said that the Continental Army

"took over the airports" from the British during the American Revolutionary War ...

His stupidity is scandalous, especially when our children hear him speak.
