But let's wait and see how quickly this gets swept under the rug before we're on to the next thing. No one thinks this will lead to impeachment though. It's a criminal lawsuit. Don't see a lawsuit bringing this clown down. Just glad some form of justice is being doled out. Possibly this can lead to some further crimes being discovered but I don't see this as bringing him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you also said it was people throwing **** against a wall to see if it sticks just because he isn't "their guy" which is a total load of crap. The man is corrupt. His sons are corrupt. The people he surrounds himself with are corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go by the script, and if you run into trouble, either keep repeating the words, beating them into submission, or FakeNews! They should take turns inviting famous people to give the briefings.

Larry Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 3 hours ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I get it, I don't like Trump either. But to see his opponents flail and scramble to throw **** at a wall in hopes that something sticks to him when he's increasingly shown that he's made out of teflon is getting silly. All because "He's not our guy and we don't like him." EVERY SINGLE THING that has been “thrown against the wall (Trump)” has “stuck”. The only thing I can think of that he’s been accused of, that hasn’t been publicly proven, is paying a hooker to pee on a bed. Even his supporters know hes guilty. They’ve simply made it clear that, when a Republican does it, they don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, what I heard was that Trump first went for the handshake and the general saluted. Trump then saluted as the general went for a handshake. That is, the picture might actually look worse than it really is, in that Trump was trying to politely match pleasantries. Nonetheless, this is precisely why you are supposed to do extensive planning before going somewhere. Get the protocol down so there are no bad pictures like this.

Which isn’t really surprising or a misjudgement on his part. This countries laws and legal has been designed to protect people like him. Exactly. He's never once had to be accountable for anything...bad behavior, bad business, criminal behavior. Bad behavior? Just pay the person off or bully them with a team of lawyers (or intimidate them in other ways) until they shut up. Bad business decisions? Just collect as much money as possible from the investors you bilked, stiff your contractors, and close down shop or declare bankruptcy. Criminal behavior? Just ignore it and put up roadblocks with lawyers or delay until you just have to pay some fines. And they never really bothered to hide it much because they didn't have to. He's assumed his whole life that he's been above the law, because he mostly HAS been. But now it's a different story and at least some of those chickens are coming home to roost.

For the most part, I think of pictures like this as nothing burgers. However, there is a petty part of me that looks at the YEARS of mileage Conservatives got out of Obama bowing in comparison to this. Obama's bow was a sign of respect world leader to world leader. Trump saluting a North Korean general is a sign of subservience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda a meh thing, not really worth getting overly worked up about though it undoubtedly would have never happened if proper preparations had been done. But yes, we would have literally never heard the end of it if Obama had done this. Like I shudder to think of the Hannity segments that would have run if this were Obama.

NoCalMike Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 As far as the Trump saluting the General thing. Put me in the same boat as "meh...whatever" however yes, if Obama had done it, it would basically be 24/7 coverage on Fox about him committing treason or some other sign of weakness blah blah blah. When it comes to the "separating children from their parents" immigration issue. Am I wrong in thinking that the President unilaterally has the power to tell the DOJ/ICE to stop enforcing that part of the law, sort of like Obama told the DOJ to stop raiding Wellness centers? It's real slimy the way Trump is trying to blame Democrats and even more slimy the way The Huckster tries to regurgitate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
