And the House GOP is going to let election security funding lapse.

I dislike the rabid liberal wing of the party almost as much as I dislike rabid right-wing folks. Neither one of them can seem to shut the fuck up about things they think I have to do in order to be a good American/person/citizen/human being. I wish we could just go back to laughing at them like nutters instead of thinking we had to bring them into (or keep them inside of) the tent. I might just feel this way because I work on a college campus and have to hear these dumbasses cry about their social/political vision every day...and the university frowns when I tell them to get the fuck off my lawn, since it's not really my lawn. |

I know college professors heavily lean left but your statement made me wonder about college students. There is a chart that shows the neutral trend decreasing from 51.9 in 2000 to 42.3 in 2016. But its still a fairly large %. https://www.theatlantic.com/educatio...entury/525135/ Quote:

The Mike McFaul question from yesterday is ridiculous. The administration continues to show itself as either woefully unprepared or incredibly malicious, and maybe both.

Heck, Trump would probably ask the Russians to "question" Brennan and Clapper and Comey, too.

Mueller's list of exhibits for the Manafort trial includes communications with Tad Devine and Kilimnik. Kilimnok is a Russian already indicted and Devine was Bernie's campaign manager. Devine left the firm in 2014 when he joined Bernie's campaign and all the exhibits are from 2010-2014.

Trump has asked Bolton to invite Putin to Washington in the Fall. Maybe a guest for his big military parade?

Doesn't seem like GOP incumbents would want that reminder of the past week shortly before the election.

Now we know why Trump wants the parade: Putin must have demanded to inspect and assess the US weaponry and capacity... Not even Trump could get away with taking him around military hardware in factories and on bases, so the only way is to parade them through the streets and invite Putin! Makes perfect sense now!

Trump says stock market gains since election give him opportunity to wage a trade war: 'We’re playing with the bank's money'
Bank's money, people's jobs and farmer's. Oh well, at least we weren't taken advantage of by, um, I guess having more than double the stock market gains we've had since Trump too office. I'm starting to think Trump night not know what he's talking about in trade. Last edited by mckerney : 07-20-2018 at 09:56 AM. |

It's totally understandable, given that the press is so barraged by absurdities and lies in this environment, but it's a completely bizarre notion that our President still clearly doesn't even understand the basic concepts of national debt, budget deficit, trade deficit, and stock market valuation...and essentially nobody cares beyond it being "baked in" to the generic outrage. In this thread, I think we saw the phrase "enthusiastically ignorant." That seems to be it, right? Don't know, don't wanna know. |

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know.
Politically, though, it's quite damning because we were told over and over that the President had no knowledge of any payment.

Whoops. It's hard to keep track of Trump's mistress hush money payments.
But aren't there denials regarding this woman as well?

I think this is the playboy model whose story was bought by the National Enquirer and then buried before the election.
I do believe there were denials of this story as well. Just not the well-known Air Force One interview where he denied things. Last edited by Kodos : 07-20-2018 at 12:00 PM. |

I don't think cheating on your wife, or being embarrassed enough/worried enough about it to pay off the person is impeachable, so I mostly don't care about this at all. And Trump has admitted to so very much worse than this that I don't see it impacting anything in 2020, so the trashy details of this I just have no interest in. However, I'm very interested to learn if the handling of any payments/reimbursements were done in such a way that violated Campaign Finance Law, which was something that came up many times in the Stormy Daniels conversations.

I agree with you. No one cares about him sleeping around, he's gotten that pass by mostly everyone like it or not. The time to bring up the trashy details was before the elections. With Cohen seemingly in Mueller's sights, that would imply possible campaign finance problem. That would be sweet. |

I see Trump is going with the tried and true Deflect option #3 out of the playbook...NFL players and the anthem.

I don't think the personal life stuff is important. The issue would be more that the party that never shut up about "family values" supports this. Just pointing out that they never cared about that stuff and are massive hypocrites (what's new?). My biggest takeaway is that Cohen has to be the worlds worst fucking lawyer in the world. Why the fuck would you record this stuff? |

I mentioned earlier in this thread about a real problem with either no theology being taught at all in churches, or a watered-down version being given out by preachers who just want to tickle ears. Here’s an horrific example.
Reference: God, Trump and the meaning of morality - The Washington Post If you’re part of a theological tradition that wrongly interpreted Scriptures when it came to slavery, Jim Crow, interracial marriage, and the Civil Rights movement, you might want to consider the possibility that it’s also wrong about refugees, immigrants, and Trump.

Ben: I had never heard the 15,000 mile-wide heaven bit. I'm familiar with the numerology around the end times, but do you know where the precise dimensions for heaven come from?

If you take Revelation 21&22 100% literally, and then somehow twist it to claim the city mentioned there is the only aspect of heaven (at least one giant leap, imho, and probably two,) you'd have a city that's 1,500 miles wide, 1,500 miles high, and 1,500 miles long. If that's what she's referring to, then she's off tenfold. *shurg*

Good read. I've noticed something interesting in our national basketball league - most of the big budget teams over the past 2-3 years have been making conscious efforts to copy the game-day experience of the NBA, and this has included national anthems before the game, which was basically reserved for the Finals previously. I personally think it's a bit ridiculous and so does the rest of the crowd for the most part - not a lot of singing along.

He also tweeted deep criticism of the Washington Post's coverage of his Korean "diplomacy."
Then, in a 100% unrelated move, a half hour later tweeted his thoughts about antitrust actions against Amazon. Totally normal. |
