Yes, Trump is very much like someone who shits in dustbins and showers. Maybe he just doesn't know any better, or maybe he does it just because he knows he's not supposed to, but either way it's not something we can live with. barfo
First Trump shit on the Muslims, and bodyman5000 and 1 did not speak out— Because he was not a Muslim. Then Trump shit on the poor, and bodyman5000 and 1 did not speak out— Because he was not poor. Then Trump shit on Mother Nature, and bodyman5000 and 1 did not speak out— Because he was not a tree hugger. Then Trump shit on bodyman5000 and 1—and there was no one left to say "ooh, that's gross". barfo
Has Trump been impeached yet? Where is this road leading us? Dead end? Is it just a long and winding road? Does it take a cheese staircase to the moon? I need to know...
I think Mueller is doing his job and has to look into Comey's claims. My guess is that he won't find any obstruction of justice. Trump could have just pardoned Flynn, but instead chose to take a bullet for him. Not the best move.
Fascinating discussions of the parallels between Trump and Watergate Nixon. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/frank-rich-nixon-trump-and-how-a-presidency-ends.html Snippet: A related misperception that some present-day liberals tend to retrofit to 1973 has it that the Washington Republican leadership of that time included ballsy, principled moderates who would speak truth to their gangster president as the pathetic Trump lackeys Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will not. If only. A few Republican senators did ask tough questions during the Watergate hearings — Howard Baker and Lowell Weicker, famously — but it took even them a year after the Watergate break-in to find their voices, and they were not in the leadership. Then, as now, so-called Establishment Republicans were more likely to gripe about Nixon in private or in not-for-attribution conversations with reporters. In public, they usually cowered, sparing the president their harshest criticism and cordoning him off from impeachable offenses out of fear of him and his base. The Republican minority leader in the House, the Arizona congressman John Rhodes, found his mail running three to one against Nixon until he talked about a possible presidential resignation; then the count flipped to eight to one in Nixon’s favor... Nor did Nixon’s base ever desert him. At the nadir of Watergate, Nixon’s approval rating fell to 27 percent; by the time he resigned, that number had dropped to 24 percent. In other words, at least a quarter of the American populace had no problem telling pollsters that they were still behind a president who had lied repeatedly and engaged in unambiguously criminal conspiracies. They still saw Nixon as “one of us,” as he billed himself on posters in his first House run in 1946, and as a fighter who took on “them” — essentially the same elites that Trump inveighs against today. It's not really surprising that Trump is following Nixon, given that Roy Cohn was his guru and Roger Stone is his advisor. Yes, this Roger Stone:
