“20 years ago he would have been fetching us coffee...”
Bill Clinton to the Chappaquiddick Kid on Barack Obama.

“20 years ago he would have been fetching us coffee...” Bill Clinton to the Chappaquiddick Kid on Barack Obama. "Everybody's too PC", amirite? About your quote. After Clinton finished saying that to Ted Kennedy, Ted decided he would endorse Obama over Clinton. He lost support as a result. In this moment you used it in support of Trump and as a defense of his bigotry...

No. Not a defense of Trump’s stupidity, just a reminder that the party of the KKK and Robert Byrd has its own bigoted skeletons...

No. Not a defense of Trump’s stupidity,, just a reminder that the party of the KKK and Robert Byrd has its own bigoted skeletons... Trump's bigotry, and yes it was.... I would say Bill's comment is similar to this one. hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/180671/threadIn both cases the author might not have understood how insensitive it was, but we'll give both the benefit of the doubt and assume those comments are not necessarily born out of bigotry. Trump on the other hand has a history of bigoted comments and actions that don't allow for someone to give him the benefit of the doubt. The Dems that started the KKK would be Republicans now like David Duke is. That's why Trump can say things like this and lose 0 support as you just demonstrated. That's why Charlie Kirk's National Director at the Trump aligned Turning Point USA can say this and it barely registers. Stop being deliberately obtuse...

Least shocking leaked email ever... You can pay your bribes directly to the President at any one of his properties. For 200,000 a year you can have access and personally lobby the President at his private golf course in Florida. If you don't like Miami you can pay lesser fees at his VA or New Jersey properties he also visits often.......

For those of you with retirement or other investments including stocks, thank Trump for his part in a very good year. Of course it is not all due to Trump but his easing of onerous regulations and the talk of tax cuts for corporations had a lot to do with it. Or maybe you'd like to give it back because you are worried about the debt.

I recall Republicans thanking Obama for the same thing, and the ones who didn't, offered to give back their earnings in exchange for not offerring praise...
Confused as to why "everyone who is angling for something knows to be there"....

Or maybe you'd like to give it back because you are worried about the debt. We'll be giving it back in the next crash which is pretty much baked in to his "easing of onerous regulations". But I love that you're not worried about the debt anymore, seemed like you were really worried about that for the past decade.

Hopefully this is the year we finally put to rest the myth Republicans care about the debt or deficits.. It's just a long con, a means to an end for them... And they are patting themselves on the back for doing it...

Anger grows and hope fades as Puerto Rico’s ground zero remains without power www.nbcnews.com/storyline/puerto-rico-crisis/anger-grows-hope-fades-puerto-rico-s-ground-zero-remains-n833421‘People have died because we didn’t have power’ The lack of power, especially at the hospital, “es lo que me quita el sueño” – it’s what keeps me up at night, said Dalmau, before ticking off the deaths he attributes to hospitals being off the grid. A woman in Caguas in frail health had a routine knee operation as Hurricane Maria was closing in, but died in recovery when the generators failed, he said. The oxygen machine of the mother of a friend of Dalmau’s failed when the electricity went out at the nursing home where she was staying and she died. A 70-year-old friend of his father, who had emphysema, decided not to go to the hospital when he had breathing problems because the hospital lacked power. That decision proved fatal, Dalmau said. The official death toll from Hurricane Maria is 64, far more than the 16 cited by President Donald Trump, who said Puerto Rico should be proud the number was so low. But the toll of 64 deaths is itself believed to be far too low. A recent estimate by The New York Times suggested the real number may be more than 1,000.On Dec. 18, Rosselló acknowledged for the first time that hurricane deaths may be higher than the official toll. He has ordered a review of all deaths since Maria. As long as there is no power, the Puerto Rican death toll could continue to rise.

I would have supported it only if it were accompanied by large cuts in spending such that the cuts were greater than the tax cuts. And the spending cuts must include Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Or is the phrase "provide for the common defense" just more important because it happens to come in front of "promote the General Welfare"?

Governments have donated public land, approved permits and eased environmental regulations for Trump-branded developments, creating potential conflicts.
The Presidency is open for business...

There are consequences. That's the enduring takeaway from a stunning report in Politico magazine on President Trump's foreign policy through his first year in office. The story, the result of chief international affairs columnist Susan Glasser's conversations with diplomats and foreign policy experts from the United States and throughout the world, paints a daunting picture of how America's place in the international order has shifted in the Age of Trump. In a nutshell, allies can no longer be certain of what the policy or position of the United States is on virtually any issue, and the governing feature of the U.S. foreign policy setup is chaos. Meanwhile, America's greatest geopolitical adversaries are emboldened. Here are some of the worst revelations. www.esquire.com/news-politics/a14531014/trump-foreign-policy-politico/
