Yep.  Better to let Trump look the fool/bully and sit down.

[Belsnickel]

He just blamed the annexation of Crimea on Obama and doubled down when it was pointed out that Putin did the annexing...

I've got to be honest, I never really sat down and watched a presser with him before, or any interview. I just got highlights and stuff. I had to stop watching it. It was worse than I was expecting.

Well he thinks he's in a boardroom where everyone must do as he says. And he can't think on his feet OR draw from knowledge he has gained so he repeats himself over and over.

All the news agencies need to agree on a 30 second delay on his speeches for fact checking. Then, make it like Pop Up Video so that when he says an outright like, it puts up the correct information.

I googled him and found out he's quite the potty mouth.


TBH, I was intrigued by the guy and researched him wanting to find a couple things about him I could get behind in case dude makes a run in 2020. I'll be looking for another Liberal to hope for. Perhaps this Seth Moulton guy.

they should spend as much time they are investigating trump to investigate all senate and house members as well....

I have not heard anything about this yet......but did any other states pass the ok for recreational marijuana use in these mid-terms?

what did the leader of the free world do to stop it?

Has he commented on the annexation of Puerto Rico?

I've never met people so offended by "dirty words" as some of the folks on this board. Hard to believe people with the life experiences they had get their undies in a knot over an f-bomb.

Should have stopped after TBH...because I doubt you were.

Michigan was the only recreational I think.

Missouri and Utah approved medicinal.

But most of his supporters wouldn't believe the correction.  "Fake news" and all that....

Contrary to popular belief, it is not the role of the United States to interfere in every situation like that. Sanctions were imposed and the US joined in international efforts, but that was about all that could be done.

I'm not offended; nor have I saw anyone else here offended by an adult cursing. It is why I started my next point with TBH (despite your calling me a liar).

As to the part I lied about I always find a DEM to get behind, last cycle it was Kemp until he washed out, then it was Hills. Not that I'd vote that way, but it is best to have option B be the best you could hope for in case your team comes up short.

Who knows, I might even be a registered DEM, just so I can vote in the DEM primaries here in KY.

We passed (last I heard, hadn't checked the final numbers) marsys law, a not so great ballot measure that's going to choke our courts. And (at least in Western Kentucky) we kept state Rep s red, which was very surprising given the local fallout over their tax hikes and attempts to cut teacher pensions.

I really thought people would come to their senses and vote no on Marsy's Law.  Just terrible legislation.  It was pretty late in the game when I started noticing people talking about it being a bad deal.  I think it was packaged very well on ads and did a good job of getting ill-informed voters to vote on emotion rather than researching the issue.

Offended, bothered, whatever it was enough for you to mention first.

You like to find a democrat you will not vote for.  TBH that might really be honest.

[GMDino]

I'd have to research this more than I really want to....



And to be fair to Trump he probably just tweeted every name he could think of.

Some could have been Democrats.  McCaskill?  Yeah I remember that name.  Good man.

1. Our maybe, just maybe it was the first news story that popped up when I goggled him. Do you always look for a fight that is not there?

2. Of course I have a preference on the other side; you do not? Refrain the question posed at the end of #1
