    Speaking of Haley ...

    “They should be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in a CBS interview. “And I think we heard from them before the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”

    Haley’s comments infuriated the president, according to two people who are familiar with his views but who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. Trump has grown increasingly angry in recent days that the accusations against him have resurfaced, telling associates that the charges are false and drawing parallels to the accusations facing Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.

    San Francisco mayor dies of a heart attack. Google search his name and see how different sites present the news:

    The news reporting of Haley's comments? The news reporting of the sexual harassment claims? This makes no sense.

    Could have just as easily said "how the same people can be for gun control but OK with abortion." But both your hypocrisy examples just happened to be from the "banning abortion" side . . . as if that's the epicenter in the hypocritical divide.

    Trump isn’t mad at her. He called her after the appearance to say she’d done a good job.

    If [insert generic non-loathesome Republican here] used the word “fatwa” in reference to Haley, you’d hear no end to the caterwauling about how those dumb motherfuckers are so racist they don’t even know the difference between a Sikh* and a Muslim, and I’d wager folding money your voice would be among the loudest.

    You may be a smart guy, but your overweening desire to paint yourself among the enlightened leads you to post some awfully stupid/offensive things.

    *Haley’s a Christian who grew up in a Sikh family.

    Roy Moore is going to win the election after having Nigel Farage - a damned foreigner - campaigning for him and Steve Bannon insulting the University of Alabama? Strange times, man. Strange times.

    First two examples that popped into my head. I understand when people are against abortion. I disagree, but I understand it.

    I could also argue that your example isn't hypocritical, but I'd rather try to fit a 58-inch TV up my own ass than get into that debate here or anywhere else.

    Just when you think the bottom of the barrel has been scraped, Trump's tweet this morning about Sen Gillibrand shows that there is even more room to sink.
