so, what you are saying is that he told people what he would do, and he did it. he also told people he would grope women, so he did that too. thanks for proving my point. no further questions. #winning

I watched that video at least six times I don't see where he was mocking him. based on our interactions, i am guessing you were waiting for him to say "see, i am mocking a disabled reporter here". and yeah, that didn't happen.

I knew his would be entertaining good. because i was totally kidding. i almost never brag, so i got kind of a childish thrill there. i do know what my skill set is. but i never took debate, so i might actually suck at it, for all i know. edit: ok- i have to run. i have two banks to call before they close. ta ta.

There has been a notable shift in President Trump’s approach toward the corrupt ‘Small Group’ insurance policy team headed by Robert Mueller. The 15:45(ish) point is stunning. Did he say Cohen recorded “media executives“? [The entire point from 14:00 forward is quite stunning, in a deliciously stunning way.]

I would offer this challenge to those who do not see this as behavior mocking the reporter. Please produce another video of President Trump doing the same motions when he is discussing something other than the reporter. If it is not specific to the reporter, it should be something you can find.

"collusion" is a synonym for "conspiracy" and that IS a crime.

Interesting how we've slowly moved from "I never had any business with the Russians, no one on my campaign staff had any meetings with any Russians' to 'yeah, so colluded isn't a crime, only hacking is a crime.'
One wonders what comes next. "Money laundering for the Russians doesn't give them blackmail material on you unless you consider money laundering a crime, which I don't, therefore I wasn't Putin's puppet, even though it sure looked like it at that Helsinki press conference, but you have to know what's in my heart, and not look at what I say or how I act."

If it is not specific to the reporter, it should be something you can find. When asked Trump said he was mocking how the media is always in a frenzy. That's understandable, it's not that hard to believe since there are people on this board who actually believe Peter Strozk could be impartial investigating Trump while hating him

"collusion" is a synonym for "conspiracy" and that IS a crime. it's shorthand for a whole salad of crimes (which would get tiresome repeating). everyone up until this week understood that. but now Rudy seems to think there is some value in conflating terms. i think he made a political calculation. probably a good one. but it is a TERRIBLE legal calculation, imo.

no, i contend that the next step is to admit it is a crime, but it is no worse than jay walking or loitering.

... When asked Trump said he was mocking how the media is always in a frenzy. ... Trump: “... Now, the poor guy, you ought to see this guy, ..." well, clearly, when Trump says 'the poor guy' he means 'the whole American media' and when he says 'you ought to see this guy' he means 'look at all the American media people'
Everyone knows this. All the best people know this. All the best. The best brains. Bigly.

trump is really getting desperate now. The investigation is about knock on trump's front door. trump says attorney general should stop Mueller probe 'right now'
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end federal criminal investigation of whether his presidential campaign cooperated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election. After a pair of tweets again attacking the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump wrote: "This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!" Trump says attorney general should stop Mueller probe 'right now'

Shit's getting real, now. Trump has apparently spent a lot of time glued to the Manafort trial, perhaps what he sees unfolding there is agitating him.
Love how he spins it as 'a stain on our country' rather than 'They're getting way to close to home.'
Just as a thought experiment, should Trump fire both Sessions and Rosenstein in his own version of a Saturday night Massacre, what is likely to happen?

My guess is, this trial will have nothing to do with Trump,, The entire case will be trying to prove money laundering,,, If the prosecutor fails to get a conviction, what happens to almost all of Mueller's case??

Outrage from all sides. It didn't work out well for Nixon and will not work out well for trump. Talk shows last night were mentioning the possibility of don junior being indicted over the trump tower meeting and that don senior would pardon him. There will be outrage and irreparable damage to trump senior. Fatal damage.
