The idea of him groping women left and right

Leading up to his Senate run in 2008 and as a Senator WHILE TAKING PICTURES with constituents strains credulity for me. I don't doubt that, throughout his long career as a comedian and writer for SNL and USO participants, he has done some sophomoric and juvenile stuff that has not been sensitive to women but I'm not yet convinced that he should resign, especially since he has made apologies and submitting himself to an Ethics Investigation, which is a helluva lot more accountability than what Trump, et. al have shown.

Trump NOT lying would be the only thing that would be newsworthy

He lies so much it's practically expected that every word that comes out of his mouth is a LIE and/or delusion.

*Ugh*



Hope Schumer has "the talk" with both of them VERY soon. Nothing good will come from voting for this POS bill or supporting any part of the Trump/GOP agenda for the American people and Republicans in their states will hate them and refuse to vote for them all the same because they still have a "D" attached to their names.


DUers in those states: You know what to do.......

*Ugh* he sure does

I was actually glad that he didn't run for a second term as Governor here in Indiana and instead hitched his "star" to what I thought was going to be the lost cause of Trump's candidacy for POTUS and then we would be totally rid of him politically, probably forever.

Exactly

If everything is working great now without these things, than that means we probably shouldn't mess with success, amirite?


During last year's election, despite the economy pumping along thanks to President Obama's stewardship, Komrade Donnie was waltzing around the country essentially calling it a hellhole filled with shiftless welfare kings and queens demanding handouts, massive unemployment, and, average (white) people full of "economic anxiety". But now, approximately 10 months in with no major policy proposals enacted by Congress, including his own budget, everything is wonderful and fantastic, simply because a slim (electoral college) majority of the country gave him the keys to the WH. It's a miracle I tells you!!!

So

If there are “more Americans working today than ever before”, why is Trump running around talking about too many people on welfare and looking to gut welfare programs. Or is this just one of those things that just magically changed once Trump was elected POTUS?

Supposing for a second that all of this is true

What does that actually mean in terms of the primary election where she won several million more votes cast by people than Bernie over which Hillary/DNC had absolutely ZERO control of?

Do Miranda Rights prevent somebody from being prosecuted or something?



The way Republicans talk about basic Miranda rights, you'd think that scores of obviously guilty criminals are getting off scot-free because of them (which obviously isn't happening). We've been prosecuting terrorists, Muslim-born or otherwise, for decades now without any problems. We've housed terrorists in Federal Prisons here in the US for decades now without any problems. How did 9/11 change anything so dramatically that we have to offshore terror suspects and deprive them of due process?
