President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You are responding to an imaginary post.

 

From what I hear, Trump's real problem is that he lacks people with political savvy. He has a lot of strong-willed people like Kelly, but doesn't have the operators needed to smooth things over, cajole or even make sure judicial appointees are adequately vetted or prepared for Congressional testimony. You need people like that. The deputies who communicate with other people's deputies to make sure everyone is working in the same direction.

 

Abbott-
You do know she worked for the Clinton White House.
This is a career opportunist.

 

It’s like the guy graduated from medical School and worked for a pharmaceutical company that developed antifungal foot gel. He’s been appointed head of neurosurgery at University of Alabama Hospital Center and is expected to perform brain surgery, having never operated before or set a broken bone.

She’s a fraud. A scam artist and a huckster. Clinton hired many many smart people and appointed some great ones. He wasn’t above political payoffs and appointments. But I’m willing to bet that his smart to dumb appointment ratio in the inverse of trump’s.

 

President Trump Is Losing the Support of Fox Viewers

 

This isn’t theater. This is a problem. I’m not interested in photo-ops; I’m interested in solving a problem.

 

Well, this is different.

A woman running to flip a Kansas congressional seat from red to blue next year is ending her campaign after allegations surfaced that she had sexually harassed, and then fired, a former subordinate.

Andrea Ramsey, 56, is a retired business executive who worked in the nonprofit sector before deciding to run for office as a Democrat in next year’s congressional midterm elections. She was one of a growing number of women inspired to seek office in the wake of President Trump’s election.

But this month, The Kansas City Star newspaper asked her about a 2005 lawsuit that accused her of sexually harassing a man at LabOne, where she was the executive vice president of human resources, and then firing him after he rejected her advances, a claim Ms. Ramsey denies. The suit was against the company, not Ms. Ramsey specifically, and it was settled in 2006.

 

Abbott-
It's rather obvious to me why she was hired by Bill.
As Mike Ditka said, empty tin cans make the most noise.
She's an empty tin can, but she's getting enough exposure (Nightline, Good Morning America) that people think she has a story to tell.

 

Don't worry. Her character is too important for the writers to have fully written her out of the show. I am expecting a dramatic midseason return next season. You can get to know her better then.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I really wish you would stop this. Or at least think twice before writing this for the TKth time.

Not to speak for Webster or heyabbott or anyone else, but I know that for me, given that one can only quote a single post at a time rather than several posts that constituted a thread, it's often easiest to simply quote the last comment on a given line of thought in order to make clear that you're jumping into that particular conversation. In this case, these were two comments on the discussion of the merits of this particular candidate for the federal judiciary. I think a reasonable observer could notice your post as the most recent on that topic, and append their new comment to it to signal that it's a post on the same topic, as opposed to the many other topics being bandied about on any one time on this thread.

It doesn't necessarily imply disagreement with the quoted post. Indeed, it might agree with it, and simply amplify. It's not a de-facto attack that must be defended.

It's not always about you.
