Does anybody remember when President Obama shut down the Federal Government because ...
... Mitch McConnell would not let a vote go forward for Merrick Garland to be
a justice on the Supreme Court*?
* Something that is granted to the POTUS by the US Supreme Court but
Trump has shut down the government because he lost the last election?
Trump Discussed Pulling U.S. From NATO, Aides Say Amid New Concerns Over Russia
Source: NY Times
WASHINGTON There are few things that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia desires more than the weakening of NATO, the military alliance among the United States, Europe and Canada that has deterred Soviet and Russian aggression for 70 years.
Last year, President Trump suggested a move tantamount to destroying NATO: the withdrawal of the United States.
Senior administration officials told The New York Times that several times over the course of 2018, Mr. Trump privately said he wanted to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Current and former officials who support the alliance said they feared Mr. Trump could return to his threat as allied military spending continued to lag behind the goals the president had set.
In the days around a tumultuous NATO summit meeting last summer, they said, Mr. Trump told his top national security officials that he did not see the point of the military alliance, which he presented as a drain on the United States.

Trump is a Russian asset.
Even discussing the idea of leaving NATO let alone actually doing so would be the gift of the
century for Putin, Admiral Stavridis said.

And never forget that Manafort picked Pence to be V.P. which means Putin picked Pence to be V.P.
Manafort was working off his debt to Putin and company when he went to work as Trump's campaign manager
and was still working for Trump/Russia after he was "fired." And even after he was "fired" Manafort was still
feeding data to the GRU so Russia could rat fuck our elections.

New Yorker:
When Kost Bondarenko, one of Manaforts longtime Ukrainian associates, told the
Daily Beast, in May, 2017, that Trump won because of Manafort, this is what he
may have meant.

Before Trump formally announced Pence as his vice presidential candidate, it was Manafort who made sure it happened, The New York Times reported last year.
Trump had hesitated to settle on Pence, who was governor of Indiana. Trump was fielding last-ditch appeals from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and publicly said he had not made a final, final decision until advisers like Manafort reminded him of the importance of uniting the GOP around conservative Christian values.
CBS News reported that Pence was Manafort's "first choice" and that Manafort even lied about mechanical problems on Trump's plane to make the soon-to-be GOP nominee stay an extra day in Indiana to get to know Pence. In a phone call, Manafort assured Trump that Pence was the right choice and made a case that won over the real estate tycoon.

The backpedaling began in March after it emerged that Manafort signed a multimillion-dollar contract in 2006 with a close associate of Vladimir Putin. Trump's team now claims that Manafort merely oversaw delegate operations and that Trump was not aware of Manafort's work for other governments, including Russia.
Trump, "unbelievable vehicles... stronger, bigger, and faster vehicles than our police have..."

Any point at all to watch Trump lie his ass off in order to try to create a distraction
from Mueller, Manafort, Russia, Trump Jr., Jared, and Natalia Veselnitskaya.
