Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Saw this one on vacation in Florida. Gave me such a warm, comforting feeling about the owner.

 

Nope. But I think it suggests their differences with HRC are primarily policy based. For example, a lot of folks don't like that she's pro-choice or pro-immigration reform or supports gay marriage or won't cut social security or tear apart other parts of the social safety net. I think those things tend to color their overall assessments of her.

 

Why don't more "good" Muslims immigrate to the U.S.? Sweden gets all the breaks.

Nearly 200 people died and the Americans weren't able to leave where they were staying. You call that safe?

Why Do So Many Americans Care More About Benghazi Than About The Iraq War? | The Intellectualist

"I don’t understand the disproportionate focus on a half day in Benghazi vs. more than a decade in Iraq.

When people say they just want the facts, I think: We still don’t know when the decision was made to invade Iraq, or who was involved. We still don’t know why the intelligence was so warped.

We don’t even know how many Americans died in Iraq, because there has been very shoddy record-keeping on contractors’ deaths.

Yet some people, many of them in Congress, keep on calling for more info about Benghazi. What am I missing?

I asked some smart friends recently. One, retired Army Col. Charles Krohn, wrote back that:

“Tom, it’s easier to understand the simple (Benghazi) than the complicated (Iraq). On the scale of misleading the Republic into acting against its best interests, however, Iraq is a million times more shocking, exactly as you suggest.

There’s another issue, somewhat sensitive. A lot of us (me included) supported the war in Iraq because we believed the WMD argument, especially after Colin Powell embraced it. So it’s a trifle embarrassing for the masses to acknowledge we were manipulated. For those who lost life or limb, embarrassing is hardly an appropriate expression.”

 

I will never understand the obsession with Benghazi. I get it from the YFs and o_ts of the world. But there are far bigger issues to spend our resources on.
