Politics And Current Events

I see that Cory Booker has been vetted by the Clinton Crime Family.

This would please Mrs Tif, but as was noted his replacement to the Senate would be appointed by a Republican governor. That should be a non-starter.

I just looked it up and it honestly broke my heart a little bit.
WTF do the Clintons have on these people? It's freaking creepy.

What are you talking about? He's being considered as a potential vp pick and your takeaway is that the Clintons have something on him?

I think she is saying that she thought he had morals and wouldn't run with someone devoid of them.

Yes.

Until today I used to get messages everyday from my friend who had been raped when she was younger. She would ask me why i don't plan to vote in this election and we would go back and forth.

And then the other night I realized that she was scared for herself and for other women. She was scared for me.

It will be the ultimate sexual assault perp getting away with it story of Trump wins. She's afraid people will be able to do anything they want to women, to each other, but to women especially.

The other night my friend and I went through a list of all the women we know who have been sexually harassed or assaulted. Out of a good number of our friends most were. Even we were. It was insane.

I can't stop seeing things about Trump.
People won't talk to their parents.
Idk why but it feels like such a betrayal to have your own parents vote for that man. I won't let this idiocy divide my family but I have to say, just talking to my parents on the phone. I can't think of them the same way.
I can't wrap my head around it.

Makes me feel like I can't leave my children alone with them.... Probably come home saying the N word or something.

I'm not sure you can teach empathy.

My dad is the same way. Trump appeals in a big way to boomers that grew up fearing foreigners, fearing change, and pursuing the American Dream by pulling up their bootstraps. The faux aura of him being a self-made hard worker somehow overshadows everything else.

Hopefully next election shifts focus from impressing boomer voters to the generation that was sold college as the only way to advance.

They are both terrible.

Keep in mind that Hillary enabled her husband to diddle interns and then shamed the accusers.

[grunthy]

Some of you people are looney with what you think will happen with a trump presidency.

[slappybrown]

You've repeatedly stated that Hillary would "ruin" America.

[count2infinity]

I don't know if he's said that, but I do recall him saying that Bush and Obama have already ruined the country... not much ruining left to do, I'd imagine.

[Troy Loney]

Considering how markets react to news of Trump gaining ground, it's pretty safe to say that a lot of people think Trump would be terrible for the economy.

[grunthy]

Ruin as in economically and such, not that people will just go around raping and sexually abusing people with no consequences because who is elected... dear lord that is completely different.

[slappybrown]

People think that a Trump presidency will legalize rape?

Not legalize, but look just a couple posts up.

[mikey]

So you're saying Trump won't carry on Bubba's initiative of National Sexual Harassment Day? Hmph...

The strengthening of the executive branch has been growing for quite some time. I read that Schlesinger book a while ago "The Imperial Presidency" and it outlined how the executive has become a pretty unilateral branch with regards to foreign policy. I think that in itself is enough to make people terrified of a Trump presidency.

Can you come outside of hyperbole a little, then maybe discuss.

People are saying he's going to implement rape quotas.

In this sense, the Trump presidency could be a positive one - in theory - because everyone would be diving on the bomb to prevent it from exploding, so to speak...in short, the repercussions of him being in charge in that we return to the actual rules so that he doesn't have as much say/power/etc.

Full on Sharia Law, as predicted, notwithstanding...

What about a woman that cares only about power, money and can get away with breaking laws that all of us would go to federal prison for?

What? After electing that lunatic, the country and politicians will then act rationally to prevent further national disgrace.

Couldn't disagree more.

Are you talking about Martha Stewart or Oprah?

With Clinton we get an oligarchical 1% kleptocracy, with Trump we get Trump.
