Ivanka Trump to receive classified information
The first daughter will also get a West Wing office, though she is not technically serving as a government employee.

- I think the left is overjoyed now, women are the future!robotron3k
- If she actually goes through the process to get a clearance I would be ok with that. As a gift would be bullshit.R_Kercz
- Why would she be given clearance if she hasn't been given a role in the administration? Sounds like this would require some explanation.monospaced
- robo, the bottom is underhyped?zaq
- what the actual fuck? he can have advisors whom have no actual say over anyone, but if she gets clearance and starts making orders fuck that.kona
- but to the trumptard stupid, it's just another hot piece of ass in the whitehouse and yay for women amirite!kona

Trump had criticized President Barack Obama for playing golf, but the White House says Trump uses his time at the links to get business done. Sometimes.
The White House on Monday defended President Trump's frequent golf-playing and trips to golf courses by suggesting that Trump — who previously had blasted President Barack Obama for his own golf habit — is getting actual presidential business done on the links instead of just working on his short game.
But White House spokesman Sean Spicer also said Trump's right to "privacy" is one reason that the Trump administration hasn't trumpeted the outcomes of his meetings on golf courses.
Trump has played golf at least 10 times since becoming president in late January, despite the fact that he teed off several times at his immediate predecessor Obama for indulging that very same hobby while in office.
"He played more golf last year than Tiger Woods," Trump said of Obama in December after being elected president.

- Bullshit meter has exploded.BusterBoy
- Let me tell you something about this golf myth that people get business done there. Its bullshit to the max. You never talk, everyone is focused on the game.sofakingback
- You might talk after at the bar. But there just isn't anytime to talk. You're always focused on something. Part of the game is being quiet so people can focus.sofakingback
- Also, Trump has now played more golf this year than Tiger Woods has played this year and last year. hasofakingback
- Indeed. At my last job the directors spent a shit-load of time playing golf for 'business'. Nonsense. It was all done over dinner and drinks after.face_melter

Let’s Revisit All Those Times Trump Surrogates Said You Can’t Elect Someone Under FBI Investigation.
Here we have a president under FBI investigation. How do you like that?
You know, not for nothing, but back in my day (2016) there was a lot of consensus opinion-having that merely being the subject of an FBI probe was a disqualification for serving as the leader of the free world.
Yep, if my dusty memories serve as any guide, then that was, at one point, a whole big thing that lots of people believed. And they especially believed it about then-presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
- but Obama played lots of golfmonospaced
- But trump plays the best golf. He plays the most wonderful golf I tell ya.pango
- what a time to be aliveRamanisky2
- I saw some guy online trying to say that it's not the same since Trump owns the golf course, and Obama had to pay membership or some other stupid shitmonospaced

Robo fuck off with your political trolling.
- He hates Obama and Hillary. and Oprah. Oh and thinks south east Asia isn't diverse. Because like Thailand and Indonesia are the same and all...inteliboy
- That's okay. I'Im talking about the cases when his shit escapes this thread and starts flooding the place:
http://www.qbn.com/r…sted - *freedom of speech on lock down*omg
- lol, omg still has zero grasp of what "freedom of speech" means and the fucking moron doesn't seem to realize that there's no infringement here at allmonospaced
- Lets note the effort of "speaking out" the discouraging choice here. Censorship by mob mentality being the campaign of harassment against unfavorable opinion.omg
- While intimidation towards someone into never posting again is not legally prohibited censorship, free speech is being violated.omg
- No it's not.monospaced
- You can say anything you want and you won't be put in prison. You're also free to be a bigoted asshole online, and others are free to hate on you. That's 'mercamonospaced
- Mouthing off in a place where nobody likes you, you're free to do that. Why you do it I don't understand, but you're free to. CLEARLY.monospaced
- Repeating a mantra to contain mainstream thought simply because you’re legally allowed to control what people say can be very dangerous.omg
- Not as dangerous or funny as the idea of Mono avoiding his pussy getting caught in the slammer for free speech. A good place for his sewage mouth.omg
- you have every fucking right to repost that video here with your wise insight. just check out what he started therested
- It would be a bit unjustified to make this a personal attack on robotron. Social commentary, opinion, cultural reaction to the video drew a picture.omg
- Posts with political intent are already designated for Politics. I would think we are all free to speak our minds outside of this thread and in public.omg

Lot of effort was put into this piece, getting the guy to talk, checking his story, and the translation what makes possible to share this. Read it please to get a better picture of what happens in Europe the US also. The guy isn't talking shit, and there are lots of facts backing up his allegations.
- Those emails tho...face_melter
- Wait. Fuck. That should go on the next one. BALLS!face_melter
- good article. I read it yesterday and wondered how long before he falls out of a window.Gnash
- Right. His name and photo are now all over the internets. Really fucking clever. He's got a death wish, hasn't he?Continuity
- Strange piece. Allegations of pre-'89 Soviet collusion with current Hungarian Security officials. His glossing over NGOs and Soros is very telling.IRNlun6

"President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests."

- A big point lost in all this anti-Russia hysteria is after the fall of the Soviet Union businesses flocked to and for Russia to compete in their emerging economIRNlun6
- yuri, your words, they make no sense againzaq
- I'm not yuri. How does my comment not make sense to you?IRNlun6
- Your comment seems to imply that Manafort was somehow involved in Putin taking advantage of the emerging economy politically to the tune of at least $750Kmonospaced
- In early 2000s, lobbying for Russian businesses wasn't frowned upon. Which undoubtedly benefit the Russian government including Putin at the time.IRNlun6
- lol holy shit you will excuse and ignore everything won't you?monospaced
- Business that benefits foreign gov is always scrutinized and often frowned upon and avoided. Also this was trumps campaign manager dude.monospaced
- It's like you're arguing that being a decade long business partner of Putin is okay in the us government.monospaced
- It's not an excuse. Lobbying for foreign businesses is shady but not illegal or uncommon. Guarantee you Dems had business interests in Russian as well.IRNlun6
- I guarantee there are no democrats in Trump's administration who had business interests with Russia going back decades.monospaced
- You still seem to think it's no big deal that there is a connection between the two men, in light of the accusations that they are connectedmonospaced
- He lobbied for Aluminum contracts. Of course he would present the contracts as a benefit to the Russian government.IRNlun6
- Why should this be looked differently from Democrat lobbyists working with Russia? Don't you think they presented contracts which benefited Putin's Government?IRNlun6
- Because they didn't get help winning a presidency for it.monospaced
- Senior Dems have been warning against finding any evidence for that allegation. So far, that's just not true.IRNlun6
