Cable Forum - U.S President: Donald Trump

At least someone on Fox News has got the courage to call out the uranium fake news story so beloved of Trump and his followers. Congratulations to Shepard Smith.

Quote:

He then played a video of Trump’s version of the “scandal” in which he claimed:
“Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia. Well, nine investors in the deal funnelled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.”
Smith called the statement “inaccurate in a number of ways,” noting that “the Clinton State Department had no power to veto or approve that transaction.” Rather, it must be approved by an interagency committee of the government consisting of nine department heads, including the Secretary of State.
Most of the Clinton Foundation donations in question, he pointed out, came from Frank Giustra, the founder of the uranium company in Canada. But Giustra, Smith noted, “says he sold his stake in the company back in 2007,” three years before the uranium/Russia deal and “a year and a half before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state.”

Why not watch Hannity lay out his case personally, for comparison, and make your own judgement?

Personally, I think there should an enquiry into this this, just as there is with potential Russian collusion.

Oh dear, looks like more sexual allegations are afoot, more sexual perversion again from the Democrat side.

Quote:

Democratic Senator Al Franken has been accused of sexual assault as the national discussion about sexual harassment moves to the US capitol.

Leeann Tweeden, a morning news anchor for a Los Angeles radio station, claimed in an article for 790 KABC that Mr Franken kissed her and groped her without her consent during a tour through the Middle East.

There are reports as well of him groping (or pretending to) the woman while she was asleep.

Al Franken is a prominent Democrat and strong critic of President Trump, his following tweet did not age well from only a few weeks ago when the allegations of Moore came about, I have copied it to the following picture of him appearing to grope the woman while asleep.

Al Franken should go obviously, rumours are that he'll resign.

Although I think it's a bit inconsistent to rightly believe the women accusing him and to dismiss the allegations against Moore especially when more women are coming forward and people at the mall say he was banned from it because of his behaviour.

But Al Franken, can't really escape the fact there is a picture of him being caught in on a dreadful act.

I think personally, Moore should step aside. He does not want to get voted in to a Senate seat, only to face the music there, with such a dark cloud hanging over him.

Buy one legal defeat, get another one free! Trump transgender and immigration policies meet legal defeat
The Trump administration has suffered twin legal defeats on its immigration and transgender policies.
A California judge permanently blocked a presidential order to cut funding from US cities that refuse to co-operate with immigration officials.
And a Maryland judge blocked the administration's ban on transgender people from serving in the military.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

A California Judge. How surprising, not.

Trump Administration is fighting the Sanctuary cities funding ruling as it should, the President has executive authority over immigration in the United States, that’s in the Constitution. So Trump only needs to go to Supreme Court. It is crucial to note that in Phoenix, when Sanctuary city funding ceased, was one of a few factors in the murder rate dropping.

There is no such thing as Sanctuary City funding, so it couldn’t have been stopped in 2008 - the Trump EO was to stop Federal Grants and other funds to cities they classified as “sanctuary cities".

btw, crime dropped in most major US cities, including other "sanctuary cities", between 2008-2015...
