President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A shame this movie wasn't made earlier.

Anyone who's read up on it knows that Kopechne crawled into an air pocket in the backseat of the car, and did not die right away.

Kennedy could have saved her, but was more interested in saving his political career.

The film says that what happened at Chappaquiddick was even worse than we think. Kopechne’s body was found in a position that implied that she was struggling to keep her head out of the water. And what the film suggests is that once the car turned upside down, she didn’t die; she was alive and then drowned, after a period of time, as the water seeped in. This makes Edward Kennedy’s decision not to report the crime a clear-cut act of criminal negligence — but in spirit (if not legally), it renders it something closer to an act of killing.

 

This will now ensure he is not the president in 2020.

 

In which Trump's agenda-setters compare 9/11 memorials to Confederate statues.

Fox News' Segment on 9/11 and Confederate Statues Is Awful

 

If he'd lived, he'd be just short of 89-years-old on in Inauguration Day. That would make him a contemporary with the current front runners for the nomination.

His name would surely have been in the mix.

 

It's s shame, though ... he always had an instinct for "the less fortunate" among us.

 

A Teddy Kennedy digression for a few days would be a welcome vacation from the endless feast of Clinton posts.

 

WhatAbout(tm) Chappaquiddick? didn't save Nixon either

 

He'd be stiff competition.

 

YF's like a guy in back in the day working his way through his little black book.

The fresh ones, the Hillarys, Obamas, Chelsea - nothing going on there today.

So he's going back a little farther. Here's a hot take on Teddy Kennedy. 48 years ago - its like it happened yesterday.

If the day continues to be slow, we are going to get a post about JFK and Sinatra sharing Marilyn Monroe one night.

 

Grover Cleveland's finally gonna get his, too.

 

If anybody puts up statues to Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, Mohammad Atta and Osama bin Laden, i certainly hope they are torn down.
