"Our failure to remain engaged in Europe and enforce the hard-won peace of 1918 had made that clear. There could be no more isolationism, no more tired resignation — no more ‘America First, '" McCain said.

McCain is consumed w hatred for President Trump

We have obamacare today because of John McCain

Does anyone have the story of how Manafort came to be Campaign Chairman?

I recall the announcement being greeted with some surprise. He doesn’t appear to have the background in domestic politics one would expect, although with Trump, many of his moves were ahhhh, unconventional.

Whose idea was it? How was he vetted?

I think it was as simple as all of the top campaign managers were either already taken or wouldn't work with a sure "loser" like Trump (meaning of course no one expected him to win). Someone said to Trump, "hey, here's a guy with lots of connections and whatnot" so he hired him.

That's how I imagine it went anyway.

March 29, 2016: Manafort joins the Trump campaign

The Trump campaign announced it had brought on Manafort, a veteran political strategist, to help the real estate mogul prevent delegates from bolting and choosing another nominee at the Republican National Convention in July. Although Trump led the Republican field in both votes and delegates, he was still unpopular among many Republicans, and it was unclear if he would end up with the necessary delegates to prevent a floor fight at the convention. Manafort was picked in part because he was instrumental in Gerald Ford’s successful floor fight in at the 1976 convention.

“Paul is a great asset and an important addition as we consolidate the tremendous support we have received in the primaries,” Trump said in a statement on March 29, 2016.

Manafort quickly got to work, ensuring the Trump campaign had a presence during the selection process and showing up to the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting in April.

remember those days ?

May 19, 2016: Manafort is promoted to campaign chairman

Manafort was later promoted from convention manager to campaign chairman and chief strategist. Manafort told ABC News that the Republican establishment was gathering behind Trump and acknowledging his likely nomination. “There’s a growing number of people supporting us,” he said. “They all recognize now that we definitely can win.”

One month later, Manafort’s influence within the campaign appeared even more cemented after Trump fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, with whom Manafort had a well-documented power struggle.

Lewandowski just yesterday said the FBI never informed him or Donald Trump there was an investigation ongoing about Manafort

Manafort was widely seen during the RNC convention, holding daily briefings for the media and defending Melania Trump after she was accused of plagiarizing Michelle Obama in her convention speech.

August 19, 2016: Manafort resigns

The Trump campaign announced Manafort was resigning from the campaign, nearly 5 months after he joined.

“I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process,” Trump said in a statement. “Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.”

The Trump campaign provided no reason for Manafort’s resignation. But in the days immediately leading up to the announcement, the New York Times reported investigators were looking into $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments to Manafort from former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, and the Associated Press reported he helped a pro-Russian party in Ukraine funnel money to lobbying firms in Washington, D.C.

so Muellar's work was already done in August 2016

lobbying firms = Tony Podesta

This is rich, John Podesta whines about Trump lying, him being a victim and all.

in the "first charges filed by Muellar.." thread I posted a link to a 2012 Lobbying Registration form where the Podesta Group was representing Uranium One with an affiliation to a Russian company.

Very effective on weak-minded people

Consumer confidence hits highest level since December 2000

Consumer confidence rose to 125.9 in October, according to the Conference Board. The rating is at the highest level since December 2000. This accounts for Americans' views of current economic conditions and their expectations for the next six months.

Consumers were even more optimistic in October than economists polled by Reuters expected.

The index "increased to its highest level in almost 17 years," Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board, said in a statement. That was in December 2000, when the index hit 128.6.

The surge in confidence comes at a time when U.S. share prices have hit record highs. Stocks have been lifted by strong economic growth, a surge in corporate earnings and increasing expectations of tax reform. On Tuesday, stocks traded slightly higher, near all-time highs.

Thousands Protested Trump Last November In Rally Organized By Russia

Last November, a few days after the election, thousands of people gathered for a rally in New York to protest Donald Trump

Chanting “Not my president!”, the crowd set off up Fifth Avenue under heavy police escort. A call-and-response developed, protesters chanting: “Whose streets? ‎Our streets!”…

this particular protest was organized on Facebook by a Russian group calling itself BlackMattersUS, which many people mistakenly assumed was some kind of Black Lives Matter offshoot

The demonstration in New York City, which took place a few days after the election, appears to be the largest and most successful known effort to date pulled off by Russian-linked groups intent on using social media platforms to influence American politics.

Sixteen thousand Facebook users said that they planned to attend a Trump protest on Nov. 12, 2016, organized by the Facebook page for BlackMattersUS, a Russian-linked group that sought to capitalize on racial tensions between black and white Americans. The event was shared with 61,000 users…

The BlackMatters organizing group was connected to the Internet Research Agency, a Russian “troll farm” with ties to the Kremlin

Facebook has identified the Internet Research Agency as the group responsible for purchasing 3,000 political ads on Facebook’s platform and operating 470 accounts that appear to have attempted to influence the perspectives of Americans during the 2016 elections.

This CNN "reporter" asks perhaps the stupidest question in the history of the Presidency.
And Sanders has the best possible answer.

No doubt about that.

Nikki Haley tells United Nations: You're not the boss of U.S.

Ambassador Nikki Haley blasted the United Nations Wednesday in a defiant speech to the 193-member General Assembly before it adopted a resolution calling for an end to the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba.

Haley called the long-standing debate “political theater.”

“Let’s be honest about what we really see going on here,” Haley said. “This assembly does not have the power to end the U.S. embargo. It is based in U.S. law, which only the United States Congress can change.”

The United States voted Wednesday against the U.N. resolution condemning the American trade embargo against Cuba after abstaining last year, during the administration of Barack Obama, for the first time in 25 years.

The vote served as just the latest sign of a renewed chill between Washington and Havana since a string of bizarre sonic attacks against American diplomats in Cuba. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump’s administration kicked nearly two-thirds of Cuba’s embassy personnel out of the United States after pulling many U.S. diplomats from the American embassy in Havana out of concern for their health and safety.

While the State Department has not accused Cuba of being behind the incidents, many Latin America experts and Cuban-American officials in government see no way that the government in Havana is not at least complicit. In any event, U.S. officials say Havana is responsible for the safety of foreign diplomats on its soil under the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations.

Haley said the United States is opposing the resolution in solidarity with the Cuban people “and in the hope that they will one day be free to choose their own destiny.”

“Each year, this Assembly’s time is wasted considering this resolution,” Haley told the assembly. “And the United States is subjected to all manner of ridiculous claims – anything to deflect attention from the regime that is actually responsible for the suffering of the Cuban people.”

Cuban officials called Haley’s remarks “disrespectful” and charged that she didn’t have the moral authority to criticize the island nation.

She also said she wanted to clear up any questions about why the United States would change its vote on the same resolution just a year later. She acknowledged some will not understand how the United States “could passively accept this resolution last year and energetically oppose it this year.”

“To those who are confused as to where the United States stands, let me be clear: as is their right under our Constitution, the American people have spoken,” Haley said. “They have chosen a new president, and he has chosen a new ambassador to the United Nations.”

Trump calls on Congress to terminate the Diversity Visa Program

Nov. 01, 2017 - 5:06 - MAGA Coalition chief strategist Sebastian Gorka on why Congress needs to eliminate the Diversity Visa Lottery Program.

We all like to remind ourselves that Clinton is not president, and then thank whatever higher power you believe rules the universe, or you thank 60 million American voters.

Here is a very recent video of Clinton w Noah Trevor

https://youtu.be/mkcKDY50hLs

If you ever feel that the "thank you" is wearing thin, try watching the video. It will renew your amazement that this wind bag ever got so close.

A classic Clinton line "I think most serious people understand that"
