That would be all my Christmases at once. Can you imagine the rage?

If it continue this way we may get to this point before the election.

It would be better if Hilary comes out tomorrow and says that Trump was Dem plant all along.

Honestly, I'm not seeing why I should believe these women like the one on the plane. How do you prove something like that? How am I supposed to believe something that can't be proven? Jes got a history, but I can't pretend it doesn't make sense for people to make this up. Wouldn't be the first time political sex lies have come up.

It's not about proving whether it actually happened or not for either of them. It's just politics.
Most people have made up their mind on whether or not they believe the accusers or not based purely on who they support in the election. It has nothing to do with the truth.
Bill and Trump are both guilty until proven innocent in the minds of millions of Trump and Clinton supporters right now.
This election is a mummer's farce of democracy among other things.

Well its either that or risk this utter humiliation again and i'm not sure they could cope with two in a row.

BTW can anyone else see the irony with liberals saying they are worried about a major war with Trump in charge when Clinton is running around blaming everything on Russia and Putin? Laughable if it wasn't such a dangerous situation.
|
No irony, just a misunderstanding on your part. Clinton is an experienced politician, she know exactly how far she can push Russia. Trump doesn't have the faintest idea about foreign policy and doesn't really care.
|
It's both a dream and a nightmare imagining how the Republican coalition will realign in 2020. Your electorate is so fucked up though that identity coalitions are more important than idea based parties. Then you get awful ideas and platforms that are ideologically inconsistent because your political coalition is made up of identity based strange bedfellows.

As true today as it was a millennia and a half ago. All the more reason for proper court procedures with a defense lawyer, advocating for even the most despicable.

The allegations wouldn't carry as much weight if there were not audio recordings of Donald Trump bragging about such behavior. And his denials would be more believable if he didn't lie so frequently with such aplomb. At this point what reason do I have to not take their accusations seriously?

Beeing laxist with personal security and knowing about foreign policy is two different things. I am not a fan of her approche, staging assassination on high profile target like the chief of ISIS can't do much good by itself in my oppinion, Israel past 20-30 year killing Palestinians leaders in a hope that cutting the head would change something and it didin't do much good.
But outside of that Clinton is an expert on foreing policy, she would probably be the president with the most experience and knowledge in that regard. Dosen't mean she would do good, but if it is between Trump and Clinton I will go with the one that is probably able to name 90% of the world leader.

Laughable if it wasn't such a dangerous situation. Russia doesn't engage in brinkmanship when there are clear boundaries. It's shit like "maybe we'll defend our allies, maybe we won't, you'll have to try to see if that border violation is actually the start of WW3 or just another day to find out" that fucks us up.

So Georgia is the last "swing" state that trump still leads in. I dont think supers are all that bad so you avoid a train wreak like trump. I think dems have to many, i would like that number maybe cut in half but they serve there place. The republicans have fallen back on such an deranged group of people though to prop up there party and keep them in power it was bound to happen sometimes
