Trump is talking again and it's pretty good

Trump just said "my father is German, was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany." Fred Trump was born in New York.

It really makes you wonder if Trump is getting senile or if he just can't help himself and lies every time he opens his mouth. Apparently, he says this one somewhat often:

"Don’t forget both of my parents were born in EU sectors, OK?" Trump said in an interview last July. "My mother was Scotland. My father was Germany."

Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in Scotland.

The Post noted that Trump also mentioned his father being from Germany while attending the NATO summit in Brussels.

"I have great respect for Germany; my father is from Germany," Trump said. "Both of my parents are from the EU, despite the fact they don’t treat us well on trade."

Senior White House official to @NYMag: “There will be plenty of unfavorable things about the president in the full report, which we think will eventually come out, so let’s not go overboard saying there’s no wrongdoing. Let’s move on.”

Woman with Chinese passports, malware arrested at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort

Secret Service agents arrested a woman at President Trump’s Florida resort this past weekend after she was found carrying two Chinese passports and a thumb drive with malicious software on it, according to court documents.

Prosecutors allege the woman, Yujing Zhang, first told security officials at Mar-a-Lago that she was there to go to the swimming pool, and due to an apparent language barrier, staff at the club thought she was a relative of one of the club’s members.

Once inside the grounds, Zhang allegedly told a receptionist that she was there for a United Nations event scheduled for later in the day about Chinese-American relations. No such event was on the schedule, so the receptionist called the Secret Service, according to court papers.

After Zhang was stopped and questioned, a search of her belongings turned up four cell phones, a laptop, a hard drive, and a thumb drive which contained “malicious malware,” according to the criminal complaint. The document says she told Secret Service agents that a Chinese friend instructed her to travel from Shanghai to the president’s Florida resort and make contact with a member of Trump’s family.

Authorities said despite her initial claim to be headed for the pool, she was not carrying a swimsuit.

Apparently connected to the Orchid Spa.

Wasn’t hard for Chinese spies to get close to this administration

NEW - At House GOP dinner tonight, TRUMP jabbed BIDEN:

"I don't know him well, but if I did I would call him and say 'welcome,'" to the race, one attendee recalled POTUS saying

Love it. I guess on the surface it doesn’t sound like a “jab”, per say, but Don is clearly the one with the upper hand and he absolutely knows it. That’s confidence, I’d say. Remember when people were calling him and all the potential GOP presidential “candidates” a “clown car”? Well - look where we are now. Look where we are now.

That makes no sense lol.

"Look where we are now"

... we have a 12 year old moonlighting as President?

People were laughing at Trump and all the candidates. Now Trump is President, is going to be re-elected President, and we have a boatload of crybabies, such as yourself.

@MWB tell me why the are entitled to this hearing please.

You’re not interested in a substantive conversation about this, so I’ll pass.

[dodint]

Alrighty.

I will proceed as if there is no possible justification given the most zealous advocate here for that position declines to raise an argument.

[MWB]

Ok, if that’s the way you’d like to interpret it. You have a habit of calling me out when an issue comes out on this and then saying you don’t really want to put in time to discussing it.

[dodint]

I don't feel like debating it, you're right. But I can't see any possible justification for fulfilling the demand so I was curious how you felt about it.

If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75% in value. And they say the noise causes cancer.

According to the source, Visser was sentenced to two to six months in jail and two years of probation. Kurczewski, who also pleaded guilty to one count of furnishing alcohol to minors, received three to nine months in jail and one year of probation. Bonatucci was sentenced to 30 to 60 days in jail and a year of probation. Sala received three to six months of house arrest and two years of probation. The men must also pay fines and perform community service, according to the source.

What a joke.

[Factorial]

This is a tricky case in my mind as the victim bears much of the responsibility for his own death.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

They force fed him alcohol, he fell down stairs, and they didn't take him to the hospital right away. Very negligent.

Wut?

"Darling, I want to watch television.' 'I'm sorry! The wind isn't blowing.' I know a lot about wind," he added.

He knows a lot about wind.

I don't disagree but he chose to join the frat and we all know what frats are like and do.
