US Politics XIII: Don Jr. The Worst Judgment of Anyone in the World.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Trump recently gathered with generals and other military leaders for a meeting about the Mexican border, according to two people familiar with the chain of events who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe the discussions. At the meeting, which was held in the White House Situation Room, an aide passed Trump a note informing him that Cain was in the building.

Trump summoned Cain to the meeting, and then told the military brass that they needed to come up with a “9-9-9” plan for the border. The joke fell flat.

The pro life party. Save a baby, kill the mother

Rep. Tinderholt (R), an Air Force veteran, has been married five times and argues that the measure is necessary to make women “more personally responsible.”

How ' bout thinking of women as people, first and not just effing baby ovens, asshat Rep Tinderholt!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

A guy who has been married FIVE times thinks women need him (and the death penalty no less) to force them to be personally responsible.

Are they impregnating themselves? Where's the responsibility threat of death penalty for the men?

Let's not ever have a female President, and let's just keep sinking down further in that misogyny swamp.

Sure, presumably if the hussies were more personally responsible, he'd have less child support to pay.

He also had a restraining order against him for beating one of the wives so he's clearly an exemplary human.

Lovely. This seems to be a pattern among so many of these male politicians who want to control what women do with their bodies and punish them for that. Interesting psychological study, to say the least.

I'd like to see Buttigieg get the VP nom, just for the debates.

Same. Mother!

Agree.

Today, and this could change tomorrow, a Harris/Buttigieg ticket would be the way to go.

One wonders if he isn’t positioning himself in such a manner. And showing off his uncanny ability to speak to the Obama/Trump voter and reframe “values.”

I think Warren, like Hillary, is actually the most prepared candidate with detailed, comprehensive policies written to create deep change to the system we have in order to make it more just. Which is great

However, Donald Trump will not be beaten with better policies, unfortunately.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I feel Warren would get eaten alive in a debate with Trump. And that's a sad commentary on the state of our politics, but true nonetheless. She'd walk into every trap he sets, and her clearly superior intelligence and grasp of the issues will get lost over Trump inspired gaffes.

Clark’s article notes that in more than 50 legal opinions over some 150 years justice department lawyers have interpreted the clause in a way that barred any foreign payments or gifts except for ones Congress approved. But filings by the department since June 2017 reveal a new interpretation that “… would permit the president – and all federal officials – to accept unlimited amounts of money from foreign governments, as long as the money comes through commercial transactions with an entity owned by the federal official,” the professor writes.

Slippery slope keeps getting slippier

Yes Mayor Pete really needs to stop attacking poor Mike Pence's Christian faith?

And you do support a pussy grabbing porn star President,Mike,and look the other way 24/7. How's that jiving with your Christian faith? Not to mention cager of children murderous dictator loving good people on both sides obstruction of justice and countless other immoral violations of the teachings of Jesus.

Pete Buttigieg isn't "trying to be more liberal", he's merely pointing out the obvious. Yes it's a fair question as to why he didn't do it in Indiana a long time ago. But whether or not Pence thinks Pete was born gay, talk about completely irrelevant.

Now Trumpy's plan is to release detained immigrants into sanctuary cities

 

[DaveC]

he clearly thinks he's punishing these sanctuary cities, but he's obviously too dumb to realize that the entire point of these cities declaring themselves as sanctuaries was to say "we want more immigrants here and they will be safe to live their lives".

so great, yes go ahead donnie - dump all those terrible criminal illegals (who mostly just want an opportunity to improve the lives of their families) onto those dumb liberal evil-democrat-shithole sanctuary cities (where ice can't get to them). that'll show em!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I think he's putting them there because he figures that dropping them off in poorly managed liberal hellscapes will convince them to go back to one of the three Mexicos they came from.

Fuhrer Poopypants is having himself a night on the Twitters

 

[BEAL]

Is anyone else a little worried by the fact that Trump and his admin seem to be getting away with whatever they want ?

This seemed like a really low week for this country.

He’s said a lot of horrible things, but other than fire people , what has he gotten accomplished?

 

[BEAL]

It’s not the policies

It’s the lawlessness.

It’s stacking the courts.

It’s defying congress.

The democrats have done nothing since taking over the house other than send letters. They keep playing by “rules” and Trumps team aren’t going to follow them.

We still have no Mueller report
Children are still in cages

I just feel we are slipping closer and closer to something really wicked soon

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Lord Douchebag von Poopypants' fun filled Twitter weekend has extended well into Executive Time this morning.

 

[Irvine511]

I feel as if I’ve read they are really freaked out by the Don McGhan part of the report.

And that it’s now 150 pages, instead of 400.

And Rudy wants it down to 50.

Because we live in Russia.

my heart is breaking watching the scene at notre dame cathedral right now.

 

[Hewson]

my heart is breaking watching the scene at notre dame cathedral right now.

Yeah, that is not a small fire.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Maybe they should dump some water on it.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

It's so heartbreaking to see Notre Dame Cathedral burning to the ground. Why does Trump have to inject his opinion regarding how to fight the fire? He always makes things worse.

I hope they can get some of the relics out, hate to say it but I doubt they can.

 

[Diemen]

my heart is breaking watching the scene at notre dame cathedral right now.

This. Just devastating. 8 centuries of history going up in flames.

 

[anitram]

Looks like a total loss.

I'm glad I was able to see it in person, on a couple of different occasions. It was really such a beautiful place.

 

[prbiker15]

What a sad moment in history. Will never forget hearing those bells in person.

Bernie Sanders is killing it on Fox News

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Feels wrong to talk about this in US politics. .

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Bernie Sanders is killing it on Fox News

I turned it on. He's making that Martha MacCallum look foolish.

Good for Bernie for agreeing to go on Fox. Of course the audience is full of his supporters.
