Horrifying in the context of a U.S. president. It's basically the world saying, we've got your number, you are a total MORON, but you eject presents if we humor you. As an American, this is a national disgrace and the longer it lasts, the more damage it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 For those who have followed US politics closely for decades, we're familiar with the name George Will. He's been a right-wing conservative columnist and has backed republican candidates since Caine and Abel. I'm a liberal, and never thought I'd recommend listening to Mr. Will, but he's now solidly in the anti-Trump camp. He's one of the most thoughtful and well-spoken people in US politics. Take a listen how he eviscerates Trump, limb by limb, tendon by synapse . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he really really wants to be doing, is grabbing married women's pussies, but those are bygone days. Pesky journalists look at everything he does now, so his pussy grabbing days are behind him, shucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew what they were voting for and got what they voted for: A racist blowhard who gives the libtards the middle finger. An Isalmophobe who has instituted a Muslim ban. A misogynist who'll make a go at taking away women's right to birth control and abortion. First step: appoint a corporatist anti-abortion judge to the Supreme Court. Racial anxiety has made many whites angry and they voted for someone to lash out at everyone who will not acknowledge their anger and are demanding they adapt to a more closely integrated world. "Reality sucks and I just want my old white supremacist world back." Hence: Make America Great Again. It wasn't an empty slogan to them, though, in reality, it *is* an empty slogan. We are seeing American decline rather than ascendancy. In that sense, yes, they are suckers—but for their own delusions. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was elected saying he would drain the swamp, he didn't. That he would reduce wars, he didn't. That he would make America great again, that doesn't seem likely either as US greatness was based upon everybody sharing the wealth whereas, as with most countries now, its all going to the rich. He attacks the media for fake news, well nothing new about that, but why doesn't he mention his own fake campaign promises? Psychopathy is among the most difficult disorders to spot. The psychopath can appear normal, even charming. Underneath, he lacks conscience and empathy, making him manipulative, volatile and often (but by no means always) criminal.

Andaman Al Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 So shall we have a sweepstake on TV as to which Trump family member is going to be banged up first? Quote Kushner Cos. Sought Qatar Funds as Jared Advised Trump Quote A few months before President Donald Trump encouraged Saudi Arabia and others to blockade Qatar, the real estate business owned by the family of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, sought a substantial investment from one of the Gulf State country’s wealthiest and most politically influential figures, according to a spokesman for Kushner Cos. Since at least 2015, Kushner, his father, Charlie, and other officials of the company had discussions with Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani, the former prime minister of Qatar who now runs a private investment firm. The talks were about a possible cash infusion of $500 million for the Kushners’ financially challenged high rise at 666 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan. I hope for Kushners sake there is no connection between the non investment and the sudden turn on Qatar by the US. Oh dear oh dear! Seems like one of the biggest rats in the nest is the quiet boy Kushner. Maybe Daddy can give him a loan of his prison uniform. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-11/kushner-cos-sought-qatar-funds-as-jared-advised-trump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, wrong choice of words on my part. You are correct it was Trump that turned on Qatar. Just more and more things for Mueller to look at. Maybe the Administration strategy is to give Mueller so much to look at he will die of old age before the investigation is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll add this - I doubt that Trump's tweet had anything directly to do with Kushner's financial dealings (or rather, failure of) vs. Qatar. It's an open question whether Kushner's stance was significantly influenced by the failure to secure Qatari financial involvement in his business venture. And even if it did, it would raise other questions relating as to the level of Trump's reliance on Kushner's sentiments when engaging in one of his tweeter sessions. If I had to guess, considering Trump's attentions span and lack of in-depth interest with regard to such matters - sort of like when a snippet from Fox sticks in his consciousness or some negative background noise.

No one can credibly take any Republican moralizing seriously when they continued to support Trump after the release of the Access Hollywood tape. No one can credibly take Republican declarations of patriotism seriously after they continue to delay and stymie investigations into Russian interference in US elections. No one can credibly take Republican glorification of the US constitution seriously as they ignore PRESIDENT Trump's incessant attacks on the the Third Estate.
