OFFICIAL: Donald Trump thread.

I watched him announce he signed the bill, will claim national emergency, even though he didn't need to-contradicts himself, patting himself on the back...and, for the 1st time, i really tried to believe anything he said during this speech.

And i just couldn't. He has lied so many times, i just can't bring myself to believe anything he says. This guy is so far off the rails, it really does astound me. Even Ann Coulter said the president is an idiot.

You know when one of his "bosses" calls him a loser, he's not doing very well. I predict he will not see a 2nd term, one way or another.

Report: Chicago Police Believe Jussie Smollett Paid Two Men to Stage Attack



The Chicago Police Department believe Empire actor Jussie Smollett staged an attack on himself last month, according to a report.

“Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault. The sources tell CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement,” tweeted CNN crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz Saturday evening.

Earlier Saturday, Fox 32 Chicago’s Rafer Weigel, citing several police sources, reported Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo — the two Nigerian brothers arrested and later questioned by police about the alleged incident — purchased the rope found around the actor’s neck the night of the alleged attack at an ACE hardware store.

The dramatic developments come after Chicago police released the two men, citing to “new evidence” obtained in their interrogations.

“Due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete,” said Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

In a phone interview with New York Times reporter Sopan Deb, Guglielmi would not confirm Weigel’s report, but did say, “After we spoke to the former suspects last night, detectives reached out to Jussie Smollett’s attorneys and expressed interest that we need to talk to him again.”

Earlier Friday, the two men linked to the investigation were identified by the Daily Mail as Nigerian-born actors Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo. The pair were arrested and taken in for questioning Wednesday by police officers at O’Hare Airport after returning from a trip to Nigeria to visit family.

The brothers were reportedly spotted on surveillance footage in the Chicago neighborhood where the alleged incident occurred.

Gloria Schmidt, an attorney for the brothers told CBS 2 that her clients could be charged on Friday. “They were actually detained at customs at O’Hare airport yesterday around 5:45 p.m.,” Schmidt said. “They had no idea what was going on, and they’ve been detained since then.”

“When they first learned about what happened to him they were horrified. This is someone they know. This is someone they’ve worked with, so they don’t want to see somebody go through that,” she continued.

The lawyer confirmed the Osundairos had been extras on Empire and worked out with Smollett.

Smollett, who is black and gay, has said two masked men shouting racial and anti-gay slurs and “This is MAGA country!” beat him and looped a rope around his neck early on Jan. 29 before running away. He said they also poured some kind of chemical on him.

Smollett, 36, said he was out getting food at a Subway sandwich shop in downtown Chicago when the attack occurred.

In an interview with ABC News’ Good Morning America, the singer and actor said he didn’t remove the rope from around his neck before police arrived “because I wanted them to see.”

Smollett also said he initially refused to give police his cellphone because the device contained private content and phone numbers. He later gave detectives heavily redacted phone records that police have said are insufficient for an investigation.

Smollett has maintained that he has been truthful about the incident, contending his story has not changed since it took place. “I am working with authorities and have been 100% factual and consistent on every level,” the actor said in a statement to ESSENCE magazine. “Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe that justice will be served.”

Trump's going to get impeached, but I don't like any of the Democratic candidates for the presidency. Only one I'm semi-okay with is AOC, and she can't run. I'm still trying to understand if she's something new, or a twist of same old, same old. Time will tell.

Everybody knows what for. There's a theory floating around that if the election was fraudulent, the VP goes too. Anyhow, who knows if the VP goes down in the investigation, too, before all this is over. It's getting really close to the big players now. Pelosi might end up being Prez.

Collusion, treason, conspiracy against the US by a presidential candidate/Russian agent and his campaign. Massive social media influence campaign, coordination of hacking and messaging, etc.

You mean the Russian cyber units? They already did, and they won, for now at least. We'll see how it turns out in the end, though. I will admit the US definitely lost its first major cyber war. The question now is whether it can bounce back from that defeat.
