11. Including Trumplet scandals?
https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2017/05/organizations-call-out-ivanka-trump-brand-over-labor-scandal/528747/
Following news that two labor activists went missing and another was arrested after investigating a Chinese company that produces Ivanka Trump shoes, numerous organizations have called for the president’s daughter to address the situation. “Ivanka’s brand should immediately cease its work with this supplier, and the Trump administration should reverse its current course and confront China on its human rights abuses,” Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee, said in a Wednesday statement. “For years, Ivanka Trump has ignored public reports of awful labor conditions at a factory that makes her shoes. Now, she must decide whether she can ignore the Chinese government’s apparent attempt to silence an investigation into those worker abuses.”
Indeed, this isn’t the first time the Ivanka Trump brand has been embroiled in a labor scandal. In April, an inspection by the Fair Labor Association found that workers in a Chinese knitting factory that makes clothing for the brand were being underpaid, receiving just $62 weekly for up to 60 hours of work, or a little more than a dollar per hour. All together, the factory was found to be in violation of two dozen international labor standards. |

48. Ivanka's emails
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/28/18116326/ivanka-trump-emails-hillary-clinton-gma
President Donald Trump’s daughter and an adviser to the president has found herself at the center of a controversy over her digital communication habits. The firestorm kicked off in mid-November, when Carol Leonnig and Josh Dawsey at the Washington Post reported that Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails to aides, Cabinet officials, and her assistant using a private email account she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner. It was reported last year that Kushner had used a private account to conduct government business as well. Revelations about Trump’s email use immediately drew comparisons to Clinton, who during her 2016 presidential campaign was dogged by questions about her use of a private server for emails as secretary of state. Donald Trump’s supporters on the campaign trail and to this day often chant, “Lock her up!” in reference to Clinton’s emails. |

49. I think the missile firing for Syria chemical weapons attack
Was a putin and trump staged event for trump by putin, another issue was his Yemen raid where he set the military up by doing the muslim ban right before the raid was started, knowing it would cause some to be outraged that were working with our service people , and could turn on them , which they did. The Khassoggi murder is another one, and I think trump was told before he was murdered what was going on , and did nothing . Between Kushner and our intel I think he knew before it happened. Just like trump was aware of Flynn talking about helping kidnap the guy living here in the states Turkey wanted , and knew what he was doing. When he's ousted there will be people dedicated to looking into everything trump and others have done, and the list will be unbelievably long.

51. Two, if they haven't already been mentioned:
1. Wilbur Ross is one of the biggest grifters in U.S. history, who according to a special report by Forbes magazine used his office time to meet with investment advisors about his portfolio.
2. One of the WORST: After an unmonitored phone conversation with Erdogan, Trump pulled our US troops out of Syria, condemning our allies the Kurds to slaughter at the hand of Turkish forces. After we pulled out, our abandoned bases were confiscated by Russian troops, who made videos of them exploring our bases and playing with the abandoned equipment of our troops. |

Who was behind threatening Stormy Daniels? I think Cohen is well aware of who was used to threatened her, and who approved it. Recordings ? Was trump wiretapping Cohen when he was released, or like putin does it have others not connected so he can deny it listening in. I've suspected trump is doing this , and has for some time to many others.

58. Robert Mercer - Cambridge Analytica - using stolen Facebook personal data
Robert & Rebekkah Mercer are the RWNJs who funded Chump's campaign when he was almost out of money in the summer of 2016. They succeeded in getting Kelly-Anne Conway and Steve Bannon on Chump's campaign to basically run things to Mercer's liking. Whatever Russian collusion happened - happened during this time while Bannon, Conway and Paul Manafort were running things.
Cambridge Analytica (the data manipulation group) was quietly folded after completely messing up the UK's politics with the Brexit campaign AND messing up the USA with Chump. Nobody has ever answered these questions - Why does Robert Mercer want the same thing Vladimir Putin wants? Why are those two seemingly in political cahoots in both the US and the UK? There's no way that Robert Mercer is a "useful idiot" for Putin, in the same way that Chump is. Mercer is somehow involved in a deeper conspiracy and nobody is following the money. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

61. This whole thread is THE MICROCOSIM of why trump needs to be removed
I mean, take a look at all of the replies. The mind boggling part is that WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THESE SCANDALS! In other words, trump does so many stupid and scandalous things that, give him ten minutes, and he'll does something so stupid and scandalous that it will make you forget about the last stupid and scandalous thing he did. Any ONE of these scandals listed on this thread would blister any other president, but with trump it's just a flavor of the week.
More on topic, my entry is the idiot blurting out sensitive intelligence information to the Russian foreign minister in the middle of the oval office. Causing H.R. McMaster to desperately try to do damage control spin on the White House lawn. I mean how the hell does something like THAT get forgotten? But, it is the age of trump. |
