President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

How many times are we supposed to play this game where we give reporters credit for admitting to their egregious mistakes, instead of focusing on the egregious mistake?

 

Last March, Podesta received an email purportedly from Google saying hackers had tried to infiltrate his Gmail account. When an aide emailed the campaign’s IT staff to ask if the notice was real, Clinton campaign aide Charles Delavan replied that it was “a legitimate email" and that Podesta should “change his password immediately.”

Instead of telling the aide that the email was a threat and that a good response would be to change his password directly through Google’s website, he had inadvertently told the aide to click on the fraudulent email and give the attackers access to the account.

Delavan told the Times he had intended to type "illegitimate,” a typo he still has not forgiven himself for making.

Sure, Russia's gonna Russia. But part of the U.S. being the U.S. is to actively oppose them if, for instance, 1) they commit crimes to attack our presidential election; 2) they invade neighbors, especially if they're allies.

Obviously no analogy is perfect. In part I was going for laughs. (That's how I roll.)

But when it comes to nation-states, I'm worried first and foremost about the United States of America. I'd like my President to feel the same way. In fact, our Constitution demands it.

They attacked us. We must impose a stiff penalty to make them think twice about doing it again, and enhance our defenses to prevent them since history shows that their current leadership will keep trying to attack us.

Your mileage may vary. And might be measured in kilometers.

 

Focus to your heart's content.

This is silly. She was running against Donald Freaking Trump.

 

We are gonna fuck your shit up so bad.

 

So if a guy has videos of you pissing on hookers, are you really going to be able to go all though guy on him in person?

 

Dijon mustard. That was the nadir.

 

All we need to do is put a red light at the border. I've witnessed first-hand that Canadians are too polite to cross against the light even if there's nobody coming.
