Senate The US Politics discussion

Yeah, as gloriously stupid as the whole bet is, it is irritating that the focus isn't on the unfolding Saudi crisis.
Much like with Russia, Saudi Arabia appears to be a rare case where Trump is isolated by bipartisan opposition on an issue. Turkey's actions appear to be a power play in the murky Middle East politics.
And let's not forget, again, that the US doesn't have an official ambassador to Turkey or Saudi Arabia. (Kushner, obviously, is the de facto ambassador to the latter).

 

Exactly. He's adept at causing endless stress and controversy for everyone around him.

 

This is why I say no woman will ever win the Presidency unless it's Nikki Haley. Warren cannot win it, nor can Harris. Or Klobuchar, although I think she might have the best shot of the Democrats. I kinda think Tammy Duckworth might have a shot one day. I know she scares the crap out of Trump.

 

Sign me up for president Duckworth please.

 

Inherent in the pro-life position is a sense of entitlement to impose one’s private beliefs into the personal lives of total strangers and their families and doctors. So I definitely feel like if a pro-life person isn’t humble about the values they are demanding everyone adhere to by putting their money where their mouth is with respect to kids left behind, there is hypocrisy there.

But at the end of the day, it is the total arrogance of the pro-life position that disgusts me. The way that movement casts late-term abortion as happening because flighty women just decide they don’t want their babies after all is all I need to see to know that movement is inherently, at its very core, built on misogyny. Just talk to a single woman that got a late term abortion and one couldn’t possibly have that view. They clearly don’t seek out those stories because they don’t care about the reality. It’s just about proselytizing.

 

Totally an accident guys!

 

Sure, you can go the artsy-fartsy Putin route with the polonium-210 or the toxic nerve agent. Or you can send a hit team of 15 armed with a bone saw. Either way, Trump is enraptured. This is how real men deal with their enemies.

 

... Trump is comparing the Saudi ruler to Brett Kavanaugh.

He also clarified that his "rogue killers" comment came from a "feeling" he got from his conversation King Salman.

 

It's a scary and difficult time for men with unlimited power.

 

Well, both MBS and Kavanaugh claim to be pious and hate women. They'd be best buds.

 

Probably, but he’ll never admit it. He’ll just execute others for drinking it while he downs a cold one in private.

 

The king is a figurehead, so of course Trump is going to be reassured by a man in his 80s who probably doesn't know ****. The crown prince, Muhammad bin Salman, is the de facto leader of the country and is behind the recent arrests, executions, and apparent assassination.

 

How long until he says the rogue killers are Democrats?

 

And how long after that until he claims that Obama put out a contract?

 

Don't forget that he'll blame it on Hillary and China too.

 

Something something functional human being something something sane administration....

 

Obama could so troll Trump with this. Imagine the tweets...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing the prospect of bruising electoral defeat in congressional elections, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he won't accept the blame if his party loses control of the House in November, arguing his campaigning and endorsements have helped Republican candidates.
