He kept, to some extent, corruption in check. He was reasonably careful to think about the greatest good for the greatest number even if it was outside the law. https://calwatchdog.com/2013/04/07/why-kamala-harris-is-probably-not-thrilled-with-compliment/ I'd already left San Francisco by the time Willie became Mayor. When he was the legislative assembly speaker he was the most powerful politician in California for many years. The Mayorship was just a vanity gig and boy was Willie vain. Corrupt too, in the Daley and Long tradition Edited April 8, 2018 by lannarebirth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a time honored tradition that "trump" ignores. You're right that in itself isn't significant. Add up the many other bizarre things "trump" does as president and then that's another press story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanista Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Trump probably has far more important things on his mind like chatting online with a number of super models. All of these media / hollywood black tie nights are self congratulatory non events. Who cares about them except the freeloaders that get free invites.

I guess that's just me.He's supposed to be president of the entire nation. He shirks from that. He wanted the job but he only wants to do the parts that are fun for him. In a regular job he would have been fired long ago. Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that one of the reasons that Reagan was so popular was the fact that while he had his finger on the nuclear button , he also took time out to dance with his wife ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Balance is important. I feel Trump needs a sea anchor. Right now we can scoff, but he is dangerous loose cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELVIS123456 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I just did a little research on this useless event and learned a few things: The dinner has been held since 1914 and barred guests of color until the 1950s, and women were not allowed to attend until 1962. Not a great start - but there is more. The Board Members and Management Committee are 99% from liberal media outlets. They give out 3 'journalist' awards each year - the last 10 years they have all been won by liberal media outlets/journalists. CNN, NBC, ABC, NYT and WP dominate. Stories in praise of Obama have won quite a few - LOL. Trump is doing what all conservative patriots would do - not attending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well last time he got a shellacking from Obama for focusing on small things like " birth places" while the President was killing off Bin Liner. I'm surprised he wouldn't relish the chance to get even and tell O what a great job he's doing - blah blah . I guess I'm missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 With POTUS's hiring of some high priced lawyers, it gives the appearance he's circling the wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and the white house is a pretty impressive wagon. Same thing happened to Nixon but he didn't have Fox News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
