monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The rank, vulgar, bald-faced dishonesty of the GOP has no bounds. None.
Trey Gowdy tonight on Hannity

Yeah I can’t think of worst way to investigate something than to let Congress do it

Gowdy enthusiastically led a two year long investigation into Benghazi.

Trump seems to believe, with some justification, that the cultivation of anger against outsiders won him the Republican nomination and the presidency in 2016.

Who penned that steaming pile of excrement?

Clinton exposed herself as a narcissistic criminal while in her role as SoS, and did nothing to reassure the voting public that anything was going to be different if she won the top job.

She alienated over half of the population with derisive name-calling, and made her support base feel like they weren't up to the task long before the election.

In fact, Trump couldn't have wished for a better supporter than Clinton.

@Builder,

They investigated Clinton for 27 years continuously and couldent pin shyt on her. Trump on the other hand hides his crooked self behind the presidency. To be a Trump republican today is to be a bald faced liar. He lies constantly and his enablers shake their heads and say yes, yes, the most honest mafia don we have ever had.

All that indicates, is that she's a competent criminal. Her philandering husband visited paedophile island 26 times, but swears on a bible it was just for "business", right?

I did not have sex with that girl. I just looked down while she sucked my Johnson dry, and wiped it on her dress.

You folks live in a dream world.

@Builder,

I'd say you're the noe living in the dream world. It'Bill was splitting hairs, true, but whes not that Hillary was a competent criminal, it's that there was nothing there. Benghazi investigations, each one came up showing nothing , and the gop prom[tly started another one which also found nothing. Bill was splitting hairs, but for most of the 60s, 70s, into at least the 80s, "sex" meant vagibal sex, and a blowjob was foreplay, not actual sex in general parlance. And Monica admitted it was consensual. Tacky but consensual. So whether bill lied falls in a gray area. And of course we now have a sexual predator in the white house, self-admitted, and the gop and the religious right ignore that and go all holier-than-thou on the Clintons. The gop is the original party witch hunting.

@MontereyJack,

Is English your second language?

And do you always stutter like this?

From memory, Clinton was impeached.

Lots of reasons to be thankful that the president you now have, is not the president the bigshots and MSM were sure they'd get.

Remember what would be your reality, had Clinton's program been implemented; war without end. Ahmen.

@Builder,

Yes he was, for lying to an overreaching Congress putting him under oath asking him about cheating on his wife with an enthusiastic partner.........

Trump has decided he is not bound by the constitution or decency....his imperial lumpiness refuses to provide even the most meager amount of information regarding his business flops, his sexual escapades, his infidelity, his foreign involvements, and frankly, he couldn't get a clearance to change the florescent bulbs where I and many of the so called DEEP state worked.

@glitterbag,

So thanks for the admission that you've got nothing.

Much like the current batch of Democratic hopefuls.

End of story.

@glitterbag,

I should give this sentence a little more attention, though;

Quote:

Which looks exactly like Shiff's current bunch of nothings.

Quote:

She was a political intern; do you not know the difference between infidelity, and public duty??

Finally, Johnson has benefited from critics whose mode of analysis is that anything and everything he does is dumb, dishonest, wretched and ruinous. Lately, they warn that he will bring about the end of the country itself. Similarly in the United States, some anti-Trump pundits have been forecasting economic decline and doom for three years straight as the economy continues to grow and unemployment plummets.

Bad things can — and, inevitably, will — happen. In the meantime, what we have is a trans-Atlantic case of boys crying wolf. Does it ever occur to the critics that, by constantly inferring or predicting the worst about either man, they make their less-than-worst moments look good, and their good ones seem positively great?

Regular readers of this column know that I have no wish to see Trump re-elected (though I am delighted by Corbyn’s drubbing). If they share my wish, they should heed Thursday’s lesson: Like Johnson, Trump is a formidable incumbent. To oppose him with Corbynite candidates and progressive primal screams is to ensure his re-election.

@hightor,

Corbyn would have been a wonderful pm despite what your fascist source claims.

Trump is a traitor, an American in Trump's pocket.

The protests have already begun. The NHS is not for sale, and if Johnson isn't careful the riots that beset him when he was mayor will be like a walk in the park compared to what's to come.

It looks like the U.K. / maybe just Britain—who knows at this point—is undergoing a political realignment. I was sent this thread because I showed interest in understanding what’s happening.

I haven’t even read it yet, but if anyone in the U.K. has an opinion about it, I’d be interested to hear it.

Yes, he had a pretty ambitious platform. I don't know if Stephens qualifies as a full-fledged fascist but you're right, his political views are not sympathetic to socialism. But don't blame him for the devastating Labor loss. The votes weren't there. Why?

@hightor,

Anyone who pisses over Corbyn like that is a fascist ****.

I'm not blaming him for Labour's loss. It's a proper noun, try to use the correct spelling.

He is however, a fascist **** whose views I'm not remotely interested in.

We need to protect the NHS from Trump.

@Lash,

Really? Normally you make your mind up without such bother and tell us what we should be thinking.

If you genuinely want to know I'll tell you, but I think you'd rather go on making **** up.

@Lash,

On that we agree.

That's not a very astute comment, Lash. And besides, you cancelled me, remember?

Anyway, nothing in the quoted paragraphs suggests that I would vote for a conservative Republican and nowhere did I endorse conservative Republican policies. (I find Johnson loathsome — I'm not a Tory either.) It's useful to read the opinions of people who don't share your political perspective if you have any interest in adapting your message to reach potential voters who aren't already part of your base. And it's dangerous to underestimate the appeal and the political acumen of a Trump or a Johnson.

@izzythepush,

I’d like to know your opinion.
I don’t even have a handle on regular internal U.K. politics; there’s no chance I’d understand the intricacies of this recent shift.

I was under the impression that Corbyn had a much better chance than shown by the result. Did you? What do you think happened?
