President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Opinion | The President Is Not Above The Law

 

After reading the transcript of the Comey interview I have a better appreciation for the position he was put in regarding Clinton and Trump.
It's odd though - the only reason he found himself in that position was that the two campaigns were too gutless to own their various scandals, allowing him/trusting him? to have the kind of power that could have potentially swung the election.
The word games - "matter vs. investigation" - Trump saying but not saying the magic words, Priebus, Sessions et. al not having the stones to tell the President that he is very close to crossing a line that could kill his Presidency. Just weird.
Hillary people blaming Comey for a bad judgement call, is like a team making three errors that led to runs blaming the umps. If Team Clinton just said, yes the FBI is still investigating, we are cooperating and fully expect to be cleared, these are e-mails they already examined, she'd probably be President right now. (It would have helped if she campaigned a bit more in the Midwest as well).

 

Has Christopher Steele ever done a sit down interview?

I wish Comey wasn't going on The View or Colbert - I know he has to sell books, but it kind of undermines the seriousness of what he's trying to say.

That said - the President makes Comey's case against him just about every day with a tweet or odd statement.

If his supporters really wanted to help the President be as successful as they want him to be, they would be wise to tell him when he says something stupid, when he's out of line and only digging himself a bigger hole. The enabling only encourages him. Don't know why people close to him are so afraid to call him out on his BS. It weakens his Presidency.

 

He doesn't let anyone who would get close to him.

 

I love you too, honeybunny, but I am not hanging my hat on RBIs other than this one instance in which I was given the final 2 players to choose from with only 2 statistics. Now go and have a mixed drink with your favorite girls.

 

It's coming for Sean. Sean's getting his very soon.

 

Why polling the general public is difficult, Cbapter 12,000,000: In the Washington Post poll taken at the end of last week, 75 percent of respondents who identified as Democrats or as independents who lean Democratic said they were registered to vote. In a January poll by the same organization, 84 percent of such persons said they were registered. Now obviously nobody's actual voter registration status changed in two months. It's either a random sampling change, or an indication that fewer Democrats are thinking about the election. But what it indicates most of all is that people are inaccurate and/or deceptive describers of their own behavior.

 

There's little question of morality when the President of the United States calls neo-Nazis "very fine people."

 

The whole "very fine people" thing is beyond overcooked at this point. We get it.

 

A helpful reminder to this thread. A Quinnipiac poll last week showed that 38 percent of respondents had no opinion on Robert Mueller, which is a polite way of saying they didn't know who he was. This remains an amazingly apolitical country for better or worse (it's both).
