Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Why should he not be fact checked? Is it because he has NO facts?

I have ZERO problem with Clinton bring grilled. She should be. So should Trump.

But Trump was allowed to repeat lies. Just him and Matt, two bros kickin' back and chewin' the fat.

That was amateuer hour from Lauer.

 

Totally mysoginistic. I certainly don't want Clinton to play the "woman" card. She should win because she's qualified and he's not.

But nobody EVER would say "smile more" to a
man while discussing military issues. That was a pig comment.

 

Actually, it is. I've seen such lessons taught. It may not be as widespread as it should be, but I've seen a program that is run by a local group for several high schools in my area. The focus is on making sure the male and female students understand concepts like consent.

 

James Comey lost a lot of credibility with his late Friday pre Labor day weekend
data dump. What a joke.

 

Why did Hillary stand up during her interview with Lauer? It was an odd gesture. Was she trying to convey that
she was healthy and mobile?

 

Seems like an odd thing to focus on. Maybe you're correct. Maybe she just likes to be mobile on stage. Maybe standing is a gesture of respect to a military audience.

But of all the issue to fixate on, that's pretty far down the list.

 

So, basically the bar has now been lowered to
this: If Trump doesn't shit his pants and throw his feces at the moderator and audience, he seems fit for command.

Swell.

 

Eh, not so sure. Maybe not in the context of discussing military issues, but Gore was derailed in part because he didn't seem chummy enough (to have a beer with!) to a wide swath of the American electorate.

I don't know Priebus from Adam, so I'm not going to assign misogyny to his comments unless he's exhibited that sort of behavior in the past. Seems like regular ol' politics, to me.

 

Via Vox, the GOP candidate says Clinton "made a terrible mistake on Libya," (never mind that it was ultimately Obama's decision). Yet not long ago, he was saying we should go in, take out Khaddafi and make Libya "pay us back" because the protestors who take over the country are going to "like us a lot better than if we don't do it." The video below is from Trump's own website:

Disagree. Did Trump "smile" during his segment? Did anyone say he looked defensive?

No. But he also wasn't pressed at all. Just allowed to lie and give his stump speech.

 

It's the head of the RNC saying Clinton should smile more. Of course he didn't say the same about Trump.

 

Then say something substantive. Disagree with her? Fine. Call her out on positions? Fine.

"Smile" more. No. It's a sexist, asshole move. Words matter. But apparently not with Reince, Trump and the RNC.
