Now you're really clutching at straws. What's "Washington establishment" about Doug Jones, a highly qualified and respected lawyer who has never held elected office until now? Gee, he sounds just like your President (well, except for the highly qualified and respected bits).

I feel for you, mate.

Ooooh, I almost forgot to respond to this gem. So you'd like to see real everyday Americans like billionaire self-confessed sexually-abusing misogynist racist intellectually below-average property developers heading your democracy. And here we go again:

Gets worse!

As I mentioned earlier, Kushner's peace project is down the toilet

Just another example of how absof**kinglutely mad some GOP politicians are.

You realise Doug Jones won by 3,020,000 more votes than Trump?

Eh???

Results still unofficial, but... Jones only had 671,151 in total (out of a total possible 3,326,812 votes).

I wonder, did Kushner swear on the Bible ?

I assume he is linking to Trump's loss in the popular vote which when netted with Jones popular vote win gives something like this number?

Judge Moore’s choice of campaign vehicle didn’t help

Yep, Trump won the popular vote by a landslide margin of -3,000,000, and Jones won his race by 20,000 (both numbers rounded, of course).

Come on, Jag! Are you a little woozy from excessive spamicide?

It is delicious!

More troubling evidence of election meddling at the FBI

Oh come on, WSJ owned by Trumps friend Murdoch have been saying anything to try and discredit the investigation. Get some independent sources ffs. You may as well be quoting the news of the world

Indeed.
The voters are split roughly fifty/fifty between Dems and GOP supporters so it is highly likely that Mueller's team will show the same demographics unless Mueller were to recruit his team from Mars.

So far nobody has even one shred of evidence that the FBI agents involved allowed their personal opinions to leak over into their professional work; incidentally the newspaper reports of their emails claim they were equally critical of Hillary!

Gotta catch up on this thread, but wanted to address this. Briefly, no Kushner did not swear on the Bible. Not because he objected, but because he's only a staffer and not an elected official. All the WH staff stood in a group, raised the right hand, and repeated the oath.

Most elected officials swear on the Bible when they take the oath of office, but the Bible part is not legally required.

Not directly Trump related but in the current #metoo storm...

He seems to have been an unpleasant character but did not deserve to die
The sexual assault accusations against Johnson were revealed as a sexual harassment scandal involving four other Republican lawmakers was unfolding at the state capitol.
The former Republican house speaker Jeff Hoover resigned his leadership position after acknowledging he secretly settled a sexual harassment claim with a member of his staff. Three other lawmakers were involved in the settlement, and all lost their committee chairmanships.

The White House said Wednesday that Manigault Newman had tendered her resignation as the director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison and that her last day in the administration would be next month.

A number of newspapers claimed she was fired.
The Secret Service said"Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex." which seems to support the "fired" theory as she will be unable to enter the complex and work out her notice period.

Another episode in the Trump soap opera!

Believe me!

What the actual f...???

I don't think Trump chose Pence himself. The Rs realized they were stuck with Trump and needed someone establishment to still be on the inside. Pence was a good choice given his background in the House and as a governor of a Rust Belt state. Trump saw the logic in the choice, like Pence's head-nodding at all the right spots of his speeches, and figured it would give him better odds with swing voters.

Yes, it seems Israel's two-state solution is it gets all of Jerusalem and whatever the Palestinians want is irrelevant. If we take your argument and flip it, why not have the Israeli leadership say they're willing to let Jerusalem's borders and recognition go for now. Why does it have to be the Palestinians that give in?

Not saying I agree with either side, just offering more options.

At the end of the day, why not?

Make Jerusalem into some sort of international autonomous self-governing city state that provides equal rights and equal access to all three religions. And if both Palestians and Israelis want to make their capital there and have their ministries and government there, why not? In terms of embassies, it would save a lot of money if a single embassy could handle the diplomatic contacts to both sides simulataneously.

So maybe Trump was just a bit too far ahead?

Acheieving such a solution would require both sides to relinquish their claim.

Completely agree with this.

Sounds like common sense to me. It'll never happen though.
