Its a joke with these softies we have nowadays. Get offended at everything even if a person has apologized. And yet trump sits in the white house of all places
Guest MattP Posted 7 December 2018 Posted 7 December 2018 Reading the George Bush obituary just now and it really struck me how much bullshit the media give us. Hillary Clinton was of course "the most qualified and experienced person ever to run for President as she had been senator and secretary of state" - when George Bush stood in 1992 his experience was actually being President for four years, Vice-President for eight years, director of the CIA, US envoy to China, US ambassador to the United Nations and a Congressman. Before that a successful businessman and fighter pilot in WW2. How do people fall for this stuff?

leicsmac Posted 8 December 2018 Posted 8 December 2018 https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen3/18d/NoTo3/election-analysis.html A whole bunch of Puritan zealotry here, but two statements stand out. "The rallying cry of the pro-family groups trying to repeal the law was the well-known “bathroom safety” argument – that in addition to transgenders, this law allows male sexual predators to lurk in women’s restrooms to prey on girls and women. This was technically true, but was largely contrived." "Our side concocted the “bathroom safety” male predator argument as a way to avoid an uncomfortable battle over LGBT ideology, and still fire up people’s emotions. It worked in Houston a few years ago. But the LGBT lobby has now figured out how to beat it." So...it turns out the arguments about safety used by the "pro-family" lobby were contrived, erroneous BS and they knew it. (Of course, the arguments that this article supports wouldn't have got them even as far as they did.)

leicsmac Posted 10 December 2018 Posted 10 December 2018 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46502210 Good to see that despite this administration engaging in the most wilful and dangerous ignorance and denial that there are others with influence in the US willing to head into the future, not the past. (However, yes, low-emission fission power - followed by fusion in due course - isn't a bad idea.)

I'm actually inclined towards the latter - it does sound like something that someone has taken the time to construct knowing it would work.

desertfox2 Posted 12 December 2018 Posted 12 December 2018 Wow... When your lawyer gets 3 years it's time to start worrying.

Or is the 3 years the clemency? I think you're confusing him with someone else, though he was given some credit for information given to Mueller. His lawyer hints there is a lot more to come out: 'Lanny Davis, who says he is now an adviser to Cohen after today's sentencing, says on ABC, "Michael Cohen is now released to tell the full truth. After Mr. Mueller makes his findings and issues his report, you will see more of Michael Cohen telling the truth about Donald Trump." '
