I want to know where Iran's economy is hiding and it's plain who needs to back to school.

Trump talks/writes like a middle school kid arguing about the best bands.

 

[thilanliyan]

Someone who speaks (and maybe reads) at a 4th grade level telling others to go back to school...right.

 

[sandorski]

Ignore the experts, only Trump knows things.

And Trump knows this how if he is not listening to the IC? Who whispers into Donnys ears?
Speaking of, did you guys catch that Melania was in that Putin talk yesterday - without any US officials? Whatever is going on Mel is read in.

Does that mean a House Committee could subpoena her to testify what was discussed?

I guess?
Would be Epic Trolling(tm) though.

It is how he feels. Screw your elite 'intelligence' community. Trump FEELS like Iran was making trouble all over the middle east but he saved us from them.

This is literally what conservatives mean when they talk about kicking the 'elites' out of govenment, they want how they feel to be the standard instead of knowledge, logic, or real information.

Yes, but whether she answers depends on what she is asked about. First Lady is not a government position, that is she is not an employee of the government. That being the case executive privilege is off the table. She is however immune to forced testimony as a spouse if questions would incriminate her husband directly. She will have to answer questions related to Putin however and what was discussed within the aforementioned restriction.

She can also reply with the 5th if she believes the conversation would create legal jeopardy for herself only.

If she fails to show she is subject to contempt. If she lies then she faces the same threats that Manafort has realized and others too.

Iran's official news agency announced the successful test of a satellite launch vehicle last week. It's public knowledge. Trump probably saw it on Fox. The rest of what Trump tweeted is the usual fear mongering bullshit.

 

[fskimospy]

Can we take a step back and marvel at just how fucking weird it is for the president to allow no members of the US government to witness his talks with our chief geopolitical adversary?

If he was trying to appear guilty I don’t know what more he could do.

 

[fskimospy]

Also, I feel like people underestimate just how likely a bullshit war with Iran is, especially if Trump realizes he’s losing the 2020 election.

 

[Stopsignhank]

It is almost like he is making this shit up.

I doubt that. It's just a rerun of the usual Ebil Ayatollahs routine of the last 40 years. Trump is firing off every flare of distraction he can as the inevitability of the Mueller report approaches.

Fox news. "Fair and balanced."

But "there economy" is in shambles!
