Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 18, 2016 Members Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) @DRW50, Christie is hyped in much the same manor that Giuliani is hyped, except Giuliani seems to be a far fouler human being. Giuliani did one good thing in his career which was to marginalize the mob which led to them being diminished in stature. He parlayed that into mayor of NYC which he was mostly mediocre at and did much to inflame police brutality, deaths in police custody and racial violence while simultaneously relegating the working class and poor to guests in their own city while Disney-fying the Big Apple. What no one talks about is that even the White working class who were some of Giuliani's biggest supporters had had their fill of him when September 11, 2001 happened and Giuliani became the self appointed "America's Mayor", parading around lower Manhattan and 'Ground Zero' without protective gear, setting a poor example for emergency workers and volunteers who were doing 9, 10 hour shifts in an area still enveloped in smoke and toxins without protective gear. Giuliani lying to the public and telling them lower Manhattan was "Open for Business" when the acrid smell of burning flesh, twisted metal and smoke could be smelled in Brooklyn and as far as Washington Heights. He didn't even have the class to step aside when Bloomberg was elected mayor after a postponed election could finally take place, instead placing himself on a guest spot on Saturday Night Live, yukking it up and trying to further burnish his career prospects. He's been living off of 9/11 ever since. Honestly, as much disregard and lack of respect as I have for Christie, I have nothing but contempt for Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Members JaneAusten Posted August 18, 2016 Members Share Posted August 18, 2016 The NYC Parks I guess removed the statue. Their reasoning: “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He expresses regret... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CqLobIcXYAA1KNy.jpg:small Then, he (errr, his speech writers) seem to borrow Hillary's stronger together theme: "We are one nation.

Members marceline Posted August 19, 2016 Members Share Posted August 19, 2016 He's incapable of "pivoting" for real. Whenever he acts halfway normal he follows it up with insanity. I suspect that sometime in the next few days he'll fire a gun into the crowd and piss on an American flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 19, 2016 Members Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) He's tried it before and it hasn't worked. The press will once again, just like the last 'pivot', breathlessly declare this 'the moment' and go all in for a horse race narrative the race has been sadly lacking for the past few months, but Trump will blow again. He can't not. He hates being on-message, he hates apologizing, he hates not just Being Himself. As Josh Marshall from TPM says, this is who he is. I give it five days, tops. The media will try very hard to keep it going though. They need the numbers of a closer race. Edited August 19, 2016 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 19, 2016 Members Share Posted August 19, 2016 Not even five days. He'll crack by his next rally. He can't control himself when he's in front of his fans. They demand the bomb thrower, the insults, the attacking of the press and dammit, he's going to give it to them. Not only will he give it to them, he'll double down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted August 19, 2016 Members Share Posted August 19, 2016 I just found out this morning that we had a Naked Trump statue here in Cleveland. I assume because the convention was here. It's already been taken away. I'm hoping another one pops up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 19, 2016 Members Share Posted August 19, 2016 Paul Manafort has resigned from Trump's campaign. The growing Russian connections that were not reported are the reason that is being reported why, because it's started to become a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
