The Trump Presidency - Page 15 Empty The Trump Presidency

Post by navyblueshorts Fri 10 Feb - 13:03

First topic message reminder :

Well, since the last thread got terminated, I thought I'd open a new one as I think Trump's Presidency is potentially quite an important event (one way or the other), so we should talk about it.

Let's at least try to argue points raised rather than sling any personal insults (not that I mind).

To kick off, what on Earth is that Kellyanne Conway doing promoting Ivanka Trump's fashion line and does the Donald seriously think it's OK to weigh in as he's done??? With any luck, some legal eagles will tear Conway down somewhat and someone (anyone!) will convince Trump to stop tweeting. In fact, does anyone in the Administration know what they're doing? A less suitable press officer than Spicer is hard to imagine but to be fair to the guy, it must be difficult fielding media comments when he's having to make it up on the hoof.

90 percent of Trump's vote was from people that vote GOP every election...Probably be 80 percent Labour voters in Corbyn's case as he is around 29 percent in the polls.

With the Nixon stuff and now this titbit...You're becoming more informed kid. thumbsup

Good fun isn't it? Now there's a memo, apparently, from Comey essentially saying Trump asked him to lay off Flynn and let the investigation into his Russian links slide. Every day, it gets more comic....or it would do if wasn't potentially so serious.

Where's SecretFly to denounce all of this as 'fake news'??

Sounds like Bill Clinton getting on the same plane as the Attorney General when Hillary faced charges over her servers....

Remember that the Republicans own Congress..The Liberals own the media but it will be Congress that decides Trump's fate...

It isn't good fun.. It is hurting the image of the greatest Country in the World and we should be concentrating on getting the USA up and running again..Not dealing with this crap..

Not really, no. Was there ever any suggestion or memo that explicitly suggested Bill might have tried it on with the AG? Even if there was, was Bill a serving member of the Government at that point?

America has culture?

Sporting prowess, I'd actually overall the UK has the clear edge as far as sport goes and your military has numbers and ability to kill it's own but is operationally an embarrassment.

Not at all and no country with culture thinks it's the greatest, it's obnoxious and the exact reason why the rest of the world detests you so much. We conquered most of the planet and are not subject to as much hate as you lot which says it all really.

Your insults are better/OK because you deem them supported by facts? Give over. The fact is (do you want me to find and quote back the relevant posts?), you continually bang on about America being 'the greatest' and do so in a typically boorish, arrogant (stereotypical American?) fashion. I don't really need to post evidence myself do I? It's all over this section of the Forum, for everyone to see. Either you really believe that tripe, or it's a not particularly entertaining WUM. Either way, it's pretty dull.

I'll leave it there so we don't ruin the relevant Trump Presidency content any more, but you'll no doubt do your usual "I must have the last word" post. Chin up, nice fencing with you old bean OK.

Worth remembering that the constitution is a grey area when it comes to Impeachment......Presidents get impeached for "High crimes and misdemeanors"........Which is open to interpretation.....  

Remember also that you need to have 2/3 of the Senate voting to impeach to get rid.......No easy feat..

Republicans already own the Senate....

Andrew Johnson (Took over from Lincoln) survived by one vote............Both Republicans and Dems hated him though..

The dollar is falling at the moment because of this Russian crap.........My guess is Economic uncertainty will be the catalyst for any move unless there is a smoking gun.

Hope I cleared this up for you.... thumbsup

Culture - America has very little original culture. It destroyed its indigenous culture and almost everything else is imported European culture, jazz aside.
Sporting prowess - USA is superb at sports no one else participates in. NFL, NBA, MLB etc but crap at soccer, rugby, cricket etc.
Military operations- disturbing to see this even posited as a benchmark of greatness but since its economy needs a decent scrap every 10 years one can see why some fools think this is something to shout about. Lost in Vietnam but in both WW1 and WW2 turned up eventually to tip the balance and then claimed victory. Rolling Eyes The rest of the time it has vicarious wars with its chosen enemy of the week using small countries to have them where it gets itself into a mess and bails.

Actually for a Country where 'Soccer' is the forgotten little brother of sports, they don't do half bad at it. Good showings at the last few World Cups.

Plus their Collegiate systems ability to continuously churn out world class track and field athletes is very impressive.

Now off to get a shower, wash away the dirty feeling that comes with defending Murica...

Rick Mueller named special counsel to the Russia investigation.

That wouldn't be the same Rick Mueller that delivered a to order report to the NFL during Deflategate so they could punish Brady would it.

The dollar is falling at the moment because of this Russian crap.........My guess is Economic uncertainty will be the catalyst for any move unless there is a smoking gun.

Hope I cleared this up for you.... thumbsup
True re. Houses, but do you have any feel for what'll happen in the 2018 mid-terms? If the GOP lose one (Senate more likely?) or both, Trump'll be in big doo-doo. He's also dicing with trouble re. all the legislative stuff they were hoping to get done for the same reason I would think.

Don't be daft. You're ignoring the historical context.

Nope one example is enough for the UK...I'll save other things such as Culture..Sporting prowess and military operations for arguments with bigger fish like China.

Afternoon Pr4wn..

Culture - America has very little original culture. It destroyed its indigenous culture and almost everything else is imported European culture, jazz aside.
Sporting prowess - USA is superb at sports no one else participates in. NFL, NBA, MLB etc but crap at soccer, rugby, cricket etc.
Military operations- disturbing to see this even posited as a benchmark of greatness but since its economy needs a decent scrap every 10 years one can see why some fools think this is something to shout about. Lost in Vietnam but in both WW1 and WW2 turned up eventually to tip the balance and then claimed victory. Rolling Eyes The rest of the time it has vicarious wars with its chosen enemy of the week using small countries to have them where it gets itself into a mess and bails.

Actually for a Country where 'Soccer' is the forgotten little brother of sports, they don't do half bad at it. Good showings at the last few World Cups.

We managed to advance from the group stage and made it to the round of 16......If I remember rightly England were in our group.....

Which was a bit of luck...

Being better than England at football is like being better than France at war...

Don't be daft. You're ignoring the historical context.

The historical context being that there is no justification for nuclear attacks, I view Hiroshima and Nagasaki as acts of terrorism.

For a bit of balance the Dresden bombings was also terrorism.
