Trump's Second and Third year in office
Quote: EvenBobWhat do you think con artists do. What
do you think good televangelists do, they
con the crowd. I remember watching Opie
with a woman I know, and Opie had her
blubbering like a baby. I was stunned that
she couldn't see what a phony Opie was,
how she was playing the audience.
Playing an audience for entertainment (i.e., talk show host) is not con artistry in a criminal sense.
That's like saying actors are con artists for pretending to be other people.
You're talking like being a good entertainer is something bad or shameful.
From the standpoint that she might have just enough support to be a contender makes her a viable possibility. I don't think she will run, but I do think she might be able to get to the proper threshold, so can't ever rule that out even if it seems unlikely.
Quote:President Trump's decision to name John Bolton as his new national security adviser was made despite his distaste for Bolton's mustache, according to multiple reports.
Trump's dislike for Bolton's mustache is well known.
Aides told The Washington Post in 2016 that Bolton's facial hair was one of several reasons Trump didn't pick him as his secretary of State. And The New York Times's Maggie Haberman reported Thursday that Trump spent a significant amount of time deriding Bolton for the mustache.
75& chance every word is true, and 100% chance it doesn't really matter, but whatever.
Maybe I'll send Trump a note of how filthy full of germs moustaches are and see if he gets fired. Every time he talks, bugs are flying out of his moustache and going in your nose and mouth. That sounds good.
That's actually pretty funny.
It's ok when Al Franken grabs a woman by the boobies while she's sleeping(there's proof), even after she had warned him that next time she may not be so friendly? But when Trump engages in lockerroom talk(no proof he grabbed anyone by anything) you are outraged?Quote: beachbumbabsGood list. Similar to mine. I left off Bernie on purpose. He's too old, even though I think Joe Biden might be older.
I think Franken should not be counted out. Even if people think he's guilty (and I don't ), Trump.has paved the way for him with so much worse (and deliberate) behavior.
FYI I have nothing against Al Franken.

I am against ALL sexual assault
Always have been, always will
I spoke up against Bill Clinton back in the day because I am against sexual assault
I have no problem with Al Franken resigning. I expect it.
I am against ALL sexual assault regardless of politics
Donald Trump?
Of course I am against Donald Trump
Its Woman after Woman that has accused him
No way they are all lying
Donald Trump is a sexual assaulter just like Bill Clinton
Both are sickos
To accuse one but give the other a pass is hypocritical.

Good for you, unfortunately, some people only care if certain people are accused of it.Quote: terapined

let's take a look.
"I think Franken should not be counted out."
She (BBB)doesn't even think Al is guilty, even though, there are pictures showing him grabbing them by the boobies.
Will she(BBB) explain that away or justify it because he is a comedian and it's just grab assing and lockerroom play? Perhaps she will say she was talking about other stuff he's being accused of.
I'm just surprised she(BBB) thinks AF shouldn't be counted out as if it was no big deal what DEFINITELY transpired.
FYI I have no doubt Trump is a big horn dog and had many consenting sexual relationships with women.
I bet there were some women who loved the pussy grabbing.

Well from a courtroom and legal perspective:
A person caught on tape saying he did the offense to another person
Combined with victims testimony
Is usually enough for a conviction
Trump caught on tape saying he does stuff like that
Dozens of women have come forward
He's guilty!
EDIT: combined with multiple examples of lying and false testimony by accused person doesn't help in court either
Maybe he was making sure they were women like crocodile Dundee.Quote: AxelWolfFYI I have no doubt Trump is a big horn dog and had many consenting sexual relationships with women.

The song from the right, now that trump is accused of various things, is that Bill Clinton "lowered the bar" so it doesn't matter how trump is behaving.
By that standard, Franken's "grab 'em by the boobies" doesn't matter either.
I personally don't agree with that, but it is a logical consequence of the "lowered the bar" argument.

Sigh.
He wasn't touching her in the photo. It was parallax (the angle of the shot). It was a joke photo for the tour memory album, lIke a gag reel for a movie. Some on the plane claim she was in on it, and pretended to be asleep.
The entire tour was grab-ass, including her with other performers.(There's video proof).
Some of the people who toured with them have weighed in, and said it was a joke photo, they didn't hate each other, but weren't friends, and her raising an issue was opportunistic revisionism, not how it happened.
He had no intent to grab anyone inappropriately. I know him a little, and he's just not that kind of guy. (I went into a lot more detail over on DT at the time, not going to bore people here with an even longer recitation of it).
He was an entertainer and long-time writer for SNL at the time. That kind of humor was entirely in their wheelhouse.
Dozens of women who worked with him, on SNL, as a Senator, other things, put out written, attributable statements swearing to his integrity, his joking around (on the tour), his support of women in comedy and as team members. That part got ignored in the rush to judgment.
Trump, OTOH....
Years, even decades of stories, lawsuits, NDAs.
19 women complaining about him currently in non-consentual touching, groping, kissing, even statutory rape in at least one case. Almost surely many more constrained by NDAs they signed, since he's been using them for decades.
His own comments on Howard Stern and the Access Hollywood tape, bragging about going backstage to catch women naked, grabbing p!##y, forcing a kiss or a grope on them, etc.
How you even compare a smear job on Franken with the SELF-ADMITTED boorishness of Trump is just beyond me.

So your point is if many women willingly wanted sex with Donald that gave him the right and excuse to grope and rape those who didn't want it?

It's him getting caught saying lies on tape
He recently said the access Hollywood tape was a fraud

Franken admitted that it happened and he apologized, then resigned. Franken was a comedian at the time it happened. Franken likely has done anything sexually inappropriate while in politics (that we know of).
Trump has done nothing sexually inappropriate while in politics (that we know of). Before he went in for his run, he quite likely had multiple affairs early in his marriage to Melania and, as a playboy (even in Playboy videos), quite likely got around. He has self admitted to walking into Miss Universe changing rooms (collaborated by Universe contestants) and has admitted (through interviews with Stern) of sexual escapades.
So, far more than "locker room talk".
Since the bar is lowered, neither are disqualified for being president. Now whether Franken would get enough votes for the Dems, especially from women, is questionable. For that reason, and because of the current #MeToo movement, Franken shouldn't get the nomination, and he shouldn't run.
Frankly, there might be only two people *in* politics now for the Dems that I think have a shot: Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. Any other democrat candidate with a shot would come from outside of politics, and that would be a major Hollywood actor. Oprah could probably run and win.
Trump is ruining the Republican brand. With massive debt looming and a trade war coming with China and a stock market that's in correction mode, the midterms don't look good for the GOP.
Tell that to Barbra. She makes him out to be a saint. Not really, but you get my point.Quote: boymimboFranken admitted that it happened and he apologized, then resigned.
Who just said, "Its amazing how blind you are when the villain is on your side"
That goes for all sides and everyone.
Again, I'm not hating on Al Franken. I don't know enough about him or his or his politics to know if he would make a good president or not. I'm willing to give him a chance, I don't think he should be counted out.
Case in point: he capitulated too easily under the pressure of this summer's scandal
Trump is a strong president. He's just a lying conniving rapist con artist idiot as well

The simplest answer is the Supreme Court. It is pretty much neither "liberal" nor "conservative" now, which is as it should be. I think whoever HRC would have selected would have moved it too far to the left.
I think there would be more illegal immigrants here if HRC was President.
I think the "punish the rich" ideals of the Democrat party would be harder to stop if HRC was President.
If you think the pathetic budget bill Trump signed was bad, imagine what would have happened if HRC was President. At least there are SOME Republicans against the deficit explosion; there are no Democrats who feel that way.
I can go on and on.....

Supreme court leaning is the mandate of every president. Each one will try to move the court one way or the other. In fact if you feel Hillary would have been successful at changing the supreme court's leanings that could be argued as being a very successful president

Dems know that raising taxes is inevitable. You have a 1 trillion deficit this year while the economy is running excellently. You've lowered your revenues without reducing costs. The Republicans all of a sudden decided to throw away their conservative views on spending and go to town. It's disgusting.
Dems also know that they want to make life easier for DACA recipients. The GOP does too. As for "life easy for illegal aliens", ICE under Obama administration did not let up on illegal immigrants and while ICE removals did go up under Trump, they are nowhere near FY 2009 - 2013 removals averaging around 390,000 per year.

Raise and spend at least is better than cuts and spend, which is what Trump and the GOP are doing (with the Dem's blessing). The GOP stopped Obama from raising spending without cutting spending somewhere else. Where has that ideology gone? What happened to the fiscal conservatives? You can complain all you want about the Dems, but they haven't held the Senate since 2014 nor Congress since 2010.
You won't answer this. How do you defend tax cuts without spending cuts to match revenue. How do you defend a 1 trillion dollar deficit when the economy is so great? Where is Boz to say that his stocks are up 30% when all of the gains were wiped away with an ill-advised trade war?

As for "sanctuary states", you and I know what the law says. Being here unlawfully does not break any US criminal law. It breaks civil law. It is up to ICE to enforce immigration law, not LEO. California still communicates with ICE when unlawful immigrants break certain criminal laws and when those criminals are about to be released.
Tuition breaks for undocumented also exist in Texas, Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah and 10 other states besides California. That loophole could easily be closed by the GOP Congress by making its law more clear. I don't know why you pick on California, when there are plenty of red states that do the same thing.

Democrats tax and spend, Republicans borrow and spend. It's been like that since Nixon / Kennedy and both sides keep getting more and more extreme with every budget they work on. After the most recent budget, it is looking likely that Trump will be the most liberal spending president in history.
The only real difference between the two spending ideologies is pay now with taxes or pay later with debt. We pay more each year in debt than it would cost to build a Wall. The people Trump should be blaming for not having the money in the budget isn't the Democrats, it's Reagan and Bush who made sure our debt would cripple any future presidents ability take on any expensive pet project.
There is also the likely scenario that Mexico gave Trump money to build The Wall, but he already spent it on things other than trying to help our country.

Mostly because Trump is either too lazy or too incompetent to do anything about it. He whined that he didn't like spending bill, but signed it anyway because it's easier for him that actually working on a solution. That's not the Democrats, that's the Republican president and the Republican majority on both sides of Congress
Quote: boymimboTuition breaks for undocumented also exist in Texas, Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah and 10 other states besides California.
Harvard, Yale, and Trump's alma-mater provide tuition-free education to any qualified student without regard to national origin. The military gives the GI Bill to servicemembers who aren't US citizens. It's not a matter of making life easier for illegals, it's that having a more educated country makes the quality of life better for everyone. Even Trump agrees with that
Quote: AxelWolfEvidence that he rushes up to strange women smack their asses or grab their crotches?
I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.
He said he does it, then a bunch of women came out and said he did it to them.

I agree but axelwolfs response is he only SAID he did it. You didn't actually see him do it.
And the corroborating females are not to be believed since everyone knows women love being groped by rich guys

People who do like Trump are guilty of sexual assault
Tell you what. If i see you Axel I will rush up to you and grab you by your balls. I am sure:
A) you really wanted it
B) I'm not guilty of sexual assault
(Of course I would be guilty and no I never would grab axles crotch. Ewww!
I'm not sure he has balls, to be honest.
