The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The liberal left and democrats have been hounding Trump the moment he announced he was going to run for President trying to pin something on him.

Trying to pin something on him? How about, in reality, trying to find a way to make some of his egregious crimes actually lead to consequences.

Then on the other hand we had a sitting President playing footsie with a intern for a year and half instead of tending to the business of a President and the American people.

Oh please. Stick to reality. Not "instead of" but "in addition to".....as your example unintentionally makes quite clear. "While Ms. Lewinsky was at the White House that evening (9:38 to 10:39 p.m.), the President had one telephone conversation with a Member of Congress: From 9:53 to 10:14 p.m., he spoke with Rep. H.L. "Sonny" Callahan." So instead of saying hey I'm busy, I'll call you back later.....he spent 21 minutes of his hour with Monica on a work phone call.

Yes, Clinton had his detractors. No president doesn't. But his accomplishments in office were....appropriately so.....extremely highly regarded by the large majority.

And he wasn't the first highly effective president to be involved with women outside his marriage while in office (look at FDR and JFK, for starters), nor will he be the last. And that does not eradicate what they accomplished for our country.

Trump is....and always has been....a dishonest human being who uses people to his advantage. He learned a great deal from Roy Cohn, typically referred to as "America's most loathed yet socially successful defense attorney who had vaulted to infamy in the 1950s while serving as legal counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy." Trump openly admitted admiring him enormously, and wanting to emulate his approach.

Trump's focus is feeding his ego and sense of power, whether grabbing pussy because he was a star, being fawned over by dictators aware of his weakness, trying to bend others to his will regardless of the circumstaces, lying about his accomplishments to his maga puppets, taking a great many items from the White House it was against the law for him to keep, and then lying about it..... And this current rape charge now in the courts fits perfectly into this ugly reprehensible portrait of a man who should never ever have been in the White House.....except perhaps as a spectator.
