You were used, you lying punk. Your new found Democrat buddies don't care about you which is obvious since they otherwise would not have put you in perjury peril again. You are a tool, and now you'll be discarded. Enjoy your new perjury charge, idiot.

GOP reps refer ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen to DOJ for alleged perjury during hearing

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-OH, and Mark Meadows, R-NC, said they sent a letter referring President Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen to the Department of Justice for perjury and knowingly making false statements.


The letter said, in part, that Cohen's testimony "was a spectacular and brazen attempt to knowing and willfully testify falsely and fictitiously to numerous material facts. His testimony included intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better on a national stage. Mr. Cohen's prior conviction for lying to Congress merits a heightened suspicion that he has yet again testified falsely before Congress."


This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Many of us don't really give a flying frack. Personally, I never believed the little creep from NK would come through, anyway.

I kind of figured something was awry when, in one "news" segment, there was Trump praising the fat little crazy kid with the bad haircut and talking about the possibility of a great future for NK, and the little asshole was over there looking around, grinning and laughing.

No matter. The little nutjob with delusions of grandeur can keep on watching his little fiefdom continue to wither and die.

Meanwhile: Time to reverse course in S. Korea and make sure our side of the DMZ is up-to-snuff.

Just like China. It will not too overly surprise me if they give all indications of going for a "mutually beneficial" deal, only to balk at the last minute. That's ok, too. The "trade war" is hurting them much more than it is us. It can be made to hurt more.

Frack 'em both.

Good news on the judicial front:

Schumer and his Dems are really in a bind. A yes vote makes them look crazy. A no vote guarantees them a primary challenge from a progressive who doesn't mind looking crazy. A present vote reveals them as cowards.

Quite the pickle.

These are high stakes and it would be nice if the country was united behind the President during the negotiations. I wonder how much the liberal rancor contributed to what ever did happen.

I'm glad Trump walked. I have faith in him Because he's Not a politician.

Para could simply rename it.

Not a chance

Trump is still the same guy he was before he was President. Even though we can all appreciate what he's done, particularly in contrast to the other person available, it doesn't change who Trump is.

Which arguably is exactly what Washington actually needed and still needs, a disruptor. I'd say it encourages anyone who wasn't there for the emergence of that thread to actually read it.

Trump is a first rate ass clown. Just what this country needed! One of the knocks on Trump when he was running for President was that he had never held a political position and didn't know how the system worked, another plus for the US of A.

The Assclown thread should be required reading. It gives a good feel for the community of the forum.

After finding out what happened my guess was "none." The funny-looking fat kid with the bad haircut thought he'd pull the same stunt with Trump that he and his predecessors has been pulling with every U.S. President before Trump: Threaten a bunch of violence, agree to negotiations, then get the West to concede everything while conceding little or nothing, himself. Little did li'l rocket boy know...



Now he's asking for partial sanctions relief in return for partial de-nuclearization. I imagine Trump will tell him to "go fish."

President Trump: Cohen ‘love letter’ book is perjury on a scale not seen before

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is shedding even more light on the abrupt ending to the second summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

During a conference in the Philippines Friday, Pompeo reaffirmed North Korea wanted full sanctions relief, but “lacked clarity” on what it was ready to do in order to dismantle the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.

The facility is the only known source of plutonium for the north’s nuclear weapons program, which Pyongyang has promised and failed to shut down several times in the past.

“They were pretty expansive with respect to what they are prepared to do at Yongbyon, but there was still not complete clarity with respect to full scope of what it is they were prepared to offer,” explained Pompeo. “It’s one of the reasons I hope we can get back, so we can put some definition around that.”

The U.S. secretary of state said the U.S. remains anxious to get back to the negotiating table to continue the next round of denuclearization talks.”

President Trump is killin' now at CPAC.

I’m watching the replay now. He’s off script and mostly ad-lobbing for two hours—his longest speech since president.

And watching the audience—anybody remember that PJ O’Rourke once laid down the axiom that if you want to know where the political action is, look for where the cute girls are.
Judging by the audience at CPAC, then, the Zeitgeist is definitely with the conservatives and their hero, President Trump.
