Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He'll present nothing and his supporters will forget about this announcement.
His supporters don’t need good or correct answers; they just need answers- something to say at the rally to placate them until the next bright and shiny arrives to distract them again…
I don't know, I hear the parking lot at Four Seasons Total Landscape still has room for a podium.
In two weeks, when no report has appeared, remind every single Trump supporter you encounter. Don't let them forget this. Keep hammering on it. Keep asking when the report is going to drop. Don't let them change the subject. Don't let them talk about anything else. No matter what they want, keep demanding the report or that they admit he lied to them to placate them.
Don't waste your time. They'll be able to provide any kind of "reasons".
Doesn't matter. Keep hammering on it. They will fail to back up those reasons, and keep pushing. Don't let them change the subject. Insist on fully addressing the issue before moving on.
You see, their whole tactic is to flood the communication pipeline with sewage, so nothing of actual substance gets resolved. Turn off the sewage spigot. Don't let yourself get baited into responding to new, off-topic crap they bring up. Stay focused and force them to stay focused, too.
Eventually, they'll either leave, knowing you're not susceptible to the sewage, or you'll force them to admit he didn't produce any "report" whatsoever, let alone an "irrefutable" one.
Not all. Some will find something they can point at and definitively say this is what he meant. It probably won't be a report. It definitely won't "prove" him right. It might even prove beyond all reasonable doubt that he's guilty. But they will point to it and say that's it. And they will have won (in their heads), the argument.
He will present a bunch of folders full of blank paper, again.
