Dubey 1,035 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Either way, feels like a red herring. Sexual deviance isn't going to sway Trump supporters, or have any lasting impact. It's "grab her by the pussy" all over again. Like, are these allegations even remotely surprising to anyone? Link to post Share on other sites

It has nothing to do with supporters. Trump is all about being the alpha dog and it's possible that something like that could be held over his head from 5 years ago.

iBeaver 409 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I did read that stuff like this could keep him from doing really bad things. He gets so caught up in it that some have said that you game to put stuff like this out there, true or not, weekly to keep him preoccupied because he simply can't ignore it and will let it devour him for days and days.

gruven 530 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Politics and partisanship aside, without considering legacy, one thing about Obama is undeniable: Obama is an exceptional and riveting orator. I cannot remember ANY politician with his gift for speech. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 and some left wing deplorables Heh, even this has since come out to have been alt-right/neo-nazi group trying to make left-wingers look bad. Which is kind of an ongoing pattern...the worst things the left is accused is often just things people on the right do and assume that lefties are as evil as them so must be doing it too, rarely with actual evidence.

pezeveng 207 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 TORONTO — The Canadian dollar climbed Tuesday against higher oil prices and a softening greenback following comments from president-elect Donald Trump that seem to suggest he favours a weaker U.S. dollar. The loonie gained 0.61 of a U.S. cent to 76.58 cents US, a day before a scheduled interest rate announcement by the Bank of Canada. It's highly anticipated that bank governor Stephen Poloz will hold its benchmark rate steady at 0.5 per cent. Stephen Carlin, head of equities and managing director at CIBC Asset Management, says the rise in the Canadian dollar can be pegged to the weakening of the greenback, that started to fall after Trump told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday that the dollar was "too strong." "Our companies can't compete with them (China) now because our currency is too strong. And it’s killing us," Trump, who will be inaugurated into the White House on Friday, told the newspaper. Carlin said the comments made investors nervous about the incoming president's policies. "It's not typical of a president-elect or a president to make a comment specific around this topic. This is a new regime. This is a new party in power so the markets are really trying to gauge what these comments mean," he said. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm almost more dumbstruck by the cabinet. I watched the Devos confirmation, she's just an idiot. Then the Mnuchin debacle. He's already talking about repealing the measures that were put into place to protect people from.... HIM. wow Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 60 days? Because then he will impeached. I think the prop bet line is currently at 1/3rd chance he doesn't finish his term (impeached or quits) Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Current weather forecast is 60% chance of fire and brimstone. Trump might have to call up his friend Chris Christie to hold an umbrella during the ceremony. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think the prop bet line is currently at 1/3rd chance he doesn't finish his term (impeached or quits) Well I might have proof where I posted right after Pence was picked that the plan was to let him do his thing then when in office he gets impeached and Pence is the Prez. He didn't want Pence and Ryan and others forced Pence on him and that was made pretty clear. Ryan clearly hates Trump. I hate Ryan but we agree on Trump. There is definitely enough there to impeach so it would be no surprise if that is the play. He;s in congress talking about changes and ignoring the plans that Trump is talking about. Trumps days will be numbered is my guess. It would not be surprising if Trump got played by Putin and by his "party". Pretty sure he is an easy man to manipulate. I could be wrong, that's fine. It's a lot more plausible then the" Obama is going to take our guns and put white people in concentration camp" theories that were talked about 8 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
