President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Zoe Baird wonders what all the fuss is about.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say he probably did get physical with her.

But, the cops were called on a couple of occasions, and there's nothing in this article referencing a police report, let alone a description of injuries.

The best we have is the lawyer's statement that evidense does exist:

Sokol says he has copies of medical reports that substantiate that something occurred to cause Henning injury. "This was an allegation of a series of instances coupled with physical evidence. Obviously, it's her word of how the injures occurred, but there was other supporting evidence. There was objective outside support for violent arguments and things being thrown."

I'm just not sure we can state that he abused his wife.

While I don't think some huge percentage of claims are false, some are, and there should be some standard of evidence before we make such a claim.

 

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) and Susan Collins (R., Maine) have each benefited from contributions from the National Education Association. Collins received $2,000 from the union in 2002 and 2008, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Murkowski, meanwhile, has received $23,500.

Shall we inform Jose Reyes and Aroldis Chapman that they are innocent? Has the president done a background investigation? Interesting that baseball players are held to a higher standard then Cabinet nominees.

 

He could be a secretary in glorious mother Russia!

Well, that's one way to get rid of her.

 

The PTA is presumably filled with concerned parents of public school children. They think DeVos sucks.
