None, he just thinks it'll trigger liberals and it's a good distraction from the million other things blowing up in his/the administration's/country's face.

I do think it's hilarious whenever celebrities etc. try to act like they know anything about stuff like prison reform. Seriously, what is KK even saying in that meeting? lol

So I guess other than the disproportionate influence wealth/fame gets you and that most people with one or the other know each other/are connected in one way or another, probably not.

I do think it's hilarious whenever celebrities etc. try to act like they know anything about stuff like prison reform. Seriously, what is KK even saying in that meeting? lol

What makes you think you know anything more than her? Because of your preconceived ideas of who she is?

Have you gone into the slums of LA to talk to actual homeless people about how they ended up homeless, what impacts their criminal history has had their lives, and how they're struggling to get back on their feet due to minor convictions years ago?

Kim has.

I do think it's hilarious whenever celebrities etc. try to act like they could handle being president.

I never said I was an expert. But I’d be willing to bet Trump could find 10 people more qualified than she and I combined within 20 miles of the White House daily.

Agreed. But "Trump meets with policy makers to talk about prison sentences" does not make as many headlines as "Trump meets with Kim K."

Kim isnt writing policy. Publicity and the public push for policies to be made by professionals (unfortunately they're fighting a bigger lobby funded by private prisons and led by fuckface Jeff Sessions).

kim got famous for releasing a sex tape with brandy's little brother.

Neither of them should be in the oval office.

kim has a net worth of 175 million and is a successful businesswoman. seems pretty savvy to me

her mother released the sex tape. exploited her children and signed them to an opportune tv deal with E at the height of the reality tv wave.

kim has done nothing to warrant any respect as a human being what so ever.

Her mother is the smart one. Kim was the figure head.

Trump got rich because of his dads fortune.

yeah hence the neither of them should be in the oval office comment

she could be the worst human being ever, but she has millions of followers and lots of influence. Imagine if she were to tweet something about the elite or pizza gate. MSM would implode.

200 feet.

Good man...wish more people would prefer the truth instead of repeating the same echo chamber talking points

She doesn't have to say anything. There is a photo of them together that both will spin to serve their own purposes and that is 90% of what happened here.

No. The Cabal is just watching us destroy ourselves. They don't have to do anything anymore. The NWO is complete.

Would you disagree? All they did was set up the system. We're the suckers crashing with it? They literally printed and released documents about their plan and still the public just goes with it.

I'm not saying it's hopeless and the world is ending. Never does. But. You don't think passive manipulation was their end game? As long as we stay on their financial system and follow their morals. They win.

Oh now I get it. New World Order from WWE. Haha. Yeah. Ya know. Enjoy your time I suppose. The world shall never end, but it can be oh so much more uncomfortable. Should you find yourself where most will.

D'Souza is a wife beating,lying piece of shit.

During a emotional divorce his wife claimed he karate kicked her in the head. That's pretty crazy.

He is a conservative speaker, writer, and film makers. I guess that is why you call him a liar.

He was on probation for going over the allowed campaign contribution by about $5000 and accused of trying to set up strawman contribution to get $20k through.Which he claimed innocence. All by the Obama admin who he criticized heavily.

Which he claimed innocence

No, he pled guilty and stated that he knew he was breaking the law.

During the plea proceeding, D’SOUZA admitted before the Court that he caused two close associates to contribute $10,000 each to the Long Campaign with the understanding that he would reimburse them for their contributions and that he did reimburse them. D’SOUZA also admitted that he knew that what he was doing was wrong and something the law forbids.

Thanks for beating me to the punch.

It was a plea agreement. By taking a plea deal you are by threat admitting guilt instead of going to trial where you could be railroaded and face decades in prison.

If you read into the story more he contended through the whole thing that he was a victim of selective prosecution by the Obama admin.

Even if it was "selective prosecution" They selectively prosecuted a guilty person. A valid defense to a crime isn't to say "but the liberals do it too and they aren't all getting thrown in jail!" Claiming selective prosecution is admitting that you broke the law but you don't think you should be charged because there are other people also breaking that law without being charged. But "guilty guy plays the victim" is pretty funny.. what a cuck!

The horror.

He pled guilty to the strawman donations, hence why he needs a pardon.

So are you going to claim anyone convicted under the Trump​ Administration, who criticise Trump, should be let off, even after pleading guilty?

What is wrong with all the mindless Trump​ apologists? Does "No man above the Law" mean anything to you anymore? This guy knowingly broke the law and pled guilty to it.

Why are you diminishing your argument with ridicule and insult? You were doing so good. LOL

When the DOJ of the presidential administration you have been criticizing heavily goes after you you are kinda of just fucked and should take whatever lenient plea deal they offer so you don't get water boarded.

So should we care when someone knowingly committed a crime or not? If they criticise Trump​ and get prosecuted by "his DOJ" then it must be Trump​ being corrupt? Conversely when "his DOJ" convict his campaign staff, no one can claim unfairness?

Trump​ bringing waterboarding back?

D'Souza is a wife beating, lying piece of shit.

Don't see anything about him objecting to the claim he beat his wife, can't find anything about it either.

Looks like he's said/done some other pretty shitty/shady things to me. Also a bit of a hypocrite.

the Abu Ghraib scandal, for example, was actually the fault of liberals because the soldiers who enacted the despicable acts, Lynddie England and Charles Graner, were divorced, sex-crazed partiers who were therefore “act[ing] out the fantasies of blue America.”

Pretty rich coming from the man who got engaged and was allegedly sleeping with another woman while both were still married.

On May 20, 2014, the day the trial was to begin, D’Souza pleaded guilty to the illegal campaign contribution charge (taking the second charge off the table) and professed to take responsibility for his actions. The next few months would be critical, as the judge would be deliberating on the appropriate sentence. The moment called for humility. D’Souza enlisted 27 people—colleagues, friends, and family members in India—to write to the judge on his behalf. While they got busy attesting to his remorse, he began publicly conveying just the opposite. Brafman begged his client to keep his mouth shut, but D’Souza couldn’t resist.

What a nice forthright guy. Especially when he asked the judge to suspend his sentence so he could go on tour promoting a movie first.

thanks for this. I was unaware of this guy and his background besides seeing his name floating around

Now you see why trump is a fan

Generally an inflammatory dickhole for the purpose of being one and uses the cover of an occasional accurate bit of insight to use it all to make money on books and tv hits.

Dont cut yourself on that edge little lefty.

Don’t hurt yourself thinking of an actual argument not ad hominem nonsense bud.

Whats that? all i hear is ReeEEEEeee

I’m sorry. I confused you for someone with a working brainstem. But yeah making random noises is just as good as responding to what I actually said.

He could literally do anything and it would “trigger” liberals. They are the most trigger prone folks on earth.

Conservatives think Gays getting married ruins their marriage and that there's a war on Christmas....Americans are easily triggered and thin skinned, not just liberals.

No one said anything to the contrary bud.

My God how this sub has degraded.

November 2016 was the mass triggering.

Scott Adams believes that it caused a serious mental health crisis on the left.

He also says to prepare for more when Korea announces peace on the peninsula.

Oh yeah November 2016 was the Ultimate Triggering. It’s when the more extreme leftists completely lost their mind.

Low effort attempt at distraction from the real shortcomings and crimes of this presidency.

And what "crimes" would that be?

How many guilty pleas are we up to?

At least that many plus whatever comes from the pending and sealed indictments.

You said crimes of this presidency. I don't think russians buying facebook ads or someone who committed fraud years before can be counted as "crimes of this presidency".

Changed presidency to administration for ya.

But none of the charges stem from acts committed during anyone's time as part of the administration.

The dude's campaign manager has been caught laundering money. His national security advisory been caught taking bribes from foreign governments in exchange for affecting our policies. His personal lawyer, and the RNC's deputy finance chair has been caught selling access to the president as without registering as a lobbyist.

But heyyyyyyyy I'm sure they were all low level people not connected with the administration or the president in any way. lol

So Trump pardoning D'Souza was to distract from process crimes that had nothing to do with the Trump Presidency? Something about your logic just doesn't check out. That shit might fly in r/politics, but not here.

Yes, being selected by Trump to be the nation's national security advisor, then influencing president Trump based on bribes you took from foreign governments has nothing at all to do with the Trump presidency.

Totally logical, what was I thinking?

influencing president Trump based on bribes you took from foreign governments has nothing at all to do with the Trump presidency.

Explain yourself then, because this sounds a bit like anti-trump hysteria bullshit to me.

He's surrounding himself with criminals in positions of high power. We may have to agree to disagree on whether this is an issue.

A team of lawyers could find process crimes and technicalities on any halfway prolific businessman. Its telling that the crimes Mueller has found have nothing to do with the Trump Campaign or Administration. To me it looks like they are trying to give the investigation legitimacy with these inconsequential crimes, and it seems to be working on some people.

I disagree that our National Security Advisor secretly accepting payments from foreign governments to affect our military policy abroad is a crime of process/technicality.

If that was something that actually happened then you might have a point. In my opinion, you should carefully consider the fact that you are being subjected to propaganda before you decide to believe unsubstantiated bullshit because it confirms your biases.

I get why so many people are rabidly anti-Trump, and its because of shit like this. Propaganda is an incredibly powerful tool.

Flynn has admitted to lying to the FBI about taking $530,000 during the Trump specifically to represent Turkish interests should Trump become president.

Are you saying the FBI, Flynn, and bank records showing the transaction are all propaganda?

Flynn has admitted to lying to the FBI about taking $530,000 during the 2016 campaign specifically to represent Turkish interests should Trump become president.

lol how many fake r/politics propaganda pieces do you have up your sleeve?

I will help you out: Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements that he did not discuss sanctions with the Russian Ambassador.

The other stuff is just bullshit propaganda.

So Flynn, the National Security Advisor hire by President Trump lied to the FBI about meeting with Russians and Discussions sanctions yes or no

There ya go, I'm so proud! Yes, Flynn lied about discussing sanctions with the Russian Ambassador.

So the Trump presidency did commit a crime?

No.

So in your mind, a member of the Trump team selected by Trump (and you admit committed a crime) isn't a part of the presidency?

Flynn made a bad decision, lied to the VP about it, and was fired for doing that. No, that isn't a crime of the President because Flynn did that without Trump's authorization or consent.

And you're also cool with our national security advisor secretly accepting payments to advocate for foreign countries?

And you're also cool with our national security advisor secretly accepting payments to advocate for foreign countries?

There you go again, you just can't help yourself! As I said before, this is bullshit propaganda and you should be more skeptical of the sources you use for news, because they are manipulating the way you think.

You're saying documents submitted by Flynn's own team are some how fake and he is waging a propaganda war against, uh, himself?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/08/michael-flynn-received-530000-from-turkish-client-during-trump-campaign/98917184/

The new documents show Inovo wrote six-figure checks to Flynn's firm in September and October as he served as a top national security aide on Trump's campaign. The final payment of $145,000 came on Nov. 14, 2016, just days after Trump captured the presidency.

No, I'm saying that Flynn was lobbying as a foreign agent, which is completely legal believe it or not. USA Today is trying to manipulate you into thinking that this is somehow unusual and potentially illegal, when its not. It looks like they succeeded.

That you think it is okay for our national security advisor to be an active lobbyist for a foreign agent is pathetic.

You could have just said that without linking the shady propaganda story. The truth is that he was covering his ass by registering as a foreign agent. He was actually lobbying for a Dutch firm but he was concerned that it could be construed as lobbying on behalf of the Turkish government through some tenuous connections. Probably a smart move on his part, since he has had a target on his back.

"actually happened" didn't Flynn plead guilty for lying to FBI about this exact issue?

"actually happened" didn't Flynn plead guilty for lying to FBI about this exact issue?

No.

"Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty Friday to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russia's ambassador and disclosed that he is cooperating with the special counsel's office."

Don’t leave the part out where the laundering took place years before the campaign. Kinda important lol

How many guilty pleas are we up to?

Five? Six?

None of them are from Hitlery Killington, though. Sad.

smart criminal vs. dumb criminal

I'm sorry, WHAT?

Donald J Trump ispresident of the United States and having meetings to discuss policy with Kim fucking Kardashian?

The world is so broken. Maybe the UK will vote Simon Cowell in as PM, who can then discuss foreign policy with the goddamn Spice Gitlrls or something.

It’s just like when Obama invited Matt Damon to the W.H. and many other celebs. It’s not new or anything.

Not new, but still broken.

At least the people you mentioned have a career in something other than having a gigantic arse.

Although I don’t like Kim Kardashian, she does have a career and the whole Kardashian clan are pretty smart. I don’t see their show but I’ve actually read up on their successes. The fact that they’ve had a successful reality TV series for the last 15 years outta say something.

The fact that they’ve had a successful reality TV series for the last 15 years outta say something.

What's it say about her qualifications to discuss prison reform policy?

https://www.popsugar.com/news/Why-Did-Kim-Kardashian-Meet-Donald-Trump-44892782

Wrong

https://enoughproject.org/upstanders/celebrity/george-clooney

How am I wrong? Clooney isn’t a politician, he’s a celebrity. Just because he has organizations, that has nothing to do with what I talked about in regards to Obama and having celebrities meet him at the White House.

You can almost say his acting work is secondary to his humanitarian work at this point.

Its not the meeting. Its the effect on policy.

Pretty sure none of them were there to discuss policy. Feel free to correct me though.

“President Barack Obama and pop superstar Shakira are talking about U.S. policy toward children at the White House.”

http://www.today.com/id/35524376/ns/today-today_entertainment/t/obama-shakira-meet-white-house/#.WxAKbspMGhA

First link, I don't think you actually read. "Obama and the Colombian entertainer met briefly after she had meetings with staff from the National Security Council and the Domestic Policy Council to talk about early childhood development."

And you second link has nothing to do with the conversation, it's just pictures with celebs, big deal.

Actually click on the pics. Clooney met with Obama to talk about Sudan.

Also, want to know the reason why she met with Trump? Maybe if you actually read this article, you’ll understand why.

https://www.popsugar.com/news/Why-Did-Kim-Kardashian-Meet-Donald-Trump-44892782

As if Clooney’s humanitarian work is on par with that airhead’s ideas on prison reform. The man has actually worked towards his goals while this dumb bitch just found someone trashy enough to let her in the front door.

Did you even read the article of why she met with him or are you just talking out of your ass? Maybe if you actually read the article, you would understand. How many people met with Obama and talked about their own concerns and agenda? Give me a break.

I think what /u/socalfive is trying to communicate is "TRUMP!!!! BAD!!!!! (spittle)." He is, admittedly, confusing the message with pretend rationales.

“I love trump pardoning campaign finance criminals! law and order!”

-you

Absolutely! If lefties don't have to obey campaign finance laws, then I would pardon all non-lefties who got prosecuted as a matter of course.

Man, the left does not like it when their opponents play by the same rules, not one bit.

At least you admit to being a partisan bootlicker who supports criminals.

Non-partisan if you please. No prosecuting some people for crimes while others get the nod+wink.

Clooney is likely a CIA asset.

Actually click on the pics. Clooney met with Obama to talk about Sudan.

Isn't Clooney's wife a UN ambassador?

Member when Gaga shook her booth for Hillary and Bill? What a proud American moment.

I thought it was an onion article when I saw it

Yeah, she belongs nowhere near the whitehouse.

The world isn’t “broken” you just don’t understand it

Law an order president hiring criminals and pardoning them.

Lol are you aware of how many people and the kinds of people bush obama and Clinton pardoned...

Well, he's a film maker, and she has a sex tape?

heh

Everyone loves a good comeback story.

It's a way to highlight more hypocrisy.

Everyone can laugh that a whore Kardashain is talking to the President about legit issues this country has. "Why is she there?!" When a lot of the people who find it laughable are the same people who love how many celebrity friends Obama and the Clintons have. And they love to hear celebrities opinions on political and social issues.

Also, the pardon for D'Souza means Rosie's in the clear, even though it appears she was never going to get in trouble.

Trump and Rosie feud goes back decades, via Stern show. Trump pardons Dinesh out of left field. Media goes in a frenzy overshooting criticism of his campaign donation violations. Rosie is suspected to have done the same. Trump’s 69D chess move shows liberal media bias.

... is one interpretation of this episode.

Why the FUCK is the leader of the free world meeting with a old porn queen?

JFK was a prolific whore-hopper, but nobody cared as long as the nukes stayed in the silos.

Family? They were, and are, all degenerates. Whore-hoppers, bootleggers, Nazi sympathizers, insane-os, drunks, dopers..you name it. Oh, and murderers.

Do some research, Bubbles. That whole clan is fucked-up.

Midas roll,'nother ho(le)

Probably a distraction from the Mexico/Canada/EU tariff shitshow.

More votes, Duh!

Who gives a shit if it's Kim k or anyone else, at least he's talking about prison reform which is a good thing.

There's literally a post several up from here talking about how we have the largest prison population in the world...and now your all whining bc someone wants to fix it.

Who gives a shit who it is.

I would wholeheartedly agree with you if I didn't already know it's all a WE style shitshow.

As if Clooney’s humanitarian work is on par with that airhead’s ideas on prison reform. The man has actually worked towards his goals while this dumb bitch just found someone trashy enough to let her in the front door.
