President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm seeing reports that he wants someone with a Harvard or Yale degree, and that he already has a short list of five.

 

That’s not Hillary, sorry.

 

Trump's a traitor, owned by the Russian government. It's really that simple.

 

Pirro is 67-years-old. As much as Trump might love her, she's not on his list, and she's not under consideration. Trump wants a legacy that can't be undone by executive order, and he knows the judiciary is where to create it.

But, let'd play it out...

How did GWB's nomination of Harriet Miers work out? You think a nomination of Pirro wouldn't suffer the same result?

 

And too lazy and apathetic to do the hard work of governing and legislating. Instead he is addicted to drama.

Trump doesn’t care about his legacy. It’s all about short term gratification.

 

‘Put the camera down’
Covering protests has become the riskiest job in journalism



The most dangerous place to be a journalist in America is at a protest.

That’s a key early takeaway from the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, a nonpartisan website launched in August that documents press freedom incidents around the country. As of mid-September, the database had logged 20 arrests and 21 physical attacks on journalists this year, most of them at public demonstrations.

The Committee to Protect Journalists and the Freedom of the Press Foundation developed the tracker with support from more than two dozen other journalism organizations, including CJR. The tracker collects data points from news stories and tips, and it’s free to use. It’s also needed now more than ever.

Journalists, editors, and Inky:

 

You're so wrong about that.

He wants to obliterate Obama's legacy, and build his own.

 

I disagree — he thinks the world ends when he dies.
