Ginger yea because in the midst of all the crap we have going on around us, a stupid award causes outrage. Because Clintons.

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:16

Exactly. They get outraged over C Clinton, yet look at all the shit with Ivanka and nothing.

TrueBlueDem · 22/03/2017 20:17

Ginger, yeay! Hope the Russian dude keeps talking! It's like a present. Cake

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:17

If C Clinton did the things Ivanka did, while her mother was President, the GOP would come unglued and literally implode.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 22/03/2017 20:18

Ginger I think your Chelsea Clinton link is interesting in light of that series of tweets upthread about the demonisation of her mother. Same old, same old. God forbid a woman have views of her own or dare to occupy a space in public life.

Nunes just asked on CNN to confirm that Trump was NOT wiretapped.

Nunes responded "That is correct"

I get the feeling that Nunes is taking advantage of this London attack to do things he shouldn't while the world is distracted. Twat.

MrsT2007 · 22/03/2017 20:24

Well Devin Nunes has confirmed Mensch was right back in November that there's was a FISA warrant (re: Russian bank server) and that it was coincidentally catching all of this stuff

So....wonder what else she knows that's right?

It's definitely going tits up at the Whitehouse. The holes in the dyke are getting more numerous by the day.

TrueBlueDem · 22/03/2017 20:24

Ginger so true, if ANY of the Clintons or Obamas did a fraction of anything the Dump family has done, people would go nuclear!

TrueBlueDem · 22/03/2017 20:27

God I just want the whole vile family to go down in flames (minus Barron), and take their cabal with them. And the entire GOP. That's all I want for Christmas this year.

TrueBlueDem · 22/03/2017 20:30

I just don't know how we salvage our reputation in the world even after Dump is either impeached or termed out...things were pretty shaky after Dubya but this shit is like comparing a kindling to a massive forest fire.

AcrossthePond55 · 22/03/2017 20:38

Thanks Cave. Doubly glad I didn't link then! Allsorts gets reported right after this type of thing it's good to be discreet!

TrueBlue I think the Obama's (and other presidents, both GOP and Dem) vacays were much more low-key and not in 'celebrity hot spots' like Aspen. And most presidents went to Camp David or to someone's private residence where security was easier to maintain, not showing off at a 'public' venue like Mar-a-Lago when they did leave DC for a weekend. I remember Nixon's 'Western White House' at San Clemente and when Reagan visited the Annenberg's estate in Palm Springs. Other than the arrival/departure of AF1 and a motorcade, you really never knew they were there. Both places were private and gated.

But the Trumps love that publicity and the 'glitz' of celebrity, don't they?

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:39

I'll be honest, I'm not even that fussed about Melania - she can go somewhere and take care of Barron quietly. I suspect one of the reasons she stays away is because he is so dreadful, and while she's not perfect, I'd be willing to bet she take the chance to just go away with a decent amount of money to raise her son.

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:41

Ah. So the OMB rejected the request for more funds. I wonder what the Secret Service are planning to cut? Smile

You get so used to seeing Trump's ridiculous speeches, it's just so comforting to see this kind of speech.

TrueBlueDem · 22/03/2017 20:48

Acrossthepond- so true! You know, I live in MD right outside of DC and when Obama was President we used to always see/hear the Presidential helicopters on their way to Camp David and we never see them anymore. I guess Camp David is for peasants.

Ginger if Melania is smart she'll pull a Marla Maples and raise Barron far away from his father.

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:49

Whoops. I think Nunes might be in trouble.

Ginger bahahahahahahaha! We're gettin' SO tired of winning over here!!!
On a personal note, my family has health insurance through Obamacare so I'm feeling a little less scared now.

GingerIvy · 22/03/2017 20:55

I have family in the states that have coverage through Obamacare as well. She says it's a good thing.
