| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Well Hollywood is dead-so the whole thing in the politics and Trump becomes the " live entertainment of the USA.". God bless Amerika! | | | | | Well, at least there's some transparency in regards with internal and external affairs of the USA we can all comment on from the comfort of our armchairs...
Not the same things could be said about Russia and another countries that get away with much worse violations of justice and human rights. I don't think you can have a realistic picture of what's going on in places where you can either be assassinated or imprisoned for life for only contradicting the official ideologies or the Czar, the supreme leaders and so on.
So yeah, I get where terrifisch is coming from. We're all too eager to point a finger at the USA because it's so easy. And we can safely get away with pretty much any assumption or affirmation we see fit to release out there in the virtual fora, no matter how little informed or accurate they can be. And she's right when she says all you need now is rumours and suppositions. But, but, of course everyone can be blinded and immune to facts because of their own biases. In this case though, the big question mark and the most credible accusation comes from the first woman who appears to have a case against Kavanaugh. I'm a bit reluctant to consider the rest of the allegations... people seem to underestimate the public hysteria. But that case enough would be sufficient to rule out such a candidate for that kind of public function. Let's hope proper investigations will take place and nobody will sweep under the carpet things that make that man so incompatible with the role he's proposed for.
.....and, for my friends and relatives who have a good life there because they never soaked into the victimhood culture that is so prevalent these days, yes, it's "God bless AmeriCa". Please try to limit the amount of unnecessary contempt and you'll get more credibility or at least understanding. Just a humble piece of advice.

Law of unintended consequences strikes again! | Quote: |  | | | Renate Schroeder Dolphin joined 64 other women this month who signed a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee saying they knew the Supreme Court nominee during their high school years and that "he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect."
Now she called revelations from his high school yearbook that showed he and his friends reportedly boasted about their supposed conquests with her "hurtful"
Sean Hagan, who was a Georgetown Prep student at the time and another classmate, who requested anonymity, told the Times that Dolphin was a subject of their boasting. They said Kavanaugh and his friends wanted to memorialize their supposed conquests with the yearbook references. | | | | | Source
As a minimum, these yearbook references demonstrate he did not "treat women with respect".

It is almost embarrassing for the US! | Quote: |  | | | UN audience of world leaders laughs when Trump boasts of achievements
"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country," Trump said, opening his address to the U.N. General Assembly.
Audience members then began chuckling and the laughs grew louder when Trump said "so true." | | | | | Source
Some unkind fake media then started quoting; | Quote: |  | | | Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!

Edit: in contrast to past US presidents, his speech was not once interrupted by applause.

According to https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-hill/ ;
Overall, we rate The Hill slightly Left-Center biased based on story selection and High for factual reporting.
Anyway, the story was published by many sources both liberal and conservative including the conservative News Max here!

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Time to ask another more appropriate question. Is the whole " institution" of Presidency coming to an end? Trump is it's death throes! | | | | | No, and although it's a bit of a circus it is nowhere near the end of Trump's presidency. The Rs still control both houses and the Ds are probably not going to take both in November. Rosenstein is probably out, which puts Mueller's whole investigation at risk. So Trump will likely be there for a while. | The following 2 users would like to thank 3Wishes for this useful post: | |

If Rosenstein leaves then Mueller has a small window of opportunity to issue more indictments before he is blocked.
Of course, Mueller may have nothing up his sleeve!
Anyway Trump has a hard core of supporters who will stay loyal so he will be around for a long time!
Currently Trump's biggest risk is the New York investigation of the Trump Foundation except likely his lawyers have insulated him from any responsibility?
