President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that failing to turn over documents -- or even destroying them -- to investigators will get you in a lot of trouble.

LOL.

 

Yeah, that happened once, and the entire nation was sentenced to four years of Donald Trump as president.

 

Believe that.

 

Since it has been judged political, can we talk here about the fact that a man spouting anti-Muslim rhetoric at a woman on a train killed a couple of bystanders who tried to intervene?

2 killed in stabbing on MAX train in Northeast Portland as man directs slurs at Muslim women, police say

Bigotry, or "motivating the base" as the GOP calls it, has consequences.

 

He's a Christian.

Anyone surprised by his name? Or his recent activity?

 

So many liberal tears.

One evening in April, about a dozen Clinton-campaign alums gathered at Cipriani Wall Street to watch their former boss give a speech at a benefit for New York’s LGBT Community Center. It was a mix of senior and junior staffers — Robby Mook and Jake Sullivan and former finance director Dennis Cheng, plus speechwriters Megan Rooney and Lauren Peterson, chief product officer Osi Imeokparia, Liz Zaretsky and Teddy Goff from the digital team, and Aditi Hardikar, Carl Gray, and Anthony Mercurio from finance. Partway through the lengthy dinner leading to Clinton’s speech, Nick Merrill and Huma Abedin arrived and a signal went up; the staff had been summoned backstage to say hello to the woman whom a few of them hadn’t seen since the election. Ushered into a small room, they clapped as Clinton walked in, then there was a noisy round of handshaking, hugging, and group-picture-taking. When they headed back to their banquet tables to settle in for her speech, two of the men were wiping tears from their eyes.

 

She was so calm in defeat! LOL. Yeah sure. That's why she couldn't even show up at her own rally to concede, and Obama had to convince her to call Trump.

As staffers and friends began to melt down with shock and grief, Clinton, by all accounts, remained preternaturally calm. One staffer speculated that she was able to do so because she is a person who often expects the worst and does not trust the best: “It was an example of reality rising to meet her expectations.”

“I remember having conversations with her which were gut-wrenching to me,” says Mook of that night. “Saying to her, ‘The math isn’t there. It doesn’t look like we can win.’ She was so stoic about it. She immediately went into the mode of thinking, Okay, what do we do next?”

 

Sigh. I was planning on voting for him, but not anymore.

 

Are all of these Hillary stories "make goods" for journalist who think they were too hard on her or think some of their coverage led us to where we are now?
Her own top advisors can't explain why she did the things she did with regard to the server and her inability to get the e-mail stuff behind her. Her inability to come up with a reason, a theme, for her presidency.

 

Orlando, San Bernardino, Roseburg, Chattanooga, Charleston ... Aurora, Newtown, Fort Hood. America was just fine through all those. But this stabbing in Oregon, well NOW we should start worrying about our country.

The timing of the concern seems suspect.

 

If you have a hate boner that lasts more than four months, seek medical attention right away.

 

Before your pre-existing condition makes you uninsurable.
