Politics And Current Events

Parkland, Fla., students and families flew to Washington, D.C., on the Patriots’ plane.

On one of them, at least. IIRC, the Patriots actually have two private Boeing 767-300ERs. Both of them are ex-American birds that were retired in 2016.

Sounds about right...

Two 12 year olds here posted videos on Instagram Thursday night saying they were going to shoot up their (and my son’s) school, posing with pellet guns and fake bomb vests. Sheriff’s deputies arrested both kids the following morning, and the upped the school’s police presence for the day (including the Humvee they got gratis from the DoD a few years ago ). It looked like Tel Aviv more than BFE SC for the day. I guess it’s the new norm.

Kudos to the liberal Los Angeles Times for having the integrity to publish the truth about John F. Kennedy's disgusting behavior. "JFK may have been a worse philanderer than Trump."

How is it that a porn star’s lawyer has more guts than the Republican Party?

No one cares that Trump had/probably is having affairs; that's an element of his character that has been public record for decades. The issue - for me - is that the hush payments are clear evidence that the President is blackmail able, which transcends this specific aspect. It is also not newsworthy to assert JFK boned everything that moved five decades ago.

But if you want to go down the morals path, in those intervening 50+ years, there is only one side of the political divide in this country that's built their brand on 'family values'. And that group has gone radio silent on that front since Trump happened. So it was apparently not so much of a core belief system; it was more like a hobby.

True jfk didn’t have hush agreements. The media and other politicians hushed them for him.

Abortion and gay marriage are legal and we know that adultery and teenage girls are now on the table.

What does family values mean in 2018? Bakeries not making wedding cakes for queers?

That was the case for politicians of every stripe, pretty much up to the day Gary Hart more or less dared the media to follow him and find evidence of philandering. Which they did.

[columbia]

No. They only gave Democrats a free pass....duh.

[Trip McNeely]

I’m going to write an article about how Andrew Jackson disliked brown people more than Trump, just for the kudos

Again, no one is really surprised that Trump is an absolute scumbag. Who is surprised he doesn’t believe in the sanctity of marriage when the guy has absolutely no moral compass on anything.

The issue here is the blackmailing aspect. I mean ****, Stormys lawyer is basically blackmailing Trump in the public eye, imagine what is happening behind closed doors

[tifosi77]

It is worth noting the Trump began his relationship with his second wife while still married to his first, and he began his relationship with his third wife while still married to his second. The infidelity aspect could not be less of a thing.

wait. Wait. WAIT. Let me see if I understand. You're saying: The Hill puts out misleading tweets with clickbaity headlines? I can't believe that.

This is certainly an interesting interview.

BREAKING: Trump has just received a court summons today in a case alleging he is violating the Constitution (the foreign emoluments clause and the domestic emoluments clause).

The real subtext is that the NDA was signed under physical threat and intimidation. Mr. Cohen is seemingly going to have some problems continuing with his chosen profession.

He's actually my favorite poster in this thread. I can't help but agree with most of his points and respect how articulate and well written they are.

I also think the intellectual subtleties of his views are lost on most of the people here

Godric, what joy do you get out of coming back time after time?
