S'pouse this could also go in the golf thread, but I think he might just have gone and done it this time:

Driving his golf cart onto the green at Bedminster :o

This surely will not sit well with the Republican vote.

Trump pretty much admitting he lied in his tweet. Who the hell is that reporter anyway, if I were to guess, I would say she's from Fox. Even Melania looked jealous at how she was rocket polishing. "That was a very smart move" :ph34r:

This should be an impeachable event.

 Bernie and his wife, Jane, are under FBI investigation for bank fraud. 

Quote

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his wife, Jane Sanders have hired prominent defense attorneys amid an FBI investigation into a loan Jane Sanders obtained to expand Burlington College while she was its president, CBS News confirms. 

Politico Magazine first reported the Sanders had hired lawyers to defend them in the probe. Sanders' top adviser Jeff Weaver told CBS News the couple has sought legal protection over federal agents' allegations from a January 2016 complaint accusing then-President of Burlington College, Ms. Sanders, of distorting donor levels in a 2010 loan application for $10 million from People's United Bank to purchase 33 acres of land for the institution. 

According to Politico, prosecutors might also be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders' office inappropriately urged the bank to approve the loan. 

Burlington attorney and Sanders supporter Rich Cassidy has reportedly been hired to represent Sen. Sanders. And high-profile Washington defense attorney Larry Robbins, who counseled Libby "Scooter" Robbins, former Chief of Staff for the Vice President, is protecting Jane Sanders. 

Ms. Sanders' push for the liberal arts college's costly land acquisition was cited in a press release by the college when it shut down in 2016

Brady Toensing of Burlington, the man responsible for the claims filed to the U.S. attorney for Vermont, was a chairman for the Trump campaign in his state. 

"I filed a request for an investigation in January 2016 and an investigation appears to have been started right away," he said in an email to CBS News. "It was started under President Obama, his Attorney General, and his U.S. Attorney, all of whom are Democrats." 

"My only hope is for a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation," Toensing added. 

Weaver told CBS News that Toensing's claim that Sen. Sanders used his influence to lobby for the loan is a "political charge" that is "baseless" and "false." 

And as for the claim that Ms. Sanders manipulated the loan application, Weaver  said, "The loan was approved by the financial board at the college." 

Sen. Sanders, formerly mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, regards the claims as a political game levied against him after his run for president in the 2016 primary election, a platform which has transformed the small-state senator into an influential voice in American liberal politics.

It's amazing. What will the historians say? He is such a child. The whole story re attacking the MSNBC has been just so infantile and pathetic. He's a schoolyard bullying narcissist in charge of the red button.

Oh covfefe.

“Being rich or poor is a matter of choice; that’s all there is to it. So, let me ask you this, if 22 million people consciously make the choice to not work hard day in and day out, why on earth should the rest of us be concerned with whether or not they’re going to be healthy? If they choose to be poor, then it’s their own problem if they can’t afford to be healthy. 

Paul Ryan. White, middle class man from Wisconsin talks about poor people. There are no words to counter this kind of ignorance, and he leads the house of representatives.

That's frightening. It's a view demonstrated in policy in this country, but not vocalised quite so plainly. Or aggressively.

One day the working class will wake up and realise the power they have. Not just in the US either.

They'll find out just how powerful the state is too very quickly afterwards.
