****** BREAKING****** TRUMP MOVES NEWS CONFERENCE ON DIVESTITURE UNTIL JANUARY

[DemocratSinceBirth]

As per CNN

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Shocking.

So shocked that Trump doesn't want to talk to the media at this point.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Post-EC vote

[rzemanfl]

9. Exactly. n/t

[malaise]

3. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah off to the greatest page

They won't do anything - watch!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

4. Same day he will show his tax records!

HA -

[Maraya1969]

19. What I want to know is why haven't they been hacked like everything else. Besides the

fact that the hackers are on his side there has to be someone out there that can get to his returns.

If we find Russian interests in them he is toast.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

28. What makes you think they haven't been hacked?

They must make for some excellent blackmail.

[NYC Liberal]

36. The most recent reports say just that -- the RNC was indeed hacked,

but that material was never released. RNC claims they were only old emails, nothing to see....sure.

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/309915-report-russia-hacked-emails-associated-with-rnc

I have little doubt Trump's businesses were also hacked and there is blackmail material being held for use once he takes office.

[rzemanfl]

5. Well f**k. Why am I not surprised Orange Julius Caesar did this? n/t

[uponit7771]

6. I pray the hacking news is causing some kind of rift among the Band Of Bigots. On the other hand

... Benedict Donald is fuckin stupid and doesn't do questions too good.

[roamer65]

7. If the EC doesn't reject him now, they are morons.

[workinclasszero]

21. How much more proof do they need to see

from the Russian spy Trump???

[Afromania]

22. nobody

ever accused Americans of being too intelligent.

[Angry Dragon]

8. Did they mention what year??

[rzemanfl]

10. LOL.

[jmowreader]

53. 2025, I think

January 22, 2025. Perfect day.

[wishstar]

11. But media kept telling us how secretive Hillary was and she didn't have enough press conferences

Now that Dump hasn't had a press conference for about 4 months, I haven't heard a word from those main stream media reports/analysts who crucified Hillary for not being open enough

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

12. hmm

a). I'm not gonna be president so I ain't gonna do this shit
b). I was gonna just say "fuck you" during the press conference but now I may actually lose the EC

[CountAllVotes]

13. Agree! IF the EC does not act they too are not qualified

Six days before Donald Trump is set to announce a plan to exit operations of his company, former Republican officials and a conservative author who targeted the Clintons -- and has close ties to a top Trump adviser -- signed a letter urging the president-elect to put his business enterprises into a blind trust in order to avoid any suggestions that his decisions benefit him, a watchdog group said.

"We believe you need to act now to ensure that as president you will not have conflicts of interests or the appearance of such conflicts," says the letter, which Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington helped organize.

The signers include former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, former Minnesota governor Arne Carlson, former Rhode Island Rep. Claudine Schneider -- all Republicans -- and "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer, according to CREW.

"Ethics and conflict of interest rules and norms are not partisan or ideological issues," the letter says. "It has long been understood that these are safeguards to protect the integrity and credibility of government decisions and actions, and the interests of the American people."

[Maru Kitteh]

14. So in other words - never.

We will have to sue.

[Eugene]

24. Exactly. We've heard this song from the Dumpster before.

We're still waiting for his tax returns and Melania's press conference to explain her immigration status.

[roamer65]

15. I wonder if this means he is going to lose the EC vote.

They have to be keeping track and moving it till after a losing EC vote means he doesn't have to talk about it.

Something is going on...to quote Agent Orange.


Robert Reich said on Twitter he had 3 electors contact him over the weekend with concerns about Dump.

[CountAllVotes]

18. +1

Lord know that I hope you are right.

This is the worst crisis I've ever witnessed in my too long of a life!

& recommend. !!

[spanone]

16. yea, he's a chickenshit liar.

[msongs]

17. CA + Hi + OR + WA new nation....soon nt

[Leith]

20. Can Nevada Join?

pleeeeeeeze? At least Clark County?

[Silent3]

33. And NH and VT and MA and RI and CT and NY too?

Maybe even ME, NJ, DE, and MD? Maybe VA?

Let Trump rule over Dumbfuckistan.

[ALBliberal]

35. Count NM and Colo in!!

[bluescribbler]

39. Come on

Don't forget Massachusetts. We deserve to be in the mix. Yeah, we went for Saint Ronald in the eighties, but we've since learned our lesson.

[world wide wally]

44. Colorado too?

Pretty please? Can we join?

[Raster]

55. Arizona wants to play... we'll be California's New Jersey...

...We are going purple, on our way to BLUE!

[Thor_MN]

56. MN hasn't voted Red since 1972, which no other state can claim.

Only DC has been more reliably blue, but it isn't a state.

[madinmaryland]

62. Don't forget the District of Columbia. I think they vote

90% democratic.

[kentuck]

23. I wonder what happened to cause him to change the date?

I think some big information is about to break.

[Generator]

25. He will never conform to norms

Never. This is what dictators do. This is what Putin did. He changed dates of elections-installed someone friendly for a four years then amended the constitution so he could run again for two six year terms. But first thing he did was shut down the press. Watch for that first.

[uponit7771]

27. +1, "But first thing he did was shut down the press. Watch for that first."... the M$M here will ...

... allow him to do that because 99.95% of them have no courage other than their own ratings.

They spent 3 times as much on emails than on all issues involved ... buncha bastards

[world wide wally]

45. The press are the best friends he has

[Baitball Blogger]

26. I just don't understand why the Chinese doesn't hire hackers to tap into

his tax returns.

Fair is fair.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

52. Commies v commies

Cyber total warfare with the U.S. as battleground. They've figured out how stupid our general population is.

[Baitball Blogger]

57. Hey, we won't see major changes in our electoral system until we become the laughing

stock of the world.

[AlexSFCA]

29. this is bad news

I am afraid this might be an indication that Trump will play it safe till after electors vote. I really hope now that the vote is postponed until after thr investigation is complete which include trump's ties to russia and tax returns, etc. I think what a difference this time is bipartisan nature of investigation. Somehow I am not seeing republican leaders insisting that electors vote for trump.

Let's hope he gets trapped by republicans who oppose him (mos of them). After all they get to pick who they like instead of trump, lol.

[Ellipsis]

31. Or he's hedging his bets.

[Chakaconcarne]

40. I don't believe those pushing for investigation

Are serious about the truth getting out. I think its more that they crossed him or feel vulnerable and are blackmailing him.

[The_Casual_Observer]

30. He has no intentions to divest anything.

It will be a 2 minute "Press conference"
At most.
I suppose it might just be one of his prerecorded sermons instead.

[briv1016]

32. I expect it right around the time he releases his tax returns.

[Bettie]

34. Well, we all know he's not going to divest of anything

just think, with him as the example, all of his cabinet can just run their businesses and be cabinet members.

Congresscritters (as long as they are Republican) can do some cool insider trading and enrich themselves at our expense. After all, we're not only in a post-truth era, we're in a post-ethics era now.

[lpbk2713]

37. Knock me over with a feather.

He'll postpone it again in January.

[Barack_America]

38. What a joke. Pathetic.

[Maven]

41. Which means there will be no real divestiture

Or meaningful disclosure, ever

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. Surprise surprise surprise

Not

[SunSeeker]

43. Things just keep going from bad to worse....

[LW1977]

46. Can Minnesota at least join Canada?

We didn't vote for the GOP candidate since 1972.

[roamer65]

47. Michigan, too.

Our election was stolen.

[Calista241]

48. i suspect this is because he's working on a deal to divest part of his assets from the Trump corp.

I feel that the hotel in DC can't stay. and that's just a minimum.

[nolabear]

49. He's only going to do rallies, not face any critics.

[perdita9]

50. Can anybody hold Trump's feet to the fire?

Because his business links threaten the functioning of our entire government

[DemoTex]

51. As per Josh Marshall at TPM ..

He CAN'T divest.

[spanone]

54. still no press conference.

going on five weeks.

[benld74]

58. Not the 1st nor the last lie we will hear from him

[liberal N proud]

59. He has no plans to divest anything

[jimlup]

60. Trump moves news conference to "never"

because this guy can't even do his simplest homework.

Why oh why are we stuck with this idiot as PROTUS. I blame the Republicons and their idiotic voters.

[sarcasmo]

61. Kanye @ Trump tower used as a distraction.
