President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I get that completely. And hope MM does a slow, agonizing death, and has an insurance company deny him coverage for some experimental drug. But things have to change if we're ever gonna get the country on the right track. We can't afford to wait another 30 years for old the old white republicans to die.

 

The GOP knows the Dems want "bipartisanship" so much that they'll bend over backwards. I'd just like to see the Dems have the fight, go on offense every now and then. They always seem to to negotiate against themselves. How DACA hasn't been resolved already is beyond me.

 

Embattled Central Park Five Prosecutor Linda Fairstein Doubles Down

Some people just can't admit when they're wrong. I know there are probably liability issues, but if the kids really did participate in the attack (even if they didn't commit the rape), they never would have been released from prison and exonerated. QED.

I heard a report on this yesterday, and it included this statement from a reporter who covered the Central Park Five trial. This is not the exact quote, but it does give the spirit of it.

"The evidence was right there in front of us at the trial, and we didn't see it. The crime scene pictures clearly show the footprints and drag marks where the victim was dragged from the site of the assault to the area where the rape occurred. It was perhaps eighteen inches wide. There is no way in hell that five people left that trail behind."

Edit - Found it. Near the end of this segment.

Yet all the Trumpers still insist that it's possible that they did assault her even if they didn't rape her or they assaulted other people that night. It's impossible. One person pointed out that the judge who had them released said they could be tried again.
Also impossible. Double jeopardy.

Most of it is Elaine Chao's money. More than a few DC legislators have married spouses from wealthy families - often quite a bit wealthier than the legislators.
