The Politics Thread

Betsy DeVos asked Twitter a question. It did not go well.

I can't help being wary of these "White House staffer" Twitters, especially since that Bannon stuff is pretty obvious given the claims of how he treated women at Breitbart.

CNN just confirmed portions of the infamous Russian dossier have been corroborated.

So we're just going to get this [!@#$%^&*] all over again.

Not only is the Bannon stuff pretty obvious but why should anyone be more shocked about his references to women when there's Trump.

 

It's interesting that they haven't confirmed the "salacious" part yet.  People don't find it odd that someone who uses being a germaphobe as the reason he couldn't be in that video, loves to grab other people's hands so much.

 

He is telling the truth about that video because the video they supposedly have of him is much worse (it's one of those rare instances that I was told something that my mind hasn't processed).  I'm just going to guess that someone heard there was a video and filled in the blanks.

 I agree 100%. Bashing Trump does NOT work and will NOT work. The Dems need to give reasons why people should vote for them. Yet they continue to bash Trump and not give reasons to vote FOR them.

Unfortunately in 4years......because the republican governor just signed a bill making Mo. a right to work state. he probably won;t run for re-election after he tanks the state. and Kander was just like that....which is why it depressed many of us when he lost. 

true...even though there are MANY MANY reasons why trump won the EC. Dems hopefully will learn. if not it'll be a repeat of last Nov.

SMH.

 

Federal agents conduct immigration enforcement raids in at least six states

[DramatistDreamer]

This administration is full of liars and crooks.

Then there's their leader, who can't be trusted with a set of housekeys, let alone classified documents.

Not really sure that's the best comparison...

If the police were to come across a violent felon in the course of their duties and that person were deported, I'm for that. I'm also for sending people back right after they complete their prison sentence.  Raiding people's homes though, that's some creepy Gestapo like measures. I'm not for that, especially since they seem to be taking people who aren't felons. That's just traumatizing people when they should just focus on the most dangerous, imo. And yes, I know we have plenty of criminals here, but since the age of the penal colony is over we're stuck with our own.
