One other detail I forgot about but read recently - Obama also tried to expand DACA to cover Dreamer parents, but that was struck down by the courts.GreenGoo wrote: Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:59 pm El Guapo, thanks for explaining Obama's DACA 'non-solution".
Fitzy, I didn't mean to drag you back in. I'm not sure I knew you were out when I wrote mine.
Also interesting is how Trump's pattern of conduct in these affairs is consistent with the possibility that he could be being blackmailed.Holman wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:11 am https://twitter.com/ronanfarrow/status/ ... 4326448128
New reporting of yet another extramarital affair would have dominated headlines for weeks under any other president. Under Trump, we Barely have time to register it before another scandal comes along.
This one is interesting for the background on how the National Enquirer bought and killed the story. It also has more Shark Week.
And half a dozen other pretty personal details, like Trump showing off Melania's personal bedroom, saying she liked to have her own space. One wonders if Melania ever catches these stories and sees truth in them.Holman wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:11 amNew reporting of yet another extramarital affair would have dominated headlines for weeks under any other president.

She dutifully played the role of wife. Unless she's being held against her will or is in an abusive relationship (neither of which I would completely rule out), she's as complicit as the rest of them.Paingod wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2018 12:29 pm I am having a hard-as-hell time attaching relate-able human motivations to anyone in Trumps' inner circle. It just slides off like an ass on a leather sofa. I think I may have gone too far down the rabbit hole in demonizing everyone and everything Trump.
I did. I'm at a loss why a fully democratic system is less democratic if people under no duress choose not to participate, but whatever.

Did he try to shag a wife? He's on record as trying to do that with "friends" and associates.Skinypupy wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:07 pm

Time flies.One year ago today, President Trump held an off-the-rails press conference that included attacks on the press, asinine claims — “lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things” — and the suggestion that April Ryan, a black reporter, set up a meeting for him with the Congressional Black Caucus because they must be her “friends.”

Overseen on the interwebs: "I have to admit, I needed a refresher course on what happened. Asking me to remember something Trump did that was unbelievably stupid and unpresidential a full year ago is like asking how many bowel movements I had that day. How am I supposed to remember a daily occurrence that involves that much shit?"Smoove_B wrote: Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:42 pm How did we miss the one year anniversary of President Trump's first and only press conference?

The meaningful part is that he called HRC unfit for the presidency when she went a few months without a formal press conference as a candidate.Skinypupy wrote: Sat Feb 17, 2018 4:01 pmOverseen on the interwebs: "I have to admit, I needed a refresher course on what happened.

I understand the belief that he makes these connections but IMO I don't think he knows shit. He just lashes out at what is in front of him.Roman wrote: Sun Feb 18, 2018 10:58 am Something tells me that something big may drop in the next week or so based on all the lashing out this morning.

They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!
Someone had to sit him down yesterday and explain that, regardless of what Fox News was telling him, these indictments were not the end of the investigation and that collusion and obstruction were still to come.malchior wrote: Sun Feb 18, 2018 11:33 amI understand the belief that he makes these connections but IMO I don't think he knows shit.

And yet his popularity is rising (90% among R's, 44% overall) and Republicans are rejoicing. It really is the economy, stupid.Chaz wrote: Sun Feb 18, 2018 10:38 am He's had a very bad week, and is an angry little boy. This week he had to deal with:
- Mueller indictments
- A school shooting
- McMaster confirming that Russia was interfering
- Another story about an affair and hush money
- Having to stop on the way to a long weekend at the golf club to see bummer people in the hospital
- Not getting to go golfing on Saturday because it would look bad
- Only getting to make a quick stop at his Studio 54-themed party at the club because partying just after a shooting would look bad
- Turns out the FBI he loves so much knew about the shooter and did an oopsie
So basically, it's been the worst Infrastructure Week yet, he can't golf, can't party, his wife probably won't speak to him, so he's just sitting around the club watching Fox, reading Twitter, and being very mad.
Indictments would be even better.malchior wrote: Sun Feb 18, 2018 11:52 am I hate to hope for a recession but it is better than autocracy.
I'm not sure they'll matter - the Nat. Sec. Advisor plead guilty. Multiple people in his campaign indicted. And his popularity is rising. We are almost begging for an autocrat...as long as we have a good economy.
Russia, Hillary, DNC, democrats, Steele dossier, Uranium, speeches, e-mails, Podesta, I locked my keys in the car, an old friend came in from out of town, someone stole my car, there was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts...IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems. Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!

It's the ravings of a lunatic.
Now I'm confused.
To the best of my knowledge (as much as anyone can know how he feels at any given moment) this is Rip's stance on Drumpf.
