Just seems a lot of smear bullshit from both sides That shit is pretty readily available, but the gist is pretty much: He's had 19 or so people come forward saying he "seduced" them while they were teenage girls. And 50something other people have corroborated their version of events. The people corroborating the story include: colleagues who worked with Roy Moore, people who owned a mall (that had to ban him, since he wasn't leaving teenagers alone), and a police chief who said he was told to make sure Moore didn't bother high school cheerleaders. Furthermore Moore hasn't even denied any of it. His wife is someone he met at her dance recital when she was 14 years old. Rather than deny anything, he said he always had the girls mother's permission. That last sentence to me is pretty disgusting. Basically an admission he's a pedophile. Franken's shit was offensive and he definitely sexually harassed that woman. But taking a picture of your hands over, but not touching, a sleeping woman's breasts is just weird. It doesn't really compare to being a kiddy fiddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know @nudge doesn't like me diagnosing people But I think in this case it's definitely a narcissistic personality disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,186 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 A few days ago news came out saying Flynn's legal team had dropped all communication with the Trump legal team and they were no longer working together. Now there's reports that Flynn's team has met with members of Mueller's special counsel - which is leading to speculation of an incoming plea deal. Flynn's son is caught up in this shite, so I can imagine him singing like a canary to avoid ruining his son's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also had his press secretary say his tweets are official White House statements though. I don't think there's been much political maneuvering at all from Trump or the GOP - the general plan of action has been to try to ram bills through with their slender majority, or have Pence be the tie breaker (as we saw happen in the confirmation hearings for his cabinet). His maneuvering and tweets led to a failure to bring democrats to the negotiating table when he tweeted "I don't see us negotiating with the democrats" in order to pass a budget and prevent a government shutdown. Unless the goal from his maneuvering is to have a government shutdown. But I don't believe that would reflect well for his administration either. In other news: he's re-tweeted shite from British biggots!

Dr. Gonzo 8,186 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'm not sure one journalist (with a pretty bad track record for saying incorrect things) indicates a network collapsing under fake news. The tax cuts are a big victory for him (and anyone who doesn't use itemised deductions under the US tax code) and GOP donors. The travel ban thing isn't final though - it's just going to be allowed to remain in effect until the Supreme Court makes a decision. I think the Flynn news and his subsequent twitter meltdown indicate that not everything is good in Trump land. I'm actually interested to see what the reaction to the GOP tax plan will be in the red states once it's been put in effect - because a lot of people rely on itemised deductions. It's also projected to massively add to the deficit, which US conservatives usually harp on about until they've got control and then they balloon it out of control (see: Bush 1, GWB, and now the Trumpster). The removal of deductions for state and local taxes is going to be immensely unpopular once people realise that's an effect of this tax bill.
