What does this even mean?

Trump to FBI National Academy graduates: "So you understand, you are great people. I hope your families agree. Probably 90 percent agree. The other 10 percent... that’s not working out so well.”

Totally alien for European eyes, with social housing and free medical care for who needs it. Even in my little corner, just coming out of a financial crisis, people aren't this neglected.
Poverty in the UK or Portugal doesn't look like this.

I know I’ve been cautiously optimistic about trump’s sexual assaults gaining more spotlight but I’m thrilled that it hasn’t fizzled out yet and is still going, albeit fairly slowly.

There have been a whole onslaught of men who have faced consequences/questioning this last week about their sexual assaults and I think it’s possible that this renewed pressure against trump in the general culture might actually go somewhere.

Family Leader's Vander Plaats: Investigate Sexual Misconduct Claims Involving Trump

iowapublicradio.org/post/family-leaders-vander-plaats-investigate-sexual-misconduct-claims-involving-trump#stream/0

The president and CEO of the conservative advocacy group The Family Leader says Americans have a right to know if President Trump engaged in past sexual misconduct. Bob Vander Plaats says the allegations made by a number of women against the president should not be ignored simply because he says he’s innocent.

"A lot of these ladies came forth in the election, and for whatever reason, the American people said 'we're going to give the presidency to Donald Trump.' That doesn't mean their issue went away because he became president."

"I think if these ladies need to be heard on this—and I think they probably should be heard, then let's let the facts play out. I don't think it should be really dismissed," he says.

Not sorry. 'Tis better to have had Obama and lost, than never to have had Obama at all.

We are going to need a new thread.

A fine piece. I wonder if Rosenstein has taken an early night?

cozietoesie · 16/12/2017 01:03

You could do worse, lion, than read some of Bill Palmer's pieces. Speculative they may be, but at least they go a little way towards explaining some of the actions of the main players.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/12/2017 01:06

I noticed that today when we were watching TV, that on various news stations there seemed to be a sense of, I don't know, a pot just starting to come to boil? Like when it just has those tiny bubbles pipping on the bottom? Bits of chatter about Mueller being shut down here, hints of serious impeachment talk there. It's hard to really put your finger on it. Is it real or is it just a case of hearing what you want to hear? Who knows. But we live in hope.

AcrossthePond55 · 16/12/2017 01:08

Today being Friday. It's early evening here and I forgot the time difference!

Forgiven. (I do as well half the time. Wink)

Trump officials are forbidding the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using 7 words in official docs being prepared for next year’s budget: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based,” “science-based.”
