Members DRW50 Posted January 5, 2018 Members Share Posted January 5, 2018 In some ways I wonder if the GOP is glad that the sideshow keeps on, distracting everyone, while these types of judicial nominees sail through: https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/trump-judicial-nominee-claims-gay-judges-shouldnt-hear-lgbt-cases/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted January 6, 2018 Members Share Posted January 6, 2018 This is so f*cked up. Thank goodness she has a Go Fund Me account and people are coming through for her. I hope whoever did this goes to prison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 That makes me nervous as it makes me wonder who is now making all these decisions for him in his absence (or is anyone making them? Are they all just standing around, checking their phones?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 Has Trump ever been the one fully making decisions? For almost a year, I've gotten the feeling that nobody is in charge. Just a staff tiptoeing around an explosive 'personality' hoping he won't blow and trying to cover his tracks when he has the inevitable tantrum or outburst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm not sure what to think about all this talk of Oprah being our next president. Part of me balks at another unqualified billionaire being elected due to a cult of personality. Another part of me thinks it would be a good thing to break the barrier of a black women becoming president. Anything is better than another four years of Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I think she'd be a very good President - she's always seemed incredibly intelligent and has good survival skills - but I think her support would be overestimated, mostly because white female voters have shown they will vote for any Republican any time, and I doubt white men will have much support for her. Oprah running would also make it easy for the media to stay in their bubble, which is one of the reasons they were so helpful to Trump in 2015 and 2016.

Members JaneAusten Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think that underestimates Oprah Winfrey. Sure it's cult of personality at this point, but she is entirely self made and successful. She lived in poverty, was abused as a teenager, and went on to likely be the most successful woman in media. She's an entrepreneur, a CEO, a humanitarian, and an activist. I'm not confident she'd run and running for president would change a lot of things for her, does she want that. Putting all that aside I think she'd be great. She's relatable and based on her upbringing and her own experiences, empathy has been her strongest trait IMO. And she's also intelligent and as Carl said a survivor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
