Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Aaand, we're off and running. Again.

 

How nice, an actual answer.

And my response is that in the other, people genuinely believe that they don't have as much influence on the politicains who are supposed to represent them as the wealthy and genuinely believe that monetary influence beholdens politicians to their benefactors. That influence affects the representation of the constituents, and, they genuinely believe, affects the laws that are passed, or not passed. Laws that would directly affect them. As opposed to an abortion, which doesn't directly affect them.

 

You just made more of a case why they aren't analogous.

 

I say the same thing every four years: Is this the best we can do?

 

They're analogous because of the genuine beliefs each side carries on the two issues.

Where the campaign finance reform people are right in their genuine beliefs and the anti-abortionists are wrong are how each issue directly affects them. A woman having an abortion doesn't directly affect you and me. A politician bought and paid for does directly affect you and me.

 

The 50 percent that are "absolute sleaze" must be Mexican reporters.

 

Some of them, I assume, are good people.

 

Time photographer Chris Morris got into a dust-up with a secret service agent at a Trump rally today. Looks like Morris was outside of the photographers' pen and, when the agent tried to get him back in there, Morris said, "Fuck you."
The agent took him to the ground, where Morris was kicking at him. Upon getting up, Morris' day of bad decisions continued when he told another agent or police (they came up at the same time) that the first agent had grabbed him by the neck. Morris demonstrated by grabbing the neck of the agent who had taken him down.
Graciously, Morris says he won't press charges.

"So, you're a psychologist?"

"That's right."

"Interesting. I'm in a related field."

"Really? What's that?"

"Pest and rodent removal."

"How is that related?"

"We both help people."
