Trump announcing his stupid Cuba policy right now in Miami, and it's cringe-inducing. Christ, he's such a f'n clown.

Next stop, Alabama to introduce his anti-incest campaign.

Crooked Hill Road seemed like any other average American street name.

At least it did, until President Donald Trump coined his epithet for campaign rival Hillary Clinton: “Crooked Hillary.”

With the moniker being only three letters away from the name on the Crooked Hill Road exit sign, the opportunity to add some characters must have been just too tempting for someone.

Debbie Werba snapped some photos of the sign Wednesday morning while heading south on Sagtikos Parkway in New York. And if you want to add an extra dash of irony, the exit is right before the Long Island Expressway — also known to locals as LIE, something Trump and Clinton both frequently accused each other of telling during the campaign.

He just mentioned the last administration's "terrible and misguided deal" with Cuba. So yea, this is clearly just about sticking it to Obama by reversing his policy. Nothing more.

That lawyer can hire a lawyer too, then that lawyer can hire Cohen, so any questions can be referred into an infinite loop.

There's so many leads here.

One forgotten one is how it appears Trump would potentially look for profit in the Ukranian war with Russia (from February 19th):


https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/1....co/36O1wgNRk7

It was freely admitted by Felix Sater (Trump's right hand man for many years, also a known member of Russian mafia), Trump's attorney friend Michael Cohen, and Android Artemenko (Ukranian "Donald Trump" Putin puppet) were looking for a back channel to end the conflict.

Now why would three people who've been indicted/convicted of embezzlement with Russian ties want to end a war in Ukraine???

Dems need to stop saying Trump needs to stop tweeting.. 90% of his problems are due to his tweeting, and the more he tweets and causes issues the more it slows down their legislative agenda!

On the other hand, the Dems saying he needs to stop tweeting will likely make him want to tweet even more, and dig a deeper hole for himself.

I can't find it now but there was an article this morning where, when reached for a comment on Trump's latest tweet, an anonymous senior white house official responded "Jeez, can't someone read him his miranda rights?"

Trump's response would be something along the lines of:

"Miranda? Who's Miranda? Is she hot? How old is she? I should go grab her . . ."

Or more down the conspiracy path, it could be about keeping the hotel competition out of Cuba until his business can start making foreign deals again after his presidency.

Ironically, Trump will probably end up wishing he had lost the election so that none of these investigations would have happened. He's been a sleazy d-bag insulated by lawyers for decades, but the same bullying tactics that let him skate by in private life don't work when held to the higher standard of the presidency.

Well, he's already defeated Isis, drained the swamp, created billions of jobs, built a wall etc. So time to do some other stuff.

But, here's a reach. If they freeze out Cuba again, then Cuba has to turn back to Russia a bit more. I'm sure the Russians didn't like the possibility of losing any trade with the island.

The Russians pretty much abandoned Cuba in the '90's. They have done a lot more trade with Asia since then. China in particular has oil wells and power facilities there. So does Canada, for that matter.

Recursive loop actually.

Shouldn't compile though.
