President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Still love you buddy, in a totally normal Vom-and-I-know-each-other-in-real-life way.


But when you assess your guy in the White House by saying ....

... and ...

.... it's probably time to start reassessing the guy you voted for.

 

We're not dead yet!

Until we are.

‘This guy doesn’t know anything’: the inside story of Trump’s shambolic transition team

 

Nice.

Fuck the law. I don’t give a fuck about the law. I want my fucking money.

 

You keep acting as though they are shocked and appalled (but are too ashamed to admit it).

They love what he's doing, if not the tone he uses when doing it (and they sometimes love that, too!).

You're searching for something that doesn't exist.

 

Trump: Well, I was falsely accused and the Democrats are doing the same to my SCOTUS nominee.

Also Trump: Yeah, well, who cares about DNA not matching? Those Central Park Five guys are still guilty!

 

Here's what sexual assault experts say you should keep in mind as Christine Blasey Ford shares her story - Los Angeles Times

• Roughly 31% of sexual assaults are reported to police. That number is lower — 28% — among the elderly, and even lower — 20% — among college-age women.

• In a survey of sexual violence victims who did not report their assault, 20% cited a fear of retaliation and 13% said they did not believe the police would do anything to help. Another 13% considered the assault “a personal matter,” and 7% said they did not want to get the perpetrator in trouble.

• Those who stay quiet because they don’t expect action from law enforcement officers may be justified in their thinking. Out of 1,000 sexual assaults, about 310 are reported to police. Among those reports, 57 will lead to an arrest and 11 cases will be referred to prosecutors. Seven of them will lead to a felony conviction and six will lead to incarcerations.

• Men typically assume that about half of reported sexual assaults are unfounded or completely fabricated, said Kevin Swartout, a Georgia State University psychologist who studies the factors that predispose men to commit these crimes. However, researchers estimate that only 2% to 7% of sexual assault reports are untrue, he said. “It is very rare,” he said. “But it does happen.”

 

“Hear how I killed? I’m a headliner. A headliner. Obama’s never been more than a feature act..”

 

He was thinking "ass".

 

Of course they don't. On the off chance that the Democrats make gains in the Senate during the midterms, his confirmation would become more difficult. They are rushing this to avoid that possibility. That is the primary issue I have with how this process is being handled.

 

Nope. Sorry.

 

Yep, I have an incident that was never reported, I now only remember a few details but remember the name and the circumstance (why I was where I was) and other names who could confirm. Compared to others, this was minor...BUT if this person was up for an important position, today I would say something. Maybe not in the past, before metoo. Like many have said, metoo has brought a lot of these things back to mind and given people courage to speak out.

So, stop asking "why now" for fucks sake that question has been answered many time with many different reasons, if you are still asking, you don't want to know, you just want to win your point.
