Remember that? All of a sudden this is story number one and she hasn't even proved she is telling the truth (no blue dress), a porn star for chirissakes! Hypocritical leftist children one and all. LMAO. BTW,if he messed around with tis tramp he wasn't the president, hell he wasn't even running so iyt really was private wasn't it? Clinton was a sitting president and he did it on the oval office! Hypocrites. That's a fair point. I heard one leftist pundit condemn Trump for his coarse language, but the same pundit was mute when Clinton had oral sex in the Oval Office. JFK and the rest of the Kennedy dynasty make Trump look like a virginal monk. The different reactions are as hypocritical as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Forbes he would actually be richer if he had simply put his money in the bank and left it alone putting even his business acumen into question. Instead of putting every dollar into the interest account may have been smart but not doing it isn’t stupid given that he used the money to create thousands of jobs, fame, a household name brand and ultimately a top position in the White House. C’mon, hearing all us fairly broke people yak on about how to beat utilize millions of dollars is kind of lame considering he actually did well with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplybill Posted March 13, 2018 #155 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I think Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump will get along well when they finally meet face-to-face. The self-imposed insular life of a paranoid dictator must be mind-numbingly boring. Remember his father’s bizarre infatuation with Madeline Albright, and the long visits with Dennis Rodman? President Trump, with his eccentric personality and expertise at remaining spotlight-worthy, is currently the most interesting person on the planet. Kim Jong Un would be star-struck, meeting a longtime celebrity like Donald Trump, rubbing elbows with the man-of-the-hour. I believe the catalyst for Pres. Kim’s offer to attend negotiations was his realization that he was watching on television as the world gathered for the Winter Olympics, sitting at home just miles away, unable to participate. Even brutal dictators have a longing to be ‘part of the gang’. Maybe Mr. Trump’s eccentricity and in-person warmth will be what causes Mr. Kim to abandon his seclusive nature.

Tillerson was told on Friday by the CoS that he was being fired (remember his sudden illness in Africa). https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/03/rex-tillerson-firing-timeline/555464/ Tillerson was making a side deal with the European signatories to salvage the flawed Iran treaty with few changes thereby blatantly disregarding the president's orders. This in and of itself is enough to get him fired. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/tillerson-fired-rogue-bid-save-iran-nuke-deal/ Tillerson disagreed fundamentally with Trump,his boss, on climate change, Qatar and other subjects. His obvious ignorance about the North Korea talks speaks volumes that he has been on the way out for a while. Tillerson was a choice to calm the hysterics when trump was elected and never a first choice and his days were always limited. Bye Rex, don't let the door hit you in the **** on your way out .

No outside the cult we have a president who differs fundamentally with his SecState dismissing him.

It's here. Look at our state department, we don't even have an ambassador to South Korea right now. Why not? Because Trump is all we need (his words) That kind of hubris is dangerous and when its coming from the POTUS its dangerous for everyone. I think the vast majority of the fallout from Trump's reign will be felt years down the road though. A crushing deficit, increased personal taxes, isolation on the international stage, environmental disaster and a strengthened oligarchy being a few of the more predictable outcomes. I'm equally if not more concerned about the intangible outcomes however, literally the soul of America. We have a president who has actively worked to erode faith in American institutions, specifically the other two branches of government and any law enforcement agency which has authority over him, has floated the idea of changing the first amendment because he didn't like the coverage he was getting, lies constantly - somewhere around 5 times a day on average - often about things which are wholly inconsequential to anything beyond his ego, whose policies and actions have emboldened white supremacists and brought them into the mainstream conversation, who has demonstrated repeatedly his willingness to place wholly unqualified individuals into high ranking positions they have no qualifications for, who has completely disregarded national security as it relates to security clearances, who is still to this day flaunting the emoluments clause of the constitution, who hired his own relatives to high ranking positions within the WH and who is ignoring his own national security team's recommendations. The result of all of which will be felt long down the road. Its really crazy if you read that fat list above none of that has anything to do with left vs right politics.

pallidin Posted March 14, 2018 #175 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Uh, Kim's "sneak agenda" is to solicit money with this BS position. Kim has zero true intention of abandoning his continuing nuclear ambitions. This was warned of, by other's, that Kim would manipulate his current condition to seek monies and covertly divert those international monies into his military. I hope the US is not blind on this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
