President Trump

[Donhollio]

Let me make sure I've got Ms Fords story straight.

She has a fuzzy memory of attending a drunken party of hormone raging
teenagers that had zero adult supervision while wearing a bikini after dark
and she got felt up a bit. When she refused to let them go further they left.
She sustained no physical injuries and never told anybody about it.

Now 35 years later having become a liberal wacko nut job she get's to use
that fuzzy recollection to wreck somebody's life. I think not.

[Edit to add]
Oh, and she gets to hold up the Senate and the Supreme court because she
didn't feel like testifying when or the way they wanted.

 I think you're trying to water this down based on you political bias. What she has stated consistantly is this.
 "Blasey has said that Kavanaugh shoved her into a bedroom at a house party when they were both in high school, locked the door, pinned her to the bed, groped her, pulled at her clothing and put his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream. She said she managed to escape when a second teen in the room jumped on top of them."

 Bill that's not normal teenage sexual behaviour, its aggression towards females. Read up on sexual assault,  and what its really all about. Rape is not about hormones and tossing your rocks off, it's about control, aggression and misogyny.
 Now a second female has come forward saying he hung his cock in her face. You want to pass it off as normal behaviour, or attack them like the White House is doing?  Most sexual assaults go unreported, victims for various reasons stay silent. Blaming all this on a Democrats agenda is akin to sticking your head in the sand.

Baseless fraudulent allegations of mentally deranged sore losers.

Ford cannot remember the address or the date of the party; she made no mention of the alleged incident to her parents or to the authorities.

As Andrew wrote above it’s what is known as a manufactured memory. Diane Feinstein knew of the allegation back in July but sat on it until the very end, how convenient.

Nothing less than an attempt to subvert the rule of law and a coup d’etat against common sense, dignity and the Constitution of the USA itself.

The lawyer for Professor Ford showed ZERO interest in listening to Juanita Broderick when she came forward with rape allegations against Bill Clinton.

These women are just pawns on the chessboard and the DNC has no real interest in protecting women; they will be discarded.

Kavanaugh will be sworn in on October 1st as one of the most qualified Judges in the history of the Supreme Court.

[shakespear]

Here's what's going to happen: Kavanaugh will not rise to the Supeme Court. From now on, all potential appointees, to this and other positions, will suffer the same kind of attacks and it will become much, much harder to find good quality candidates.  The rule of law is being dismantled in the United States.

Kavanaugh will be sworn in on October 1st as one of the most qualified Judges in the history of the Supreme Court.

I think both of you are wrong.

The "Deborah Ramirez" incident will be dealt with in less than an hour. 

I believe Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the Senate with the Vice President Casting the deciding vote. 

But it's not going to happen until the middle of October.

They're understandably pissed off about Garland. 

They were hoping they'd have a 5-4 court in their favor.  Now faced with
the near certainty that there will be a 5-4 court AGAINST them they're in
full panic mode and feel any action no matter how despicable is justified
to accomplish the goal of keeping him OFF the Supreme Court.

There will be no Democrats support this nominee.  Losing the seats in the
Senate in 2018 is NOTHING compared to losing control of the Supreme Court
for the next 25-30 years.

McConnell needs to be sure he's got at least 2 of the 3 possible dissenters
whipped into line.             

[dcguyusa]

he’s representing a third woman who has accused Kavanaugh, 53, of sexual assault.

Warning: My client re Kavanaugh has previously done work within the State Dept, U.S. Mint, & DOJ. She has been granted multiple security clearances in the past including Public Trust & Secret. The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible

I think a lot of this originates from the pre-teen years right at the onset of puberty.  Who's  idea was it to allow pre-pubescent children to strip naked and take showers with each other?  They force you to participate in Physical Education classes that creates a large amount of perspiration and then don't want you to smell up the joint .

As was to be expected, another worm crawls out of the woodwork. Another case where the victim was unable to remember the event, this time admitting that she was pissed as a fart at the time. Again, others supposed to have witnessed the event have no recollection.

Anti Trump NY Times won't touch the story of the 2nd accuser after interviewing potential witnesses.

The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.

I just read of a third potential 'event'.

Stormy Daniels lawyer claims to have some info. He's also testing the waters to be the next POTUS. If he can derail Kavanaugh, the Democrats will hail him as a hero.

If things actually happened that way then it was assault. However, she also remembered
other people being there and they deny it. She named names and those named denied it.

And if her allegation was true and not political why did she reveal the allegation to a highly partisan politician and not to law enforcement, say like 36 years ago when the incident allegedly happened?

President Donald Trump received laughs before the United Nations General Assembly in New York City Tuesday after he claimed his administration had been more successful than any other in the country’s history

Rather than applaud or indicate they were impressed, the audience began to chuckle and some broke into outright laughter. Mr Trump appeared briefly flustered before joking that it was not the reaction he expected but “that's all right.”

The White House • September 25, 2018
President Trump returns to the United Nations

“Each of us here today is the emissary of a distinct culture, a rich history, and a people bound together by ties of memory, tradition, and the values that make our homelands like nowhere else on Earth,” President Donald J. Trump said in a major speech at the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) today.

“That is why America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control, and domination.”

Last year in New York, President Trump outlined a vision at the U.N. of strong, sovereign nations working together to confront the biggest scourges facing Western civilization in the 21st century. He cited three threats in particular—North Korea, Iran, and ISIS—that required decisive action in the months ahead.

One year later, bold American diplomacy has diminished each of these threats:

The historic Singapore Summit with North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-Un marked the first-ever face-to-face meeting between a U.S. President and a North Korean head of state. At the summit, the two leaders committed to the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. Just last week, leaders from North and South Korea and began drafting a plan to achieve that vision.
When President Trump took office, ISIS represented one of the biggest threats to the world. By changing the rules of engagement on the ground, President Trump empowered U.S. commanders with broader authority to eradicate the terrorist network. That strategy paid dividends: With the help of our allies, all Iraqi territory has been liberated from ISIS control.
On Iran, President Trump used last year’s UNGA speech to reiterate his profound objections to a nuclear deal that put the interests of diplomats ahead of the Iranian people—and, indeed, peaceful people the world over. In May, the President made good on his promise to withdraw America from that deal, reimposing sanctions to deter Tehran’s malign activities.
Embracing “peace through strength,” President Trump has presided over a remarkable year in American foreign policy. Today in New York, he built on last year’s message to world leaders, making it clear that the work is only just beginning.

“Sovereign and independent nations are the only vehicle where freedom has ever survived, democracy has ever endured, or peace has ever prospered,” President Trump said. “So together, let us choose a future of patriotism, prosperity, and pride. Let us choose peace and freedom over domination and defeat. And let us come here to this place to stand for our people and their nations.”

President Trump returns to the U.N.—with new evidence for ‘peace through strength’

  mockingly laughed at him, then he went on to praise Kim Jun of North Korea fame.

 Yeah, ripping good speech for the 'leader' of the free world. Trump's a fuking joke.

[Wiz]

From the Mafia's Don, speech in the UN who run's USA and forgets HIS earlier statements: AMERICA FIRST...

"In one of the more remarkable moments in the history of the annual UN summit, the chamber broke out in spontaneous laughter at Trump’s claim that “in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country”.

Clearly taken aback, Trump said: “I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”

He is not only a FCUK joke but also a very dangerous Criminal who, together with his mentor, NetaYahoo,  can destroy the world!

 

[andrewfi]

Is Trump, with his talking about sovereignty and independence talking about the same things as Putin and Xi? Is he setting aside the horrors of exceptionalism?

I hope that he meant what he said but it is hard to see that he did; after all, the use of weaponized sanctions and tariffs on independent and sovereign states, because they act in an independent and sovereign manner, tend to suggest that exceptionalism, in practice, is alive and thriving.

[Texan77]

Most countries in this world have tariffs. It is our border we can do anything we want with it.

Placing tariff and sanctions on those countries that mean to do us harm would seem pretty normal.  Andrew you need to remember about a lot of the things you wrote how Russia and China was going to ruin the US currency and drastic reduce the standard of living in the USA. They were going to displace us around the world and the US would a third world country. We are likely in the early stages of a cold war that will likely last a long time. Sanctions and trade restrictions is all part of it. They are likely to get a lot worse before it is over.

I see nothing whatsoever wrong with using economic sanctions as an instrument
of national policy.  It is merely a 21st century version of Theodore Roosevelt's "Big
Stick" policy and Reagan's "spend 'em into bankruptcy" that was successfully used
to break the back of the Soviet Union and WIN the "cold war.       

[andrewfi]

I'd be surprised if you thought otherwise given your exceptionalist leanings.

Of course, if one is not one of the exceptional people then one might have a different point of view and, quite rationally, see that what the government is is up to is not in the slightest but congruent with Trump's words at the UN.

In addition, the actions of the Trump government are largely illegal under agreements made under the WTO. But, hey, that's OK if you're exceptional.

[2tallbill]

 Yeah, ripping good speech for the 'leader' of the free world. Trump's a fuking joke.

He butters up people that are tending to do the right thing. Last year he was
calling the little dictator Rocket man. What he didn't do, what the liberals
always did was to give him a boatload of money before he did something
right.

His tactics are different therefore he's a fooking joke. He made a better trade
deal with Mexico using tactics that liberals have never tried, while liberals use
tactics that never work.

John Kerry/Hillary Clinton/Jimmy Carter/Bush I & II negotiating tactic is to give
the other side EVERYTHING they wanted while not getting anything concrete in
return and then considered themselves as skilled negotiators.

Now that the USA isn't giving people everything they want, they cry and pout
like 14 year old girls with punch spilled on their new dress. In the end they
make a deal because the alternative is too scary to fathom.

Does anyone think Merkel could stay in office while getting shut out of the US
market?

I 2nd Rosco’s sentiment. Awesome post Bill! 

[shakespear]

I'd be surprised if you thought otherwise given your exceptionalist leanings.

The United States is the most exceptional concept of a country ever conceived.
That fact is beyond debate.

As BOTH the most powerful military in the world as well as the largest economy
in the world we have many "clubs in the bag" to use in enacting our foreign policy.
As we have no desire to expand our borders (unlike most of the great powers of
the past) we use that power to oppose despots, terrorists and dictators.  In most
cases the "first club out of the bag" is not exerting military power.  We
generally prefer to use "economic persuasion" to achieve our national aims.

The European and Asian manufacturing companies are going to have to make
a choice come November 6th.  They can follow the instructions of their socialist
and globalist governments and continue to trade with the corrupt and terror-sponsoring
Iranian government, which means the US will impose trade sanctions on them, or
they can take the responsible course of responsible and peace loving nations and
impose sanctions on Iran. 

I wonder what they'll do?  Money doesn't talk - it SCREAMS.

When you say “sanctions” I’m only going to focus (at least right now, in this post) on Venezuela. You can be sure the communist elites connected to Maduro like his wife and his daughter have been looting the country and sending millions of dollars to private banks in Switzerland and elsewhere, they always do. Meanwhile the average citizens are going very hungry or eating rats.

The Investor’s Business Daily editorial board points out that the U.S. economy is booming and pulling ahead from the rest of the world, according to CNBC’s Global CFO Council survey. “Remember when everybody said that the ‘unexpectedly’ strong economy under President Trump had nothing to do with his policies? He was just lucky because the global economy was booming, they said. Well, that attempt to dismiss the Trump boom just fell by the wayside.”

The United States imposed new sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s wife and several of his top allies on Tuesday as U.S. President Donald Trump urged members of the United Nations to support a ‘restoration of democracy’ in the once-booming OPEC nation,” Lesley Wroughton and Brian Ellsworth report for Reuters. “The move adds pressure to a government already widely criticized for economic collapse and undermining democracy.”
